Greece Responsible for All the Trouble In
Crete, and Grecians Must Suffer IL the
Horrors of War Are P~recipitated by Her
Obstinacy-The Powers Will Not Consent
That She Derlvs Any
ST. PETERSBURG. April 5.-The Jour
nal de St. Petersburg (semi-othcla)
says:
THE aggressive and provocative at
titude that Greece maintains with SUCH
de~plorable obstinacy compels the pow
ers to blockade the Gulf of Athens.
Greece, by keeping Col. Vassos in Crete,
is exposing the Cretans to all b dis
advantages of blockade there. She
illustrates the restoration of peace,
she prevents the powers from
learning the real wishes of
the inhabitants of Crete, which
can only be ascertained by the
powers after the removal of an inter-
ested pressure. The reports of the
consuis in Greece, and of the admirals
of the international fleets show the
utter impossibility at the present mo-
ment of communicating directly with
the Cretans, who are subjected to the
overwhelming influence of the Greek
detachment in the island.
Col. Vassos has practically declared
war against the powers
Moreover, certain ~extravagant and
habitral fomenterS of disorder hyster-
ically advocate a declaration of war by
Greece against Turkey on the 9th OF
April, or on the date when a blockade
of Greece commences.
I'VE refuse to believe that any such
extraordinary act of folly will be COM
mitted, but in the event of it happen
ing, Greece will certainly have TO en-
dure the most serious consequences
If Greece wishes war at any price, she
car count on the support of no one,
whatever the result may be of a con-
fict so w~antonly provoked. The
powers will never consent to the ag-
gressors deriving the slightest advan-
tage from victory in such a struggle.
After the powers have exhausted
all possible meas at their disposal to
spare Greece the sufferings she has
drawn upon herself, they are not bound
to disturb themselves further. Their
complete agreement is the surest guar
antee of the final victory of order,
right and fairness. and the pledge for
the maintenance of the general peace
of Europe, even in the event of partial
disturbances. created by Greece, which
the powers will know how to localize
and, if necessary, to suppress"

How the Trouble in Crete Can Be Speedily
Ended in a Way Honorable to Ali Par
ties-Tdrkish Evacuation and Withdrawal
of Greek Army From the Erontier.to Re
Followed by Joint Grecian and European
Occupation of Crete.
LONDON, April 5.-The Times pub
fishes the following dispatch from its
Athens correspondent:
The crux of the situation is the
presence of Col. Vassos and his army in
Crete. The powers insist on with
drawal, but neither King George nor
the government cares to comply. 1t is
believed, however, that the difficulty
may be surmounted in the following
way:
The first step would be the with
drawal of the Turkish forces from
Crete. This would not only remove
the suspicious of the Cretans. but
would make it possible for Col. Nassos
and the army to return from Crete
with a certain amount of prestige.
The prior retirement of the Turkish
army would be less offensive to the
sultan's amour propre THAI the stimuli

the powers, and the arrangement to be
reached would be n concerning him
and them exclusively.
The order for the recall of the
Greek army from the frontier would
Immediately follow. Greece having
thus abandoned her contumacious at
titude. the powers might intrust her
with n mandate to occupy Crete in the
name of the sultan, as when Austria
received a mandate from Europe to oc-
cupy Bosnia and Herzegovina.
. Thus legally empowered, Greece
could send another army under another
commander to Crete to occupy the in
terror of the island, while the interna.
tional occupation of the seaports might
continue until measures had been taken
for the repatriation, or, possibly, the
partial emigration, of the Mohammedar
refugees. Eventually the Greek occupa-
ton would become general, the powers
having in the meantime decided upon
the form of the new constitution, with
such guarantees as might be demanded
by Europe for the protection of the
Mahommedan minority which would
be readily accorded by Greece"
