ATHENS, May 28. Details of the -ghting at Gaba Tepion the 21st show that the Turks attacked at 3 o'clock m the morning and made desperate assaults m serried columns for twelve hours, when the Australians wer© able to signal: "Holding them easily." Then the Australians, and New Zoalandera drove back the enemy with the bayonets, pursming them m the open with great slaughter. Despito the loss of the battleships everyone is most confident, and optimism is increased - y the established fact ' that the Turoo-Germaais are short oi ammunition. Their shrapnel is loaded with pebbles, and shells with an inner casing .of wood are being used. . This was supplied by German contractors when the Kaiser was fraternising with Abdul Hamid. The Exchange Telegraph reports from Athens that Djavid Pasha, m consequence of the decision of the Young Turks, has gone to Berlin to announce that Turkey will conclude .. a separate peace.
