London, May the Rome correspond
ent OF the Daily Mail says. Private news
from Athens which has escaped censor
ship shows the position OF royalty there
10 be more perilous than ever. The mem-
bers OF the royal family rarely leave the
palace and their portraits have been with
drawn from the public view. When the
queen and princesses vlsis the hospitals
they are openly insulted IN the streets.
The palace Is watched by revolutionary
agents lest their malesti,S should attempt
To fiee from the country.

salos was at first received With consterna-
tion hut the public has ALREADY accepted

tated by prudence. II is generally felt that

has Vindicated the reputation OF the Greek
army and wiped out the disgrace OF Matt
aud I.arissa. The nations honor Is untsr-
nished. But while all this Is so. the old
belllcose enthusiasm OF the Athenlans has
vanished completely. ON all sides the de-
sire for peace Is expressed and should the
government invoke the Intervention OF the
powers II would probably be supported by
public opinion. The anti-roysl feeling -
Nisibly diminished. The demonstration
