Tie Powers Ready to Mediate Between Greece
and Turkey.

LONDON, May lO.-Apart from the
peace negotiations the principal feature
eff the Eastern situation is that Turkey
is pressing reinforcements forward and
preparing for rapid advance. Unless
the powers succeed in quickly arranging
a settlement, the Greeks are likely to
suffer further disasters The exact dis
position of the Greek army is uncertain,
but roughly speaking, the first line of
defence extends from Almyros to Lou
con, the second follows the old frontier
and the third is drawn at Thermople.
Fighting is probable within the next
few days unless the Powers intervene.
The Greek fleet is at Lamia and the
transport and ether services are still.
London, May 1O.-The Daily Mails
correspondent says it is reported that
the King of Greece has summoned M.
Delyannis,in view of possible Cabinet
crisis.
Mr.. Stevens, the special correspo dent
of the Daily Mail with the Greek forces
in Thessaly, declares that the province
has been lost through rank cowardice.
The correspondent of the Daily Mail
at Patras says: "Everything is ripe for
a serious political crisis or a revolution.
The army is disguised and the armed
peasantry are universally discontented.
The Greek National Society could not
have better opportunity"
Athens, May 1O.-The recall of the
forces from Crete has been received
with resignation by the public.
The Delyannis organs attack the gov
ernment most bitterly for appealing to
Europe, but most of the papers accept
this as inevitable and violently attack
the Ethnike Hetairia, asking it to
render an account of it's action.
The Greek army now occupies all the
passes south of Domokos to Gura, on
the east, the latter point being occupied
by Gen. Smolenski's brigade. Skir-
mishes have occurred at Plaka.
London, May 10.-The Athens cor
respondent of the Times says; The
Greek army has been compelled to
abandon Salagora and Fort Imaret, the
Turks having occupied the heights
commanding the latter.
Larissa, May 10.-The Turks have
no doubt whatever as to the speedy
capture of Domokos, although the place
is fairly well defended.
Athens, May 10.-The conditions in
sisted upon by Germany, the chief of
which is that Greece shall give her for
NAL consent to the principle of auton-
omy for Crete will be accepted by the
Greek Government.
The note of the Powers has not yet
been presented, but it has been drawn
and is to the following effect:
upon Characterization by Greece
that she will recall her troops and agree
to such an autonomous regime for
Crete as the Powers in their wisdom
shall deem best, and accept unreserved-
ly the counsels of the Powers, they will
intervene in the interests of peace"
The note will probably be presented
tomorrow after the German minister
has received final instructions. 1t is
understood that Greece, in her reply,
will assent to all of these conditions,
$50 p. mn. Ralli Premier, and M.
Skouloudis, Minister Of Foreign Affairs,
had long interview this afternoon
with Mr.. Egerton, the British repre-
which has caused consider
able comment. 1t is believed to be
connected with the expected interven-
tion of the Powers.
A dispatch from Domokos says that
the heavy rains there prevent fighting.
