HETAlRlA IS IN DISGRACE.
AUTHORS OF WAR POLICY BLAMED
FOR THE DISASTERS OF
GREECE.
Identical Note of the Powers Fixing
Terms Of Peace Handed to the
Sultan.

LONDON. May 26-The aspect Of
Eastern affairs Is less peaceful. Tur-
key is sending 1000 more troops to
Thessaly. and it is said that the sultan
has promised his ministers not to re-
lax his hold upon that province. The
note Of the powers certainly does not
yield on single point, and states even
that the peace conference must be held
at Constantinople and not at Phar-
salos.
A dispatch to the Daily News from
Constantinople says that the identical
note of the powers. which was pre-
sented to the Turkish government yes
terday cTuesday>. embodying the terms
of peace to which they will agree, de-
clines to permit the abolition of the
capitulation In the case Of Greek SUBJ
jects or the annexation Of Thessaly,
but is much milder in tone than was
at first understood. The correspondent
Of the Times says the note expresses
the views of the powers 'in a deferen-
TALLY suggestive FORM"
LONDON, May 26.-The correspon-
dent Of the Times at Athens says: The
torrent Of recrimination, denunciation
and bitter inyeetive, which was check
ed by the fear of the immediate Turk
ish advance to Athens, has broken out
afresh, now that this danger has been
removed by the armistice. The authors
of the war policy, equally with those
who are held responsible for the dis
asters, are being dragged before the
of tho
official culprits are concerned 1t is be-
ieved that the government will ap-
point a commission of inquiry to pun
ish the guilty. A thorough investiga-
tion into the ambulance and commits
sariat departments will probably en-
tail scandalous disclosures. The Eth
nike Hetaria is bitterly denounced and
the government is urged to seize it's
funds, to confiseate its stores and arms
and to compel it to render an account.
The government is not likely to aceede
to this suggestion, because many per-
sons prominent in political life, are
closely connected with the organiza-
ton, and the Hetaria, conscious Of it's
strength, has decided to remain silent
and to preserve its mysterious and in
visible character. Possibly smitten
with compunction, however, the so
ciety has donated sixty thousand
drachmas for the relief Of the Thes-
salian refugees. This is apparently
the best justified item of all it's ex-
penditures
A dispatch to the Standard from
Athens says: The Embros publishes a
sensation in a telegram from LAMA,
declaring that the British Inpen-of-war
at Volo prevented the landing of gums
and ammunition from a Russian man
of-war for the use Of the Turks. The
story is probably untrue, but it irdi-
Gates the prevailing distrust of Russia.
In order to prevent brigandage, the
authorities have given instructions for
the disarming Of members of the Ethnik
hetairia wherever found. In the event
Of resistance they are to be prosecuted
to the full extent of the law.
VIENNA, May 25.-The Neue Freie
Presse publishes a dispatch from Con-
staItinople, saying that Germany has
finally approved the conditions of peace
and that the identical note of the pow
ers on the subject was presented to
the Turkish government today.
Constantinople, May 25.-The coHec-
tive note of the ambassadors Of the
powers on the subject Of Turkish de-
mands upon Greece has not yet been
presented owing to the German am
baSsador at ConStantinople, Baron
Saurnna Won Jeltsch having been forbid
den to sign it until Greece consents to
the peace terms. It is further under
stood that Germany declares that she
will withdraw altogether from mediat-
ing. should the other powers consider
the previous consent Of Greece to be un-
necessary. German:s action is regard
