IMPORTANT AND INTERESTING MATTERS IN BRIEF.

King- George or Greece 8aya the Towers are Driving Greece to War Against Turkey Hat IIU Mlud Made Up and Will Not stand a Blockade. Kino; George Would go to War. A New York Journal correspondent at Athens secured an interview with King George of Greece in which the king said: "The great powers should take warn ing before it is too late. The Greek nation cannot endure this state of af fairs much longer, and the situ ation will become uncontrollable. The world has never witnessed such spectacle as six powerful nations acting in the name of Christian civili zation, surrounding an island with their warships, and starving a noble Christian people, whose only offense is that that they havo fought for their liberty.

While doing this, the nations are feeding and upholding their sav age Turkish oppressors." a no lines in uie king race grew hard and his big brown eyes flashed. while the veins stood out with painful distinctness in his temples, his lips trembled, and his voice shook with emotion, as he said: "It is hard to restrain, the natural impulse of the Greek army, to vindi cate tho honor of their flag, and to pre' vent an advance on the Turkish forces which threaten our northern frontier. aow is sam mat the powers are threatening to blockade Volo, the naval base of our forces in Thessaly. It would be an infamous thing to do while the Turkish army menaces our territory. If it is done, it will be use less to attempt to hold our troops back any longer, and I will order them to go forward.

My mind is made up." War Seom Inevitable. Athens: Crown Prince Constantine, who has been chosen to take command of the Greek forces on the frontier, started for Volo. An immense demonstration was made beforo the palace previous to his departure. Constitution square and streets adjacent wero filled with an excited throng, cheering and singing patriotic songs. The populace shouted "for union and war," and cheered continually for the crown prince and the army.

An immense throng, including many thousands of Cretans, assembled on the quays at Piraeus, brilliantly illuminated by lime lights from houses in the vicinity, to witness the embarkation. The wildest enthusiasm was displayed. A deputation presented to the crown prince a copy of the resolutions which were adopted at a public meeting, declaring that the people of Athens and the Piraeus wero faithful interpreters of the sympathies of the nation, which was ready to make any sacrifice of blood or money in the cause of Crete. Crown Prince Constantino replied as follows: "Have confidence in me. I kuow my duty.

Rest assured I shall acquit myself like a soldier." It is officially stated that the question of declaring war depends upon the present negotiations with tho powers. No man on the streets of Athens lielieves this, all accepting the departure of the crown prince as indicating that Greece has come to a definite definite decision to go to war. That tho departure of the crown prince is really a serious matter was evinced by the touching farewells of tho king and queen. The crown princess accompanied him as far as Larissa, and during the passage of the Egripos canal Prince George joined them for a short time to bid his brother adieu. An Athens dispatch says: It is stated on the best of authority that war may be expected to break out at any time, most probably near Arta.

The Greek military preparations go on unceasingly on a large scale. At Salonica the officials do not conceal their belief in the probability of war. They are enthusiastic, but not fanatical. The work of mobilization proceeds rapidly. Should war break there is little doubt that Greece will do her best to remain on the defensive on the land, but will take the offensive at sea, with a view to capturing the islands in the Aegean sea.

The Turkish camp at Elassona is regarded as the key to Macedonia and is being very strongly Intrenched. A well equipped hospital has been established at Salonica by the Turks. Field hospitals have been established at Elassona, Monastir, Janina and other points. It is reported that an advance of the Turkish army is imminent. Fresh divisions are mobilizing at Pre-vesa and Katrina.

The consuls are quitting the frontier districts. Reinforcements continue to arrive from Feredjek. Over 70.000 Turkish troops are now on tho frontier. A thousand horses with tons of provisions, tents and ambulances are going forward, together with siego artillery and J0.0OO Martini rifles. The Turkish squadron has left the Dardanelles, part of the ships proceed ing to Smyrna and the remainder to sjalonica.

A dispatch from Rome says tho officials of the foreign office consider that war between Turkey and Greece is inevitable. The members of the diplomatic corps at St. Petersburg now greatly apprehend serious complications in Macedonia which will jeopardize the peace of Europe. The Exchange bank, of Ed more has closed its doors. Inability to realize quickly on assets Is the cause.

It is believed that the bank will open again.

Pingree sent his first veto to the Senate in connection with the bill to punish any person, except members of the G. A. R. in good standing, who wears a G. A.

IL badge. His message was very "warm," and bore particularly upon the argument that many old soldiers have fallen behind In their dues through misfortune and stress of circumstances which they could not control. The governor said: "I look upon this bill as an attempt to collect dues through a criminal statute, and to punish the unfortunate and poor who have no criminal intentions. I will not be a party to such ingratitude on the part of the state."

A special correspondent at Havana declares that Cuba is lost to Spain. He saj-s that resident Spaniards confess they can see no other outcome.

In fact, evidences that Cuba may in the end be freed by Spanish residents themselves are many and strong. The calmest minds there predict the end of Spanish rule within year. The prop osition of President Cisneros and Gen. Gomez sent through Mr. Scovcl, to bu3' the island, is rapidly growing in popularity.

Its warmest advocates are Spanish residents. They aro the active, financial and business men of the island, the owners of eight-tenths of its wealth and its sources of wealth. On them the loss of the war has fallen most heavily. Few Cubans had anything lo lose. The merchants, money changers.

speculators, exporters and planters, are beginning to realize that Cuba is lost. Once let these men bo convinced that Spain cannot end the struggle within a reasonable time and they will use their influence to bring about a sale and will help the Cubans to establish a republic. 'lhe Spanish clement is condemning with more and more emphasis the fruitless, exhausting policy of Gen. Weyler. They fee his idea of pacifica tion is depopulation; his plan for peace levastation.

It is well understood that many thousands of troops will soon be withdrawn from Cuba for service in thu Phillipines. meanwhile the rebels arc stronger than ever before. They are triumphant over Gen. Weyler in Santa Clara province and feel certain of victory as ho can only sustain tle fight until the rainyseason. The insurgents have captured Hol-qniii.
