Russia Determined.
st. Petersburg, March 10.-A firm re-
solve is manifested in government quar-
tiers to adhere fiNedly to the policy of
coercion toward Greece should the
Greek policy necessitate such a course.

VIII Not Accept eec PROPOSAL.
London, March 1O.-The general
impression in competent quarters is
that the powers will not accept the pro-
posals of Greece and that they will
carry out their threat of coercing
Greece if necessary. 1t is believed, how
ever, that the Greek reply is only in
tended to soften the shock of surren-
der to the excited Hellenes, and that
after a brief pretense of opposition the
government of Greece will discover the
futility of opposing the will of united
Europe, always supposing that Europe
is united in this matter, and that the
compliance of Greece will follow.
1t is stated in official circles that the
renewal of fighting between the insur-
gents and the Turks in the island of
Crete will compel the powers to imme-
Greeks from that island and to land
foreign troops there. 1t is learned in
official quarters that there is not the
slightest chance that the powers will
tolerate the presence of Greek troops in
Canea. AS soon as the powers have
had time to exchange views on the SUBJ
ject Greece will be notified of the meas
ures which have been decided upon for
the immediate enforcement of their de-
cision. The negotiations will not last
long, for it is known that Germany and
Russia are pressing for immediate ac.
ton.
Anxiety in Athens.
Athens;lMAarch 1O.-There is intense
anxiety here relative to fhe~aetianSthe
powers will decide to adopt in the face
of the reply of the Greek government
to their demands for the evacuation of
Crete by the Greek troops and the with
drawal of the Greek fleet from the
Cretan waters, Greece being willing to
give in as to the fleet, but holding that
her troops should be allowed to remain
and be used by the powers to restore
order. In any case, it is not believed
here that the proposed blockade of the
Greek coasts will begin before the end
of the week.
Italy VIII Take Part.
Rome, March 1O.-It is stated that the
cabinet, although hoping that a peace
full solution of the question would be
arrived at, decided not to abstain from
taking part in the coercion of Greece
if the other powers were unanimous on
this point.
