TORKS MUST NOT BE; ALLOWED TO REMAIN IN THESSALY Vattl Greece Can Pay the Indemnity, Otherwise She Will Withdraw From the Concert of the Powers. Athens, May 26.—It is announced here that England has issued an offi- gial declaration that she will abandon the concert of the powers if the Turks are allowed to remain at Phesealy until Greece has paid the indemnity demanded of her. London, May 26 —The aspect of Eastern affairs is lees peaceful. Tur- key is sending 7,000 more treops to Thesealy, and it is said that the Sul- tan has promised his ministers not 4o relax his hold upon that province. Tt is reported from Vienva that Emperor Nicholas has advised King George for bis own safety,to appoint a military governor, ‘with exception- al powers, and to concentrate 8,000 picked troops at Athens. Athene, May 26.—The Ethuike Metaira is denounced, and the Gov ernment is urged to seize its funds, fo confiecate its stores and arms and to compel it to render an account. The Government is not likely to ac- eede to this suggestion, because many persons prominent in political life are closely connected with the erganization, and the Hetaira has decided to remain eilent and to pre- serve its mysterious and invisible character. New York, May 26.—Sylvester Scovell sends the Evening World from Athens interview with mem bers of the Greek Cabinet. Ralli, Prime Minister, says Greece did not use her navy, knowing a bombard ment of Turkish seaports would -have been followed by a general massacre of Christians in Turkey. Had she been able the result would have been different. Skoulodis says the powers forced Greece to war by blockading Crete. Simopolis, Minister of Finance, says: “Our eoffers were sucked dry, and the war eould not be continued.” Thadamadhos, Minister of War, says Greece was outnumbered and Desten, but even now can not yield 8 foot. Eutaxios, Minister of Religion and Education, says: “The war has been ene of the cross against the crescent with Europe against Christ. The powers permitted our troops to land to protect Christians in Crete, then blockaded us. The country has re- eeived a ten years’ set back.” Ballard Snow Liniment. 2 This liniment is different in composi tion from any other liniment on the market.

It is significant that the expecta- tion of decisive action by the admin. istration has grown so strong as to prompt discussion in official circles of the probable cost of a declaration of war from Spain. Senator Morgan does not hesitate to say the declara- tion would be the quickest and best way of settling the Cuban question. He believes that the belligerency resolution will within a short time become of legal force, and tbat then the declaration of war will come from Spain. He introduced the re- solution because it seemed to offer the best way to the only proper settlement. WAR SPAIN'S BEST CHANCE. “I had no idea of antagonizing the President,” he said. “1 wanted to show him that the democrats were with him in a vigorous policy. .I thought I knew where the sentiment of the country was on the subject. “A declaration of war from Spain will give Spain the opportunity to get rid of Cuba without sacrifice of her honor, aceording to the Spanish way of looking at it. We would blockade Havana :the firet move. There might be a sham battle or two, but im a very short iime Spain would take advantage of the situa tion to surrender Cuba on the best termy she could make. “Perhaps coupled with the surren- der, may be the payment of some- thing by us. Wecan then conirol the Gulf of Mexico, as we ought te. A hundred thousand young Ameri- cans will go at once from this country to Cuba. There is no other spot on earth which offers such inducements.
