LONDON, March 9-The Times IN
On euIlorlaI this morning on the reply
VI NIeece considers that she advances
~ convincing argument why they
should not execute their threats Of 60
ercloh. The Daily News thinks that
the reply furnishes a reasonable basis
Tor further negotiations.
1t is stated that Admiral Canevaro
Oh the Italian fleet in command CT the
combined squadrons, proposed as =.
llrst STEP In the event of negative
reply from Greece, that all the powers
! should recall their ministers from
Athens. Probably it will be decided to
enforce a peaceful blockade applying
only to vessels under the Greek flag.
| These would not be confiscated. but
detained only until the blockade was
raised. Much is hoped in the way Of
a solution of the difficulty from Lord
|
influence of the royal family and his
relations upon King George.
Parliamentary papers have been Is
sued containing the full text Of the
notes of the powers to Turkey and
| Greece. The first note to Turkey made
no mention Of the withdrawal Of Turk
ish troops from Crete; but the second
| explained that the scheme Of autonomy
| inD1ia6 rrOoraSSiua reduction nf he
Ottoman forces in the island, and that,
therefore, after Hellenic evacuation,
the Turkish troops must be withdrawn
! to the occupied towns.
| LONDON, March 8.-The reply of
! Greece to the identical note of the
! powers, delivered at Athens on Tues
day last, and insisting upon the with
| draWal of the Greek troops from Crete,
| and of the Greek feet from Cretan
waters, was received here at noon: A
| cabinet council was Immediately held,
after which the Marquis of Salisbury
| went to Windsor in order to consult the
| queen. There was a scene of great
animation at the foreign office. Nearly
every ambassador called there during
! the day.
The reply of Greece Is conciliatory
III tone, fully recognizing the important
objects the powers have in view and
| Cretan waters. Greece, however, points
to the fact that it is impossible for her
to withdraw her troops from that
island, in view of the danger Of further
| ma ssacreS. On the other hand, Greece
| offers to place her troops in Crete under
| the control of the powers in order that
they may be available for the restor-
| alton of order.
The Athens correspondent Of the
Daily Chronicle, says he had authority
! for the statement that the Greek repre-
| sentatiVeS abroad have been instruct
ed to inform the powers that Greece Is
! prepared to recognize the temporary
| suzerainty of the sultan, to withdraw
the Greek fleet completely from Cretan
i waters, and to place the Greek army
| under the command of any military
representative Of powers, senior in
| rank to Col. Vassos, for the sake of
restoration Of order provided the pow
ers will ultimately consent to a Cretan
plebiscite.
| CANEA, March 8.-The report that
the siege of Cnadama had been raised
is not confirmed. Great anxiety is ex-
pressed. The attempt Of British Con-
sui Billiotti to treat with the insurgent
leaders there failed. They told him
they would take orders from no one
! but Col. VassOs.
There was a general feeling cf alarm
last night lest the insurgents might at
tack Halepa; but the men-of-war fash
ed their searchlights continuously and
nothing happened. 1t is rumored tc-
night that the insurgents have attack
ed Gambia, and that fighting Is in
progress outside the town.
This evening the foreign admirals
notified the Greek vice consul that he
must leave Crete. They also wired to
| their respective governments for the
immediate dispatch of 600 men to main
tain order in the large towns. It is
reported early that the siege Of Can
damo has been raised anG that the
! MusSulmans have gone to PalikOsa,
where they are safe.
