XEW YORK" THE POWERS' GAP Op BLUFF They Hare Now Decided to "Blockade the Port of Athens," BUT HOT ALL THE GREEK PORTS King Georgo Gave Notice That a Blockade or the Whole Greek Coast Would be the Signal For a Declaration of War Against Turkey. London, April . The Time prtnU a aispatch from Its Vienna, correspondent, who saya: A council of the admirals was held yesterday to determine whether and wlien the Gulf of Athena Is to be blook udad. All the powers have nenv con sented to that proposition, though nothing; lias been decided with respect to the blockade of other Greek ports. It Is no secret that King George has formally stated to the powers that a declaration of war against Turkey will Immediately follow an oxtenslon of blockade to the Greek coast. This fact cannot be left out of consideration. It Ib believed In some quarters that If the Gulf of AthepB la blockaded popular excitement will compel the king to de clare war, even If his own Judgment and that of his cabinet were opposed. This has been a leading cause of the delay In securing a unanimous agree ment between the powers. There is no doubt that In the event of a Turko Greek war the Intervention of the pow ers would be suspended. The Times' correspondent at Larlssa telegraphs: The first step o the Crown Prince Constantln In his new command has been to hold a strategical council, at which It was decided to create two divisions of the army, with bases at Larlssa and Trikhala. Some of the leading spirits of the Ethnllte Hetalria have been here recently, among them the well known Alexandrian banker, M. Gousslos, who is believed to be largely responsible for financing the mobilization. The Times' Athens correspondent telegraphs: "Whether in the event of war the powers will abstain from a i blockade and leave the Greek fleet un-1 jetierea is debated here with great Interest. It is pointed out that should war ensue the powers could not as neutrals hinder the operations of the Greek navy, which might bombard Smyrna and Salonika and capture the Islands of the Aegean. In case tho Turks should be victorious on land, which Is not expected at Ath ens, Greece would be more than com pensated by victories on the sea. It Is assumed, of course, that Europe would never permit the Turkish army to invade Greece. Thus, .whatever happens, Greece stands to win, at any rate not to lose. These calculations would be completelj overthrown should the powers compel tho Greek fleet to remain inactive. But this course, It Is contended here, would bo tantamount to an offensive alliance with Turkey against Greece. A number of Italian volunteers havu arrived at Athens from Crnto, having tafely run the blockade. They say ihat there Is no bread In the Island except In the camp of Colonel Vassos which Is provisioned for three months. Ollv.;s. milk and lambs' flesh are the principal articles of food of the Inhabitants. Tha Insurgents are not organized, but ron slst of bands of armed peasants, who leave their homes for a day or two during active operations and then re turn to them, The real head of the Greek army of occupation in the Isl and, according to the statement of the Italian volunteers, Is Colonel Lombrlol, who directs an the movements of the Insurgents. The report of the desire ot Turkey and Greece to come to a dlreot under standing must In no wise be summar ily discarded. Moreover, the fact must be taken into consideration that most of the powers are beginning to show unmistakable symptoms of a feeling that little ts to be gained by pushing European Intervention beyond certain limits, and that a great deal ts to be gained by leaving Turkey and Greece to settle by direct negotiations what the powers might leave unsettled. In this way the situation would become much simplified, and .e powers be re lieved of an ever Increasing responsi bility already weighing heavily upon most of them. ti i Three Greek sailing vessels currying cargoes of provisions consigned to Crete have beep captured by a British warship outside the limits of the blockade. Great Sympathy Strike Kxpeoted. New York, April 2.
