The Sultan's Reply.
CESSATION OF THESSALLY DEMANDED. AND TEN MILLION TURKISH POUNDS. THE MARCH ON DOMOKU IMPEDED. London, May 16. Advices from Constantinople state that the Porte has replied to the representations of the foreign Ambassadors urging the Sultan to agree to an immediate armistice with Greece. The terms on which the Porte is willing to grant an armistice are: —The annexation of Thessally, payment by Greece of an indemnity of ten million Turkish pounds, and the absolute capitulation of the Greek forces and if Greece is willing to accept the terms proposed the Plenipotentiaries are to meet at Phersala. Later advices show that military and religious influences compelled the Sultan to insist on exacting severe terms from Greece. Athens, May 16. The outpost fighting is proceeding round Domoku. The bad state of the roads and heavy rains are impeding the Turkish advance upon the town. Two thousand of the troops ordered to re-embark with Colonel Staicos for Crete have returned to Athens.
