The expulsion of Greeks from Turkey causes a continuance of the excitement, and apprehension is felt in Russia that war is likely between Turkey and Greece. THE TERRIBLE TURK. Constantinople, June 11. Strict censorship is being imposed on all telegrams. The Turks are harassing Greek residents in the Dardanelles and on the Antolian coast. Thousands of Greeks have fled. Most of their property has been sold at a sacrifice or destroyed. Moslems broached and destroyed the wines and spirits in a Greek village in the Dardanelles. Ninety thousand refugees have reached Salonika from Thrace.

CREEK AUTHORITIES SUSPICIOUS. Athens, June 11. The authorities are suspicious that a connection exists between the simultaneous outrages against Greeks in Turkey and Bulgaria. M. Venixolos, in the Chamber, stated that the army would be raised to half a million within five years. Its strength, meanwhile, was sufficient to cope with immediate eventualities. A RUSSIAN MEDIATOR. St. Petersburg, June 11. M. Sazonoff has started for Bucharest. It is believed that an important conference will be held to consider steps to prevent an outbreak of Turco-Greek hostilities.
