LONDON. May 26.-The aspect of East
ern affairs is less peaceful. Turkey is send
ing seven thousand more troops to Thes-
sally, and it is said that the Sultan has
promised his ministers not TO relax his hold
on that province. The note Of the powers
certainly does not yield on a single point,
and states even that the peace conference
must be held at Constantinople, and not
at Pharsalos, but the sincerity of both Ger
many and Russia is doubted, ard any sign
OF dissension among the powers makes for
ohstinacy on the part of the Sultan.
1t is reported from Vienna that Emperor
Nicholas has advised King George, for his
own safety, to appoint military governor
with exceptional powers and to concentrate
eight thousand picked troops at Athens.

subjects or the annexation of Thessaly, but
is much milder in tone than was at first
understood. The correspondent of the Times
says the note expresses the views of the
powers lin deferentially suggestive
that the Porte will not be allowed to evade
the conditions of the armistice.
A dispatch to the Daily News from Con-
