LONDON. April .. The Times Friday
prints a dispatch from it's Vienna cor
respondent, who says:
"A council OF the admirals was held
to-day Thursday TO determine wheth-
er and when the Gulf of Athens is to
be blockaded. All the powers have
now consented 70 that proposition,
though nothing has been decided with
respect 20 the blockade of other Greek
ports.
at is no secret that King George has
formally stated TO the powers that a
declaration OF war against Turkey
will Immediately follow on extension
OF the blockade TO the Greek coast
This fact can not be left out OF con-
sideration. 1t is believed in some quar-.
tiers that If the Gulf OF Athens il
bloctaded popular excite Mt viii com
pei the king to declare war, even If his
own judgment and that Of the cabinet
were opposed J his has been a lead
ing cause of the delay in securing a
unanimous agreement between the
powers There is no doubt that in the
event OF TurcJ-Greek war the inter
vcntion Of the powers would be sus-
pended.

eign fleets in Cretan waters have re.
fused to allow the Christians at Akroti

less they surrender their arms.
ATHENS, April 2.-Some of the Brit
ish war ships employed in blockade
duty in the waters of Crete have cap
tured three small Greek sailing vcs-
sells. Much Indignation is expressed
here over the affair, as it is pretty
clearly established that at the time
The vessels were captured they we're
outside the limits of the blockade
LONDON. April 2.-It is credibly stat
ed here that the admirals commanding
the fleets at Canea and other Cretan
ports have applied TO their respective
governments TO each send 50 cavalry
| and half battery OF artillery, which
they declare are required to be used
for garrison purposes. 1t is stated
that the admirals have announced that
these forces will be used solely to de-
fend the various forts.
