AN AUSTRIAN STEAMER CAPTURED. FURTHER PARTICULARS OF TOE RECENT BATTLE. THE LARISSA PANIC REPEATED THE PORTE WILLING TO RECONSIDER ITS DEMANDS. THE POWERS OPPOSE THE SULTAN'S TERMS. (l'er P/r.ss Association—Copyright). Athens, May 20. A Greek torpedo vessel captured an Austrian Lloyd's steamer bound for Yolo. Seventy-two Turkish seamen and the newly-appointed Turkish Governor on board the steamer were taken to Skiathos. Further particulars of the battle at Domoku show that the forces under Edhetn Pasha numbered 50,000. Ten batteries covered the advance of the infantry upon the Greek lines. The commander of the Greek right wing, seeing bis division in danger, asked for reinforcements, and 8000 men were sent, but were useless against the overwhelming Turkish forces, and it was found impossible to protect the flanks. The defeat at Domoku gave rise to a panic, and the residents lied with what they could carry. The scene was similar to that at Larissa. The arrival of forces "under Colonel Smolenitz, however, restored order. Constantinople, May 20. The Porte is willing to discuss and possibly modify its demands for the war indemnity and the transfer of Thessalay, but declines to withdraw the demand for the abolition of Greek capitulations. The Powers are resolutely opposing the cession of Thessally, as well as the claim for excessive indemnity and the other demands made by the Porte. The Czar has thanked the Sultan for ordering the suspension of fighting. The attitude of Russia has produced a marked impression on the Porte.

Do your eyes fill up with water, Is your nose running red, Do you feel the goose flesh growing, Do you sneeze 'twixt each word said, Do you feel bunged up all over, Is your temperature high, Do you cough from getting up time Till its time to go to bye-bye '? If these are but just your symptoms, You may be sure as sure, You only want a dose or two of Woods' Wonderful Great Peppermint Cure.-—Advx.
