ATHENS, Feb. 19. ——An indication oi L‘w’hat may be expected in the way of as- s tanoe from Macedonia in any possible I fliot with the Turk is shown in the l eady accessions of Macedonians to the reek ranks. A for e of 1,000 Macedonian volunteers in one gody crossed the frontier and joined flag Greek army. :1 reply to the demand of the diplomats representing the great powers here that _. .530 the Greek flotilla commanded by Prince George be withdrawn from ,Cretan waters at ‘once, M. Skouses, minister of for- eign affairs, sent to each minister a note saying thé withdrawal of the :. flotilla will be impossible until Crete is complete- ly pacified, and, furthermore, that KING GEORGE the Greek govern- ment will not rescind its orders to the Greek forces in Crete to oppose the landing ”of Turkish troops‘ upon the island. I Colonel Vassos, commanding the Greek .military forces in Crete, has established Headquarters at Gonia and is making prep- ;ar tions to attack the town of Selina. E Epspite the action of the powers in re- fiyttl‘aning the Greek troops in Crete from . . grossly“; operations against the Turks and the probability that that island will eventually be handed over to Greece with- :Ohio the necessity of her fighting for its Ifiodlassion, the war feeling here is increas- ging hourly. The enthusiasm with which the reserves responded" to the call to arms has been fully equaled by the military ardor of vol- ,1 'nteers. who are. flocking into the city again all parts, eager to take part in battle I lgainst the Turk. . i . It is announced today that the king of Greece intends to take command of the northern army in person, and this report has had the effect to still further inflame the martial spirit of the people. Russia Expects War. LONDON, Feb. 19.—-Russia is evidently preparing for war. In addition to her forces now massed at Odessa and the Black Sea fleet, which is kept constantly ready for action. at that port, she has three war- ships cruising in the Black sea within an hour’s sail of the mouth of the Bosporus. Prince Nicholas of Greece has left Ath— ens for Larissa. He is in .command of.a regiment of artillery, which includes seven batteries of krupp guns. All the reserves who have been called out, numbering 16,- 000 men, have also been ordered north. The forces under PrincevNicholas, t0~ gether with the reserve re-enforcements, are believed to be sufficient for the protec- tion of the Grecian frontier. The moun- tain passes on the border are narrow and may be easily protected. The Turkish forces in Macedonia num- ber some 40,000 men, but they are in hos- tile territory, and in case of hostilities Macedonians, Bulgarians and Servians would certainly side with Greece. The exact position of the great powers with regard to the disturbance is still an uncertain quantity. The independence and absolute assurance which have marked all the movements of Greece compel the belief that she has the backing of some powerful ally. Russia is singled out as the power behind the scenes. The dowager czarina, it is reported, has telegraphed to her brother, King George of Greece, expressing her anxiety about the present situation and offering the assist- ance of Russia in case it is needed. Reports from Russia confirm the belief that she is secretly backing Greece. The Russian army is being placed on a war footing, and the Black sea fleet at Odessa is constantly ready for action. Germany alone of all the great powers is not in absolute sympathy with Greece. Greek FlagQHauled Down. KHANIA, Crete, Feb. 19.-—-Everything is quiet here. The-foreign marines who are in occupation of the town are still flying their respective flags, but the Greek flag has been lowered from the Greek consulate in complia “with the notice sent to the con’sul by: . fEuropcan commanders yes- terday. '--~' .. The Turkisli'i'trObps have occupied forti- fled posiflfii around the town with the co-operat-i _ f the European officers. The Inu ated corpse of a sister of the Russian vice consul has been found lying on the ground at Halepa. ,The discovery of the bodyfha's created an intense feeling of indignation among the foreigners here. Turkish volunteers and refugees who have been brought here by a transport state that 100 Mussulmans have been kill— ed at Sarakinos and Seliuos and that an equal number-have been killed in the sur- rounding country. ‘ dink England Says “No." BERLIN, Feb. 19.—It is learned that the proposal of Germany to blockade the Pl- raeus, the port of Athens, in order to put a check upon the warlike ardor of Greece, was vetoed by Great Britain, and there is little prospect of its being adopted. This, with other information, tends to strengthen the belief that the great powers are not seriously opposing Greece. 6 Mad Dog Runs Amuck. NEW BRITAIN, Conn, Feb. 19.—A shep- herd dog, otvned by one Mrs. Donoghue, went mad this morning and ran wild through the principal streets of the city. An unknown Swede was badly bitten by the animal, and several others were at- tacked before the dog was killed. ' _ A Gentleman Farmer Dead.
