nrmlstcc until the following condl.

armistice until the following condi.
tions are accepted:
The annexation of Thessaly. an In
demnity of f10.OOO,0OO Turkish and the
abolition of the capitulatons. The
porte proposes that plcnlpotcntiaries of
the powers should meet ut Pharsala to
discuss the terms of peace. and de-
clarcS 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 cesslon would attain these OBJ
jccts. but the recent incurSionS of
Greek bands and the events immcdi-
ntely preceding the war have proved to
the contrary. This is the substance OF
the reply.
The ambassadors met today to con-
slider the porte's answer which is re-
gnrded MS raising an extremely grave
issue. 1t is believed that representa-
tionS VIII be made TO the Sultan per-
sonally to induce modification Of
these terms. but 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 obduratc a
European conference Is 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 retro
casslon of Thessaly. Even Germany is
believed to be resolute on this point.
because II would involve n violation of
the Berlin treaty and impcril the peace
of the Balkans.
Altogether the reply Of the porte
has caused the greatest surprise. 1t
appears that during the discussion of
the notc from the powers by the coun-
ell Of the Sultnn's ministers. news
reached the council that 5000 Greeks
had landed at palpna and were march
ing To Janina with the intention of CO.
operating with other forces from Arta.
This created a bad impression among
the ministers.

liberal views as to the drama, which ne

The Greek patriarch issues an official
report that there were 700 persons
killed, including a number of Greeks,
in the recent massacre at Tokat. The
porte, fearing an outbreak here, las
arrested eighty Armenian suspects. 1t
is stated that the sultan is soliciting an
explanation through the Turkish am
bassador at st. Petersburg of the con-
centration of Russian troops upon the
Turkish frontier. On the other hand,
the rumor is revived of the existence
of secret treaty, by the terms Of which
Russia undertakes to uphold the in
tegrity Of Turkey, who thereby becomes
her vassal. 1t is alleged that there can
be no other reason for Russia's unex-
pected attitude toward Greece.
