The Turks have recaptured Pente Pigadia, one of the strongest and most rugged passes on the western frontier leading to Albania. The position is of great strategical importance to the Greeks in their contemplated march from Arta to Janina.

A great panic prevails at Volo, where 10,000 Greek refugees are congregated. Ships are being sent from Athens to convey the women and children to a place of safety. Troops have been gent from Monastir to quell the mutiny amongst the Albanian troops at Janina. London, April 26. The Daily Chronicle has started a fund in aid of the Greek wounded. Fifteen hundred pounds have already been subscribed.
