At the Prospect Of Direct Negotiations
With Turkey

ATHENS. June SIT is said on good
authority that the powers are now try
ing to induce Turkey to sign general
peace conditions, defining broad limits
within which Turkey and Greece should
afterwards settle details by direct nego-
tiation.
This news Is regarded at Athens with
dismay. as a breach of faith on the part
Of the powers, and as leaving Greece to
the tender mercies Of the sultan. 1t is
believed by many good Judges at Athens
that Greece may yet have to fight for
her very existence. Already there are
reports that the Turks have. advanced
In the Agrapha district, occupied several
villages, and are still advancing toward
the town Of Agrapha. Greece has pro-
tested to the powers against this VIOLA
tion of the armistice, and Col. Tosa
mados, the minister Of war, has gone to
Lamia.
The Greek newspapers publish the
statement, by Gen, Miles, that the posi-
tions at Thermopylae are impregnable.
LONDON, June 8.-A dispatch to- the
Times from Its correspondent at Con-
stantinople says that the powers to
whom Greece has intrusted her inter-
ests show no signs of yielding their
points in the Turkish demand for the
annexation of Thessaly. the abolition Of
the capitulations in the case Of Greek
subjects In the Ottoman empire or an
exorbitant indemnity.
