Greece Apparently Determined to
’ Force a Fight With Turkey.

ATHENS WILD FOR THE PRAY

Feverish Activity In Military and Naval
V Preparations at the Capital—The
Powers’ Admirals Planning
to Blockade Greece.

ATHENS, March 8,—The ultimatum of
the six powers to Greece, insisting upon
the withdrawal of Greek troops and fleet
from Crete, which was presented on Men-
At
that hour, if Greece is still obdurate, the
ministers of the six powers will leave this
city. They are already preparing their
embassies for departure.

Many officers of foreign armies have
asked to be allowed to serve under the
Greek flag. In reply the government ex—
pressed its thanks to the officers, but said

that the laws of Greece would not permit .

the acceptance of their services in the cir-

cu stances.
uite a warlike aspect is visible today

all overthe squares and streets of the cap-'

ital. The feverish activity which has
characterized the movements of the mili-
tary and naval authorities here for several
days past continues unabated. Prepara-
tions, to dispatch troops and munitions of
war to Thessaly are being hurried forward
with all possible haste.

The Greek barbette ships Spezia and
Foam, which sailed from the Piraeus a
day or two age under sealed orders, to-
gether with the cruiser Navarehos, the
corvettes Admiral Niaulis and Basileus
Georgios and the gunbeats Anso and Pa-
ralos, will form a squadron which has been
ordered to cruise in the Sppradcs. Another
squadron composed of eight gunboats will
cruise in the gulf of Arta.

Reservists are hurrying from all parts
of the kingdom. Several batteries and
one regiment of cavalry have left for the
frontier. The government intends to call
out the last two classes of reserves.

The Crown Prince Constantine leaves
at once for Trikhala, in Thessaly, taking
the chief command of the troops there.

A Turkish warship, while attempting
to land troops and provisions at Douro, in
the gulf of Arta, was chased by the Greek
revenue cutter Afroissa. Being unable
to escape, she ran ashore, and only 15 of
her crew were saved. '

, No hostilities or coercive measures are
pessible until Wednesday, as the foreign
admirals must first be advised of the de-
parture of the ministers.

' The admirals are now engaged in draw-
ing up a general scheme of blockade.

It is learned that the Turks have fired
on a Greek fishing vessel on the coast of
Epirus, killing two sailors. The govern-
ment has ordered agunboat to proceed im-
mediately to the scene.

The British ironclad Anson, from Mal-
ta, has arrived at the Piaeeus. The British
cruiser Blanche and the battleship Nile
have left the port.

The Turks Getting Ready.

SALONICA, Macedonia, March 8.——Fever-
ish activity prevails here in the military
preparations. Four extra. battalions of
redifs have gone to Caterina. Edhem
Pasha, who is to command the Turkish
troops in Macedonia, has arrived here and

' will proceed immediately to Elassona.

,Sixty battalions of infantry, 15 battalions

of artillery and l regiments of cavalry are

now posted on the Greek frontier of Mace-

donia and Epirus.

Fighting In Crete.

KBANIA, Island of Crete, March 8.—
Hostilities, which were suspended for sev-
eral days, have been renewed at Candamo,
Where, it is authoritativhly asserted, the
besieged number 9,000. The Turks had
thrown up earthworks to enable them to
withstand the fire of the insurgents, but
the latter rapidly destroyed the fortifica-
tions, despite the brave defense made by
the Mussulmans. Many were killed on
both sides. .. . .

The military governor of Crete in an in-
terview declared that European troops
would be sent in force sufficient to compel
Colonel Vassos to evacuate in case Greece
rejects the ultimatum of the powers. This
statement, however, is discredited.

The Greek ironclad Hydra having en-
tered Suda bay, the admirals aboard the
war vessels of the powers signaled her‘to
leave. Sachtouris at first did not comply

'with the demand, but was finally obliged

to yield when threatened with coercion.
The Hydra went to the bay of Ahnyrida,
whence, however, Commodore Sachtouris
has as yet been unable to communicate
with Colonel Vassos, owing to unfavorable
weather.

Greek Re-enforcements.

Two Greek gunboats have arrived here
with men to enter the gendarmerie, which
disbanded some time ago, many of its
members joining the Turkish gendarmerio
under Major Bor.

It is reported that the Greek minister
at Constantinople has made overtures to
the porte offering in behalf of his govern—

' ment to recall Colonel Vassos and his

troops from the island of Crete on condi~
tion that the Turkish forces are withdrawn
first. The porte replied that the powers
will agree to no conditions regarding the
Withdrawal of the Greeks. - ,

A rumor is current to the effect that
Prince George will be proposed as the~
prince of Crete in the event of the island
being converted into a principality.

The foreign warship-s have landed 500
men at Selino.

Both Sides Irritated.

The news of the proposal upon the part
of the powers to grant autonomy to the is-
land of Crete has created a bad impression
among the insurgents, who desire annexa-
tion to Greece. The Mussulmans are also
irritated at the concession of autonomy.

The departure of the British consul, Sir

.Alfred Billiotti, alone for Selino on board

the British battleship Rodney, although
that yessel was accompanied by other for-
eign warships, is badly interpreted by the
other consuls, who, however, had previous-
ly rejected a proposal to go there in order
to make a fresh attempt to save the Mos-
lem families. who are in danger by the in-
vestment of that place by the insurgents.

The Greek consul has returned here with
the reply of Colonel Vassos, the commander
of the Greek army of occupation, t0 the
admirals. The colonel agrees to permit
the departure of the Mussulman captives
at Selino and elsewhere on the condition
that they lay down their arms and agree
not t fight any further against the Greeks
durl‘ g tlib present hostilities.
