greece continues to maintain with such
deplorable obstinacy forces the powers,
much against their wish, to have recourse
to a blockade of the Gulf of Athens.
Whatever the result of conflict so
wantonly provoked, the powers would
never consent to the aggressors ever de-
riving the slightest advantage therefrom.
The complete agreement of the powers re-
mains unalterable, and they would in the
event of disturbances, created by Greece,
know how to localize and if need be, sup
press them"
Athens, April An. Zalmis, president
of the Boule the single Greek legislative
body, recently sent to Mr.. Gladstone a
message of gratitude for the stand he
has taken in behalf of Greece and the
Cretan Christians. In his message NJ.
laimis said: "All your glorious life has
been full of combats for justice and lib
erty. Now that the Hellenic nation has
risen to fight in favor of Crete, which is
bathed in blood, you come to uphold the
rights of an oppressed race"
Mr.. Gladstone's reply to this message
was made public here to-day. He says:
My tract was not written to confer
favor on Greece, but to discharge a SOL
emn duty contributing to redeem my coun-
try from any risk of dishonor which would
have occurred by placing ourselves in an
tagonism to the high interests of justice
and freedom. My opinion is that if the
Greeks continue discreet and the Cretans
firm, their reasonable self-assertion will
carry the day, and the powers, if they
should be SO unwise as to take a hostile
part, be both discredited and defeated.
The guilds and other public bodies here
and at the Piraeus have arranged to hold
a big demonstration on Tuesday next,
the Greek independence day. They have
offered to turn over to the government
all their funds, amounting to nearly 1OO0,-
900 drachmas. They have invited the
other towns of Greece to make a similar
display of patriotism and give all the
financial aid possible to the authorities,
in order to enable the latter to continue
their preparations to maintain the rights
of Greece
