CAUSE SURPRISE
AT WASHINGTON.
Alleged Remarks Of Our Min
lister to Greece.
INQUIRY is UNDER WAY

George Fred Williams Reported to
Have Condemned in Emphatic
Terms the Present Government of
Albania, Recently Set UP by the
Powers.
Washington, June 29.-Administra-
ton officials, particularly those in the
state department, are interested,
mildly amazed and in some doubt
over the reports from abroad that
George Fred Williams of Boston, min
lister to Greece, officially condemned,
in emphatic terms, the present gov
eminent in Albania.
No such report has reached the de-
partment
Inasmuch as some time ago the de-
partment investigated published re-
port that Mr.. Williams had offered his
services on behalf of the United States
as mediator in the Albanian crisis,
and found it was Regulated, they are
inclined to await the result of an in
quiry on the latest story.
The report attributed to Mr.. Will
Jams denOunces as "a horrible crime"
what the powers are doing in Albania.
1t does not even spare the Prince OF
WED. saying of him:
II found a prince, calling himself
king, with no powers, no territory and
no subjects except his wife and chill
dren."
Elsewhere in the report Mr.. Will
Jams says: II uncovered at DuraZzO
an epochal scandal or anarchy, incOm.
petence, hypocrisy and murder. My
first effort was to find the Albanian
government. | found none, except
six warships, and they were silent:
Il took opinions on the London
agreement. Every one agreed from
it's plain reading that it created no
government except one of armed force
from abroad. for which all the all
thorities were clamoring."
