LONDON. Dec. lathe conference between the
Amalgnmatcd Society OF Engineers and the EN-
ployers' Federation was resumed to-day. 1t was

assumed by them prior to the taking OF

THE GREEKS n TURKS.

The result of the attack made yester-
day by the Turks, $4,000 strong, on the
left wing and centre of the Greeks at
Domokos was the retreat of the Greeks.
The London Telegraph's special cor
respondent with the Turkish forces in
Thessaly telegraphing late last night
saws Edhem Pasha has moved on from
point to point and finally occupied Do
mokos. The Greeks have sustained q
crushing defeat.
There is much anxiety at the Greek
capital and comforting of ministers lead
ing to the belief that the news from
the front is worse than the published
dispatches indicate. On Saturday
there was some fighting in Epirus, the
Greeks being repulsed after suffering
severe loss.
Nj. Rail-, the Greek premier, urges
upon the representatives of foreign
powers that Turkey ought to cease
fighting, now that the Greek armies
have received orders to act wholly on
the defensive. The Sultan, however,
seems to be disposed to continue the
fighting as long as there is q Greek
army to oppose him.
There are Indications that all the
powers will oppose the retrocession Of
Thessaly, but will concede a strategic
rectiGcation of the frontier" and an in
demnity of some $4,000, 900. If it was
impossible for them to 60 10 war with
Greece to get the Greek troops out of
Crete, how, it was asked, will they get
the Turks out of Thessaly, if the latter
are equally obstinate ? But the objec-
ton to making war upon Greece to
prevent her making wal on Turkey was
largely that Greece Is a Christian
country, whereas Turkey being Mo-
hammedan, there would be less aver
sion to going to war with her to stop
her war with Greece. The situation is
complicated.
1t is rumored in Vienna, Berlin and
London that a plot to murder King
George has been discovered in Athens
and that many arrests of persons said
to be implicated in the plot have been
made. In addition to this report a
number of revolutionary stories are in
circulation.

HostiIitics To &c asc.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, May 1S.-There
wss a sudden and unexpected change
in the political situation to-day. Rus.
STA quietly showed her hand and there
by forced Germany and Turkey out
of the game, to all intents and pur-
poses. Last night and early this morn
ing Turkey. supported by Germany,
was practically defving Russia, France,
Austria, Great Britain and Italy, insist
ing upon the annexation of Thessaly
in addition to huge war indemnity and
seemingly was determined to march
upon Athens. The ministers received
official advices from Sofia to-day an
nouncing that orders had been issued
for the partial mobilization of the Bull
garian army, possibly at the instigation
of Russia. There was a hurried consul
tation of the ministers. The wal party
was for further defiance, but in the end
pacific counsels seem to have prevailed,
for orders were ~telegraphed to Edhem
Pasha, the Turkish commander-in-
chief in Thessaly, to cease hostilities.
The peace negotiations will now be I'M
dertaken in real earnest and the
Greeks will most likely be spared any
further humiliation.
BERLIN, May 1S.-It is announced
that the German ambassador at Con-
stantinople has been instructed to co.
operate with the other ambassadors in
the efforts to secure an armistice be-
tween Turkey and Greece.
ATHENS, May 1S.-A telegram this
morning announces that the Greeks
have abandoned Domokos and Amy
ros. Gen. Smolenski is %retreating on
Kephalosi. Colonels Vassos and Linn
bicis start for the front to day with the
whole of the garrison of Athens.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, May 1S.-Later in
the day it was officially announced that
the Turks occupied Domokos last
evening after a great battle. 1t is ex-
pected that the official announcement
of the cessation of hostilities between
the Turks and Greeks will be published
this evening.
ATHENS, May 1S.-The Turks have
hoisted the white flag at Arta, from
which it is judged that the Turkish
commander has received instructions
that an armistice has been agreed upon.
