The .Powers Conjointly Warn Her
Against Hostile Action.

 

Promise Dispassionate Consideration of
H Greece's Claim to Creteg—Mussulmans
Attack Christians and Are
Forced to Retire.

 

ATHENS, Feb. 16.—The representatives
of the powers accredited to Greece held two
meetings, their conferences taking place at I
the French legation. At the second meet- 5
ing it was agreed that the powers, through
their ministers at Athens, should protest
a-gainSt Greek intervention in Crete, and
as a result of this decision the French
minister, M. Bouree, waited upon M. l
Delaynnis, the Greek premier,and intimat-
cd'to him that the powers had determined
to take decisive steps, even resorting to
rrms, to prevent Greece from taking
further hostile action in Crete. M. Bouree,
as the spokesman of the representatives of
the powers, advised the immediate recall'
of the Greek flotilla from Crete, and at the I
same time promised that the powers would .
take into consideration the claims of 1
Greece in Crete and the question of a union

 

Premier Delyannis asked time in which
to reply to the representations made by M.
Bouree, which request was granted.

The military reserve forces are respond- .
ing with great unanimity to the govern- 1
ment’s summons and are flocking to the I
military depots in large numbers. The
military bureaus report that the lists of
the reserves will be made up within two
days.

To Avoid Open “7am

CONSTANTINOPLE. Feb. ls.—The opinion
here in official circles is that the fleets of
the powers will be instructed to occupy the
island of Crete very shortly and that
pressure will be brought to bear upon both
Turkey and Greece in order that open war 3
may be avoided. Should actual hostilities }
commence Turkey would have little dif— ;
ficulty in sending an overwhelming force
of troops into Thessaly. But the Turks
fear that the island of Crete in any case is
practically lost to the Ottoman empire.

There are already indications in the
Balkan peninsula that war between Greece
and Turkey would be fOIIOWed by a serious
conflagration there, and it is not believed
that the powers are yet ready to face such
a condition of affairs. _ ‘

In the meanwhile Turkey is preparing
for eventualities, and the calling out of the
Greek army reserves of the class of 1893
and 1895 will be met by the assembling Of
the Turkish troops near the frontier of
Greece. A large Turkish force at Salonika
is in readiness to move at any moment. It
is not believed, however, that war will be
declared. Most important communications
are being exchanged between the embassa-
dors of the powers and the porte, and it is
understood that the sultan has received as-
surances that Greece will not be allowed to
disturb the peace Of Europe, although cer-
tain :irregularities in her recent actions
will have to be overlooked. It has also
been represented to the sultan that King'-
George had to choose between a revolution
in Greece and a demonstration in Cretan
waters upon the part of the Greek fleet and
that naturally be bowed to popular clamor
and sent the torpedo flotilla to Crete.

The Turkish oflicials, under the circum-‘
stances, are behaving admirably and are
seemingly willing to meet the views of the
powers in every way. It is true that the
alternative may be the threatened disrup-
tion of the Turkish empire, but, in any
case, the Turks are not fretting under the
prohibition placed upon them of sending
re-enforcements to Crete, and in so doing
the sultan is acting in a highly politic
manner. Indeed the Cretan trouble has,
at least for the moment, driven the more
important question of the projected re-
forms for the Turkish empire Into the
background so effectually that there are
people who intimate that the wily Turk
has been at the bottom of all the recent de-
velopmcnts in Crete and even at Athens

Crete has been secretly fostered in order to
draw the attention of Europe away from
more important matters.

Powers Blockade Cretan Ports.

KHANIA, Crete, Feb. iii—The Greek
flotilla is lying at anchor outside of the
cordon which has been formed by the war-
ships of the powers and will not be per—
mitted to come any nearer. The foreign
Warships are practically blockading Reti—
mo and Khania.

The reports that the Greek flotilla added
large quantities of arms and ammunition
intended for the use of the insurgents dur-
ing the night of Feb. 1:3 or at any subse-
quent time are absolutely untrue. The
number of insurgents who are gathered
around Khania is estimated at 12,000.
They have only one field gun.

The Turks, under the cover of four of
the guns of the fortress, made a sortie on
Saturday upon the Greek quarter of the
town, where a hot fight ensued, resulting
in the Turks being driven back by the
Christians and compelled to retire to the
fortress. A force of 1,7 00 Moslcms, regu-
lars and volunteers, after nightfall made
another sortie; which was stout-1y opposed
by the Christians. The fighting which en-
sued was Of a most desperate character,
and the losses on both sides were heavy.
The Moslems finally returned to the for-
tress. .

It is thought that,_despitc the vigilance
of the warships of the powers, the Greek
transport ships may succeed in landing an
expedition in the bay of Kissamo.

It was stated this afternoon that the
British naval commander has notified
Prince George of Greece that, in the event
of the latter executing the orders he has
received from the king and the Greek gov-
ernment, he will be compelled to use force
against him. ‘ .

This unexpected attitude of the British
commander ’has produced a painful im-
pression among the Cretan Christians, who
regard the prince as sent to defend them
from their Mussulman fees.

The Turks at Retimo have pillaged all
the Christian shops and the bishop’s palace.

Greece Is Stubborn;

BERLIN, Feb. 16.—A semioflicial state-
ment on the Cretan question has been
published here. It is as follows: ’

“In reply to the representations which
the ministers of all the great powers at
Athens made to the Greek government

ropean peace from the attitude taken up
by Greece contrary to international law,
M. Skouzes, the minister for foreign ail-

 

Crete. In vicwof thisfact the imperial
government no longer considers it cons '

sonant with its dignity to take further
diplomatic steps at Athens. , '

“After an exchange of‘ views with the
cabinets of the other great powers the com-
mander of the German warship Kaiserin
Augusta, which will arrive at Khania
within the next few days, has received in-
sin'uctions in conjunction with the com-
manders of the naval forces of the other
great powers assembled in Cretan waters
to prevent any hostile act upon the part of
Greece and also to co-operate with them
in every possible way with the view of re-
storing order and averting further blood-
shed. ”

Owing to urgent state business Emperor
William , today abandoned his proposed
visit to Potsdam, where he had engaged
to lunch with the hussars of the body-
guard.

The Situat_on In Vienna.
VIENNA, Feb. 16.—The semiofficial
Fremdenblatt today, confirming the report
that the powers had accepted the proposal
Of Great Britain for the occupation of
Khania, Heraklion and Retimo by the

marines of the foreign fleets, adds:
“The commander of the Austrian war-
ships has already received instructions to

' co-operatc with the others, and, if neces-

sary. force will be used to prevent further
hostile action upon the part of Greece. ”

Chicago Greeks Aroused.

CHICAGO, Feb. 16.——-The Greek colony in
Chicago was greatly excited over the news
of the firing on the Turkish transport by
one of the Greek fleet. The men declared
that if there was a war they would hurry
back to Greece to take up arms for their
country. There are 2,000 Greeks in Chi-

! cago. Should afiTairs assume a more serious

aspect there is no doubt that‘a regiment of
fighting men will he enlisted in this city.

lice, Salem, Orei, says: “Out of the scores of
cough medicines in the market there is only
one I have any confidence in and that is

is infallible'is with children subject to crou .
I keep it in my home at all times.” Forsa e

THE PARIS nxrosrrion.

’ Plans For Buildings, Including Two Por-

manent Structures.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—Preparati0ns for
the great exposition at Paris to commemo-
rate the close of the present century have
so far advanced as to warrant United
States Consul Morse at the French capital
in sending to the state department a most
elaborate report upon the governmental
enterprise.

The exposition will open April 15, 1900,
and close Nov. 5 of the same year. The
site will comprise the public grounds on
both sides of the Seine, from the Place de
la Concorde, in the center of the city, to
a. point beyond the Pont de Jena, embrac-
ing the Champ de Mars, the Trocadero
palace and park (site of the exposition of
1889), the Esplanade des Invalides, the
Quay d’Orsay, the Quay de la Conference,
the Cour 1a Reine and a large section of
the Champs Elysees, including the site of
the Palais de l’Industrie, the great build-
ing erected for the exposition of 1865, the
first of the series.

The unique Trocadero palace will be
used again as well as several of the exposi-
tion halls of 1889 in the Champ de Mars,
but all will undergo modification. The
Eiffel tower will be preserved. The Palais
de l’Industrie will disappear, and on its
site will rise a magnificent fine arts hall,
to remain as a permanent monument. To
the west of the same site will be built the
hall of liberal arts, also a permanent struc-
ture. ’

Parks and gardens will be laid out in all
parts of the city. The roads leading to the
Bois will be laid out in terraces covered by
flowers, and extensive use will be made of
electric light.

. Germans Must Tend Two Looms.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-—-A pitiful story
for the mill worker is that told by United
States'Consul Monohan at Chemnitz, in a
report to the state department. He says
that, seeking the reason for the loss to
England of American and other markets
for textiles, the German manufacturers
believe they have found it in the fact that
in England a mill hand tends two looms,
while in Germany he tends but one. Hence
the word has gone out that the English
practice is to prevail in Germanv.
