KING GEORGE is UNYIELDING

Decision.
Situation of Exceeding DeIicacy-
Russia Getting Tired of
the Delay.

LONDON, March 2-It is no longer
possible to deny that the situation in the
East has become one of the utmost grav-
ity. The Cretan crisis is rapidly growing
into the larger question of the fate of the
Ottoman empire, and it is becoming
strongly probable that its radical solu-
ton will speedily be forced upon Europe.
1t repeatedly has been declared by Sails
bury and other high authorities during
the past year that the only possible solu-
ton of this question is by the sword. 1t
is only a week ago that Balfour assured
the Cmomons in the most solemn Ian
guage that a general European war was
inevitable if it attempted the partition
of the Turkish Empire.
The exact limits of the long-pending
agreement of the powers We're made
known tonight. 1t was decided to send
two notes to the Greek Government. The
first, which was delivered in Athens this
evening requests Greece TO withdraw
her troops and fleet from Crete within
six days. No threats are made in this
communication. If, however, The man
date be disobeyed, second note viii be
dispatched notifying her of the inten-
ton 10 employ coercion unless the de-
mand is promptly complied with.
1t is now matter of practical certain
" and understood by the powers them
selves that Greece will refuse to yield to
either request or threat. 1t is expected
further that in the event of any pres
sure whatever from the powers Greece
will declare war against Turkey, and
within few days begin a campaign in
Macedonia and Thessaly. 1t is virtually
admitted that the powers are not pre-
pared for any such eXigency, and Ii is
scarcely hoped they will be able to deal
with it in harmony. In fact, it is now
an open secret that they have been able
to reach the present point of agreement
only with the greatest difficulty, and that
the bonds which hold them together al
this moment are of the weakest descrip-
ton.
The situation, indeed, is so threatening
that the Government made ii known pri-
vately TO the leaders of the opposition to.

RUSSIA IN CoREA.
Officers of Gar Drilling Troops of

LONDON, March LIN the House of
Commons today Sir Charles Wentworth
Dixie asked the Government whether they
had any information that the King of
Corea is under the protection of Russia;
that the Corean military are being drilled
by Russian officers, and whether in the
opinion of the Government the, action of
Russia in Corea is consistent with the
pledge given by that power when Eng
land abandoned Port Hamilton.
Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs
Curzon said in reply that it was true that
some Corean troops were being instruct
ed by Russian officers. The King of Cor
ca. he added, left the Russian Legation
on February Goth and returned to the
palace Nothing was happening. CurZon
said, that could be regarded as being at
variance with the guarantee given by
Russia in 1SS6-that she would not take
possession of any Corean territory.

cRETAN BLUE BOOK.
Diplomatic Correspondence Regard
ing Crete


LONDON, March "A Cretan blue book
has been issued covering a period be-
tween February, 1896, and September
1896 II is chiefly interesting as going to
show Lord Salisbury's steady refusal to
accept Count Goluchowski's proposal to
blockade Crete in the event that Greece
should disregard the collective note of
the powers demanding a stoppage of the
Importation of arms and the sending OF
volunteers into Crete.
Count Goluchowsli expresses great re-
gret at the attitude of Lord Salisbury,
and the fear that further massacres will
result 1t appears that Lord Salisbury
contended that it was not an even-handed
policy to use the fleets of the powers
against the Cretans and only diplomatic
remonstrances against the Sultan.
AS far back as September, Lord Sails
bury virtually advocated autonomy for
Crete. and declared he could only join
a coercive measure against Greece in case
she should make a hostile attack upon
the integrity of the Turkish empire
