LONDON, May 24.-The Turk.
ish situation, according to the latest
advices from both Athens and Con.
stantinople, is becoming serious once
more. Turkey insists on the payment
by Greece of at least the. Turkish ex-
penses OF the war and rectification
OF the frontier, and to-day the Greek
ministers declared to the foreign min
listers at Athens that Greece would
not pay one cents indemnity to Tur-
key nor would it agree to rectifca-
tion of the frontier.
Further than this, the feeling of the
people of Athens against King George
and Crown Prince Constantine is grow
| Ing in bitterness and the Austrian
cruiser Kronprincessin Stefanie has
been ordered from Salonica to Pha-
| lerum, near the Piraeus (the port of
Athens) to remain there at the disposal
OF the royal family of Greece if re-
| quired to convey them from that coun-
try.
TURKS BREAK THE ARMISTICE.
To add still more to the excitement
in Greece, small bodies of the Turkish
right wing in Thessaly advanced yes
tefday toward the village of Divri.
This is fragrant breech of the armis-
tice. The Turks have also pillaged
the estate of the heirs of Photides Pa
Sha, late Christian governor of Crete,
near Sofalis. taking away thirty eight
wagon loads of furniture, burning
dwellings, violating women and COM
mitting many other acts of pillage and
outrage.
After the defeat of Domokos the
people seemed to expect the immediate
arrival of the Turks at Athens. On
all sides families prepared to go to the
islands and anxious crowds paraded
the streets.
Some shots were fired at the crown
prince as he endeavored to stay the
confusion of the retreat from Domo-
kos. Two Greek batta1ions were seized
with panic and the retreating soldiers,
on entering Lama, could not be re-
strained by their officers. They
shouted: 1.-THE Turks are coming"
The panic which resulted was in
creased by the jail birds who had been
released and caused disorder through
out the town.
The arrival at Athens of the volun-
teers from America yesterday excited
curiosity, but no enthusiasm They
will proceed to join the army of Crown
Prince Constantine.
ADMIRALS FIRED ON.
CANEA, Crete, May 24.-In conse-
quence of the departure of the Greeks,
Btshi Bazouks fired upon Admiral
Harris, the British commander, Thurs
day afternoon, making it his fourth
escape since he had been in these
waters. Later in the day five shots
were fred at the French admiral while
walking in Suda with his chief of
staff. Shots were also fired at
British signaler and three insurgents
attacked and disarmed British lieu
tenant near Suda.
Owing to this last case, the British
admiral sent an ultimatum to the in
surgents demanding the return of the
lieutenant's arms within forty-eight
hours The ultimatum expired yester-
day, and the British cruiser Cambria
was recalled to Suda bay to be pre-
pared for even ntualities
Brigandage is also appearing among
the insurgents. Two Mussulman chill
dren were kidnapped Thursday, and
one of them vas sent back with de-
mand for ransom, failing which the
head of the other child would be re-
turned
