followed them and began a vigorous
| cannonading of the position. Tyrnavo' s
fall will make it next to impossible fo-
the Moslem advance upon the Greek mil
i,ary base at Larissa 10 be stopped.
Larissa is poorly fortified and it may be-
come necessary for the Greeks to parti-
I cipate pitched battle with the Turks on
the plains that lie between Larissa and
the Macedonian frontier. If such an
event occurs il will be the grea test nil
| itary struggle in the history of the war.

was light About 500 Turks were taken
prisoners at Vigla.
FIERCE FIGHT AT REVENI.
The Pass at Reveni, a few miles north
west Of Tyrnavo, where there was about
10000 Turks under the personal direction
of Edhem- Pasha, mas been the scene Of
the fiercest fight of the war. This horde
Of Moslems, singing and chanting war
songs, reached from Reveni to Bougheze,
and for the past three days have unre-
mittently endeavored 10 obtain a free
road 10 the Thessalian plains.
Twenty thousand Creeks, under the
direction of Prince Constantine. have as
steadily fought and struggled to keep
back the Mohammedan stream, and
have thus far succeeded.
ON THE GULF OF ARIA.
On the Gulf OF Aria, the Greeks are
having things pretty much their own
way. The Turks at Aria attempted TO
cross the Arakphos river, despite the
fire OF the Greek artillery. This was
magnificently handled, however, and the
Moslems were moved down by the score,
the river being literally filled with the
sultan's soldiers. Staggering under their
awful defeat, the Turks retreated.
Colonel Manos. in his invasion Of this
part of Epirus, has been very successful
He has occupied several villages with
but slight resistance, and hastily forti-
fled them. There is hardly any serious
obstacle to his advance northward into
Albania and toward Yanina, where a
great battle may be fought.
After retreating the Turks attempted
to successfully lombard Arta, using
nearly 100 pieces of artillery in the OPP
Grafton. But it failed, their marksman
ship being bad and the range too great.
The squadron of ironclads which left
the Piraeus under sealed orders is likely
TO strike some bold blow, though it is
generally believed that ii is bound for
Salonica, which 1t will lombard, and
where It is hoped 10 cut off the base Of
supplies of the army under Edhem Pa
sha.
The second squadron, composed OF
frigate, two corvettes, three armed
transports and one torpedo boat, has
left the Golden Horn. Other Turkish
vessels are still under the guns OF the
Dardenelles forts
THE LOCKOUT AT SALONICA.
London, April PA special dispatch
from Salonica announces that the port
officials there are viligantly looking out
for the Greek fleet, having been informed
that tha war vessels of Greece have been
ordered 20 make an attempt to seize that
city, which IS the base of Turkish sup
Greeks. The military authorities of Sa-
lonica have laid 80 torpedo mines in the
bay and further steps have been taken
to protect the narrow entrance of the
harOor, between Cape Kara and the |
mainland of Macedonia. Lookouts have |
been stationed on all the prominent head |
lands and points of vantage overlook |
ing the bay, with instructions TO imme- |
diately report the appearance of the |
Greek fleet, which is expected to make a |
demonstration against this place very |
shortly.
The harbor has been thoroughly mined, |
a number of torpedo boats have been
stationed in well selected places. The |
entrance Of the harbor, from Cape Kara
TO the mainland Of Macedonia, is strong
with torpedoes and large quantities of .
