Owing to the fact that it was not inâ€" tended to commence the decisive en- gagement. until Friday. the Turkish division intended to take the enemy in‘ flank only arrived half an hour be- fore the. close of the combat, having marched thirty miles. The artillery played a leading part in the fighting, although the Greek guns, wh‘le they opened well, ended badly. while ours were served even better than usual. The Turkish attack upon Valisi was ' made without any previous plan, The men were ordered to capture the place, and they advanced quietly, shooting as though hunting.

A deepatcfl: from Pretoria sayszâ€"The Volksraad held a protracted secret ses- sion on Wednesday to discuss the ans- wer to be made to the despatches of liLr. Chamberlain. British Secretary of State for the Colonies, which demand- ed a repeal of the Transvaal immigra- tion law. ‘ [ On Thursday the Volksraad repealed the law, not because it was a breach of the London convention. but because it was distasteful to neighbouring States. Mr. Caster, the Transvaal State At- torney. has tendered his resignation in disapproval of the repeal. The poaition taken by Mr. Chamber- lain on the subject of the Transvaal was stated in his despatoh to Lord Rosemead, the British High Commis- sioner at the Cape, under date ofDeâ€" camber 15th, 1896. He said to Lord Rosemead:â€"â€""Inforin the Government of the South African Republicthat her Majesty‘s Government cannot, in view of article 14 of the London conven~ tion, admit that the Government of the South African Republic has a right of expelling or restricting foreigners who are. not shown to have failed to conform to the laws of the Republic. and that her Majesty’s Government re- serves the right of rejecting to pro~ ceedings under the Act which may amount to a breach of the convention.” “Inform the Government. of the South African Republic that her Maâ€" jesty's Government is advised that the. alien immigration law infringes article 14 of the London convention. inâ€" asmuch as by it new and burdensome conditions, in most cases probably imâ€" possible to fulfil, are imposed on per- sons who under the convention are at South African Republic on of tonforming to its laws. "You will state [that her Majesty‘s Government appreciates the repeated assurances of President Kruger that the.

London convention, which declares that all persons other than natives con- i forming themselves to the laws of the South African Republic shall have full liberty to enter, travel, or reside in any part of the republic. The alien immi- grants law provided that such per- sons would not. be. at liberty to enter or reside in the republic unless they could sho waffirtmatively that they; had the. means or ability to support themselves. Mr. Chamberlain argued that as the only condition imposed byl the convention is that they should con- form to the laws of the republic, the new law would be ultra vireo, and moreover Would impose a. condition of a. burdensome nature which it might be difficult for many of the. poorer, though perfectly respect-i able immigrants to satisfy." .thiit 'l‘urkey has “further' ‘ BATTLE 0i_pHiiiiiui AGAIN THE TURKISH TROOPS DRIVE THE GREEKS BACK. lleld ’l‘lielr 0w“ When the Sun Went Down on Wednesday. but They Iii-treated In the Nightâ€"The Powers Now on‘cr Inter- venlionâ€" Lord Sullsbury’s Speech Ill Ilie Primrose League.

A special despatch from Athens aa- serts that the losses of the Greeks in the fighting at Veiestino and Pharsa- 105 were certainly one thousand kill- ed and wounded, while the Turks lost fully six thousand killed and wounded. \VEDNESDAY’S FIGHTING. The London Daily Mail’s correspon- dent with the Turkish forces at Phar- salos, telegraphing Thursday morning, says: " Yesterday’s (Wednesday) batâ€" tle was most sublime as a Spectacle, and the most decisive of the entire war. It was not intended at the beginning that. the fight should be a regular pitched engagement, but. on the arrival of Edâ€" hem Pasha at the outposts a furious firing began. The weather was cool and the sky somewhat; cloudy, after a. thunderstorm. The Ivillage of Pharâ€" salos could be seen huddled as it were under a line of lowâ€"peaked hills. High- er and round about were black hills rising behind others, while between this and the village ran asanall stream known to the ancients as the Raipeus, crossed by a bridge. At the railway, between the stream and the village, were Greeks in an excellent. position. well defended by earthworks. Their advance line consisted of two brigades. and. their reserve of two half brigades, altogether about £0,000 men. Ail against these were 50,008 Turks. "The artillery began the engage- ment the Greek practice being much better than usual, but after about two hours they began to retire across the river. This was a great mistake, as they were thus enclowd between the river and the mountains with no room to deploy. The sight was superb. In many cases the Greeks fought wit the courage of despair. Great blac masses forming the rear guard to hold the bridge, covered the whole rich green plain, and the endurance and dash of the Turks were magni- ficent, too. I reached the battlefield with a regiment whose men immeâ€" diately began to run forward, danc- ing under fire, and shouting like chil- dren when they saw the enemy. The Greeks repulsed them vigorously, and followed up the re ulse. ~ _ "The Turks had ormed in a semi- circle of thundering batteries and crackling battalions. The division on the extreme right tried to cut off the retreat to Domokost while the re- mainder of the force flung itself upon Pharsalos. The battle was but little like the battles described in books. There Was no firing of volleys. no bayonet assault, no rush, no cheering, but only a steady, leisurely advance into open in perfect order. There was some individual firing, and the soldiers shouted, “‘Allah, Allah,” Dill the constant repetition swelled into one heavy. monotonous shout, like the 'hear,hear,’ of the House of Com- mons. I saw some men suddenly fling up their hands and fall face downa wards. but the Greek fire in the'main Was ineffective. Before five o‘clock the last village north of the river ha. been taken. Then the village of Vasil and the entrenohments near the river were stormed {with considerable loss to the Turkst and the battle ceased. At nightfall the flanking division es- tablished itself behinrlthe Greeks, and cut. off the best line of retreat to Athens.” TO PROTECT THE DYNASTY. A despatch from Berlin says it is re- ported there that the powers have de- cidetd to land their troops. at Athens to protect. the dynasty, Greece halvin declined the proffered mediation, an [Turkey being Willing to negotiate on easy terms if Crete is evacuated by the Greeks. LORD S’ALISB-URX'S VIEWS. Al the. annual meeting of the Primâ€" rose League, the Marquis of Salisbury. discussing the Grewâ€"Turkish question. saidzâ€"“The main object of the Euâ€" ropean concert was to prevent :1 .Euâ€" ropean war." adding that the belief prevailed that. all danger of such a. war was finally dissipated, and the peace of Europe, apart from the local conflict, had been placed on a better .liasis. and 'had better hope in its fuâ€" ture, than ever before. He}- Majes- ty‘s Government. the Premier also said, would do its best to end the bloodshed. In his concludin reference to the war, the Marquis 0 Salisbury saidzâ€"“The opening of the Eastern .question was greatly dreaded. but. it has now come like a nightmare. There has beenrgreat. terror that any out- break in. the southâ€"east of Europe might lead to a general blaze, but it is “to be hoped that the danger is past. and that We may look clamly on the larger interests involved. It may be exhibited proofs of strength which few suspected. (and perhaps a better future is open to the dominions of the Sultan.
