The Feeling in Greece Amounts
Almost to a Revolution.
THE THRONE APPARENTLY TOTTERS.
Establishment of a Republic strongly
Favored-Cabinet Said to Have
Resigned-King George Made
a scapegoat.

London, April 2s.-A dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Paris says that the
Greek cabinet has resigned.
London, April 2s.-A dispatch re-
ceived at one of the embassies here from
Athens says that King George of Greece
may at any moment be deposed or
assassinated, and that the mob is like
ly to take possession of the city.
The Evening News publishes dis
patch from Athens saying the people
are frightfully incensed at the retreat
of the troops. The dispatch further
states that the bitterness against King
George and his government is intensi-
fed by the news that the Greek army
in Epirus has been ordered to suspend
operations, pending reconsideration of
the situation by the ministers. Con-
tinuing, the dispatch says: Indeed,
it looks probable that tomorrow
"wednesday will see the end
of the whole business. There is reason
to believe the government is contemplate
ing the withdrawal of the Greek troops
from Crete, and an appeal to the pow
ers to settle the troubles. This change
upon the part of the government is due
to Edhem Pasha having intimated his
intention of marching upon Athens"
