Be Sent Against Greece.
Baliour Gives But Lille Satisfaction and The
Matter Drops.

| London. Pril 5.-Replying to a ques-
( tiOn as to the negotiations said TO be in
| progress between Greece and Turkey
| for a settlement of the Cretan question,
| Mr. Curzon, in the House of Commons,
! today, said the government had not
| heard of any direct negotiations be-
tween Turkey and Greece on the SUBJ

| Sir William Vernon Harcourt said he
wished TO ask whether the government
leader CA. J. Balfour) could give the
House the date upon which the Turk
| ish troops would be withdrawn from
Crete (Cries on. Continuing, the
Liberal leader asked whether the gov
| ernment intended to employ the forces
Of the crown in blcckading Greece and
whether the government could make
a statement in the House of Commoiis
of the situation in Crete and Greece,
and it's policy in relation thereto?
Mr.. Balfour in reply said the gov-
crnment had. as Sir William knew,
represented to the Turkish government
the advisability of withdrawing the
Turkish troops from the island OF
Crete, and there was no doubt this
eventually would be secured: but no
date fer it could be fixed, if for no other
reason Than because. al present. there
Were not sufficient troops On the
island 10 protect the Mussulman nom
comhatants from the control of the

Sir William Harcourt said the House
was very anxious for full statement
rom the government of the policy it in

ing that the forces of the crown be not
employed against Greece or the people
of Crete.
Mr.. Balfour said that he desired to be

to raise definite vote of censure against

could be confined to the limits of a single

sure, the government would give him
Thursday, but not otherwise.
Sir William Harcourt said that at pres
ert he was not in possession of informa-
tion as to whether the government in
tended to employ the crown forces against
Greece and the people of Crete, therefore
his motion was not vote of censure.
The opposition, he continued. was of
the opinion that coercion was improper
and it was prepared and anxious to take
the opinion Of the House on the subject,
but. the object of the motion was to OBJ
