Once more the Greek and Turkish
fleets have clashed in battle, the
third day of desperate fighting, near

cording to a special dispatch received
| by LlOyds. At the same time the
dispatch was sent the warships OF
the opposing navies were still in ac-

ENJOYS attending at st. James Palace.

opening of the conference the Turk
ish ENJOYS protested against the pres

the. ground that Greece had not sign
ed the armistice. Reschil Pasha
threatened that the Turks would
withdraw unless the Greeks left. The
other ENJOYS, prevailed upon the
Turks to remain in the conference I'M
