It Invites Prince Mavrocordato and all Greek consuls on Turkish territory to quit the confines of the empire, giving the Greek sub jects fifteen days' ribtlce. An official communication -to the newspapers states that the Imperial government hasspared no pains to pre serve the . peace, but Greece, having sent troops to Crete in" defiance "of the wish of .the powers and having begun hostilities on the frontier, has com pelled Turkey to defend her Integrity and retaliate by an act of war. ... . : The minister of Var has , given ex plicit orders to Edham Pasha.

The Tur kish battalions at Prevesa, on the north shore of the entrance of the gulf of Arta, where, according to the treaty of BerHn, the Turks had!' no right to erect a ; fortification, fired on and sunk ' a Greek steamer, the Macedonia, this morning- while she was attempting to leave the gulf of Ambracla. ' The crew of the steamer were' saved by boats from the shore,' but the captain of the Macedonia was severely wounded. . Upon receipt of this news the Greek government sent orders to the Greek fleet in the gulf of Ambracla to bom- bard Prevesa- Consequently the bom- .uarumeni 01 rrevesa uuminenceu mo o'clock this morning and continues as this dispatch is sent." Prevesa, which is in Espirus and eighteen miles from Arta, is strongly fortified.- -Athens, April 18. 8 p. m. A late spe cial sitting of the legislative assembly ment M. Delyannis, the premier, -announced that the Turkish government had today notified Greece of the rup ture . of diplomatic relations on -the ground of the aggressive attitude of the Greek-government. " ' ' In a cool, but deliberate speech he re viewed the recent events to show, on the confrary. that Turkey had been the aggressor; that her troops had attacked the Greeks and attempted to occupy neutral positions, and that her batter ies at Prevesa had sunk the Greek ship Macedonia. - . "Turkey,"- said M. Delyannis, "de clares war against us. We accept it." This statement was received with pro longed cheers from the galleries to the floor of the chamber. The leader of .the opposition, amid re newed cheers--fyonr all-' parts of ; the chamber and froin the galleries, elo-? quently indorsed the patriotic declara tion of M. Delyannis. . A dispatch received here at 9 p.- m., says that the Skafidiki batteries, which were attacked by Greek warships short ly before 3 o'clock this afternoon, have been completely destroyed. The Greek battery at Kefalipanaghia co-operated effectively with the flotilla in the bom-f bardment. - . ' . '....' ' J " The Turkish minister -here, Assim Bey, has asked for his passports; they have been handed him, and he has left Athens for Constantinople. The Ger man. minister at Athens, Baron" von Plessen, has undertaken to protect Turkish Interests in Greece during the severance of diplomatic relations be tween the "two countries. The Greeks hold that -It was an at-" ytempt upon - the part of the Turkish forces to occupy a strategic position near Mpunt Analyipsis, not far from Nezeros, in the neutral zone, which led to the encounter on Friday between the Greeks, and the Turks. This, it is add ed, was used at Constantinople as a reason for ordering Edham Pasha, to assume the offensive and led to the rup ture of diplomatic relations between the countries.. i ... The Greek government, therefore, is warmly Commended for recalling the Greek minister at Constantinople and not waiting, " according to the Greek version, until. Prince Mavrocordato was handed his passports. According to the general understand ing here, the Turkish plan of campaign is a concentration of the Turks near the important. Greek frontier town of Tyr navos, with a view of forcing the moun tain passes leading - toward Larissa. One report, which is generaly credited, has it that Edham Pasha, at the head of 12,000 men, has already begun this movement, and rumors in this respect are .flying, jthe substance of them be ing that the battle which is expected to be fought at or near Tyrnavos has al ready commenced. Foot of Milouna Pass, April 18. 10 a. m. A .fierce battle raged in the pass all night. The Greeks, who entered and de scended toward the valley, encountered four ' battalions of Turks, who drove them back and at the point of the bay onet rescued the force garrisoning the Turkish blockhouse, .which . the Greeks had encircled before entering the pass. Elassona, April 18. (Headquarters of the Turkish Army in Macedonia.) Be fore . dawn Edham Pasha rode out to direct the disposition of his divisions. A general engagement - ensued. The battle still continues along the entire pass, Over 20,000 men being engaged. The combat turned on the possession of the Greek blockhouse, which was roost obstinately denfended. Several vigorous attacks were made by the Turks with out success, but finally, about 9 o'clock, by a magnificent dash, they took the blockhouse at the point of the bayonet. The Greeks are still defending their positions on the summit of the hill. At the present moment four battalions of Menduh Pasha's division is advancing to the frontier positions already taken. The Turks are fighting -like lions the Turkish artillery doing splendid execu tion under the command of Riza Pasha. The correspondent of the Associated Press says: . . I regret to have to announce the death of Hafiz Pasha at Milouna. The battle Is still undecided, but the Turks, without ealling-upon the reserves, have taken almost the whole pass. I saw many groups of wounded men, but they were mostly on ,the heights. Ambu lances have been sent to bring them in, I cannot say whether the Turks intend to advance on Larissa." Athens, April 18. 8 p. m. In the fighting on the frontier the Turks have occupied Ana and Enilouna, but they have not succeeded in taking Kata. (Last Night's Dispatches.) jjonaon, . April The situation on the frontier-has not, according to the latest advices, been materially modi. fled today. ; Both the Turks and the Greeks are resting from the tremen dous exertions of Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The troops of Edam Pasha, were, naix aeaa wun iatigue and hun ger when- the fight slackened last night. Most of them v flung themselves .down wfiere they stood on the bare ground to ieep.' u ne.nirKisn. commander-in chief "prudeatly . decided - to allow his army to. rest ,today. AS", details come in it becomes more, and more apparent that the fighting in Mflouna. pass was of the. most stubborn and savagechar actef. The1 Turks' fought like devils" and thefGreeks resisted in the spirit of their ancestors. The mfost inexplica ble fact In connection with the whole engagement is the comparatively small number of killed. All the special cor respondents agree . as to - this. The Turks appear to have fired as wildly with their rifles at' Milouna pass as they did at Arta, where the fighting . consisted of an artillery duel between the rival batteries on each side of the river, lasting about four hours In the afternoon. There they fired onjy one out of five shots with -any effect and their batteries were soon silenced by the Greeks, whose marksmanship was very much .superior. , The Turkish, losses at Arta are believed to have been very heavy. On the Greek 1 side there was not a man killed. ,. . XAter (9 p. m.) General Bmolenltz. exmlnister of war, . is in command of 14,000 Greeks at Reveni, not fax from Tyrnavos,' northwest of' Larissa. " At this point Edhem Pasha, closely press ed, was nearly taken prisoner. His plan was to force the pass of Reveni to enter the plain of Larissa, to cut off the retreat of the 5reek army with his cavalry and thus, to, take Larissa without resistance.' .But this plan was defeated. General Temopoulos, - at" the head of one Greek division, forced, the Turkish "line" at Boughazl, close' to Tyrnavo,; and- General Movromochale broke through at Koniskos. The1" two generals united their" troops' near Dam -asi. The news of this success at Re veni, and of the imminent fall of Pre vesa, has changed the dismay caused at Athens by the loss of Milouna into the wildest rejoicing. The latest ad vices tonight are that the Greek troops are advancing" to re-occupy their posi tions at Milouna and at Orithovali, the latter of which, it is alleged, was aban doned, owing to a misunderstanding by the general in command who; interpret-, ed as an order of retreat what was really an order to advance.' ."" Captain Tagarde, who ,was wounded at Grithzovali, shot himself In order to avoid falling into the hands -of the Turks. The Greeks report that th Turks lost 7,000 killed and wounded at Reveni, but this estimate is probably excessive. The Greek engineers con structed a bridge at Pachyskalos, to enable their troops to cross the river. It is' stated that the Turkish forces. attacking Reveni numbered more-' than 10,000 men. . ' ' .; 'Larissa. April 19, 5 p. m. The Greeks have defeated the Turks at Reveni and two Greek brigades have entered Turk-, ish territory in different directions and penetrated to. Damasi, northeast , . or Zarkos. (Another division is trying to flank the Turks who are retreating -in disorder. .- Heavy fighting is in progress at Ghit- zovali. It has been' going on since noon. The Greeks are trying to recap ture the place. v ' Athens: April 19. !A telegram receiv ed from Arta says the troops have left that point for J an in a. The- seav-off Prevesa is very rough. The firing there today was desultory. Constantinople, April 19 The Turk. ish authorities at Prevesa have pro claimed the gulf of -Arta closed to all but Turkish ships. Elassona, rApril 19. (Evening. )-The Turkish- "forces continue, to hold .the Milouna pass though it is reported that the Greeks are advancing or mak ing ready to advance to re-occupy tho positions from which they were dis lodged on Sunday. The two block houses have bee"n strongly fortified, and it would take a powerful body of Greek troops to recapture them. Edhem Pasha has entrenched himself on all the heights from Papalyvada to Meck- che and strong bodies of troops are sta tioned in the defiles .between these two points. The inhabitants of Elassona have left the town en masse and are pushing': northward, - many of them going on" to Salonica, Evidently they fear that the Greeks will defeat the Turks and actually reach this place. Edhem -Pasha, the Turkish command er-in-chief, is a marvel of energy and caution. He attends more assiduously to his duties than any member of his staff, receives reports while . on horse back and attends to trifling details with as -much care as to important movements. His manner is grave and imperturbable. It is curious to note how implicltely he is relied upon tty his troops'. -Salonica, April 19. (A Turkish torpe do boat has- sunk the Greek .steamer Athens in the gulf of Balonica. On board were insurgents and members of various secret societies. A general panic prevails here. All vessels, are prohibited from leaving the gulf. The Turks have seized the Greek steamer Kenhalelon. - - Athens, April 19.-HWhile the.incidents of the day along the eastern, portion of the frontier- have not been of nota ble importance. the1 situation xat the gulf of Arta and in the vicinity of the (Albanian frontier have become more favorable for the Greeks. The bom bardment of Prevesa was resumed at daybreak, with but feeble replies from the Turkish batteries at Hamidien ana Pantocratoros. The position of the Turks is untenable, and it is believed that the: town will fall into the hands of the large Greek force in the vicini ty which is waiting for the demolita tton of the remaining batteries. The Greek battleship Spetzia has taken the lead in the bombardment. Colonel Manos with 25,000 men having crossed the Arakphos under the pro tection of the Greek artillery batteries, is now In Epirus where it is believed his force is considerably-in excess of the Turkish. - It-is reported here that e laree body of Albanians, estimated at -upwards of 2,000 who had crossed" the Greek frontier with the avowea mxen- tion of pushing oh to Larissa, has re- crossed and is now ravaging JUpirus. Arta is practically deserted. The mayor has transferred" the public offices ana .official records to Konlpote. ; 1;I : ; Butler Refuse to Call a Populist Conven. 1 i ... . . . r ' Washington, April 19.

The ! re sponses had been . overwhelmingly in favor of non-action, - no less "than " 75 taking the adverse -position.while six straddled, and only 14 were in favor of convention.- "If ' the natlonar conven tion" said Senator Butler, "had been in favor of a convention I should have certainly called one. I have no desire to do anything except what a majority of recognized leaders of our party ask. In this case, however, a certain num ber of populists who, in the last cam paign wanted a separate electoral tick et in every state, have banded together and they "think that the- party wants reorganizing. I cannot see what Is to be gained by a convention at this time, and I have said so very plainly."- Senator Butler has sent to the com mittee" of the National " Reform Press Association -which demanded he' issue a call, a ' letter refusing to do so and giving his reasons for the refusal.

THE ALLIED POWERS To Take Some Action to Stop the Graeeo Tnrklsh War They Cannot Agree as to '.- the Coarse to Pursue. " (Copyrighted by the Associated Press.) London, April 19. 7 p. m. In spite of the 'fact that the hostilities on the Greek, frontier have caused but little excitement here, communications have been in progress all . day long between the foreign offices afRome, Paris and Athens. It is reported tonight , that among the other matters considered is the expediency of ordering the Inter national fleets to leave Cretan waters and to go in the direction of Salonica and the Dardenelles to watch the fight ing, with a view to localizing it, if nec essary, by nayal intervention. Should this suggestion, which : is Understood to emanate from the Italian foreign of fice,: be acted upon, it is probable that only half the fleet of foreign warships would be withdrawn for such a pur pose, the other half remaipjng to con tinue , the Cretan blockade. .:- ? There is said to be a sharp difference of -opinion between the miltary powers4 Russia, Austria, Hungary and Gerr many and the Maritime powers Great Britain, France, and Italy as to the ,. most expeditious and least violent methods of compelling a cessation of hostilities- should 1 this result hot '"be reached by the exercise of diplomatic pressure at Athens and Constantinople. The likelihood is that the force to be employed by ; Europe, if a resort to force becomes necessary, would be by sea, as the contingencies of military in tervention might be more serious than the hostilities now in progress. It 'is reported at the foreign office that the communications received here3 to day from the Marquis of Salisbury, af ter his interview with Oueen Victoria, at Nice, support the r theory , that the British government is using its utmost energy to persuade both the combat tants to make a cessation of the con flict at the stage which it has now reached. ; " .

Initial stages of the breaking, out of hostilities. tie says tnat several parties or troops from Greece had invaded the Turkish jjrorvlnce of Macedonia; KeeppnsibrMtyior' This movement, , however;, v was denied by the Greek t minister, at. ; Constantinople. Meanwhile! an advance on Larissa, the Greek headquarters in northwest Greece, had been ordered by the Turkish govern ment, which had s. recalled its ' minister from Athens. 3: . -.-"The United gtates navy is prepared to do all that is necessary for the pro tection of American interests, though it Is not expected, that . that., will be a, large task. . Admiral Selfridge," the commander of the European squadron, consisting at' present of four warships, all-in the east ern Mediterranean," has ' been expecting an Outbreak of hostilities, and from time to time has advised the -navy department of the outlook. He is now under general instructions to look after "American in terests, and' no attempt hasl been made or Is likely in the immediate future to give him precise directions as to his con duct The movement of the vessels of the squadron will be left entirely to his dis cretion, the department believing that as he is at the seat of war. he is better, pre pared than any one here to aci to the best advantage." : ' - The first sign that the admiral haaJiiLe gun the disposition of his little squadron to meet the war epoch was the receipt of a. cablegram at . the navy department to day announcing the arrival of the .United States cruiser Minneapolis at Syra. This is an island "in' the Greek archipelago, lying at the foot of the Aegean sea, and at - !a point almost equally, distant from Crete, where war has been actually going on for weeks, Athens, and the1' entrance to the Dardanelles, so that' it is admirably selected, in. the judgment of the depart ment oflScial's, as a place of. observation and a base 1 of " action in either direction where an - American - warship ' may be needed.- " ' .----'' - ; ""---- The officials of - both - state and navy department, however, have . .little appre hension of .the ill-treatment of American citizens in either Turkey or Greece, which is regarded as about the only, possible cause of friction now Possibly, at a later stage in the war, in the- event that the Turks are defeated there may be rioting at Constantinople or some of; the larger Turkish cities... but that , is not, feared at present.' '" '' '- . The Turkish minister, Moustapha Bey, has communicated 4 with Secretary Sher man oni the status of the Turko-Qrecian conflict-. He officially informed the Amer ican secretary of state, of the termination of diplomatic . relations between Turkey, and 'Greece and of the attitude of of fense which Turkey had been compelled to take' by "reason ''.of 'the . aggressive course of Greece:'- It was expressly made known, however, that no declaration -of war had .been .issued. Untile this official step is taken, the. hostilities-, along the frontier, are .regarded in the light of pre liminary movements, designed, to secure strategic positions, butnot constituting war as contemplated by a formal declara tion of war.' Until this declaration of war Is made the United States govern ment Is not likely to give official recog nition of the existing, state of affairs . by an announcement of neutrality or such other step as the authorities iiay regard as necessary to safe-guard American in terests. .... : . ... V .-. - It is noted here with curiosity that the cablegrams so far received are so con flicting on one point namely, whether war has or has -not been formally and of ficially declared, that it is not yet possi ble to decide what the state of affairs i3. The common belief in diplomatic circles is that there has been no such thing as a formal declaration of war and it is re called that of late years it has become rather the rule than the exception to wage war actually without a formal dec laration. In the present case, however, the fact is regarded among diplomats as of the first Importance, for ihe reason that the powers have given notice that the nation that is the aggressor in the conflict will , not be permitted to reap any advantage from a war. While Tur key may be strongly armed with evi dence going to show that Greece has been the aggressor, still, if she herself has been the first to declare war formally, that fact must have technical weight in affecting the judgment -of the powers. , The president is taking ; an active in terest in the struggle between the Greeks and- Turks, and is being constantly ad vised by the department of state as to the latest developments in the war. He wishes to ensure-the-adoption of all proper and usual precautions for the pro tection of American interests in the Mediterranean, s .- It may be that within a short time some question will arise that will involve ac tion of some sort on our part, arising, per haps, from attempts by both Turks and Greeks to blockade each others "ports, which possibly might Interfere with the introduction of some American- products, but at present this is a ' remote contin gency. r . .-tt - GREECE'S SITUATION. . : j. . ,-.v ' ;!?;,., vf - -' X"Minister Snowden Shows Why It Is Not Propittloos for. ft Successful Warf With Turkey A Message From King George. - Philadelphia, April ; 1?.

" - Continuing, Mr. Snowden said: "There never was so ill an -opportunity as the present for Greece 1 to iiave a conflict with tTurkey7Up-to two or three - years ago an advance of the Greek army- into. Thessaly would have meant a general uprising of -Roumania, Bulgaria, 'Servia and Macedonia and the overpoweringof the Turks, for Roumania alone has a larger and bet ter equipped army than the sultan, Now, however, the situation is very difficult, Roumania has practically es tablished an allegiance with t Germany by having a Hohenzollern upon the throne. Bulgaria has almost ; become a Russian province and Servia's king is the son of a daughter of a Russian colonel; so that unless the peoples of these countries act contrary' to the in flhence of their leaders," there is not likely to be any combination against Turkey, The' Turks can, and: no doubt will.- drive the Greeks back of i,th6 fron tier. : The Turkish army outnumbers that of Greece, two to one, and is bet ter equipped.
