say that there was no ground whatever
for the suspicion of Sir Charles Dixie
that this autonomy. which the govern
ment desired to make ample and Gear.
was regarded from any other point OF
view by the other powers.
! Referring to the negotiations which are
said 60 have taken place between Greece
and Turkey direct for the settlement Of
/ the Cretan question. Mr.. Curzon said
/ that il there had been negotiations on the
subject between the sultan and Greece.

island OF Crete, Mr.. Curz0n asserted this
would open the door leading 70 an almost
immediate and pacific settlement OF the
question.

out. many thousands OF helpless ana de-
fenceless people had been protected by
the forces Of the powers. and taelr ad-
mirals had one .nestimable work in the

Carrisons al outlying posts and obtain
command OF the outpOsts commanding
the towns occupied by the forces Of Tie
popwers. They had also tried to cut of
the wafer supply ard had even engaged
in fighting with the European troops. Mr.
Curzon was glad 70 be able 10 add that

ard Turkey. RE insisted that the govern
ment had strained every nerve 10 prevent !
an outbreak Of hoS-ilities. which. he
claimed, the government would 0n.y re-
gard as calamitous 70 Greece and as con-
sttuting grave menace 10 the peace Of /
