THE dispatches on Monday announce
that Greece has answered the demands
of the Powers, and has puzzled them.
King George and his premier. M. Delyan-
mis-. say they are willing to Withdraw the
Greek feet from Cretan waters, but
they are not prepared to recall the Greek
troops. They declare that the Greek
soldiers are necessary to protect the
Christians of the island against the Mo-
hammedan ferocity.
On the other hand. King George says
he will not object to have the govern
ments control the operations of the
Greek troops in Crete.

PERSONS who have conferred with the
President in relation to appointments
report that there will be no haste in
making changes. The assistant secre-
taries and the principal foreign mis-
sions will be changed at an early day,
but in other cases the President will act
with deliberatiop and will follow con-
sentative policy. AS rule officers who
have fixed tenure will be permitted to
serve out their terms. This rule has
been observed during the last eight
years and will not be departed from by
President Mckinley. For the present
appointments will be made in the postal,
revenue and other branches of the SER
vice only where the tenure of the in
cumbents has expired, and to fill va
cancies caused by death and resigna
ton and for good cause. No recognition
will be gives factions, and it is the
desire of the President that the various
Republican delegations shall consult
and agree upon the men to be recon-
mended. The indications are that COM
paratively few appointments will be
made until some time after the assemb
ling of the Fifty fifty Congress.
