SUMMIT OF THE MILOUNA PASS.
April 20.-The Turkish victory of yes

plete The Greeks retired to the plain
of Thessaly, leaving only a rear guard
on hill from which. it was driven
later by four battalions of Turkish
infantry. The Turks pulled up to the
top of the hill three mountain bat
teries. singing, laughing and weeping
with joy, like children. One battery
opened fire upon the Greeks who were
retreating on the Plain Of Traves
and did terrible execution. The cor
respondent of the Associated Press saw
some Of the Turkish shells burst in
the middle of serried battalion of

to shell the town of Tyrnavo. All the
roads leading to Larissa are crowded
with fugitives, shouting: Don't try
conclusions with the Turks" The
Greek villages in the plains are COM
pletely deserted.
ATHENS, April -(Midnight).--
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
it will effect a union with the force
that captured the town. The 10000
troops under Gen. Smolenitz displayed 1
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
has been that, if the Greeks could es-
tablish themselves at Damasi their
road would lie open to EIassona.
The exact situation at Tyrnavo is
somewhat in doubt 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 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
it evident that the Greeks suffered
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.
MILOUNA PASS, April 20 (norn-
ing).-Active preparations for a general
advance have been in progress since

height near Tyrnavo, opposite the po-

troops at Milouna pass. This SUCCESS
and the fact that the fall of 2revesa
seems imminent 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 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
grand divisions of the Greek army.
This seems to have been the object of
Greek strategy.
Should the Greeks succeed in re-
ducing the forts at Prevesa. as now
seems probable and occupy the lawn
with the large land force co-cpcrlti la
with tho bombarding warshp3, the
road to Janina would be open. ana 1he

most serious disadvantage The stu
tegic value of Prevesa to the .rLis
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
PIanmng an important movement
This is probably directed against
Salonica. If this is made with dis
patch. 1t is quite possible that the
creek 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 Damasf
to Elassona the line of Turkish sum-
plies could be cut at that point and
render the naval movement unneces-
sary. And it is possible that the brill
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
are pretty evenly divided, but the
chances for the immediate future are
decidedly in favor of the Greeks.

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, ap-
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 or
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 MIOuna 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
Guiding an Italian volunteer The
dash of the Turks is irresistible.
The situation at present is that the
Turks have possession of all the COM
mandlng heights between their head
quarters and the Greek headquarters
at Larissa, with the exception Of
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,
near the Milouna Pass The Turks to-
day only had six men killed and ten
wounded.
The death of Hafiz Pasha, the Turk
ish 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 q Mount
ed, and why should l do so now?"
Soon afterwards Hafz Pasha was
wounded in the arm, but he still re-
mained in the saddle Later a second
bullet struck him on the hand, but
yet the old warrior refused to retire.

TERRIBLE TALE OF WOE.
1t Comes From the Flooded Portion

NATCHEZ, Miss, April 20.-A terrible
tale of woe comes from Bayou Videl,
in the lower portion of Madison parish.
The water from the Biggs' crevasse
caught the people there unprepared and
unaware of danger. Word was sent
out from that locality requesting that
boats be sent there at once, as the peo-
pie were drowning. How many were
actually drowned is unknown, but
Thomas Blackman, his wife and infant
are known to have been drowned, and
Z. P. Kells came near losing his
life in attempting to save them. 1t
is believed others have perished. Boats
have been sent to the fated locality
VICKSBURG, Miss, April 90
Thanks to the prompt measures taken
by Mai Willard, United States engi-
neer, in disI atching the steamer V.dette
with skiffs, to the country back Of
Coons Landing, it is believed that all
persons in danger will be relieved in
time. The Florence, returning from
there this morning, reported no cases Of
drowning in the back country, though
there is unquestionably great danger
and the loss of stock is believed to be
heavy.

beat him back in that engagement, and then
Osman retired to Pleyna and intrenched
