boundary line likely 10 bo accepted by the
Berlin conference: Starting from Cape Stylo
Apostle Corfu, striking northeast, thence
north Of Ziiza TO tho valley Of the Zagoritekos,
thence southeast along the northern slope Of
the Mizikcll mountains lying north of lake
Janina, afterward passing north of Met2ova,
then bearing cast OF northeast along the north
ern slope of Mount Olympus, and finally

Malathria river. II Is understood that Aus

Turkeys Reply to the Powers.
PARIS June 19.--The Turkish reply to that
part of the identical note relating to the
Greek question says: THE porte has not re-
piled to Lord Salisburys dispatch in regard to
an international commission of delimitation,
because II objected to the principlc:Of such
commission The porte, admitting the impos-
sibility of all agreement between Turkey and
Greece, desires the mediation OF the powers,
MS provided by article 25 of the Treaty Of
Berlin, us the only proper means of solving
the question. The porte would, therefore,
not object TO the proposed conference but for
the apparent fact that it will be instructed to
tako decisions irreconcilabo with the idea of
mediation. The porte has always understood
that mediation would address itself to the
called upon to make sacrifices. Such media
tion should exclude all fears of an attack OH
the independence OF the porte and the freedom
OF its deliberations If the con nCeroncc has
only the Object of preparinga conciliatory line
Of action calculated to lead to an agreement
freely accepted by the power which is in
possession of the disputed territory, then
the porte, reassurcd as to its Independence,
has only to consider tho ovcrures
which the mediatory powers may wish to
make. AS for the delimitation commission
which the conference is to send, it cannot,
sgreeably with all rules aud precedents, have
auy other msndate than apply upon the spot
the line previously agreed upon between the
powers and the state which Is called upon to
make IA surrender of territory. The porte de-
claring its resolution to facilitate the task of
tho mediatory powers, and relying on the JUS
tice and friendship of the signatories of the
Treaty Of Berlin, will seize every occasion to
exhibit its good will aud Difference toward
Europe"

command of brigand chiefs, dispensing them
throughout the province ostensibly to crush
brigandage, but really to occupy important
