GREECE
Powers Propose to Greece
Negotiating for Autonomy
Program Drawn Up(
The
Paris, March 13. The following
seml-ofllcial announcement was made:
The powers, while united In princi
ple, have not yet been able to reach a
solution of the Cretan question. Prq-
posals and objections are being ex
changed hourly. The program drawn
up by the admirals, in Cretan waters,
is as follews:
First A. blockade of the island of
Crete.
Second, A blockade of the Piraeus
and some other Greek ports.
Third Seizure by a detachment of
the fleet of the telegraph offices at
Syra.
Fourth Any Greek warships en
countered are to be taken to the is
land of Milo and kept there
Fifth Any Greek warships firing
on any foreign warship are to be
sunk, and the act to be considered a
casus belli.
Sixth Any Greek torpedo-boat,
nearlng a foreign warship is to bo
tired at.
Seventh As the blockade of Greece
will require all the crews of foreign
warships, each power is to send to
Crete a battalion of infantry of not
less than GOO men in number.
Each of the forolgn admirals tele-
cranhed a copy of these proposals to
his government. Germany immedi
ately telegraphed the powers that she
would accept the proposals down to
the seventh, and would accept the
seventh In principle, but had not a
battalion available. Austria wired
the powers that she would accept the
proposals but as Emperor Erancls'
Joseph was at Cape Lartin, she must
have time to consult wltn his majesty.
Italy telegraphed her acceptance of
all the proposals, but lb added they
must bo submitted to a cabinet
council, which will be done within
three day 8, ,
.Russia, Great Britain and France
were silent for a time, and then Great
Britain proposed that a gendarmerie
be organized la Crete by utilizing
Greek troops, not using the Greek flag,
and not using Greek officers in this
connection.
Russia eventually answered that as
the powers had presented their ulti
matum to Greece, and Greece had re
plied by offering to
fleet, the answer

Therefore, Russia
further collective note, demanding
the withdrawal of the Greek troops.
France seconded the reply of Russia.
During the pour parlois a general
agreement was suggested that the
powers should each advance a certain
sum for pay to a gendarmerie and the
expense of organizing an autonomous
government In Crete. This was im
mediately objected to by Germany, on
the ground that she was not willing
to spend a pfennig for this purpose.
France proposed to the British for
eign office that the powers proceed
immediately to organize a gendar
merie, naming a governor for Crete
from Holland, Belgium or perhaps
Switzerland. Several names were
considered Great Britain points out
that members of the previous Cretan
gendarmerie run away and mutinied,
and the Greek troops best available
for this purpose. Consequently this
proposal will bo the modus vlvendl
by which the situation will bo solved,
as there Is no doubt the Greeks will
will accept it,
Turkish Movements,
c Paris, March 13. A dispatch from
Larissa says thatat the Turkish head
quarters at Flassona there are 18,000'
troops, but both officers and men are
destitute and have scarcely clothes
enough to cover them, and there have
been numerous desertions. The Greek
troops, It is further asserted, are in
excellent condition and so enthusias
tic that their officers have difficulty
in keeping them quiet, The frontiers
are covered with 15,000 insurgents who
are only waiting the signal to advance.

Turkish Outrages.
Constantinople:, March 13. A
threatening feature has been added to

breaks in Antonoli. The British
ambassador, Sir Phillip, Currle, has
drawn the attention oF the Turkish
government to the condition of things
In the districts of Asia Minor, and
requested that Immediate stops be
talcen to avert another catastrophe.
