Another Thessalian District in Revolt.
Count Andrassy's View, of the Situation.

VIENNA. March 9. The extepsi "a of Bulgaria
along the II sean Sea caused great CONJUNCTION at
Athens, since, If carried out, il would terminate
Greek ASPIRATIONS Ia connect N with Thrace, Con-
stauiinople and the Dardsneles. Even should a
strip from ksvala TO Makri ouly be included in
Bulgaria, this would interrupt the coast ue posi-
ton which they had long regarded a. their rig ht-
fil inheritance, the maj )rity Of the Inhabitants be-
ing Greeks.

clubs aud political circles that Lyon. is likely to

eign depa tment in case affairs between England

unlikely change will be made befor, the meet
ing OF the congress, IN which case England will
be represented by her foreign minister.

VIENNA, March 9. The statement that q bill
for credit Is to be submitted to the del cations,
says In the present position of AIRS it is not
imp lsslble that government might be Obliged to
take extraor iinary measures for protection of the
interests Of the monarchy. In this case the gov

proposed TO expend thi, com pleting the equip
ment OF the army, but it is intended afford gov
EN- nent means TO insure the monsrch aga nst dan
ger and surprise.
Count Andras,y, 10 a statement ACCOMPANYING
the bill for credit to the deleg atoms, says: 1T
was quite natural that in the arrangeIne mis- made
during the campaign political interests were driv-
en- to the background by tue military interests.
L nder such circumstances the interests of Europe
aud the individual States csnuot come out seattle
less. Public opinion has gone from one extreme to
another, but at the congress the situation may ap-
pear in less di.quienng aspect. Russia has re-
peatedly declared that she drew the sword not
iron selfish motives nut to improve the lot of the
Christians. We must demand such q limitation
OF the results of the war whereby ne ther our in-
rests ncr those of Europe will be mi lred. We
must provide the best pDssible solution. but not q
more postponement of questions arising out of the
ela.ions of the Powers. II was not to Russia's
in crest to make sscri fees for things which do not
contain within themselves guarantees of stability
and TO which Europe was bound to refuse recog-
nj ion Consequently it was not just6able hope
that the congress would lead to an agree ment.
