to shell the town of Tyrnavo. All the
roads leading to Larissa are crowded

ATHENS, April O-(MidnighD--
News has just reach here that the
Greeks, after a desperate battle, have
captured and burned DamaSi Viglia
is still resisting. Another division of
the Greek troops, it is reported, has
traversed the Revena pass and cap
tured three block houses. This divis-
ion has almost reached Damasi, where
il will effect a union with the force
that captured the town. The 10000
troops under Gen. Smolenitz displaye /
the greatest bravery. ReVena lies
twelve miles northwest of Larissa. Ed
hem Pasha, with a force variously es-
timated at from 10000 to $4,000 troops,
led seven assaults against it yesterday,
but all were repulsed by the Greeks
Crown Prince Constantine has tele-
graphed here that the Turks at that
point were completely and finally re-
pulsed.
In Athens greater attention has been
paid to the operations in the neigh
borhood Of Revena than to those al
MlIOund P2SS. Inc theory all along
has been that, if the Greeks could es-
tablish themselves at Damasi, their
road would lie open to Elassona.
The exact situation at Tyrnavo is
somewhat in doubt. The news from
that point is conflicting. But thera
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 or
der to send troops forward to Revena,
and was then reoccupied by troops
returning from Milouna.
LONDON, April 20.-The latest details
as to the fighting at Milouna pass make
severely, because of their lack of artil-
lery. Several Of the war correspon-
dents aver that if the Greeks had pos
sessed anything like adequate artillery,
the Turks would never have captured
positions so obstinately held by the
Greeks. The Turks have clearly much
to be thankful for in the years of or
ganization of their artillery by German
officers.
A dispatch to the Daily Chronicle
from Athens, says that the Turkish
feet has just left the Dardanelles.

ramparts with shouts, of triumph. The
Greeks waited their approach until
the Turks were within thirty yards
before Withdrawing. In this assault
the Turks had only sixteen men killed
and seventeen wounded Everywhere
was to be seen the effect of the Turk
ish artillery, their terrible shells burst
ing Just at the calculated moments.
The Greeks, on the other hand, APP
peared to be lacking in artillery.
The Greeks attempted to reply to
the Turkish artillery, but were forced
to retire. The correspondent saw
numberless Greek bodies stripped OF
their uniforms by the Greeks, leaving
only their shirts and drawers on. Most
of the dead however, were carried
off by the Turks, who raised the
corpses Of the Greeks reverently and
placed them beneath the shade trees.
The Turkish losses in the fighting of
yesterday were only fifty killed and
$50 wounded.
The Turkish artillery this afternoon
began cannonading Tyrnayo, the
Greek town to the northwest of Laris-
sa, and only about ten miles from the
Greek headquarters, the Greeks having
fallen back upon Tyrnavo. The Whole
chain of mountains from TchaissZa to
the Milouna Pass is now in possession
Of the Turks. The last brush on the
hills was very brief. the Greeks MAX
ing but little resistance The Turks
have captured several prisoners, in

dash of the Turks is irresistible.
The situation at present is that the
Turks have possession of all the COM
manding heights between their head
quarters and the Greek headquarters

Tyrnavo, which is now. commanded by
the Turkish batteries, The Turks to-
night are camping In: the tents the
Greeks left on the plain Of Thessaly,

day only had six men killed and ten

The death of Hafiz Pasha, the Turk
1sh commander, who was killed in the
lighting which took place in the
Milouna Pass on Saturday, is greatly
lamented. He was eighty years OF
age and while advancing at the head
of his troops, was urged to dismount
and rest The old Pasha replied: Dur
ing the Russian war I never d Mount

Soon afterwards Hafiz Pasha was
wounded in the arm, but he still re-
manned in the saddle Later a second
bullet struck him on the hand, but

calamity at Milouna. If The Greek

is expected, there is almost nothing in
the way of their prompt advance TO

hands of Edhem Pasha, and the Turk
isb 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

This seems to have been the object Of
Greek strategy.

most serious disadvantage The stIt-
tegic value of Prevesa to the r4rl ish
division in Albania is that, so long as
it remains in the hands of the Turks.
it makes possible a steady line of
munitions and food supplies. With Pre-
Vesa in the hands of the Greeks, this
line would be promptly cut.
1t is stated here in we'll informed
circles that the Eastern squadron of
the Greek fleet, which will shortly be
reinforced by the ironclad Spetezia, is
planning an important movement
This is probably directed against
Salon1ca. If this is made with dis
patch, 1t is quite possible that the
Greek ships could reach the gulf and
shell the town of Salonica before the
Aegean squadron Of the Turkish fleet
could intervene. The object of such a
commandment would be to cut off the
Macedonian line of supplies to Edhem
Pasha's camp at Elassona Should the
Greek troops advance from Damasi
to Elassona the line of Turkish sun
plies could be cut at that point and
render the naval movement unneces-
sary. And 1T is possible that the bril-
liant success at Damasi will cause a
modification in the sea programme of
the Greeks.
Taking a general survey of the field
tonight the fortunes of war thus far

chances for the immediate future are
decidedly in favor of the Greeks
