WAR UNAVOIDABLE.
GREECE AND TURKEY MUST HAVE
A LITTLE TILT.
That's the General Opinion AbrOad-Ger-
many Will Probably be the Only One
Of the Powers to Take hand.

luG
The general opinion here is that
war against Turkey is unavoidable.
1t is be lieved that the armed bands
sent out by the National League to
different points in Espiruis and Mace
donia will give the signal for the
struggle and the Greek army on the
frontier will then proceed to an inva-
sion of the Turkish territory.
The gunboats Action and Ambra-
va, with the gun vessel Aphroessa,
have been ordered to blockade the
gulf of Aria in order to prevent the
landing of Turkish troops.
The papers criticise favorably the
governments reply to the note of the.
Powers.
The Greek vice-cOnsul in Canea, NJ.
Barklis, having been forcibly convey
ed on board the Alphios, by orders of
the Italian commandant, AmOrette,
the Greek government has protested
to the ministers of the great powers
against the action of the soldiers.
New York, March 10.-A special to
the Herald from Canea says:
The Turks at Candamo have been
relieved by n detachment of marines
from the foreign warships.
The insurgents have attacked Fort
Hierapetru on the refusal of the Turk
ish garrison to surrender. Thereupon
the foreign warships bombarded the
insurgents positions and the latter
We're forced to withdraw.
Correspondents of Greek newspap-
erS, in case they do not leave the
| island as ordered, will be forcibly
| transported to Cerigo, on board tor
pedo boat. A similar notice of eXpul-
| sion has been served on all Greeks
remaining in Canea.
Nj. Barls, the Greek vice-consul who
was ordered to leave Canea by Com
mandant Amoretti, under pain of be-
ing treated as a prisoner, and who re-
fused to submit except by force, was
taken off by an Italian steam launch
with a dragoman of the consulate,
and placed on board a Greek vessel.
| Fighting took place between Turkish
troops and insurgents at the outpOsts
| in AkrOtiri. Numbers were wounded
and brought to town.
New York, March 10.-A special to
the Herald from ConstantinOple says:
The evasive answer of Greece to the
| Powers has been made known here.
Seeing that the Powers have not yet
changed their views respecting the
| measures to be taken in case of re-
fusal the diplomatic circle here is of
the opinion that it will be impossible
to have recourse to eventual coercive
measures before the expiration Of two
weeks. 1t is rather believed that the
Powers will continue to negotiate with
Greece to come to amicable arrange
ment.
However, the possibility of separate
action on the part of Germany against
Greece is not disseminated. In that
case it is not supposed that other Pow
ers will interfere, since they would on
ly reap the advantage should Germany
eventually compromise her position in
| the east.
Canea, Island of Crete, March 10
The reply of Greece to the demands
of the Powers for the evacuation of
the island by the Greek troops and
the withdrawal of the Greek fleet
from Cretan waters was acted upon
promptly to some extent by at least
two Powers. This morning the Brit
with troops, evidently part of the for
eign force which as the admirals re-
commended, will occupy all the prin-
cipal seaport towns of the island, ar
rived here. The Turks assert that
these troops will be used to drive the
Greek forces from Crete, but the be-
lief is not shared by the foreign pop
ulatfon generally. Owing to the re-
ceipt of advices saying that band of
armed volunteers from Greece We're
on their way to Crete with the inten-
ton of reinforcing the Cretan insur-
gents, the foreign admirals agreed to
dispatch a cruiser to prevent their
landing. The Mussulmans besieged
at Candamo, have arrived here on
board the Italian warship.
Constantinople, March 10.-It is an
nounced here that $1,000 Turkish
troops are now concentrated on the
Greek frontier and it is understood in
Turkish military circles that the |
Greek forces sent into Thessaly do not |
exceed 1900 men.
Berlin, March 10.-A dispatch to the
Cologne Gazette from Gambia. Island
of Crete, says: Il
In the fight between the force or
BasoukS and a detachment OF lnsur-
gents before the gates Of the town,
60 Turks were killed or wounded. The
dispatch further announces that firing
between opposing forces continues
and the town is threatened with in
cendiarism.
London. March 10.-It is stated here
that secret orders were received for
the first army corps including the
