THE EASTERN TROUBLE.

United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph-Copyright. CONSTANTINOPLE, June 24. A British landing party has commenced blowing up the guns in the Dardanelles fortifications. There have been no further attacks by the Nationalism on Ismid, but the situation is dangerous, while Mustapha Pasha commands 15,000 men, and the British have a force only designed to police Constintinople, rather than to del'end the capital, which is the real obiective of Mustapha’s advance. PARIS, June 24. A message from Beyrout repoxts that a Greek offensive began on Tuesday, the Turks fleeing in disorder. The Greeks occupied Akhiasar, 47 miles north-east of Smyrna, and have begun an attack on Salihli, a few miles southeast of Akhissar.
