UNREST IN GREECE.
ATTEMPT TO REVIVE MONARCHY. By Xdegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright Received August 10, 9.30 p.m. Athens, August 16. _ Owing to rumors that M. Venizelos (Premier of Greece) wa9 dead, great crowds attacked reactionary strongholds, and wrecked five newspaper offices, a theatre, and a cafe. The police arrested many reactionary leaders, some for their own protection, and others for complicity in a plot to effect a coup d' etat after M. Venizelos' assassination, and to restore ex-King Constantine. The Government states it has proof that Opposition leaders are intriguing and plotting with Constantine in Switzerland. The. plotters relied mainly on twelve hundred ex-officers who were congregated in Athens, and the absence of the garrison on foreign service. M. (an ex-Premier of Greece) was shot while attempting to escape from a military escort.—Aus.N.Z. Cable Assn.
