The Powers have agreed upon the conditions for self-government in Crete.

A Christian Governor is to be appointed and an annual tribute of $50,000
is to be paid to Turkey.

The payment of the tribute will not be commenced until five years have
passed, because Crete has been so laid waste by the war that she will
not be in a position to pay her tribute until she has had time to
recover.

The foreign troops are to remain on the island until a Cretan militia
has been organized. This militia is to be commanded by European
officers.

The Turkish troops that remain on the island are to be gradually
withdrawn as peace is restored.

The Governor is to have the right to appoint and dismiss all government
officials.

The Assembly, which will manage the affairs of the island, is to be
composed of an equal number of Christians and Mohammedans.

The affairs of Crete seem thus to be happily settled. It is to be hoped
that brave little Greece, who so recklessly went to her aid, may fare as
well.
