Greece and Turkey.
• Reports from the seat of war show that hostilities have again broken oat between the Turks and the Greeks. The Turks have occupied Kalambaka — ancient Stagus, in The'ssaly, the terminus of the north-western railway system of Greece, situated to the north of the Peneus— after a conflict with Greek irregulars. Owing to the Sultan refusing to yield in regard to his olaims for Thessalonian territory, the relations between the Porte and the foreign Embassies have become gravely strained. Lord Salisbury replying to a question in reference to the Greco.Turkish war, said the Porte was entirely chargeable with the delay which had arisen in connection with the settlement of the terms of peace. These delays were causing great injury and even danger. The Powers were in absolute agreement, and the chances of an early and satisfactory solution of the difficulty would increase in proportion as the situation became analagous to the state of affairs prevailing in 1877, when at the clo3e of the Russo Turkish war Prince Bis march presided over a European conference with the Russian army lying close to Constantinople. Russia has issued a circular Note to the Powers suggesting certain steps for expediting the peace negotiations between Turkey and Greece. Russia desires to forestall similar proposals on the part of the other Powers. The German Ambassador, Baron Jeltsch, has received precise mstruc tions to advise Turkey to withdraw from the strategic frontier of Thessaly. - _
