GREECE ORLECTS.

London, May 19.-The Athens core spondent of tse Daily Chronicle, tele- graphing shortly before midnight last evening, says: The government is becom- ing seriously ,discontened with the dip- lohnatic situation, and the opinion is growing. that it would be better to re- new the. struggle than to submit to the terms ,wounding the national honor. Some of .he powers favor a small in- ldemhaty, a modification of the frontier and elimination of the Greek fleet. But this would, 'neyer be accepted by Greece. She possesses the right to ve:o the deci- sion of the powers. In their original nete the powers called upon her to aban- don her interests to them, but this form was rejected, and tNe words "in trust" were subs tituted for "aba ndon."
