Be Withdrawn From
Thessaly.
TERMS OF PEACE.
Stories Regarding
Them Do Not Agree.

Greece include the payment of an in
demnity of f3,O00,000 ($15,000,O ,O00),
a rearrangement of the Greek frontier
the annulling of the treaties favorins
the Greeks, the cession of the Greek
fleet to Turkey, and the settlement Ut
the Cretan question.
LONDON, May 10.-Apart from the
peace negotiations, the principal feat
ure of the Eastern situation is that
Turkey is pressing refnforcements foc-
ward and preparing for rapid ad-
vance. Unless the powers succeed in
quickly arranging a settlement, the
Greeks are likely to suffer further dis
asters. The exact disposition of the
Greek army is uncertain, but, roughly
speaking, the first line of defense ex-
tends from Almyros to Loucon, the Sec
ond follows the old frontier, and the
third is drawn at Thermopylae. Figth-
ing is probable within the next few
days unless the powers intervene. The
Greek fleet is at Lamia, and the trans
port and other services are still defici-
ent, while a serious outbreak Of ty-
phoid fever and dysentery threatens
Arta.
LONDON, May 10.-The Earl Of
Kimberly, the Liberal leader in the
hosue of lords, asked today whether
Greece had announced her willingness
to withdraw her troops from Crete
and whether she had requested the
powers to mediate with Turkey. The
Marquis Of Salisbury replied that if he
answered in the negative it would be
strictly correct; yet such a reply
might be misleading. Therefore, ne
would say word on the subject.
The Greek government had not asked
for mediation. but members of that
government had expressed desire
for mediation. The Greek government
| as whole. the premier added, did
not intend, to the best of his belief to
ask for mediation. Regarding Crete.
the premier said there is some in
definiteness at the present state of af-
fairs. The Greek government does not
conceive that it will be consistent with
its position to promise an immediate
and definite withdrawal Of the Greek
troops from Crete; but he Qord
Salisbury understood, though the
government had no official information
on the subject, that the Greek gov
ernment is preparing to say that it
will withdraw its troops from Crete
in the not very distant future.
Continuing, the Marquis of Sails
bury said: Il am sorry to say that, as
we stand at present, I do not think
this assurance is entirely satisfactory
to all the powers. However, 1 have
only to answer for ourselves, and our
instructions have been to join in any
procedure for the purpose of enter
ing upon mediation which is accept
able to the others In our view, the
main point is to arrest as far as pos
sible the effusion of blood, and we are
not very particular about the forms.
I regret exceedingly that the Greek
government is more particular about
the forms than the circumstances in
the case justify"
LONDON, May 10.-The Daily Mails
Berlin correspondent says it is report
, ed there that the King of Greece has
summoned M. Delyannis in view Of a
possible cabinet crisis. Mr.. Stevens, the
special correspondent of the Daily
Mail, with the Greek forces in Thessalv
declares that the province has been
lost through rank cowardice. The cor
respondent Of the Daily Mail at Patras
says: Everything is ripe for a serious
political crisis or for revolution. The
army is disgusted, and the armed
peasantry are universally discomfort
ed. The Greek National Society could
not have better opportunity.
