Athens, April 21. Midnight News has just readied here that the Greeks; after a desperate battle, have captured Damasi. Vigil Is still re sisting. Another division of Greek troops, It is reported, has traversed the Royenl pass and captured three blockhouses. This division has al most reached Damasi, where It will effect a union with the force that captured the town. The 20,000 troops under General Smollnltz displayed the greatest brav ery. Rcvenl lies 12 miles northwest of Larlssa. Edhem Pasha, with a force variously estimated at from 10,000 to 14,000 troops, led seven assaults against It yesterday, but all were re pulsed by the Greeks. Crown Prince Constantine has telegraphed hero that the Turks at that point were com pletely and finally repulsed. In Athens greater attention has been paid to the operations in tho neighborhood of Rcvenl than to those at Milouna pass. The theory all along has been that If the Greeks could establish themselves at Damasi, their road would lie open to Elassona. Tho exact situation at Tyrnavos Is somewhat in doubt. The news from that point is conflicting, but there Is no confirmation of the rumor that the place lias been captured by Turks. It seems that Trynavos was evacuated In order to send troops forward to RevenI, and was then reoccupled by troops returning from Milouna. UREEK STRATEGY . Athens, April 21. The news of the capture of Damasi puts a new com plexion on the situation on the fron tier. It is a great encouragement to the goyernment, and Is likely to have the most exhilarating effect upon the spirits of the Greeks, who had been greatly depressed by the reverses of their troops at Milouna pass. This success, and the fact that the fall of Provesa seems Imminent, virtually off sets the calamity of Milouna, If the Greek divisions effect a union at Damasi, as is expected, there Is al most nothing in the way of their prompt advance to Elassona. If Tyr navos falls into the hands of Edhem Pasha, and the Turkish troops sweep down upon the plain and advance to Larlssa to meet the force collected there under the crown prince, they will be between two grand divisions of the Greek army. This seems to have been the object of Greek strat egy. Should tho Greeks succeed in re ducing the forts at Provesa, as now seems probable, and occupy the town with the largo land force co-operating with the bombarding warships, the royal road to Janina will bo open, and the Turkish troops In Eplrus placed at the most serious disadvantage. The strategic value of Provesa to the Turkish division in Albania is that, so long as It remains In the hands of tho Turks, It makes possible a steady line of munitions and food supplies. With Prcvesa in the hands of tho Greeks, this line would be promptly cut, and It would bo pract ically Impossible to revicutal the Some people like apples better than pears; sorne people like Oolong tea better than English Break fast.

On the other hand, the Greek troons could be re vlctualed by sea. " It is stated here In well-informed circles that the eastern squadron of the Greek fleet will (shortly be rein forced by the Ironclad Speuia, and Is planning an Important movement. This Is practically directed against Salon lea. If this is made with dis patch, It Is quite possible tho Greek ships could reach 'the gulf and shell the town of Salonlcal before tho Ae gean squadron of the Turkish fleet could Interfere. Thc'objcot of such a bombardment would be to cut off the Mcccdonlan line of supplies to Edhem Pasha's camp at Elassona. Should tho Greek troops advance from Damasi to Elassona, the line of Turkish supplies could be cut at that point, and render the naval movement unnecessary. And it is possible that tho brilliant success at Damasi will cause a modification lu the sea program of the Greeks. Taking a general survey of the field the fortunes of war thus far are pretty evenly divided, but tho chances for the immediate futures are decidedly In fayor of the Greeks . SI1ELLINO TYRNAVOS. Miouna, Pass, April 21. The Turks have Just commenced to shell the town or Tyrnavos. All the roads leading to Larlssa are crowded with fugitives, sheuting: "Reserves! Don t try conclusions with the Turks!" Tho Greek villages In tho plain are completely deserted. CONFIRMED. Athens, April 21.-1 A. M. The re port of tho capture of Damasi by the Greeks under General Smollnltz is confirmed by official dispatches. The dispatches report also that fur ther heavy breaches have been made In tho Turkish forts at Prcvesa. The bombardment ceased at nightfall, but will bo rcsumad- this morning (Wed nesday). The ironclad Spetzla has left the Gulf of Arta to Join tho Eastern squadron, which, it is said, has an important mission. AT REVENI. Athens, April 21. Fighting bo tween Greeks and Turks was resumed In RevenI, not far from Tyrnayos, northwest of Larlssa. A big battle is in progress. The Turks attacked in still greater force, but the Greeks are making a stubborn resistance. GREEKS IN EHIRUS. Athens, April 21. A dispatch from Arta says that 3,000 Greeks have crossed tho frontier at BanI, and a se vere artillery duel has been In prog ress since Menday: Tho Greek artil lery has silenced tho Turkish Imuret fort commanding tho town. Two at tempts by the Turks to cross the river were repulsed. Thers has been brisk firing at Placea and a heavy Infantry fire along the line for about five miles. Two Greek officers and many Turks have been killed.' An official dispatch from Arta says that after crossing the Arachtbos, at Banl, the Greeks occupied tho villages or Ncokhorl and Saktilkal ama, where they strongly entrenched themselves. Cplodnl Mcnos Is now ad vancing northward in the direction of Paraskevi. Tho Greeks repulsed an attempt of tho Turks to cross tho bridge. A number of Greeks, Includ ibg several officers, were killed, and others wounded. It Is reported this morning that a Greek force, which was trying to bridge the river Arachtbos, In the frontier of Eplrus, has been driven off by Turks. It Is further stated the Greeks have advanced upon Arta and haye been bompardlng that place since 5 o'clocc yesterday eyenlng. The bombardment of Prcvesa, the Turkish position at the entrance of the Gulf of Arta was resumed at 0 o'clock yesterday morning by tho Greek forces on land and Bea. It Is reported the town will be reduced to ashes In tho course of a few days. The Greek squadron has left the Piraeus unaer bealed orders. Several merchantmen have been hastily armed and detachments of Greek troons have been hurried on board thorn.
