walls. An official statement has been
issued, saying that the arsenal, which
was in the hands of the rebels, has

Lieutenant Thibaldos appears to
have been actuated by his !disapproval
of the tactics of the Military League
and the junior naval officers in con-
senting to negotiate a compromise of
the ultimatum recently issued by the
Military League for the enactment Of
an ordinance suspending all promo
ton for five years, and the abolition of
the posts of rear admiral, vice admiral
and fifteen places of lesser rank.
Tibaldos took prominent part in the
military movement last August. He
was the first officer to go to the camp
at Goudi, outside the city, after the
premier's refusal to receive a deputa-
ton of officers, and he subsequently
was appointed commander of the rebel

the war ships and field batteries, but
apparently little damage was done on
either side. The rebels were led by
Lieutenant Tibaldos and are reported
to have numbered 300 men.
1t is officially announced that only
two of the men of the loyal fleet were
wounded. The losses to the mutineers
is not known. One of their torpedo
boats was disabled and another took
fight in the direction of Eleusys, on
the bay of Levsina. A third reached
the Poros naval station, where it met
with a hostile reception and again put
to sea.
Former Premier Rails in an inter
view predicted that the upshot of the
crisis would be the overthrow of the
government and the entrance of the
Military League into office. This de-
velopment, he thought, would not af-
feet the position of King George. The
general opinion is that the Military
League has suffered a great loss in
prestige by reason of Fridays events
and may be compelled to proclaim a
dicta torship. Athens remains quiet,
but much suppressed excitement pre-
