WHAT WILL THEY DO?

II Powers Couldn't Compel Greece to Get
Out Of Crete, How About Thessa'y7
CoNsTANT1NoPLE, May l8.-The rep.
resentatives of the powers here held u
long meeting and drew up q note which
will be presented to the Turkish gov.
eminent as soon as one Of the ambas.
sailors receives the necessary instruc.
lions from his government. This note
does not deal with the peace conditions
but merely repeats the request for an
yarmistice, an declares the powers
will not permit Grtece to be crushed.
Although it is assumed in some quar-
ters that the porte, in accordance With
Eastern usage, has demanded more, in
order to obtain less, it is pointed out
that if the Turkish government de-
sired to bargain, it would not have
formulated its conditions officially.
The tone of the military officials here
and elsewhere is most emphatically
against abandoning Thessaly. They
argue that if Europe has been unable
to make Greece evacuate the island OF
Crete, how will Europe be able to force
Turkey out Of Thessaly?

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Refers Only to the Dest.tution of Amer
lean Citizens In Cuba.
WASHINGTON, May 1S.-President
Mckinley has sent the following mes
sage to congress.
10 the Senate and House Of Representa-
tives:
Official information from our consuls In
Cuba establishes the fact that IL large
number of American citizens in the island
arc in a state of restitution, suffering Tor
want of food and medicines.
This applies particularly to the rural
districts of the central and eastern parts.
The agricultural classes have been
forced from their farms into tho nearest
towns, where they are without work or
money.
The local authorities Of the several
towns, however kindly disposed, are ur-
able to relieve the needs of their own peo-
pie, and are altogether powerless to help
our citizens.
The latest report of Consul General Lee
estimates 600 to 800 Americans without
means of support. have assured him
that provision would be made at once to
relieve them. To that end, l recommend
that congress make an appropriation OF
not less than $4,000 to be Immediately
available under the direction Of the secre-
tary of state.
It is desirable thata part Of the sum
which may be appropriated by congress
should, in the discretion of the secretary
of state, also be used for the Transporter
ton of American citizens who, desiring to
return to the United States, arc without
means to do so.
