Greek question says: The Porte has not
replied to Lord Salisburys dispatch in re-
gard to the international Commission OF De-
limitation because it objected to the principle
of such Commission. The Porte, admitting
the impossibility of agreement between Tur-
key and Greece, desires the mediation of the
the Treaty of Berlin, as the only proper
means of solving the question.
The Porte has always understood that me
dis zion would address itself TO the States in
terested, especially that one which is called
upon to make q sacrifice. Such mediation
should exclude all fears of an attack on the

in possession of the disputed territory, then |
the Porte, treasured Of its Independence, has |
only to consider the overtures which the me-
diatory Powers may wish to make.
As for the DelinIitation Commission which |
the Conference is to send, it cannot, agree
ably with all rules and presidents, have any
