LONDON, May 9.-The Standards
correspondent ut Berlin says it is gen.
orally thought here that the Sslonica
affair will prove fatal to Turkey. The
interference of the European powers for
the benefit of the christians is now con-
sidered unavoidable, as it is evident that
the Porte is EOWeTless to prOte ct them
against the outbreaks of fansticism.
A special from Athens to the Times

riOus. The Porte is greatly alarmed,
and is sending forward ell its disposable
force by daily and nightly trains on
the AdTianOple railway. The movement
has been long precOncerted by the Serv-
ian agitatOrs. At first it was considered
unimportsnt, but it has spread rapidly,
and the numbers Of the Insurgents are
variously estimated st from one thou
sand to ten thousand. The Porte has
informed foreign ambassadors that it
has resolved to raise the duties on i'm

general, when about one hundred and
fifty persons, whom the consul of the
United States had assembled, rushed at
the convert, tore off her vail and man
tie, and carried he- by force TO the
house of christian. The excited Mus
sulmaDs proceeded to the governors
residence and insisted that the convert
should be brought thither. The govern
or, hearing that the French and Ger
mau COL s1Is had entered the mosque,
which was invaded by O crowd, went
there TO induce the cOnsuls to withdraw,
to calm the people. All his efforts were
useless. The pOpulace wrenched the
bars from the grating, fell upon the con-
suis and struck them down, in spite of
the desperate efforts of the governor to
shield them with mis- OWE person. The
troops ultimately dispersed the people,

the Times says that the reports OF the

lOnica without delay, Russian and
