TURKEY TO STAND FIRM.

Determined Not to Yield to European
Pressure.
CoNsrANT1NoPLE, May 20.-An official
of the Turkish foreign Office in an inter.
view, after dwelling upon the provoca.
tive attitude of Greece and the earnest
efforts made by Turkey to prevent war,
said:
During the month 8 war Turkey has
suffered serious loss in life and property,
and the peace conditions put forward
cannot but be regarded as moderate and
as wholly justified. Nevertheless, the
government is possibly prepared to mod.
ify it's demands in regard to the indem-
nifty and the cession of Thessaly, in view
of the bankrupt condition Of Greece and
as proof of it's pacific desires. In regard
to the
Abolition of the Capitulations
in favor of Greek subjects in Turkey, it
is impossible for the government in the
interests of the country to make any
notifications. Even Servia and Rou-
mania, in every sense the superiors of
Greece, have not these privileges, and
Greece cannot be allowed to retain ex-
ceptional rights which she has so scan
dalously abused. It is confidently
hoped, therefore, that Europe will have
sufficient sense Of justice not to press
Turkey. Upon this point she is deter
mined not to yield, and should Europe
attempt to impose a sacrifice by force Of
arms the situation created would be
most detrimental to general peace"

THE GREEDY SULTAN.
he WANTS THEssALv FROM
GREECE.
Having Put . Powerful Army Into the
Field He IL Not Disposed to Bend the
Knee to the Powcrs- Probable Thst
His Army win Advance to Athens-

Consta antinople. May 18.-The porte
has replied officially to the note OF the
powers and declines to agree to an
armistice until the following condi-
tions are accepted:
The annexation OF Thessaly. an In
demnity of f1O,OO0.OO0 Turkish and the
abolition of the capltulatiOns. The
porte proposes that plenipOtentiaries OF
the powers should meet Mt Pharsala TO
discuss the terms OF peace. and de-
clares that II these conditions are de-
clined, the Turkish army will continue
to advance.
The demand for the annexation Of
Thessaly is based upon the fact that
the province WAS originally ceded to
Greece on the advice Of the powers
with the object OF ending brigands and
Greek incursions into Ottoman terri
tory. the porte believing at this time
that the cession would attain these OBJ
jects. but the recent incursions OF
Greek bands and the events immedi-
ately preceding the war have proved to
the contrary This is the substance OF
the reply.
The ambassadors met to-day to con-
slider the porte's answer which is re-
garded as raising an extremely grave
issue 1t is believed that representa-
lions VIII DE mnue TO tne Sultan per-
sonally TO induce modification of
these terms. hut 1t is foreseen that this
will be very difficult, owing to the at
titude OF the powerful old Turk war
party.
If the porte should prove obdurate a
European conference fs not improb-
able. although at present Russia is OPP
posed to this.
1t is regarded as quite certain that
the powers will not consent to Il retro
cession of Thessaly. Even Germany is
believed to be resolute on this point.
because 1t would involve violation Of
the Berlin treaty and imperil the peace
Of the Balkans.
Altogether the reply OF the porte
has caused the greatest surprise. 1t
appears that during the discussion of
the note from the powers by the coun-
ell of the Sultan's ministers. news
reached the council that 5000 Greeks
had landed at Palona and were march,
ing to Janina with the intention of CO.
operating with other forces from Arta.
This created bad impression among
the ministers.
