MASSACRE OF GREEKS FEARED AT NITILENE.
London, June 12 —An official dispatch from Nitilene, an island off the coast of Asia Minor, says that Turkish regulars with machine guns and a force of bashi basouks today attacked the town of Aizalik on the coast of the mainland. As the town is inhabited by 25,000 Greeks a massacre is feared. Messages from Athens today state that one class of the Greek naval reserve has been called out ostensibly to participate in fleet maneuvres, Greek ship owners have telegraphed instructions to the comanders of their ships in the Black Sea to return immediately to Greek wagers. A conference between the Russian and Roumajan ministers has been planned at Bucharest next week to endeavor to prevent war.
