ish army in Thessaly. that he Is empow-

Greece direct. has informed the minis

The decree of the Turkish government
calling for the expulsion of all Greeks
from the Ottoman empire. which was to
have gone into effect today, have been
suspended in view Of the peace negotia-
tions.
Count Nelidoff, the Russian ambas-
sador, made the proposal az condition
of the International control of the
Greek debt, that Russia should take over
the Greek indemnity as set off to the
Turkish indemnity due to Russia, but
the sultan will probably refuse, as he
wants possession of the cash himself.
The Intentions of the sultan are
greatly distressed here, and 1t is said he
is avoiding negotiations. for peace
through the powers because he wants
