M Delyannis made the following
statement this evening: yesterday
King George summoned me to the pal
ace and declared that exceptional cir
cumstances compelled him to replace
the cabinet and to form a new ministry
from the ranks of the opposition. He
begged me to second his effort. I re-
fused to tender my resignation, not be-
cause of my love of mower, but in order
that such a step might not be misinter-
preted. I urged the king to use the
privilege Of the crown, declaring that
was ready to sig nthe royal decree. pro-
vided the latter cast no blame upon u.s.
I added that there was no reason to
fear that such a measure would be
considered by EurSpe as a censure up
on the governments policy. Judgment
would be formed as to that after the
new cabinet had been tried"
M. Delyannis added: "I cannot divulge
the policy which considered necessary.
I can only say that the country would
have emerged from its trial without loss
of territory and could have obtained
rectification of the northern frontier
by abandoning Crete, according to the
demands of the powers The latter meas
ure would have facilitated the task, in
asmuch as the principle of Ottoman in
tegrity would not have been impaired,
while the peace of Europe would have
been assured, because of the rectifica-
tion of the frontier line adjudged in the
treaty of Berlin"
RALLTS MODESTY
ATHENS, April 29.-During the nego-
tiations for the reconstruction of the
ministry from the Opposition, Mr.. Rail-
opposed the motion to make M. Sotir-
opoulo premier and said: Setting aside
ell false modesty, must be recognized.
I am the premier DESIGNATED by events"
The Opposition leaders acquiesced in
this view, but NJ. Deliogeorgis refused
to join the ministry unless the premier
were chosen outside the regular con-
stituted parties in the boule. To this
M. Ralli replied that he could not and
would not attempt to form a ministry
without the support of the other oppo-
sition sections in the assembly, and he
tried to induce M. Deliogeorgis to go In.
The public tension is much relieved by
the change of ministers, and 1t is now
believed that all serious danger of in
ternal disorders is removed.
Owing to the absence of NJ. Teotoaki.
the new cabinet will not take the oath
until tomorrow.
M. Delyannis appears to be assured of
a majority of the legislative assembly.
but it is probable that he will support
the cabinet.
The new ministers, on the other hand,
are confident of obtaining a working
majority, owing to defections from their
opponents The city tonight is exceed
ingly quiet
RALLTS POLICY
LONDON, April 29.-The Daily Tele-
graphs correspondent at Athens had an
Interview with M. Ralli this afternoon,
during which the Greek statesman out
lined his policy. M. Ralli said: my
policy will consist in the reorganization
of the army, whose recuperative forces
are practically inexhaustible and re-es-
tablishment Of order, together with a
satisfactory solution of our foreign rela-
tions. We refuse to accept mandate
from the king or from the chamber. We
must have absolutely free hand"
The Athens correspondent of the
Times had an interview with M. Del
yannis today, who declared he would
use his influence with his followers not
to hamper the new cabinet, as the pres
ent time was pre-eminently unsuitable
for internal discord. He said he had
declined to offer his resignation because
to have done so would have been coward
ly. The cabinet desired to remain in Office
to take all the consequences of its acts
ard to have an opportunity to defend it's
policy.
