London April 10. g p. m.-Gen. smolenitz,
ex-minister of war, is in command of 1900
j Greeks at Reveni not far from Tyrnavos,
4 northwest of Larissa. AT this point Edhem
4 Pasha, closely pressed, was nearly taken
4 prisoner. His plan was to force the pass of
d Reveni to enter the plain of Larissa, to
cut off the retreat of the Greek army with
his cavalry and dthus to take Larissa with
out resistance. But this plan was defeated.
Gen. Demopoulos. at the head of one
3 Greek division, forced the Turkish line al
Boughazi. close to Tynavo and Gen. Nav
romochate broke through at Koniskos.
The two generals united their troops near
Damasi
The news of this success at Reveni and
of the imminent fall of Prevesa has
$ changed the dismay caused at Athens by
the loss of Milouna into the widest re-
joieng. The latest advices tonight are
that the Greek troops are advancing to
reoeuppy their positions at Milouna and
at Gritzovali, the latter of which, it is
alleged, was abandoned owing to a misun-
derstanding by the general in command.
who interpreted as an order of retreat
what was really intended as an order to
advance.
Capt. Tagarde. who was wounded at
GHtzovah, shot himself in order to avoid
aling into the hands of the Turks. The
5Feeks report that the Turks lost 1000
lled and wounded at Reveni, but this
stmate is probably excessive. The Greek
agineers constructed a bridge across the
e. Ner at Pachyskalos to enable their
loops to cross. 1t is stated that the
Arkish forces attacking Reveni number
more than 10000 men.
London, April 20. l a. ma dispatch to
ne Daily Chronicle from Athens. dated
adnight, says: "Gen. smolenitz, in COM
land of the Greeks at Reveni, has push
Edham Pasha toward Damasi. The
aspense here is extreme. Everybody is

nave occupied several strategic positions
around Damalsi, including Viglia. Three
