The War M Ended. If Populace Would Not Endure Surrender. London. April 30.- It is rashly as sumed io' many parts of Europe that the war is virtually fioished. It is al together premature to indulge io such hopes until the result of the political crisis in Athens is fully * assured. The new ministry cannot openly advocate a policy of surrender, even if it believes S; the straggle against the Turkish army is glhopebss. Tbe opposition have been v from the first more warlike than the displaced ministry. The latest Athens dispatches indicate that the prime minister, Kalli, and his followers will continue to accuse the Greek commanders of cowardice, and to affirm that the Greek troops will be able to retrieve the country's fortunes if they are properly led. Tbe ooly thing that can be expected, therefore, is a farther attempt to snatch victory from defeat. It is a desperate chance. V Even those who are most friendly to tbe Greeks do not expect them to suc ceed. Io view of this situation there ia a belief in certain diplomatic circles that strong efforts will be made to io terfere without the open solicitation of Greece, with a secret understanding with- the Greek government that all rea sonable conditions, such as the with drawal of tbe Greek troops from Orete, will be complied with. To-day's advance of tbe Turkish forces seems fco make at least one more severe engagement inevitable. Telegrams sent from Athens to-day ' show that the new prime minister, M. Baili,, is tbe idol ot the populace, for the moment. It is'probable that the Greek defeat at Pb&reala and tbe consequent peril of tbe capital will enable the ministry to gain the consent of the country to * ifs making submission to the powers. IQ the meantime his fondly believed in . moat of the European capitals that the agreement of the czar and the Austrian emperor, arrived at in St. Petersburg, is a practical guarantee of the peace of Europe against all dangers. This agreement is interpreted in Vienna as the beginning of the end of the triple alliance and as significant of the new . grouping of the powers. It is plainly intimated that no obstacle remains io tbe It ass ian occupation of Co o s tant co pie when tbe czar chooses. It assumed shat British opposition will be futile, eonsuleriog the strength of the combi nation against Lord Salisbury. It should be borne in mind, however, that, the position of France and Italy is by no mean s assured OB the three empe rors. The friends of Lord Salisbury, who welcomed bim on his return from the Riviera, are distributed by the fact that - ms*health did not improve during his stay abroad. Fighting Continues. Two Very Hot Battles at Velastxno, _* Athens, April 30 -A dispatch Irorn near the front at Volo, dated last even ing, describes the fighting during the attack by the Turks upoo Velastioo. 10 . miles from Volo, as furious aod bloody. The Turks attempted to turo the Greek right, and made repeated as saults, which were repulsed every time with heavy loss to the Turks. The en gagement lasted over two hours, during which nearly 1,000 Turks were under fret The dispatch adds that the Turks, were apparently sot dismayed by their failures, aod that the Greeks expect a more furious onslaught on the morrow (to-day) at daylight. The Turks out numbered the Greeks, but the position of the latter, the dispatch said, was strong. The Greek government has no advices that Yolo subsequently fell Into tbe haods of tbe Turks, aod the report to that effect from Constanti nople is derided. Advices to-night from Pbarsala say that the Greeks under General Smolensk i won another victory over tbe Turks at Velastioo to day. The Turkish force which attacked the place numbered 8,000. They were repulsed with en or m ons loss. General Smol ensk! bas telegraphed to Crowo Prince Constantine at Pbarsala asking him to congratulate the Greeks upon their suc cess. London, April 30-A dispatch to tbe Times from Athens says that ihe right wing of tbe Greek army under command of General Smoleoski, main tained its positron at Velestioe against 1 tba Turkish attack, but the left wing, despite tbe fact that it bad been rein forced by the troops under General 1 Mavremiebalis, was compelled to retire. The dispatch adds that it is feared that the Greek position at Pbarsala may be 1 outflanked by the Turks and that a retreat on Domoke maj be necessary. A PIFFESENT STORY. Athens, April 30 -The correspond- j eot of. the Associated Press who was at Larissa with the Turks oo Wedoesday says that on the arrival of the Turkish i troops there they found the fortress io- i tact aod obtained possession of im- < me se quantities of ammunition of all kiods. The abandonment of such a j strong position is incomprehensible. | j The news of tbe occopation of Volo by j t the Turkish forces is momentarily es- j i pected here. I .'Eleven more Greek canooo," the i correspondent nf the Associated Press i < ! continues, were found along the road to I Larissa. A Jew who has just arrived j at Larissa from Volo says that the i place ia deserted aod that the garrison j also has left. The troops have gone to Pharsala. <4AU is quiet here aod most of the Jews remained io Larissa. Two battalions of Turkish infautry are guarding the railroad station of J Larissa, where are found the remains I of hospital stores which were left by the Greeks at the last moment. The inhabitants of Larissa say the Greeks seized all the horses and carriages. The newspaper meo fled on foot. Expected Combat at Pharsala. People Depressed, and Irrita tion Against the Royal Family Still Con tinues. London, May 2.-A dispatch to The Standard from Athens, filed this even ing, states that the geoeral expectatioo thac a decisive battle would be fought to-day at Pharsala created intense anx iety. Groups of people gathered in the streets and animatedly discussed the probable resnlt of the expected combat, bat no attack apon the Greek positions was made by the Turks. The tispatch adds that Col. Tsamavos, tbe aew minister of war, and M Tbeotakis, CD io i s ter of the interior, arrived at Pharsala at noon to-day. They reviewed the troops, whose morale is oowdescribed a*) excellent. The Standard's correspondent far ther states that although the Greeks fought courageously and maintained their positions at Velest;no, they suffer ed serious losses. It is estimated that the Tarka, wheo retreating from Veles tino, barned several .villages. The estimated value of the provisioos and war material captured by the Turks thus far in the campaign is $900,000. The retreat of the Greek forces from the province of IGpiros still depresses the people, whose attitude is sombre The deep irritation against the mem bers of the royal family continues. The diplomats in Athens had a pro tracted conference to-day. It is be lieved they discussed the question of sending ootes to their respective gov ernments io reference to mediation. GREEKS* POSITIONS WEAK. Load OD. May 2 -A special dispatch to The Times from Pharsala, dated to-day. says that there are about 30, 000 Greek troops in and about that city. They have 60 guns. Informa tion regarding the Turks is s cao ty, bot they are probably advancing from Trikkala. The Greeks are inactive and their positions are weak A dispatch to The Times from Athens confirms the report of the Turk ish repulse at Velestino. Ge*o. Smo lensk!, commanded at that place and* is now regarded as the hero of the com paigo. The dispatch adds that a for eign officer who witnessed the affair estimated that the Turks numbered 25.000, and the Greeks 8,000. He doubts whether it was intended as a serious effort to turn the Greek position. The same officer states that the Turks are steadily advancing on Pharsala, where he believes a decisive conflict will ocaur either to morrow or Tues day. Another officer who witnessed the repulse of the Turks at Velestino says the Turkish cavalrymen who made the attack were mono ted on mere ponies They rode dose to the Greek lines, were fired on and then retreated with a loss of 30 men. The Greek cavalry pursued the Turks, and it is reported that they captured 9 men and 19 horse . The dispatch adds that the retreat of the Greeks from Epiros re mains a mystery. The eBtire loss in that province is estimated to have been 200 meo killed or wounded. United in Greece. Factions Are Friends While Turks Remain Foes. Athens, May 1 -The legislative as sembly to-day. There was a full at tendance of members and the galleries were crowded an with interested audience all anxious to bear the declarations of policy from the new government. Prime Minister Kalli was somewhat coolly received wheo be entered After the usual formalities attended upoo the opening of the boase bad been conclod ed, M. Ra Hi made an .address He said the first care of the govern men t would be to reorganise the army Without that it would be impossible to conclude an honorable peace. Happily the army, whiob was worthy of a bet ter fate than it bad met, maiotaioed its spirit unimpaired, and the country might confidently rely upon it He ap pealed to the chamber aod thc country to cooperate with tbe government. He cooclnded by asking that the cham ber, which bad beeo convened io extra ordinary session, adjourn. M. Delyannis, Prime Minister Kalli's predecessor in office, ooncorred in the request for an adjournment. He idded that he would fully support the cabinet so long as the Turks occupied an inch of Greek territory. M. Phiiaretos demanded that the government recall Crown Prince Con taotine and Prince Nicholas from tho 'root, adding sarcastically that it wan plainly evideot that the crown priocee j was over J fatigued. This remark j ;voked applause from the galleries. I " M. Ral li coo firmed tbe reports of a Greek victory at Velastioo. He de clared tbat the retreat of the Greeks from Epiru8 bad been orderly except oe tbe parc of the infantry, which bad been iufeoted with panic by the vil lagers. The chamber adopted the proposal to adjourn after which Delyannis ap proached M. Ralii and shook bis baud. This evidence of friendship between the leader of the opposition and the leader of the government was greeted I with some applause. I A Desperate Case But the Greek Masses Still Favor Fighting. Ii3ndon,May 3-It seems almost use less, according to dispatches from a great variety of sources, to expect any rally of the Greek forces. The fight ing spiric aod material of the rank aod file still remain, but they lack compe* tent leadership The rage of the com mon people revives as the details of the ignominious failure of the Greek cam paign iu Thessaly become known. Ac cording to the latest news from Athens it is directed against the royal family, especially the crown prince, who never was popular and is now detested. Ref ugees from Larissa describing the con duct of tbe crowo prince's retinue when the city was evacuatad, say that they filled a whole train with the prince's baggage, including supplies fit for a command, consisting of ducks and all sorts of delicacies, while hun dreds of wounded soldiers <?ere left to their fate. It is impossible to verify such stories, but the Eoglish corres poudeots'who send them do not ques tiou their truth. A definite announcement of the policy of the Halli ministry is moment arily expected. It is begiooiog to be seen, eveo in Athens, that all hope of a successful resistance to the Turks is gone.. There is an intense desire, however, to retrieve the disgrace that has fallen upon the cation caused by cowardly leadership. Patriotic Greeks, inclodiog a large section of the army, demand that one great battle be fought even if defeat be certain, in order to vindicate tbe honor of Greece. Theo they will be willing to submit and seek the good offices of the powers, which the latter are so anxious to exercise. The impression prevails that whatever popular feeling may be, officia! circles would welcome an imposition of. mediation by the pow ers that would delay any definite de claration. The action on tbe part of the new ministry may be explained by statiog that they are awaitiog the fulfil ment of their hope, despite the deoials of the diplomats, and that they are in passing accordance witt* ;he decision of the powers to await Greece's act of penance. Persistent reports circulate that the foreigo envoys are using their efforts io thc direction of peace with a prospect of success. Meanwhile the hopes of the patriots are io the soldiery under General Smolensk*!, the hero of Velestino Iodependent accounts ascribe to bim great ability, souod judgment, coolness, personal courage aod tbe faculty of in spiring confidence. Only a strategist he baa not yet been proved. Should he meet the invaders and be defeated it would undoubtedly be tbe last act of the military drama. 'Thereafter a revo lution might be expected. ON THE MISSISSIPPI There is Still Cause for the Gravest Apprehension. New Orleans, April 30.-The storm of last night, during which fonr inches of rain yfell, gave the people of Donalds vi Ile and Ascen sion and lberville parishes a scare At the various weak places in the levee half the population of the pariahes was up all night and at work on the levees It is claimed to day that the storm and raitt actually bene fited the levees, packing the earth more thoroughly and solidifying the defenses of the Louisiana lowlands President Maxwell of the Tensas levee district of Louisiana is certain there will be a rise of at least two feet more on the Lower Mississippi and thinks the people south of Red river are doing well to put their levees in order. The belief in Ten sas basin is that when the present Hood concentrates its forces south of Red river, which it Will not do for weeks hence, it will attain a volume that will sweep away the levees on either side like chaff. All the mighty ocean that will well nigh aver ge 40 miles in width from Cairo to Vicksburg must pass through a chan rsel a mile or two wide after leaving Red river. While the greater portion of Madi son parish is under water, only 4,000 acres having escaped, the parish just above it is complaining of the drouth ind-crops are set back for want of water. j ; The uegroes in the overflowed sec tions are fortunate just now in ihe j immense quantities of shad and sar lines coming up the river to spawn j rijey are caught in scoop nets and provide the chief food for thousands , jf refugees - _ -MOO- -^mmam A child uns cup-d of croup by H dos or j wo of Ayer's Cherry lector*!

A distinct earthquake shock was felt in western Virginia yesterday, parti cularly at Lynchburg, Salem and Wythesvilid. What use is there in eating when food doe3 you no good-io tact, when it does you more barm than good, for sucb is the case if it is not digested ? If you have a loathiog for food there is no ese of forcing it down, for it will not bedi ges'ed. You must restore the digestive organs to their natural strength and cause rhe food io be digested, wben HQ appe tite will come, aud with it a relish for food The tired, languid feeling will eire place to vigor and energy ; tben you will put flesh on your hones and become stroog.
