The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1897-03-11

are almost unanimous in anticipating
that the Greek reply to the identical notes
of the powers will not be formal refusal
to abide by their decisions, as since yes
terday morning the tone of the communi-
cations received from Greece by NJ. Han
OtauX, the French minister for foreign
affairs, has been more distinctly pacfic, a
solution being limited at OH the basis of
mutual concessions.
The Fredenblatt of Germany this morn
ing points out that it is by no means GER
tain if Greece provokes war with Turkey
that Servia and Bulgaria will assist her,
as they might find means and concessions
from Turkey for peaceful conquest by
wrestling from Greece the ecclesiastical
province of Thessaly.
The Fredenbatt adds that the powers
will not capitulate to Greece no matter
what pressure is brought to bear on
them, and not one of them will withdraw
| from the threatened coercion of Greece.
This view of the integrity of the con-
cert of the powers is supported by Con-
stantinople dispatches, which announce
that persistent pressure is being exercised

The cOmmuique addressed by the am
bassadOrs to the porte on Friday was in
the form of a memorandum supplement-
| ing the collective note of Tuesday last,
| and pointing out that as the principle of
the proposed autonomy for Crete implied
n progressive reduction of the Turkish
forces in the land, the Turkish troops in
the interior should therefore, be concen-
trated i'll the towns. The reply of the
| Turkish government to this collective
note is expected to be delivered today.
! and the representative of the Associated
! Press at Constantinople learns that it
will state in substance that the porte in
taking cognizance of it, declares to the
powers its resolve to maintain the integri-
| ty of the Ottoman empire, and accepts in
| principle the establishment of an autono-
nous administration for the Island of
| Crete, but the porte reserves the right to
discuss the precise definition of 'auton-
omy."
! The agitation of lovers of liberty in
: favor of Greece is spreading everywhere

ceived from many places this morning.
