THE GRECO - TURKISH WAR.
ROYAL RELATIVES INTERCEDING FOR GREECE. OSMAN PASHA RECALLED TO CONSTANTINOPLE. FIGHTING STILL PROCEEDING AT EPIRUS. THE TURKS ADVANCING ON DOMOKU. {Per Press Association.—Copy ri/jht.) Athens, May 10. The Czar, at Princess Olga's request has used his influence with the Sultan and his advisers to secure an armistice, in order, if possible, to arrange a cessation of hostilities between Turkey and Greece. The Crown Princess of Germany, despite the quarrel which for a considerable time has existed between her and the Emperor, has also appealed to the Emperor William to lend aid to the efforts being made to end the war. Osman PasEa, who, after his arrival at Salonica, received orders to proceed to Sanina in Albania, has now been recalled to Constantinople. Fighting is still going on in Epirns. The Turks have inflicted a heavy defeat on the Greeks at Kamarina, near Louros. General Smolenski, who from Velestino retired with his left wing upon Almyro, has taken up a position at Sourpi, near Almyro, where he expects to be attacked. The Turks are in strong force along the DoinokuAlmyro line, and a general engagement is expected to take place shortly. The position of the main Greek army at Domoku is exceedingly strong.
