GREECE VERY B0MBASTIC
SALISBURY'S NOTE PROVOkES
A CURT REJOINDER.

vance.
LONDON, Jan. 25.-The Greek govern
ment in reply to the note OF the Marquis
of Salisbury says that the representations
Of England infringe on International and
diplomatic observance, 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 at
titude. Bulgaria having violated the
treaty of Berlin under the agis of Eng
land, Greece is justified in using every
means in her power, and even to resort
to arms if necessary, TO OBJ
tain the concessions the treaty
of Berlin gave her. Greece will MAINTAIN
her claim to Thessaly and Epirus no mat
ter what the cost may be aud 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 for a
revolt in Albania and Macedonia, and
Europe will not look placidly on.
