' WHY BRITAIN DISAPPROVED
Berlin Newspapers Make Dark Insinua-
tions: as to England’s Policy—Denial
l of a Massacre Story—The Greeks
Are Again Victorious.
BERLxN, Feb. 20.——The newspapers of
this city reflect the bitter resentment felt
by Emperor William at the rejection by
the Marquis of Salisbury of his majesty’s
? personal propOsaI ’to coerce Greece by a
joint blockade by the fleets of the powers
of the Piraeus, the port of Athens, in or-
— derto check the warlike demonstrations
r- - of Greece. The emperor’s proposal caused
.. great surprise in diplomatic circles, as it
was generally assumed that he would not
opp0se the Greek pretensions in regard to
Crete, owing to his own sister, Sophia, be-
* ing the wife of the Duke of Sparta, the
crown prince of Greece. But it appears
that there has long been an absolute
estrangement between the emperor and .
his sister, arising from old time quarrels,
and. his majesty, in addition, has never
been overfriendly to the royal family of
Greece. " ,
In diplomatic circles it is surmised that
Emperor William’s dignity was in some
manner ofi'endcd, probably by the firm at-
titude assumed by Greece in the face of
the remonstrances of the powers, and of
Germany in particular, and hence the ex-
.treme proposal to blockade the Piraeus,
which was urged by his majesty with un-
usual vehemence, through the ambassadors
here, upon the European cabinet.
The Marquis of Salisbury, without any
hesitation, promptly declined the emper-
or’s proposition, saying that public Opin-
ion in Great Britain would never acquiesce
in such a policy.
The National Zeitung pointedly charges
Great Britain with attempting to disturb
the peace of Europe and says: “The im-
mediate future will show whether the
' agreement of'the powers will be disturbed
”by a manifestation of separate British in-
,terests which promises to raise the veil
“hitherto shrouding the origin of this ex-
tremely strange Greek adventure. From
the outset we have been of the opinion that
it was, not so much to attack Turkey as to
strike a blow at European peace.”
Policy of Vassos.
LONDON, Feb. 20.—-A dispatch to The
Times from Athens says: “Colonel Vassos
has, issued an order advising his men to
avOid any collision with the foreign ma.
\rines and exhorting the Cretans to treat
fairly both the Europeans and the Mos-
lems. He promises the latter protection
and religious equality, but will try to per-
isuade them to quit the island. He will
punish severely all acts of violence against
them. Turkish soldiers who yield will be
disarmed and sent to Smyrna or other
points in Turkey. The chief of the gen-
darmerie has ordered the Greek consulate
at Khania guarded, the foreign marines
changing daily according to nationality.”
' A dispatch to The Standard from Mos-
cow says: “In the event of certain con-
tingencies it is already arranged that Ger-
man troops are to traverse Russian terri-
tory and co-operate with the Russian forces
, i in the Kiev district.” '
A dispatch to The Daily News from
Khania says: “There is no confirmation of
l the rumor that the Cretans have massacred
: 2,300 Moslems in the Sitia district. TWO
Italian ofliccrs have been sent with a gun-
l boat to make inquiries. ”
f The Khania correspondent of The Times
l says that he is informed upon the best of
l authority that Colonel Vassos is comply-
: ing with the powers’ injunction to abstain
from active hostilities. .
The garrison of FortZVOIikolies, com-
prising 300 soldiers and 100 Cretan Mus-
. sulmans, after being dislodged by the
Greek artillery, retired to Allikianu, where
this force was again beleaguered. Fight-
ing is still proceeding. The government
‘ has armed anumber of Mussulman volun-
teers, who have started to the rescue of
their coreligionists.

New Canaan Liquor'DeaIers
Claim the Returns at Last
Election Illegal.
Ask the Court for a Recount. .
An interesting case which involves
the temperance loving people of New
Canaan and as well has a deep interest
for the saloon keepers of that town, was
argued before Judge Ralph Wheeler in
the Superior court yesterday morning.
The matter came up on a motion. filed
by Attorneys Light .b Taylor of South
Norwalk to quash the mandamus pro-
ceedings instituted by the saloon keep-
ers of the town of New Canaan to come
pel a recount of the license vote in that
town at the last election. The s .Ioon
keepers claim that the vote should have
resulted in favor of license and when
‘ihe moderator announced his decision
on the other side there was a general
howl andthe mandamus was issued by
Attorney Kennelly and Judge Curtis
in behalf of- the rum sellers.
The mandamus asks that the ballots
cast in that election be counted in a le-
gal manner, and that the town clerk
be compelled to record such count and
that a report of the same be forwarded
to the secretu'y of state; The papers
allege that in the vote as deposited the
vote should have stood, 264 for no li-
cense and 265 for license. The increase
of two for no license is accounted for
by the saloon keepers in on interes‘ing
manner. When the ballot: box was
opened, there were found two ballots
for no “06183 which they claim should
have been thrown out. One of TLILSB
was a doublet and the other had been
enclosed first in a private envelope and
then placed in the Official envelope.
Both of these ballots were counted by
the moderator for no license and this
raised the vote to one m~jirity in is-
vor of the advocates of temperance.
The saloon men claim that this count
was not legal end ask the ccurll for a
recount. '
Attorneys Light & Taylor represent
the town In the action and have filed a
motion, to quash which was heard yes-
terday morning. Attorney Light ur-
gued that the defects complained of did
not require a recount and that the
moderator should nor have made any
other rcru t of the count than the one
which he announc:d. Counsel further
claimed that the ballots which were
counted Were plopelly counted in ac-
cordance with the Iuw- governing the
Voting of lICeI se and no license ballots.
He also claimed that i; did not appear
fer the ill egalioos :n the cOmplaint
that the public are endangered in any
say by tile. operation of the law as it
now exists. He claimed the mandamus
should not lie. Mr. Ligbtarguedlustly
that the respondents have not the power
to do what the p'ltint-iffs ask 'he court
to compel them to do. The case was
argued at lenglh and dec sum “in re
