Paris.-Whether Greece is to throw

alliance or remain neutral. is the alb
sorbing question OF the war. The Hell

Greece, declared to be uncompromis

The resignation OF the premier and
his cabinet Saturday is reputed TIC
have been due to the unyie.ding atti-
tude of the monarch. The belief pre-
vailed that with the appointment OF q
new ministry the storm clouds would
dissipate. This feeling was height
ened by reports from Athens that We

STEAMSHIP HAS CLOSE CALL.
French Vessel on Fire at Sea, But
Reaches Port in Safety.

Paris.-Fire which threatened the
French steamship La Touraine was
brought under control, and all her
passengers landed in safety. A ter
rible sea tragedy was narrowly
averted.
According to officials of ne COM
pany they have not been informed
what caused the fire. They assert,
however that the flames were confined
to one of the compartments in the
hold. 1t was feared for a time that it
might be necessary to transfer tie
passengers to another ship to avoid
danger, but this plan evidently was
abandoned when it was seen the blaze
was being mastered.
Grave fears for the safety OF La
Touraine were felt in this city until
the positive announcement was made
that she was in no danger. Several
newspapers suggested that the fire
might have been started by spies who
had concealed themselves on board.
