vIzCAYA AND OQUENDo LEAVE.

Havana, April 1.-Captain General
BlancO last night called the colonies of
the volunteer regiments to the palace
and consulted with them. He impressed
upon the officers the necessity for
greater union than even in these troubled
times" and recommended that the high
est discipline be maintained and that
more patriotism be shown. 1T Is said
that the Captain Generals views Were
agreed to with enthusiasm, and that the
officers pledged to Spain their lives,
fortunes and Scored honor.
The Union Constitutional, says edi-
tOrially this morning:
1.-The necessity for concentration hav-
ing disappeared, Captain General Blan-
cos decree properly does away with 1T.
1t says the government will provide for
the reconcentrados in Il proper manner,
and the lying charity of the United
States is not needed.
The Diaro de la Marina lauds the
Captain Generals decree, saying:
'''rhe government shows a disposition
to relieve the suffer;ngs caused by the
war: but it must work patiently and
long. owing to the fact that the war it
self caused more difficulties, and time
is required to give strength to the relief
measures"

Greece, through her ministers at the
European capitals, has informed the
powers that she feels she has been be-
trayed. The Greek troops we're in
many instances recalled and prepara-
lions for carrying on hostilities discon-
tinued, all on the promise of the DOW
ers that they would Immediately inter-
vene. When thus at a disadvantage
the Turks renewed their attack, and, of
course, the Greeks were defeated. Rus
STA is the power that has stopped the
fighting, but not until Turkey had cap
tured Domoko and secured about all
the glory and material advantage pos
sible. Yet, backed by Germany, Turkey
was prepared to overrun all Greece, and
but for the Cars imperative telegram
would have done so. Now 1t remains
to be seer If Turkey will keep Thessaly.
England is opposed to the idea, and the
other powers are supposed to be, but
Turkey, having modified an army of
half a million of her best fighting men
in Europe, the powers will be very con-
siderate of her interests. Only a small
part Of this army has. been used in
Greece. The Sultan has the rest of it
reserved for bigger game. A general
European war would probably benefit
Turkey. The London Times sums up
the Sultan's attitude toward the pow
ers by saying: Ellis insolence is only
by his contempt"
