Discord In the Concert.
London, April 2.—A special dispatch
from Paris says that Count Muravieff,
the Russian minister of foreign affairs,
has arrived there unexpectedly from St.
Petersburg. It is believed that the Rus-
sian minister’s journey is connected
with the propositions brought forward
looking to the settlement of the eastern
crisis! and the proposed blockade of the
.ports of Greece.
The Daily Chronicle published a dis-
patch from its Rome correspondent
saying that great divergence of opin-
ion is appearing among the powers
with respect to the details of the action
to be taken against Greece. The cleav-
age is so pronounced that a rupture of
the concert is expected, especially in
the event of a war between Turkey and
Greece.
A dispatch to The Standard from Sa-
lonika says that the increase of troops
on the east flank of the Turkish army
indicates that an attack will be made
upon Larissa in the case of the out-
break Of war. The troops are divided
into three parts, holding Katisrina,
Litochori and Karya. They are com—
manded by Hassan Pasha, ex—governor
of Crete. The men appear cheerful and
are contented to live chiefly on bread,
sugar, beans and raisins. Several of
the battalions, it is said, declare that
they do not want pay, but will fight
for their country as long as it is neces-
sary.
' The. “'arships In Action.
The Khania correspondent of The
Standard says, in describing the bom—
bardment by the foreign warships of
the position taken up by the insurgents
on the hill to the south of Suda bay:
“When the Cretans began the attack
Colonel Bor proposed to the admirals
that they should land a mixed force of
500 men to drive the insurgents from
the position they occupied behind a
strong stone wall along the ravine. The
Austrian and French admirals were op-
posed to taking the offensive, and they
decided to confine their action to bom—
barding. By 8 O’clock in the morning
the engagement was in full swing. The
Turkish guns in Fort Izzedin could
take only a small part in the firing, as
most of them are directed seaward.
But a Turkish frigate shelled the in-
surgents freely, though with little ef-
fect. An hour later the foreign men
of war signaled their intention to bom-
bard. The Groziastchy fired first, then
H. M. S. Ardent, and final-lythe Aus-
trian gunboat Tiger. Each vessel fired
in its turn, aiming chiefly at the Greek
flag, which was hoisted above the stone
wall. The Ardent ceased firing at 9:30,
but the Groziastchy, ranging close in
shore, by degrees pounded doWn the
wall yard by yard. every shot telling.
“In spite of the heavy cannonade the
Cretans held their ground stoutly, even
throwing out skirmishers to repel the
Turkish outposts, though they were com—
pelled to abandon their own principal
position behind the stone v..'all
“At 9: 45 a. n1. H. M. S. Camperdown,
the outermost of the largest ironclads,
began firing 6 inch shells. The Cretans
thereupon retired slightly, but continued
a heavy fire until 10 o’clock, when the
Camperdown, at a range of 6,400 yards,
fired her big guns. The effect was in—
stantaneous. Three out of four of the
percussion shells burst directly in the
center of the insurgents’ position, and
the Cretans fled helter skelter.
Gunners‘ \Vork “'as Accurate.
“The aim of the gunners was perfect,
while the formidable noise of the enor-
mous shells hurtling through the air
was alone enough to frighten any ene-
my. Things were now getting too hot
to last, and the insurgent flag was
speedily lowered.” The Cretans in full
retreat were hastened by the fire of the
Groziastchyand the Tiger, which poured
in with extreme accuracy of aim a suc-
cession of shrapnels. .
“At 10:15 the last shell fell. Seeing
that the ob‘l‘ect of the bombardment
was accomplished, the Russian and Aus-
trian warships steamed away for block-
ade service. The Ardent returned to
Suda. The Turkish soldiery sallied
quickly from the forts, occupied the po-
sitions lately held by the” insurgents,
hoisted the Ottomangflag with great
manifestations of delight, and even ad-
vanced acrowhe open with great cool-
ness, though exposed to the continuous
fire of 7the insurgent sharpshooters, who
remained in the ravine up to the last
moment.
“At 11:30 a. m. the Turks were still
pouring a rattling rifle fire upon the
retreating masses of the insurgents,
who replied with wonderful spirit. Their
splendid defense of the position excited
the admiration of all. Until the Cam-
perdown began to fire heavy shells the
insurgents 'rather gained than lost
ground in spite of the tremendous fire
of the Russian and Austrian vessels.‘
{ltogether about 100 shells were fired."
