ATHENS, March 16.-It Is the gener-
al belief here that nothing now can pre-
vent war, and that the government has
It's plan OF campaign fully prepared.
The cabinet had long session to-day
as to the attitude to be taken in face Of
the coerclVe programme Of Europe, and
1t is reported that a decision was reach
cd to take active measures. as being the
only solution possible for Greece.
The centre OF interest Is now trans
ferred from Crete to the Macedonian
frontier. 1t is evident from the haste
which the government has displayed in
getting ell It's available troops of by
sea before the commencement Of the
blockade that there is strong convic-
ton that they will be needed at onee.
With the sea route closed, the trans
portation Of troops must be overland
and this would be exceedingly slow and
difficult process, owing to the lack OF
horses and the very incomplete railway
system in the northern portions OF
Greece. Many OF the war correspond
ents have already arrived at Volo, Lar
issa and other frontier points.
Tho Greek officers on the frontier
find the utmost difficulty in restraining
their men, and the departure OF Crown
Prince Constantine for the frontier has
been deferred on the advice Of the gen
erals in command. who fear that his
presence would have a dangerously ex-
citing influence upon the troops.
It Is reported that the Turkish forces
on the Macedonian frontier are raising
a double line Of fortlhcationS and being
constantly reinforced from Salonica.

fecta the stock Market.
LONDON, March 16.-The decision Of
the French chamber OF deputies approv-
ing Of the policy OF France In adhering
to the concert Of the powers has had
a good effect upon the stock exchange
here. ConSoIs went up 5-16. Foreign
securities were firm.
According to the Times dispatch from
Athens, a tendency towards desponden-
cy Is beginning to show itself at the
Greek capital, the "last hope Of a rup-
ture OF the concert OF Europe having
been shattered by the decision Of France
TO Join in the coercion"
The dispatch adds: ''There is much
speculation as 10 whether the forces Of
the powers will proceed to active meas
ureS against Col. VasSos' troops. While
It Is formally announced that orders
have been given TO both the Greek
troops and ships in Crete to oppose
force by force, It may be doubted wheth-
er the orders have really been given.
Brave words, however, are indlspenSn-
Bile in the prevailing popular mood.
The king and the government have no
choice but to swim With the tide"
The Daily Mail says:
"The VnEnrIes OF certain continent

anxloty to his family and especially TO
the diplomats, who recognize that tho
concert OF Europe may at any moment

ing 10 trip them with his sword are
among the antics attributed TO the In
sane sovereign"
The paragraph unmistakably hints at
Emperor William Of Germany.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March a.
An interesting complication, 1t is said
is likely to arise in the near future be-
tween the English embassy and the
Spanish legation here over the hlibus-
tering steamer Bermuda. The recent
prolonged trip Of the Bermuda from
Philadelphia to Bermuda and back TO

ed, but It is said to beCertatn that she
did not take on arms or men from the
United States.
II she has been engaged in flIlibuster-
ing she must have taken on her cargo
and men on the high seas. AS the Ber"
muda is a British vessel, she is believ-
ed to be liable under the British foreign
enlistment act rather than the Amer1-
can neutrality laws. and therefore the
British and Spanish diplomats here, It
is expected, will exchange notes on the
subject. Last summer the British en-
bassy took away the BermudRs Brit
ish register on representations OF the
Spanish government, but It was EeStoFS
ed q few months ago at Halifax.

priRtIons for West Virginia rivers, Is one
OF the measures to be thus disposed of,
