Received 8-35 p.m., Oct. 14. LONDON, October 14. The "Morning Post's" Athens correspondent gives details of a sensational Royalist plot. He states that several army divisions were concentrated at Tsojtia, Corinth, intended to cover King Constantino's flight to Trikals, Thessaly, entrench there ana await strong German forces, when they would jointly attack the Allies. . Large supplies of arms, ammunition and military equipment had been railed to Trikals in the past fortnight, the Government commandeering the grain reserve in Thessaly for the plotters. Admiral Dufournet's seizure of the Piraeus-Lupirpiraeus-Larissa railway frustated the plot.

King Constantine's palace at Tatoi, near Athens, has been strongly fortified with breastworks and wire entanglements
