Outbreak ofHostilies Imminent

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Apl. 9.-The war
preparations throughout the Turkish
empire continue to be pressed. A very
pessimistic feeling prevails here at the
failure of the powers attempts to CO.
cree Greece. The blockade of the
Piraeus seems as far off as ever
and the war party is bringing
pressure to bear upon the government.
The belief prevails here that the pow
ers are losing their hold over the course
of events and that the so-called con-
cert of the powers is failure.
LARIssA, Greece, Apl. 9.-In spite OF
intelligence received here yesterday,
saying that the powers have arranged

here here that bands of insurgents
which have appeared at different points
in Macedonia may force an outbreak OF
hostilities.
CANEA, Crete, April 9.-The garrison
of Kissamo has been under continu-
GUS fusilade from the insurgents, who
killed two soldiers to-day. Later in
