TROUBLE AVERTED.
TURKEY MOST EMPHATIC. POWERS INTERVENE AND GREECE ACQUIESCES. LONDON, February 4. The Porte has intimated that the sending of Cretan deputies to the Greek National Assembly, which King George has promised to convoke in response to the representations of the Military League, would be considered by Turkey a easus belli. Thereupon the protecting Powers resolved not to permit such a provocation. The Turkish fleet is ready to start for Piraeus, the seaport of Athens, and the Third Army Corps is ready to march on Greece through the Larissa Plains. A British battleship, three cruisers, and four destroyers have left Malta for Greek waters. ■ It is announced in Athens that the Greek National Assembly will not be convoked until 1911, and that it will then be restricted to representatives of the Kingdom of Greece.
