France and Russls at Constantinople have asked
the Turkish Government to jraiu Qreece an ar?
mistice,
London, April 28.?AH the talk now, says "The
r-aiiy Mail's" r.eriin correspondent, is of the In?
tervention Of the Powers. Kvcn Germany wishes
to savs Greece from the cons?quences of defeat,
and It Is stated in Berlin official circles that the
Towers will Intervene of their own initiative if

According to a dispatch from Constantinople
to the "Lokslanselger," the Sultan will accepl
the following conditions as a basis of peace; The
withdrawal Of the Creek troops from Crete and
the re-estsbllshmen1 of the frontier of 1881,
Greece to lie excluded from all the aAantn-r' I of
capitulations and to pav Indemnity.
The Rome correspondent of "The Dally Chroni?
cle" saya it is asserted at the Italian Foreign
Office thai Qreece has privately addressed
France, Kngland and Russia for the purpose of
Invoking their mediation between her and
Turkey.
Henry Norman. "The Dally Chronicle's" COT
respondent at Athens, says: "1 have the very
best reason to believe that Greece is now dis
posed to recall her forree from Fplrus. and even
to evacuate the island of Crete. Two hundred
thousand women and children are homeless and
destitute in Thessaly. and the Government is
unable to relieve their need."
A dispatch to "The Dally Mail" from Rome
says that the Powers will oppose by force, if
necessary, the blockade or bombardment of sa
Icnlca, In view of the damage that would be
d 'tie to foreign commerce. It is believed in
Rome that the new Greek Ministry will treat
for peace in the hope of preserving the terri?
torial integrity of Greece.

nied that "any accord" exists between the Triple
Alliance and Turkey. The Ambassador de
I dared that not even Germany had entered Into

on hl.i visit to the Ciar. The official said that the
Emperor was greatly gratified by the results
of his visit, and he added that there would be
no i hange in th^ Esstera policy of the European
Concert The keynote of the situation was the
necessity of a prompt return to the status quo
in both Qreece and Crete. The official assured
"The TImes's" correspondent that the European
Concert was equally desirous of iu] rnning the
Creek dynasty.

the progress of the r\<(rotiatloni of the Towers

tween Greece and Turkey.
A member Of the Diplomatic Corps of high
standing, in an interview. Is quoted as saying:
"While OroeCS wiH-rmt ?nh for intervention. It
Is impossible for her to prolong resistance, owing
to the state of her tlnaiv eS. Therefore, it is prob?
able that the Greek Government will now obey
the summons of Europe, and that the Turkish
evacuation of ThSSSSly and the Qreek evacua?
tion of the island ol Crete will be carried out
simultaneously.
'The financial question will then be consider? I
Greece will possibly get n Judicial Council, ena?
bling the giving of guarantees to the German
bondholders and providing Turkey with an In?
demnity for the expenses of mobilising her

Constantinople, April -.?The victories of the
Turkish troops have enormously raised the mili?

Inspired In Turkey's vitality is removing the dts

at the same time rendering the Towers' scheme

The fol owing official statement was Issued

A STATEMENT FROM EX PRE?
MIER DELTANNM.
Athena April 29, Th>- King summoned M,
Delyannis, the Premier, this morning, and ca;?rd
upon piiin t.. tend? r h?s resignation, Bis Majesty
subsequently Intrusted the Opposition leaders
with the task of forming s m w Cabinet,
The following is the official list of the new

After to-morrowta rote of confidence MM. Ralll
and Bimopoulo ?rill go to the Greek headquar?
ters at Pharsalos.
The King Intrusted M. Delyannis, the retiring
Premier, with full power to represent Els
Majesty during the formation of the new Cabi?
net, and only insisted that M. Teotaoki should
enter th.. Cabinet.
The leaders of the Opposition went to Parlia?
ment Mous... ?rhere a meeting of the Opposition
was h.id. The leaders sfterward had another
Conference, and drew up th" list of Ministers.
which three of the leaders presented t.. th" King
The nam.s ? in be submitted to the Legislativa
Assemblj t ?-morrow, and a vote of confidence
a in he asked for.
It is believed that M. I?"llgeorsls wiil he Presi?
dent of th- Chamber.
Admira! Canaria and M Pellgeorgla. as well as
M. Botiropoulo, having declined portfolios, the
new Ministry will tak" on a composite character
;ir..i n ly fur its supp -rt upon a coalition of fol?
lowers of M. Ralll and the Trlcouplsts. M. Del?
yannis made th< following statement this after?
noon:
"Yesterday King George summoned m" to the
palace and <i*i lared that exceptional circum?
stances compelled him tu replat" the Cabl ? ?.
and to f. rm a new Ministry from the ranks of the
Opposition. He begged me tu second his efforts.
1 i refuse?! to ten.i'^ my resignation, not i,r>causc
I of my love of power, hut in order that such a itep
! might nut be misinterpreted, i urged th" King
to use th" privilege of the Crown, declaring that
i wai ready to ^i>;n th. royal decree provided the
latte; cast no blame upon us i added thai there
was no reason to fear thai such n measure would
be considered by Europe ai .i censure upon the
Government's policy. Judgment would be
formed as tu that after the neu Cabinet had been
tried "
M. Delyannis added: "I cannot divulge 'he poli?
cy which I considered necessary, i can only say
thai the eoui try would ''.^ ? emerged from i'-;
trial without U*s of territory, and ?rould ive
ibtalned a rectification of -he northen frontier
by abandoning Crcti ace rdlng to the detnai '?
the Powers, The latter measure would havi fa?
cilitated the task. Inasmuch ai the prlnclpli of
Ottoman Integrity w uld not have been Impaired,
while the peace of Bui ,??? sould I svi been as
1 sun d bees us. ? of the re< t Ideation of the frontier
iire adjudged In the Treaty of t:? nm."
'This evening's seeslon of the Legislative A?
sembly was attem cd by only forty deputies in
1 the absence of a quorum the President adjourned
the Chamber, after which crowds paraded the
s'-eets shouting. "Long live Admiral Canaris!"
T ere was no other incident of special Impor?
tance.
During 'he negotiations for the reconstruction
of the Ministry fr..m the Oppoaltlon, M. Rail!
opposed the pmpoaal to make ,\p Botiropoulo
Premier, and said. "Setting aside all false mod
' est)*, I mus' )>. i ?.. fnised. I am the Premier
designated I y events."
The Opposite n leaders acquiesced in this view;
bul M. Dellgeorgl?i refused to join tos Ministry
unies? the Premli r were eh< sen outside the recu?
lar ci netttuted parties in the Rouie. To this m
llalli replied thai he could not and would not ar
ti mi : to form u Ministry without the support of
the other Opposition section! In th" Assembly;
and he tried to Induce M. Deligeorgis t?. j. in.
Th.- public tension la mu. h relieved by the
change of Ministers, and it is now believed that
all serious danger of Internal disorders is re
mot "fj.
Owing to the absence of M. Teotookl. th" new
Cabinet will noi tak< the oath until to-morrow
M. Delyannis appears to he assured of ? ma
! Jorlty in the legislative Assembly; but it is prob
Lable. however, that he ?rill support the Cabinet.
The n< w Ministers, on the other hand, are confi?
dent of obtaining a working majority, owing to
defection! from their opponents.
The city to-night is exceedingly quiet.

ANNEXATION (LOSE AT BAND.
ITCH [| TUT BELIEF Iff HONOLULU -THE
PHILADELPHIA'S MISSION.
San Fra iclsco, April 2ii (Special).?Advices
from Honolulu say that although Admiral
Beardstee, of the cruiser Philadelphia, has done
nothing yet to ?how he has an> special orders it
is believed In Honolulu that the cruiser will play
an Important part In the annexation of the Isl?
ands after nil. Since the arrival of Attorney-?}en
ernl Smith from Washington and the sncouraglng
advice? received hy th'? steamer on which be
earns it is generally beusvsd in Honolulu that
annexation Is an assured fact. In fact, the ma- <
Jorlty of people there are confidently expecting
by the next steamer the arrival of B full-fledged
American Minister, who ?ill he clothed with
SUthorlt) to annex the Islands.
A little sidelight was thrown upon this theory
by a remark dropped by President I>ole in
conversation with an officer of the National
Quard, The officer was desirous of resign?
ing Ills commission In the National Ouard,
and President Dole, hearing of it. went to him
and urged him to remain In the (iuard. The of
ftcer replied that he thought he had seen enough
servies and would give way to younger nr-n.
President Dole is said to have replied:
"Well. I will consider It s personal favor If
you will remain until after annexation."
"How long will that be?" inquired th" officer.
"It Is very close at hand." was the President's
significant reply.
At his word the officer ?decided to retain his
commission. If annexation is close at hand It
Is only natural that the flagship of the Pacific
Bquadron should precede the Minister to Hono- !
lulu, so that If there Is to be annexation a suffi?
cient force of United States marine may be on
hand to rive force and dignity to the imposing
