THE POWERS POSITION.
Greek Occupancy Of Crete Prevents Settlement
Of Trouble Of Powers.

ST. Petersburg April 5.-The Journal De
St Petersburg (Semi-offician SAID:
The aggressive and provocative attitude
that Greece maintains with such deplor-
able obstinacy CompelS the Powers to
blockade the Gulf of Athens. Greece. by
keeping Col. Nassos in Crete, is exposing
the Cretans to all the disadvantages of
a blockade there. She illustrates the
restoration of peace; she prevents the
Powers from learning the real wishes OF
the inhabitants of Crete. which can only
he asked by the Powers after the removal
of the influence of an Interested pressure.
The reports OF the consuls in Crete.
and of the admirals of the fleets show the
utter impossibiity at the present moment
OF communicative directly with the
Cretans, who are subjected 10 the over
whelming influence of the Greek detach-
nent in the island and kept back in places
from the European negotiators.
Col. NaSSoS has practically declared
war against the Powers moreover. and
certain eXtravagant and habitual foment-
ors of. disorder Historically advocate a
declaration OF war by Greece against
Turkey on the sixth of April or on the
day when a blockade of Greece COM
mences.
I'VE refuse to believe that any such
extraordinary act of folly will be COM
mitted: but in the event of il happening.
Greece will certainly have to endure the
most serious consequences. II Greece
wishes war at any price, she can count
on the suppor of no one. whatver the
result may be of a conflict so wautony
provoked. The Powers will never con-
sent to the aggressors deriving the
slightest advantage from victory in such
q struggle.
After the Powers have exhausted all
possible means at their disposal to spare
Greece the Sufferings she has drawn up
ON herself. they are not bound to disturb
themselves further. Their complete
agreement is the surest guarantee of the
final victory of order. right and fairness
and the best pledge for the maintainance e
of general peace of Europe. even in the
event of partial disturbances created by
Greece who the Powers will know how
to localize, and il necessary to suppress. y
