KING GEORGE IN MUCH
DANGER.
He May Be Overthrow or AS
sassinated at any Moment.

LONDON, April ga dispatch re-
ceived at one of the embassies here
from Athens says that King George
OF Greece may at any moment1be de-
posed or assassinated and that the
mob is likely to take possession of
the city. The dispatch adds that the
worst is feared.
A special dispatch from Athens
says the Greek minister of marine
has resigned
An extraordinary session of the
Boule, or legislative assembly, has
been called for this afternoon. The
different leaders of the opposition
have been called to the palace.
The fact that a cabinet meeting
was held here this morning before
the return, expected on Thursday,
OF the Marquis of Salisbury, is held
to indicate that matters of urgency
are under consideration.
dispatch from Constantlnople says that
the European cabinets are exchang gin2 views
with regard to the expendiency OF mediat-
ing between Turkey and Greece, 1t is now
believed Edham Pasha will occupy the port
of Volo and the important wn of Trikhala,
almost due west of Lqrissa and about forty
miles from that place, with the view of
strengthening his position.
THEN DEMAND ON GREECE.
The Turkish government will then call
upon Greece to evacuate he island of Crete
on the condition that the Ottoman troops
are withdrew from Thessaly. After the
oc-upa'ion of Trikha!a by the Turkish
forces, the Greeks in Epirus will find them
selves between the troops under Ahmed
fzi padha uy,1 o<-G .aha
In all probability the Greek nation will
try one more great battle, and if defeated
in this it is not unlikely that there will be a
change in the royal family at Athens. Dis
content is growing and the king will be the
scapegoat.
The situation in the country and in Athens
particularly, is growing more and more
serious. The news and truth about the
Larissa campaign are just becoming known
and cause in all classes deep feeling of in
dignation and sorrow. People go to ex-
tremes and declare all the business of the
war was comedy got up by the government
and king.
OPEN TALK OF TREASON.
The word treason is freely used. This is
not the opinion of the irrespon'ible, but of
the better lasBes, as one, in this instance,
with the ass of the people. All the facts
about the defeat prove that the fault lies
with the staff lacking knowledge of the bust
ness of war and pluck in danger.
The chief of staff, Sapountzakis, wired
Friday asking leave to Withdraw his troop
from the first line, which he thought it was
impossible to defend. The king answered
that it was impossible to allow or forbid, as
events could not be judged from Athens.
Sapountzakis wired that he would take all
the responsibility and then ordered the dis
n n no T
explained, under the circumstances must
degenerate into panic. Thus the respon-
siblity of the king seems no longer engag-
ed. As for the troops, more facts have come
to light, showing that the men fought with
extraordinary bravery. They "fougnt like
lions led by asses" to use the phrase of
Jules Faure on the French soldiers of 1870.
The sultan has recalled Osman Pasa in
order to avoid embarrassing Edmen Pasha.
