A MILITARY LEAGUE . CABINET

PROBABLE

(Received November 1, 10.25 p.m.)

LONDON. Nov. 1

It i,s believed in Athens that Lieutenant Typaldos and other fugitives readied the mountains, and may elude pursuit owing to their .local popularity.

Business at Athens is almost at a standstill. Many persons believe that the only solution before the King is to invite the Military League to form a Cabinet. The King hitherto has refused direct relations with the League. ATHENS, Nov. 1.

The action of the authorities in preventing twenty of Lieutenant Typaldos’ confederates from rejoining their ships largely accounted ior the failuie of the revolt.

Tlie mutinous destroyers <m Friday 11 wlit attempted to escape from Salami! Bay. The loyal fleet repulsed them, and the officers then landed.
