capital and now has barricaded in
the pubic buildings, occupying tne
city without bloodshed.
The royalists, under General
Constantinopolous, commanding the
district, and Colonel Soutos, COM
manding the garrison attempted
armed resistance against the rebels
but the Venizelist government un-
der General Pangalos opposed the
movement, outwitted the other fac

ture of police, arrested Coleon Sou

! being led back to their quarters.
Intended At First To Resist
King Constantine's manifesto alb
dicating in favor of his eldest son,
followed. The king at first intended
to resist the insurrectionary move
ment, his generals and Prince Mich
olas, his brother, advising such
course, but the monarch soon recog-
niZed the impossibility of making an
effective resistance and the counter
revolutionary preparations were or
dsred stopped.
The next step was taken by the
civilians. The leaders of the Ven
izelist party went to meet the lead
ers of the military movement and
held conference at which the or
ganiZation of new government
and the dynastic question were ILL.,
cussed. Even the question of pro-
claiming a republic If such a step
seemed necessary, was taken UP by
the conferees.
The prospects at this writing
seem to be that General Nider will
undoubtedly be called to the pre-
miership of the new government
with former Foreign Minister Cara
panos becoming foreign minister,
unless NJ. Coromilas should resume
this ministry with eX minister Of
france Alexander Diomede again
becoming minister of finance.
