Turks Claim This Is Merely a Defensive
Measure Against the eGreeks-Anti-Turk-
ish Manifestations Reported at Arta and |

The suitans Action Regarded as "A Wise
Decision Under the circumstances.
Constantinople Feb. 1s.-[Copyright-
ed. 1897. by the Associated Press. 1.-The
council of ministers, as a result of it's
all-day session at Yildiz. has decided
to leave the pacification Of Crete to the
powers This is regarded as a wise de-
cision In the face of most complicated
situation in Crete, where the flags OF
Russia, France, Great Britain. Italy
and Austria are flying alongside the
Turkish standard, while Greece is SEEM
ingly defying the powers. The minis
terial council also decided to send kar-
atheodori Pasha to Crete as imperial
high commissioner, to adopt military
measures on the Greek frontier as pre-
viously intimated, to appoint Marshal
Edham Pasha, who directed the opera
| tons against the insurgents of Zeitoun
| in 1896, to command the Turkish troops
at Elassona, and call out the redifs
| (first reserves) of the third army corps,
which is now in Salonica.
For Defensive Purposes.
These measures however, are for
purely defensive purposes and are taken
in order to enable the Turkish govern
ment to be prepared for all eventuali-
ties. The sultan has informed the am
bassadors Of the powers that, in view
of the aggressive attitude of Greece, he
has been obliged to adopt measures re-
quired by the situation AT the same
time the sultan took the occasion to eX-
press his satisfaction at the landing OF
the detachments of marines at Canea
from the warships of Russia, France,
Great Britain, Italy and Austria for the
restoration of order in Crete. In spite
of this peaceful outlook II Is known that
the debarkation Of the Greek forces In
Crete caused a great sensation at Til-
diz and it required the use of mueh tac

vail upon the porte to accept the stu

the heroic actions of Captain Bliz-

which reached the Delaware Break

night, when hardly across the Chesa-

GERMAN BAPTIsTs' TERRITORY.

The conference OF German Baptists
Of the East, to which there are several
Delaware delegates, yesterday discussed
the question of the territory which is
included In the Eastern Conference.
The dividing line suggested is to extend
from Baltimore to Albany. The argu-
ments for the division are that 1t is
difficult to entertain the attendants at
big conferences, and that the Western
conferences have proiited by division.
The chief argument against the change
is that IL would make the conferences
too small for real enthusiasm. This
subject was not decided, and was taken
up again to-day.
