Athens, March THE surrender ot
Janina was preceded by a fierce bonn
bardment, lasting without cessation
for two days and t3o nights. Every
available gun. including number Of
heavy howitzers lent by the Servian
artillery, was brought to bear on the
forts defending the beleaguered city.
No fewer than 10000 shells were
fired by the Greek guns during the
first day Gradually the Turkish bat
teries at Bisani, Sakni and elsewhere
were si1enced.
The Greek commander, by a feint,
led the Turks to believe that their at
tack would be made from the right.
AS soon as the attention of the de-
tenders had been distracted the Greeks
hurled large bodies of infantry against
the Turkish left.
The Ottoman troops, utterly sur
prised, fell back in disorder.
:: Batteries Are SiIenced.
The batteries on the heights of Bis
ami, the mainstay of the defense, had
been unable to stand the pelting OF
the shells and were reduced to COM
plete silence.
The Greeks pushed their forward
movement and occupied the Turkish
batteries on the Sakni and Elias hills,
capturing all the guns and 10 artil-
lerymen. Then the Greek battalions
deployed on to the plain In
front Of the city itself.

came general, despite all the efforts OF
