MILOUNA PASS, April 20 (Morning)
Active preparations for a general adj
vance have been in progress since
daybreak During the night the
Greeks established themselves on
the last hight near Tyrnavo,
opposite the position which the
Turks captured last evening. Nechal
Pasha opend the attack upon this posi-
ton this morning with brisk firing
from behind the defenses. The combat
ants have not yet come in close quar-
tiers. The Greeks brought UP several
pieces of artillery, which were speedily
silenced.
The Greeks are now concentrated near
Tyrnavo, whether in great strength or
not is not known here. Greek reinforce
ments have been seen crossing the plain
in the direction of Tyrnavo. Three bat
teries of Turkish artillery have arrived
from Monastir. Grunkoff Pasha is now
with the Turkish troops.
Evening-The Turks have just COM
menced to shell the town of Tyrnavo.
All the roads leading to Larissa are
crowded with fugitives shouting Re
serves. don't try conclusions with the
Turks
The Greek villages in the plain are
completely deserted.
GREEKS CAPTURE DAMASI.
ATHENS. April 20.-(Andnight)-
News has just been received here that
the Greeks after a desperate battle have
captured and burned Damasi. Vigla
is still resisting Another division of
the Greek troops, it is reported, has
traversed the Reveni Pass and cap
tured three blockhouses. This divis-
ion has almost reached Damasi. where
it will effect a union with the force that
captured the town. The 10000 troops
under General Smolenitz displayed
the greatest bravery.
Reveni lies twelve miles northwest OF
Larissa Edhem Pasha, with a force
variously estimated at from 10000 to
1900 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 beer
paid to the operations in the neighbor-
hood of Reveni than to those at Milou-
ma Pass. The theory all along has beer
that if the Greeks could establish them
selves at Damasi. their road would liz
open to Elassona-
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 order t.
send troops forward to Reveni, and was
then reoccupied by troops returning
from MilCuna-
April 2t-1 a. m.-The report of the
capture of Damasi by the Greeks under
General Smolenitz is confirmed by Off
oiaI dispatches. official dispatche.
report also that further heavy breaches
have been made in the Turkish fort:
at Prevesa~ The bombardment ceased
at nightfall but will be resumed thl.
morning wednesday,.
The irouclad Spetzia has left the Gull
of Arta to join the eastern squadron
which it is said has an important miss
ion.
NEW COMPLEXION PUT ON TIKI
SITUATION.
ATHENS. April 21.-The news of TIT
capture of Dawasi puts new complex
ion upon the situation on the frontier
is a great encouragement to the Gov
eminent. and is likely to have the mos
exhilarating effect upon the spirits o
the Greeks, who had been greatly de
pressed by the reverses of their troop
at Mlouna Pass. This success, am
the fact that the fall of Prevesa seem
imminent. virtually offsets the calamit.
OF Milouna.
If the Greek divisions effect a union a
Damasi, as is expected. there is al
most nothing in the way of their promp
advance to Eiassona. If Tyrnavo fall
into the hands of Edhem Pasha, an
the Turkish troops sweep down upon tn
plain and advance to Larissa to NEE
the force collected there under tn
Crown Prince. they will be between tw
grand divisions of the Greek army. Thi
seems to have been the object of Gree
strategy.
