OccupatiOn OF Volo.

Volo, Nav 9'-The cOrrespon
dent of the Associated Press, de-
scribing the entry OF the Turkish
troops says:
E Them Pasha sent a flag OF
truce with proclamation that ne
would protect all inhabitants re-
naming in the town. A touching
scene ensued. In the princlpal
streets an Immense crowd gathered
with anxious upturned faces listen
ing eagerly 20 the reading OF the
proclamation which was to decide
their tate. When the reading was
finished a murmnr of inten'e re
lief was heard throughout the
dense Thong quickly followed by
frantic shonts OF 'lOng live the
Sultan
But there still remained cause
for the most serious anxiety, for
the question was then whether the
Greek admiral, whose ships were
lying off the town and in plain
sight, would accept Z Them Pashas
terms. A single shot from the feet
would have compelled the Turks
to treat VolO as hostile.
Three newspaper men, myself
among them, we're appointed
deputauou to go on board the
flagship and get the admirals re-
ply. We bore a white flag. At
the quay, however, we met the
captains of the foreign warships
with written communication
from the admiral saying that he
intended to remain IN front Of the
town until assured that it wOu'd
be occupied quietly.
To this the Turkish commander
replied that only one battal lou
would enter, the main army going
into camp outside and lie again
requested that the Greek fleet he
withdrawn, as otherwise he could
not be responsible for what might
occur.
