LONDON, Jan. 25.-The Greek Minister in
an interview to-day respecting the warlike
news published this morning from Athens,
said: "The Greek King, Government and
people will fight to the bitter end before
they will allow Bulgaria to absorb 10000
people belonging TO the Greek race, which
she will certainly do if the union of Bulgar-
ia and Eastern Roumelis is recognized.
"Greece is fully entitled to the whole of
Ephirus. England is interfering with the
rights and liberties of Greece. am conf
dent 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 be set in fiames thus cutting off
the land communications of the Turks and
attacks on seaports."

press instead of the Irish one, in view of the
alarming news from Constantinople The
Times adds; What is to be feared is not so
much reckless acts and moral provocation,
resulting only in mischief and bloodshed,
as attempts to excite risings beyond the
Turkish frontier, which would probably in
volve the whole of Macedonia and reopen
the Eastern question in its fullest extent
If Greece sets her match 10 the train no one
can tell where the contiagratiOn will end.
