Turkey Sending Seven Thousand
More Troops to Thessaly.
THE DEMANDS OF THE POWERS.

The Collective Note Insists That Thes-
sally Shall Not BE Added to the sui
tan's Domains-Hints Against the
omcers OF the Defeated Greeks.
London, May 26-A dispatch to TIE
Daily News from Constantinop'e says
that the identical note Of the rowers.
which was presented to the Turkish
government yesterday, embodying the
terms of peace to which they Will
agree, declines to permit the abolition
of the capitulatons in the case Of
Greek subjects 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 deferentially suggestive
form"
The aspect of eastern affairs is GER
tainy less peaceful. Turkey is sending
1000 more troops to Thessaly and it is
said the sultan has promised his min
listers. not to relax his hold upon the
province.
The note Of the powers certainly
does not yield on a single point and
must be held at Constantinople, and
not at Pharsalos, but the sincerity of
both Germany and Russia is doubted
and any sign of dissension among the
powers makes for obstlnacy on the
part of the sultan.
1t is reported from Vienna that En-
peror Nicholas has advised King
George, for his own safety to appoint
a military governor with exceptional
powers and to concentrate 5000 picked
troops at Athens.
Times Athens dispatch says: The
torrent of recrimination denuncia-
tion and bitter invectives which was
checked by the fear of the immediate
Turkish 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
disasters, are being dragged before the
bar of public opinion. So far as the
official culprits are concerned, it is be-
lieved that the government will ap-
point a commission of inquiry to pun
ish the guilty. A thorough investiga-
tion into the ambulance and commi-
sariat departments will probably entail
scandalous disclosures.
The Ethnike Hetairia is bitterly de-
nounced, and the government is urged
to seize it's funds, to conhscate it's stores
and arms, and to compel it to render
an account. The government is not
likely to accede to this suggestion, be-
cause many persons prominent in po-
litical life are closely connected with
the organization, and the Hetairia.
conscious of it's strength, has decided
to remain silent and to preserve it's
mysterious and invisible character.
Possibly smitten with compunction,
however, the society has donated go, 600
drachmas for the relief of the ThessaI-
ian refugees. This is apparently the
best justified item of all it's expendi-
lures.
The Embros publishes a sensation in
telegram from Lamia declaring that
the British men of war at Volo pre-
vented the landing of guns and ammu-
milton from a Russian man of war for
the use of the Turks. The story is
probably untrue, but it indicates the
prevailing distrust Of Russia.
In order to prevent brigandage the
authorities have given instructions for
the disarming Of members of the
/ Ethnike Hetairia wherever found. In
the event of resistance they are to be
/ prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
The United States cruiser Cincinnati
has arrived at Phalerum.
