HuTIin,s Condition Accepted.

Athens, April 2l.-All OF Ralll cohdl-
tions have been accepted. The king gives
carte blanche to his ministers. AS the
public learns the truth, anger against
the party increases and a feeling of hos
t:lity against NJ. Delvyannis is steadily
growing.
General Smollenski has been appointed
chief of staff of the Greek army in Thes-
sally. Colonels Staikos and Limbritis and
Major Constantinides have been recalled
from Crete to serve on the staff of the
crown prince. 1t is announced that all
officers of Constantine's staff have been
recalled.
