ATHENS, May 1870 great is the
change in public sentiment here that
no opposition whatever is provoked
by the decision to recall the army
from Crete. King George, who was
believed to be unapproachable on
the subject, has finally yielded with
good grace.
The Journal Akropolis publishes
some startling revelations! 1t sent
a correspondent to Pharsalos to in
vestigate the cause of the rout from
Larissa and he was allowed to ques-
tion the members of the dismissed
staff. Without exception they denied
that they had refused to carry out
the orders of the cabinet, save on
one occasion when the government
wished to remove some superior Of
ficers from their command. The Of
ficers positively denied giving the
order for the general retreat from
Matt and declared that they were
not responsible for the abortive at
tack on Menexe.
With reference to the retreat in
Epirus the papers print the follow
ing extraordinary telegram from
slander to say that l ordered the re-
treat. My brigade had advanced
yictorlously to the gates of Janina.
Why it retreated is question for a
court-martial to decide; and the
guilty parties should be punished
with DEATH
ATHENS, May 10.-Greece has
made written application to tie
powers through their representatives aJ
Athens with view of obtaining mediation.

with view to facilitating negotiations, but
Turkey declines to consent to an armistlce
on the grounds that this would enable
Greece to reorganize her forces, As mat
ter of fact, Turkey continues to send troops
from Salonic homeward and 1t is probable
that Osman Pasha has returned to Con-
stantinople from Salonica.

WAS published this afternoon saying the i'm
tween Greece and Turkey will soon have q
