carea. Feb. 26.-Most of the foreign war
s,,. that were lying in the harbor here
. laft and gone to Suda bay, where
hotter anchorage than here. 1t
: likely however, that their presence
s.ro will again be required, as the situa-
hos become more critical than ever
-, and it would not be surprising if
,oneict should occur. In one respect
- interposition of the powers has had a
=, effect in that it has led the Moslems
. bslieye that Europe is back of them in
,s.ir combat with the Christians. As a
-.,rlt there are this afternoon 5000 Mos
,r, aebting men, besides the Turkish sol
H.rs all heavily armed, parading the
,,rssts Of the city and demand the blood
~ tbe Christian dogs who have dared to
mestion the rights of the Turks to rule
them.
The combined forces that have been
landed bv the several powers number only
M men and it is believed that without
rbe aid of the warships, they would prove
f no avail in preserving order in the city.
The popular passion has been added to
br Ishmael Pasha, the acting governor,
Who has circulated false stories TO the ef-
bet that the Greek troops are mutilating
Voslem children. The governor knows
tbese stories to be untrue, and apparently
his only object is to create among the
Noslems deeper hatred of the Christians,
and to further excite the desire for re-
yenge He is carrying matters with a
hgh hand, and it is likely that the powers
viii have to intervene to check his ardor
IN behalf of the Turks. Accompanied by
an armed body of Turks he left Gambia
to-day and occupied stratgetic positions in
the vicinity of the city, from which he
attacked the Christians, causing serious
losses to them. The commander of the
Earships remaining in the harbor pro-
tested to the governor against his breaking
the armisuce, but the protest was unheed-
ed. The admirals commanding the foreign
fleets have been notified of Ishmaels ac-
ton and there is much speculation as to
The course they will pursue.
Athens, Feb. 26.-The popular indigna-
ton against the great powers. shows no
signs of waning, and if the people had
their way they would fight with arms
in their hands against the combined forces
Of Europe IN defense of their right to

prevails. Parliamentary and official opia-
ION strongly favors resistance to the de-
mands Of the powers.
