WAR C0nIHlI;NCIiA}.

While the great Powers have been
tnGearorng to ''pacify" the Cretans,
and bring about what they were pleased
bles between that people and the Turks,
war has broken out between Greece and
Turkey. and it remains to be seen what
next the Powers may do.
Hcforc the commencement Of hostili-
tics they declared that in event OF war
between Turkey and Greece the great
nations ut Europe would not permit
any advantage to acrue to either, no
matter which was the vanquishcd. but
just how they will prevent such Il re-
suit Is not apparent. Christian Europe
Is already Disguised ut the unholy al
lance against their brethren in Crete
aud Greece, and 1t VIII hardly be safe
Tor the Powers TO attempt TO deprive
them Of the benefits OF their triumph
over the Turks should the war end in
their favor, nor win they Should the
war he prolonged for any great length
or time and Greece prove the victor, It
Is not unreasonable to suppose that the
dismemberment OF the Turkish Empire
will follow.
The principal question which might
hinder ii might be the inability of the
Powers to settle upon 4 distribution of
the territory to be partitioned. If this
point could be satisfactorily settled no
one believes for a moment that the
Powers would hesitate to undertake the
acknowledgment of the Turkish domain.
