Further Negotiations Will l’rccede
Coercive Measures.
TEE REPLY TO THE POWERS.
Had Efl‘ect of Making Them Pause For
Reflection —- Engagements Between
Turks and Insurgents Progress-
ing—Feeling In London.
LONDON, March lO.—The communica-
tions which Lord Salisbury wired to the
powors concerning the reply of Greece to
the collective note of the powers have re-
sulted in the concurrence of France and
Italy with Great Britain that coercive
measures toward Greece should be delayed
and negotiations continued at Athens. A
telegram received at the foreign Office from
Rome states that the Italian government
considers the Greek note of too negative :5
character to justify the powers in taking
immediate action.
Fighting In Crate.

around Akrotiri was reattached by bill! in

A Turkish transport), with civil officials
and troops, hm: arrived here With small-
pox on board.
in addition to ordering the Greek vice
consul to leave the island, Admiral Cone-
vero, the Italian officer, who, by reason of
seniority, is in command of the combined
foreign fleets, has ordered the Greek news:
paper correspondents and all the other
Greeks to leave Crete immediately.
The report that the siege of Candamo
was raised is not confirmed. Great anxi-
ety is expressed. The attempt of ‘ British
Consul Biliotti to treat with the insurgent
leaders there failed. They told him they
would take orders from no one but Colo-
nel Vassos.
There was a general feeling of alarm
Sunday night lest the insurgents might;
attack Halepa. But the men-of—war
flashed their searclilights continually and
nothing happened. It is rumored that
the insurgents have attacked Candie. and
that fighting is in progress outside of the
town.
The Feeling: In Limdnu,
LONDON. March 10.—-—Busines§ on the
Stock Exchange this morning was dull,
with prices drooping. Operators were
awaiting development-s in the Cretan ques-
tion. The general impression in competent
quarters is that the powers will not accept
the proposals of Greece. and that they will
carry out their threat of coercing Greece
if necessary.
It is believed, however, that. the Greek
reply is only intended to soften the shock
of surrender to the excited Hellenes. and
that often; brief pretense of opposition the
government of Greece will discover the in-
tility of opposing the will at" united Eu-
rope, and that- the unmpli:!:ice of Greece
will follow.
The Times, in rm editorial upon the re-
ply of Greece to the powers. (tonslch-v that
she-advances 1:0 convincing: nrgmnont why
they Should not i‘xct‘tiro their: throats of
coercion. '
The Daily News thinks that the reply
furnishes a reasonable basis for further in:-
gotiations.
It is stated that Admiral Ccnevero of
the Italian fleet and in command of the
combined squadrons proposed as a. first
step in the event of a. negative reply from
Greece that all the powers should recall
their ministers from Athens.
Probably it will be decided to enforce a
peaceful blockade, applying only to vessels
under the Greek' flag. These would not
be confiscated, but detained only till the
blockade was raised. .
Much is hoped in the way of a solution
of the difficulty from Lord Salisbury’s
visit to the queen and the influence of the
royal family and his relatives upon King
George.
Parliamentary papers have been issued
containing the full text of the notes of the
powers to Turkey and Greece. The first
note to Turkey rude no mention Of the
withdrawal of Turkish troops from Crete,
but the second explained that the scheme
Of autonomy implied a progressive reduc-
tion of the Ottoman forces in the island,
and that, therefore, after the Hellenic
evacuation the Turkish troops must be
withdrawn to the occupied towns.
It was learned in Official quarters this
afternoon that there is not the slightest
chance that the powers will tolerate the
presence of the Greek troops in Khania:
So soon as the powers have had time to
exchange views on the subject Greece will
be notified of the measures which they
have decided must be taken for the imme-
diate enforcement of their decision.
The negotiations will not last long, for
it is known that} Germany and Russia are
pressing for immediate action.
. Italy Besltates.
ROME, March lO.—-The cabinet met in
council today. the premier, Marquis di
Rudini, presiding, to discuss the reply of
Greece to the collective note of the powers,
and as the result of the discussion a com-
munication was wired to each of the great
powers saying that, according to the opin~
ion of Italy, the powers are. still out of ac-
cord as to the method of coercion which
should be directed against Greece, and
that nothing can be done until the ques-
tion ,is settled.
The dispatch further says that the for-
cign admirals in Cretan waters differ in
opinion from Admiral Cenevero, com-
manding the Italian squadron, and, by
reason of seniority, directing the united
fleet, who reports that the mere blockading
of the Piraeus would be ineffective. The
united fleet, he says. must extend its oper-
ations from the Piraeus to Volo, in Thes~
saly.'
’l he communication of the government
to the powers adds that Italy will not on
tertaiu a. proposal to occupy Crete alone.
but; if there shall be any occupation of the
island it- must be a mixed occupation.
Excitement In Athens.
ATHENS, March 10,—There is intense
anxiety here relative to the action which
the powers will decide to adopt in the face
of the reply of the Greek government to
the powers’ demands. In any case it is
not believed here that the proposed block-
ade of the Greek coasts will beginbefore
the end of the week.
The warship Hydra has ali‘eady been re-
called from Cretan waters, leaving only
two small Greek vessels in that quarter.
This is regarded as a virtual yielding to
the powers so far as the fleet is concerned.

You never saw a

" -4 he feels listless and
‘ sluggish; if he is.
_ dizzy and blind the
minute he steps
out of bed; if his breakfast doesn’t taste
00d ; if he feels utterly incapable of work,
it is a pretty sure sign that his digestion is:
out of order—that his principal trouble is
constipation. If he lets this ‘condition run
on, there is no telling where it will stop.
Nine-tenths of all human sickness comes
from constipation. The first thing that
every doctor asks when he is called to scan
patient is whether the bowels are in good-
order. It is nonsense to call. a» doctor for
such a simple thing. It is nonsense to let
such a simple thing grow into such a serious
thing, as it always does if neglected. Dr.
Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets cure constipation.
They not only afl‘ord immediate and pleas-
ant relief {rom all the distressing symp-
toms, but they cure permanently and posi-
tively. There are 10,000 medicines that can
be taken, to give temporary relief. The
“ Pleasant Pellets ” are the only things that
really cure. . >

druggist insists on giving you something
else, there must be a reason for it. We
know what that reason is—he makes a big-
ger profit on the other thing. Any drug-
gist in America. will supply the “Pellets"
