ATHENS, April 21.-There was re.
newed fighting between the Turks and
Greeks in the Milouna Pass Monday.
It was Of the most severe description
but full details are not obtainable here.
The firing ceased at O'Clock in the
evening. The total Greek loss in the
various engagements in the Milouna
Pass is estimated here at 1000 killed
and wounded.
Over 200 wounded soldiers and Of.
ficers Of the Greek army have arrived

The losses Of the Turks are declared
to be much greater than those Of the
Greeks.
Prince Constantine has returned to
1ar1ssa from Grltzovali, where he wit.
messed some severe fighting. The Greek
reverse at that place was due to the
fact that General Mastropas. who is in
command of the Greek artillery, mis-
understood Prince Constantine's orders
and ordered q retreat of the Greek
forces. The Turks thereupon advanced
and soon occupied Gritzovali, pursuing
the retreating Greeks, killing few

EXHlLARATlNG NEWS.

Capture Of Damasi . Great Encourage
ment Tor Greece.
ATHENS, April 2l.-The news Of the
capture OF Damasi puts new complex
ion upon the situation on the frontier,
is a great encouragement to the gov.
eminent and is likely to have the most
exhilarating effect upon the spirits of
the Greeks, who had been greatly de-
pressed by the reverses of their troops
at Milouna pass. This success and the
fact that the fall Of Prevesa seems i'm.
minent virtually offsets the calamity at
Milouna. If the Greek divisions effect
union at Damasi, as is expected,
there is almost nothing in the way Of
their prompt advance to Elassona. If
Tyrnavo falls into the hands of Edhem
Pasha and the Turkish troops swoop
down upon the plain and advance to
Larissa to meet the force concentrated
there under the crown prince they will
be between two grand divisions of the
Greek army. This seems to have been
the object Of Greek strategy.
May B0mbard sslonica.
Il is stated here in well informed cir
cles that the Eastern squadron Of the
Greek feet, which will shortly be rein
forced by the ironclad Spetezia, was
planning an important movement.
This is probably directed against Sa-
lonica. If this is made with dispatch,
it is quite possible that the Greek ships
could reach the gulf and shell the town
of Salonica before the Aegean squad.
ron Of the Turkish feet could inter-
vene. The object Of such lombard
ment would be to cut off the Mace
donian line of supplies to Edhem
Pasha's camp at Elassona. Should the
Greek troops advance from Damasi to
Elassona the line Of Turkish supplies
could be cut at that point and render
the naval movement unnecessary.
Taking q general survey Of the field
the fortunes of war thus far are pretty
evenly divided, but the chances for the
immediate future are decidedly in "a
vor of the Greeks.

An Advantage to tho Greeks.


In Athens greater attention has been
paid to the operations in the neighbor.
hood of Reveni than to those at Mi.
louna pass. The theory all along has
been that if the Greeks could establish
themselves at Damasi their road would
lie open to Elassona.
The exact situation at Tyrnavo is
somewhat in dol5t. The news from
that point is conflicting. But there is
no confirmation Of the rumor that the
place has been captured by the Turks
What seems to have happened is that
Tyrnavo was evacuated in order to
send troops forward to Reveni and was
then reoccupied by troops returning
from MilOuna.
