Greek Success at Arta.
Contantinople, April 21.-The setting
OF the military commission has been con-
tinuous since yesterday at the Yildi
Kiosk. 1t is reported that Edhem Pasha
has asked for 0,000 reinforcements and
that orders bave been sent to Salonica, to
hasten the despatch of the reaarves to the
frontier. The mobilization of forty add1-
tiOnal battalions has been decided upon.
and the enrolment Of volunteers is being
considered.
The sturdy resistance offered by the
Greeks WAS wholly unexpected; and the
idea that the forces Of Edhem Pasha
would have military promenade to La
rissa has already been abandoned. Tele-
grams received by the Porte from the far
western provinces show that the AL
banians regulars are devastating the
country in many localities. and especial
ly along the line Of the route between
Prevosa and Janina. The local authori-
ties are powerless to restrain them.
An imperial rade has been issued or

at sea and to remain under the protection

WITH DESPERATE BRAVERY.
Greeks Holding Reveni and Nizeros
Passes Against Turks.

Larissa, April 21.-The seriously
planned battle commenced today. Early
his morning Edhem Pashe's advance
guard, under Generals Msviomichai and
Macris advanced against the Greeks in
force from Reveni, Boughai and Stelias.
The fighting was greatly extended and
the battle ragged till late this afternoon
with varying fortune. The Greek were
assisted by thousands of citizens, who
harrassed the Turkish outposts and
wings, as well as participated in the
general engagement. The Turks had an
overwhelming superiority in numbers.
They had constructed earthwoIks and
trenches everywhere, and in and behind
these nwaitad the attacks of the Greeks.
On the whole, they cluna tenaciously to
their dsfences. while the Greeks attacked
those again and again with the most
desperate bravery.
In spite of the furious attacks still
mada upon them the Greeks continue to
hold the Reveni and Nezeros passes.
At three o'clock this afternoon it is
practically a drawn battle.
