There was no pulse, the body was cold and

Injection, applied hot hollies to tho victim's

Conditions Uron Which the Sultan Will
Accept an Armlitlce.
WANTS TO ANNEX THESSALY !
And in Addition the BtfMttd a reeks Xatt
Fay an Indemnity of $10,000,000.
The Powers Will Probably
Oppose Any Extension
of Territory.
Constantinople, May 17. The porta
has replied officially to the note of the
power, and declines to agree to an ar
mistice until the following conditions
are accepted: The annexation of Thea
saty, an indemnity of 10,000,000, Turk
ish, and the abolition of the capitula
tions. The porte proposes that pleni
potentiaries of the powers should meet
at Pharsalos to discuss the terms of
peace, and declares that If these con
ditions are declined the Turkish army
will continue to advance.
The demand for the annexation ol
Thessaly la based upon the fact that
the province was originally ceded to
Greece on the advloe of the powers,
with the object of ending brigandage
and Greek Incursions Into Ottoman ter
ritory. The porte believed at the time
that the cession would attain these ob
Jecth, but the recent Incursions of
Greek bands and the events Immedi
ately preceding the war have proved
to the contrary. This Is the substanco
of the reply.
The porte's reply demands. In Its con
cluding paragraph, an extradition
EDIIEM PASHA.
treaty with Greece, and that the ports
cf Volo nnd Prevesa be kept open for
vessels carrying food supplies to tho
Turkish troops.
The ambassadors met yesterday to
consider the ' porte's answer, which Is
recarded as raisins an extremely ftrave
Issue. It Is believed that representa
tions will be made the sultan person
ally to Induce a modification of theso
terms, but it Is foreseen that this will
be very difficult, owinj; to tho atti
tude of the powerful old Turk war
party. If the porte should prove ob
durate an European conference Is not
improbable, although at present Rus
sia Is opposed to this.
Germany is urging: the sultan to in
sist upon the European control of
Greek finances as the only means ot
securing: the payment of aij Indemnity.
Representatives of the Deutsche bank
will arrive next Saturday to realize In
the promise of Important concessions
which the sultan has made to the bank.
It Ib regarded as quite certain that
the powers will not consent to a retro
cession of Thessaly. TCven Germany Is
believed to be resolute on this point,
because It would Involve a violation of
the Berlin treaty and Imperil the peace
of the Balkans.
Altogether the reply of the porte has
caused the trreateBt surprise. It ap
pears that during- the discussion of the
note from the powers by the council
of the sultan's ministers news reached
the council that 3,000 Greeks had land
ed at Palona and were marchlnig to
Janlna with the Intention of co-operating-
with other forces from Arta.
This created a bad impression among
the ministers.
The sultan has ordered a distribution
of troops at varloUB points -along the
Salonlca railway. Official dispatches
have been received from the command
ant at Janlna, who says that the
Gieek forces, approaching the town by
a narrow gorge from the direction of
Gremenltza, charged the heights of
Grlboro and ICokonaria, but suffered
heavily, losing; 200 killed, while on the
other side the Greeks were driven back
upon Paraskevl. The commandant
states also that fighting has occurred
at Kumuzades. No further letalls are
given, except that all these battles
lasted until evening, and that the Im
perial trooftn retained their position,
with the probability that the Greeks
will be reinforced and the fighting re
newed. No statement is made as to
the Turkish losses.
The Turkish commander at Luroa
telegraphs under Saturday's date as
follows: The outoome of a desperate
battle lasting two days against a force
of 15,000 Greeks Is that the latter have
abandoned the position on the heights
they had previously captured, and have
withdrawn to the olive groves of Gre
menltaa, Edhem Pasha's plans for the capture
of Domokos are being rapidly perfect
ed. Reinforcements are arriving, and
all the Greek positions are carefully
watched. The bad condition of the
roads and the heay rains delay opera
tions for which the Turkish ofHoera
are anxiously waiting, but a general
advance began at dawn yesterday.
A number of Greek deserters -who
have been captured say that 26,000
Greeks are behind the fortifications
and intrenchments at Domokos, hut
that the whole organization le rotten
and the medical and transport services
have completely collapsed. They say
mat for at hours the only ration was
