FIRM IN HER REsoLVE.

Greece HiH Not BcIC to the Mandate of
the POtCers.
ATHENS, GREECE, March THE time
To- Greece's formal reply to the ultimatum
OF the combined powers is rapidly draw
ing nigh, and though it Is generally known
that that reply will be refusal of the
terms that are sought to be imposed there
is intense anxiety that the answer be de-
Hvered. 1t is known that all Europe is
alert 10 hear the words of Greece, which,
perhaps, will mean much to the armed
millions who have never actually followed
the trade of war. 1t is believed that the
life or death of thousands Of men hangs
upon the words that Greece will speak,
and these words, therefore, are not to be
lightly spoken
But Greece is firm in her resolve not to
bow to the mandate of those so-caIled
Christian powers who have expressed their
willingness to go 10 almost any extreme
TO support the rule of Turkey. The
hitherto impotent concert of Europe will
in few hours find its EN- barrassments in
creased by the defiance of Gieece, and the
Greeks will accept the arbitrament of war
rather than drag their national honor in
the dust by submitting TO the orders of
the allies OF the Turk.
1t is evident that the powers intend to
carry into effect their threat to blockade
the Pir@us, the port of Athens, as soon as
Greece's answer is delivered to them. A
number of the warships of Great Britain
and the other powers are now in the
vicinity of the Pireus, and it is believed
they are there for the sole purpose of
blockading the port.
The one bright spot in the situation to-
day. is that the enforcement OF The recent
decree calling out the last two rem aiming
classes of reserves has been postponed.
In diplomatic circles this is taken TO mean
that there will be afforded an opportunity
for further negotiations, though the tenn
per of the people is against any further
dallYing with words.
