GREECE
The Situation Is Unchanged.
The Taking of Prevesa Nearly Ac
complished.
London, April 20. The situation
on the frontier has not, according to
latest advices, been materially modi
fied. Both the Turks and the Greeks
are resting from the tremendous exer
tions of Friday, Saturday and Sun
day. The troops of Edhem Pasha
were half dead with fatigue and hun
ger when the firing Blackened last
night. Most of them flung themselves
down where they stood, on the ground,
to sleep. The Turkish commander-in-chief
prudently decided to allow his
army to rest today.
As details come in, it becomes more
and more apparent that the fighting
in Milouna pass was of the most stub
born and Ravage character. Tho Turks
fought like devils, and the Greeks re
sisted In the spirit of their ancestors.
The most inexplicable fact in connec
tion with tho whole engagement Is
the comparatively small number of
killed. All the special correspond
ents agree as to this.
The Turks appeared to have fired as
wildly with their rifles at Milouna
pass as they did at Arta, where fight
ing consisted of an"artillery duel be
tween the rival batteries on each side
of the river, lasting about four hours
In the afternoon. There they fired
only one out of five with any effect,
and their batteries were soon silenced
by the Greeks whose marksmanship
was very much superior. The Turk
ish losses at Arta are believed to have
been very heavy. On the Greek side,
there was not a man killed.
General Smollnltz, ex-minister of
war, Is in command of 14,000 Greeks
at Eevenl, not far from Tyrnavoes,
northwest of Larlssa. At this point
iUiiem j.jasua, cioseiy pressed, was
nearly taken prisoner. His plan was
to force the pass of Revenl, to enter
the plain of Larissa.and to cut off the
retreat of the Greek army with his
cavalry and thus take Larlssa with
out resistance. But this plan was de
feated. General Demopoulos, at the
head of one Greek division, forced the
Turkish line at Boughaiz, close to
Tyrnavos and General Mavromochale
broke through at Kontskos. Tho two
generals united their troops near
Damazl.
The news of this success at Eevenl,
and of the imminent fall of Preyesa
has changed tho alarm caused at
Athens at theloss of Milouna Into the
wildest rejoicing. The latest advices
are that the Greek troops are advanc
ing to reoccupy tho positions at Mi
louna and Grltzovall, the latter of
which, it is alleged, was abandoned,
owing to a misunderstanding by the
general in command, who interpreted
as an order to retreat what was really
Intended as an order to advance,
Captain Tagardo, who was wounded
at Grltzovall, shot himself in order to
avoid falling Into tho hands of the
Turks. The Greeks report that the
Turks lost 7000 killed and wounded
at Reveni, but this estimate is rob
ably excessive. The Greek engineers
constructed a bridge at Pachyskalos,
to enable their troops to cross the
river. It Is said the Turkish forces

BOMBARDMENT OF PREVESA.
Athens, April 20, While the Inci
dents of the day along tholcastcrn
portion of the frontier have not been
of notable importance, the situation
at the Gulf of Arta and in thd vicin
ity of tho Albania frontier hasbecomo
more favorable for the Greeks. The
bombardment of Prevesa was resumed
at daybreak, with but feeble '.replies
from tho Turkish batteries atjllarui
dleh and Panctocratores. The posi
tion of the Turks is untenable,' and It
Is believed the town will fall into the
hands of the large Greek force .'in the
vicinity, which Is waiting for the de
molition of tho remaining batretles.
The Greek battle-ship Shelfia has
taken the lead In tho bombaratueut.
By an order received at Prevesa
from Constantinople, tho Gulf or Arta
was officially closed to all but Turk
fall ships. 1
Colonel Manns, with 25,000 men,
haying crossed the Arkphos under the
protection of the Greek artillery bat
teries, Is now In Eplrus, where It Is
believed, his force Is considerably in
excess of the Turkish force. '
It Is reported here that a large body
of Albanians, estimated at upward of
2,000, who had crossed the Greek
frontier with the avowed Intention of
pushing on to Larlssa.have re-crossed,
and are now ravaging Eplrus. ,
Arta Is practically deserted. The
mayor transferred the public offices
and official records to Konlpoto.
The Greeks have occupied several
strategctlc positions around Damasl,
Including VIglla. Three thousand
armed peasants have joined the troops.
It is alleged that 22,000 Turks at
tacked ltQt'enl.
It is feared that a massacre has taken
place at Prevesa during the bombard
ment.
A dispatch from Greek headquart
ers say three important positions were
occuplednear Menexa by tho Greek
troops
Prince Nicholas, of Greece, third
son of King George, has been ordered
to the front In com mand of a battory
of artillery.
A body of 700 Greek insurgents
landed at Syrako Eplrus, and Is now
marching on Fllllpldau. Numerous
other bands of Grcekj-fhsurgents have
entered Eplrus.
Dispatches from Tyrnavos say that
the fight In the vicinity of Reveni
andRougaz lasted throughout Sun
day. Tho Greeks captured two Turk
ish posts, one of which was retaken
later by tho Turks. The fighting was
of a desperate character, hand-to-hand
and tho Greeks are reported to
have advanced into Damazl plain and
occupied VIglla, which commands it,
after capturing a battery of Turkish
artillery.
A still later dispatch from Grltzo
vall admits that the Turks have re
captured that place. In the second
engagement at Grltzovall, a Greek
brlgado commanded by General Mas
tropas was able to reform after giving
way under command of General Mln
epoulos, and Is hurrying to reinforce
General Mastrapas.
AT JANINA.
London, April 20. A dispatch to
tho Times from Elassona 6ays that
tho flghtlhg began at Janlna on Sun
day morning. There Is no confirma
tion of the rumor that 13,000 Turks
have occupied the fort atPentepcgado,
on the road from Arta to Janlna.
TrtOOl'S gone to janina.
Athens, April 20. A telegram re
ceived from Arta says the troops havo
left that point for Janlna. The sea
of Prevesa Is very rough. The firing
there was,desultory.
TDItKS KOUTEP,
Rome, April 20. A dispatch to the
Messagero from Arta says the re
maining Turkish fort at Prevesa hag
been destroyed by tho firo on ttho
Greek warships and the position of
tho Turks is untenable. Four
thousand Greeks, tho dispatch adds,
have been landed for the. purpose pf
occupying Prevesa.
A second dispatch to the same paper
attacking Revcnl
j
. announces that 2000
Albanians, who
started Into Greece with the ex
pressed intention of reaching Larlssa,
have rccrossed the frontier, and are
now ravaging Eplrus.
TAKING THE PASS.
Headquarters Turkish Army, Elas
sona, Macedonia, April 20. Evening.
(Copyright, 18D7, by tho Associated
Press ) Delayed In transmission.
The Turkish forces, as this dispatch
Is being forwarded, arc holding their
positions In Milouna pass. During
the sovero lighting which began re
cently, the Greeks and Turks alike
fought and behaved in a most ad
mirable manner. Turkish reports
Just received say tho whole of Milouna
pass is now In 1 osscsslon of the Turke,
who carry two Greek blockhouses at
the point of the bayonet.
Later Information was received
from tho front that the Turks had oc
cupied tho whole- extent of Milouna
pass and all the commanding heights
from Meckcho to Papaly vada, .as well
r-
as all tho defiles. The Turkish losses
thus far are reported to bo slight 30
killed and 50 wounded. Tho corres
pondent of the Associated Press
counted 100 Greek corpses on n hill
opposite tho Turkish position.
-The Turks declare tho Greeks were
drunk during the fighting, being con
stantly supplied with liquor.
Kenan Bey has returned from
Karya, where lighting was being con
tinued when he left there. The
Turkish loss at that place wtas ,200
Kenan Bey says he counted nearly
lOQOdead Greeks.
Tho town of Elassona was deserted
by Its inhabitant, who fled north
ward and towards Salonica, fearing
that the fighting between tho Turks
and Greeks will extend to this place.
After a most fatiguing day with tho
headquarters staff in the Milouna
pass, the correspondent or tho Associ
ated Press has returned here. Tho
batale was rsultcd In giving the Turks
possesion of Milouna pass. The
whole pass rang with tho roar of ar
tillery and the rattle of musketry. It
was, however, around tho Greek block
houses that ehc most furious conflict
occurcd.
