>‘ London, April 28.—A dispatch received
at one of the embassies from Athens
says that King George of Greece may
-at any moment be deposed or assassi-
nated and that the mob is likely to take
possession of the city notwithstanding
the fact that the king yesterday indi-
rated his willingness to sign any meas-
ures that the government might pre-
pare and dissolved the staff of the
. . ZEKKI PASH’A.
[Master of artillery of the sultan’s
army.]
Crown Prince Constantine to please M.
Balli, the opp0sition leader, appointing
General Smolentz as chief of staff. The
.Worst is feared.
A later dispatch from Athens says
that the Greek minister of marine, M.
Levides, has resigned.
'A deputation of citizens sent from
Volo to Larissa has been assured by the
Turkish commanders that the people of
Thessaly have nothing to fear from the
invaders.
A special dispatch from Constanti-
nople announces that the sultan has
recalled Osman Pasha, in order to avoid
embarrassing Edhem Pasha.
According to a special dispatch re-
ceived here this afternoon from Con—,
stantinOple the Turkish fleet has start-
ed for Salor’lika,‘whe're a naval battle
between the Greeks and Turks is immi-
nent.
It is further reported that four Rus-
sian warships are within view at the
entrance Of the Bosporus. The Russian
embassy, it is also stated, has a sema-
phore at Boyukdere, constantly ex-
changing signals with the Russian
ships.
Aspecial dispatch from Constantinople
says that a telegram has been received
there from Edhem Pasha, the Turkish
commander in chief, announcing that
a division of-his army is on its way to
Volo, the port of Thessaly, and that an-
other division is en route to Trikhala.
Special telegrams received here dur-
ing the afternoon from Salonika say
that the very greatest excitement pre-
vails there on the report that 5 Greek
ironclads, 13 smaller Greek warships
and torpedo boats, accompanied by 2
Greek transports, have been sighted 60
miles from that port. The Turkish au-
thorities, the dispatches further an-
nounce, are preparing to resist an at-
tack of the Greek fleet.‘
In the House of Commons.
The parliamentary secretary for the
foreign office, Mr. George N. Curzon,
replying to a question of Mr. Henry
Labouchere, advanced liberal, member
for Northampton in the House of Com-
mons, today said no agreement had
been reached relative to the Withdrawal
of the Turkish troops from Crete. ’A
majority of the powers. he added, were,
of the opinion that the Greeks must’
leave first.
Continuing, Mr. Curzon informed the
house that the admirals Of the foreign
fleets in Cretan waters had decided that
GENERAL SMOLENTZ.
[Grecian minister of war.]
the deportation of the Turks would im-
peril 49,000 Cretan Mussulmans in Can-
dia alone.
In conclusion, Mr. Curzon remarked
that the powers had no intention of oc-
cupying any portion of Greek territory
and declaring it neutral.
The Expulsion of Greeks.
Constantinople, April 28.—The Turk-
ish government, acting upon the rec-
ommendations of the embassadors of
the powers, has authorized the Greeks
in, the service of the consulates, hos-
pitals, foreign missions and postoffice
to remain in Turkey. All other Greeks,
however, will have to leave the empire.
The successes Of the Turkish troops
in Thessaly have caused the greatest
satisfaction in military circles here. It
is now believed Edhem Pasha will oc-
cupy the port of V010 and-the impor-
‘tant town of Trikhala, almost due west
of Larissa and about 40 miles from that
place, with the view of strengthening
his position. The Turkish government
will then call upon Greece to evacuate
the island of Crete on the econdition
that the Ottoman troops are withdrawn
from Thessaly. With the occupation of

Trikhala 'by the Turkish forces, the
Greeks in Epirus will find themselves
between the troops under Ahmed H7 in
Pasha and those of Edhem Pasha and
in danger of being cut off from the rest
of the Hellenic forces.
As to the campaign in Epirus, it is ,
not thought here that Janina is now in
.danger of being attacked by the muti-
nous Albanians, as, owing to the efforts
.of the palace officials here, combined
with the efforts of the Albanian chiefs,
.t-he m‘utineers are said to haversfibmit-
ted, although the outbreak at first
caused serious apprehension at the
‘Yildiz kiosk.
‘The European cabinets are exchang-
ing views with regard to the expedien-
cy of mediating between Turkey' and
Greece.

Salonika, April 28.—The Portuguese
gunboat Guadiarfa arrived here today.

pedo boats about 20 miles from this

squadron ordered the commander of the
Portuguese gunboat to go on board the
largest of the Greek cruisers. The Por-
tuguese officer protested, saying he
would only allow the Greeks to see his
ship’s papers. and has reported the
outrage to Lisbon.
Several British warships and a French

lnce of Epirus.

D’ANNUNZIO T0 cousrocx. -
The Italian Author Subtly Ridicules the
Pretenslons 301' the hotter.
New York, April 28.—Gabriele D’And
nunzio has sent an answer to Anthony
Comstock’s charge against his “Tri—
umph of Death.”
D’Annunzio‘handles Comstock in sub4
tle Italian fashion. He doesnot‘ strike
hard, nor aim to. He throws slender
darts, but they are poisoned.
D’Annunzio begins by saying he is
laughing, laughing, laughing on board
a yacht in the gulf of Naples, where the
blue stretches Of water invite one 'to
laugh louder and-louder. Then he con-
tinues: ‘
“In a young and free country, pro-
pitious for all the broadest and most
intense manifestations of life, can it
still be permissible for a certain Mr.
w'Comstock to impose his stupid veto up—
on a work Of art which is nothing if
not a severe and sadly complete study
of one of the most atrocious infirmities
'that afflict the modern soul? In the
name of what morality does this ob-
tuse persecutor hurl his thunderbolts?
Destitute of even a glimmer of intelli-
gence, he may be fitted to harass
drunkards wallowing in the mire of the
city, but he has not the slightest ca.-
pacity, nor has‘he any authority, to ex-
press a judgment of any kind upon a.
work of beauty and poetry.
“Not for his sake—for at him' I laugh
-—but in order to prevent honest minded
people being led astray, I wish to de-
fend my work.
“The horrible vacuity of life, with on-
ly itself for object, the tragic despair of
carnal passion, are. revealed in it with
an exactitude very much more efl‘ica—
cious than rhetorical sermons or the
zealous denunciations Of Mr. Comstock
and of his society.” .
frD’Annunzio concludes as follows:
.fi‘You see, then, what is intended to be
the moral significance 'of the book that
‘the funny Mr. Comstock has dared to
accuse of immorality. You see what is
the tendency Ofmy art—a gradual ele-
vation from deformity and impotence
toward the most ample and splendid
forms of life. '
“As I anticipated, the stupid accusa-
tion has tumbled down amid universal
laughter, and the secretary of the SO-
ciety For the Prevention of Vice is cov-
ered with ridicule, and in the future he
may not care to meddle with things too
elevated for his mental capacity.”
THE SOUTH AFRICAN MUDDLE.
A Motion Adopted Despite the Opposition
of Mr. Cecil Rhodes.
Cape Town, April 23'.~The motion in—
troduced in the p‘r‘ liament of Cape Col—
ony on April 16 urging the adoption of

strict observance of the London con-
vention and the redress of the genuine
'grievances of the uitlanders, and fur—
ther amended deprecating the interven-
tion of any foreign power in any dis-
pu‘e between the Transvaal a Great
Brfv’ain, was adopted today byr a vote

Rhodes, the former premier, voted

Escape of Two Burglars.
Troy, N. Y.. April 28.—Harry Schill
and Philip Atwell, who were arrested

mer home of ex-Justice Charles R. In-
galls, escaped from the lockup atGreen—
wich.
evidently passed through the window
by friends, and the bar and Schill’s
coat and hat were found in the cell. '
The Case of Dr.-Hunter.
Frankfort, Ky., April 28.—Judge Can-
trill has indicated that he will hear no
argument on any motion to quash or
on demurrer against the indictments
against Hunter et al. at this term of

have therefore about decided to make
no effort. to do anything at all in the
matter until the next, or September,

Lieutenant Farrow “'on’t Talk.
Pittsburg, April 28.—Lieutenant Ed-
Ward S. Farrow, who was arrested sev-
eral days ago in New York city in con-
nection with the alleged insurance
