| Athens in the Cur of Salonica. On
board were insurgents and members OF
various secret societies. A general
panic prevails here. All vessels are
prohibited from leaving the Gulf. The
Turks have seized the Greek steamer
KephaleiOn.
London, April pa dispatch to the
Daily Chronicle from Athens dated
midnight, says General Smolenitz, lin
command of the Greeks at Revem Has
pushed Edhem Pasha towards Damasl.
The suspense here is extreme. Every
body is waiting for the list of killed
anu wounded Patriotic bankers and
others have offered the government over
a million pounds.
Athens, April 2O.-1 a. m.-::rhe
Greeks have occupied several strategic
positions around Damasi, including
Viglia. Three thousand armed Peas
ants have joined the troops. 1t is al
legged that $4,000 Turks attacked; Re
yeni.
1t is feared that a massacre has taken
place at Prevesa during the lombard
| ment.
The situation on the frontier has not,
according to the latest advlces, Deen
materially modified to-day. Both the
Turks and the Greeks are resting from
Inc tremendous eXertions of Friday,
Saturday and Sunday. The troops OF
Fdhem Pasha were half dead With Ia
tigue and hunger when the firing slack
ened last night. Most of them flung
themselves down where they stood on
the ground to sleep. The Turkish com
mander-in-chief prudently declhed TO
allow his army to rest to-day.
AS details come in 1t becomes more
and more apparent that the hgRlng III
Milouna Pass was of the most sglDDorh
and savage character. The turks
fought like devils and the Greeks re-
sisted in the spirit of their ancestors
The most inexplicable fact in .connec-
tion with the whole engagement Is the
comparatively small number OF killed.
All the special correspondents agree TO
This The Turkish losses at Arta are
believed TO have been very heavy On
the Greek side there was not man
killed. .,:.;4a Nv
