THE GREEK MINISTER SPEAKS.
The Greek Minister in London, in
an interview on Jan. 25th said that
Greece-the King, the Government
and the people--will fight to the
bitter end before they will allow
Bulgaria to absorb one hundred
thousand people belonging to the
Greek race, which she will certainly
do if the union of Bulgaria and
Eastern Roumelia is recognized.
Greece is fully entitled to the whole
of Epirus. England is interfering
with the rights and liberties of
Greece. am confident that the Greeks
can whip the Turks at sea. AS to the
land defenses of Greece, the moment
war is declared Macedonia and AL
bania will he set in flames, thus cut
ting off the land communications of
the Turks and attacks on the sea-
ports. ..4.#.4 ID"
THE GRECIAN REPLY.
Greece, in reply to the note of
the Marquis of Salisbury, says the
representations of England infringe
on international and diplomatic OBJ
servances and declares that Greece
reserves perfect freedom of action.
The answer further says that Greece
has not declared war, nor has she
given cause for England to interfere
regarding her attitude. Bulgaria
having violated the treaty of Berlin
under the Rgis of England, Greece
is justified in using every means in
her power, and even to resort to
arms, if necessary, to obtain the
concessions the Treaty of Berlin
gave her. Greece will maintain hel
claim to Thessaly and Epirus nc
matter what the cost may be, and is
prepared to take the field at the
earliest moment and fight to the
bitter end in support of her rights
She is confident of success. The
first movement of Turkish troops
against Greece will be the signal fol
a revolt in Albania and Macedonia
and Europe will not look placidly
on.
