The Cretan Question Has .Not Been
I Definitely Settled.
I EN GLAND HAS TAKEN A PORT
An Impression Prevails That She Has
Thereby Stolen a March on Her Ri-
vals—The Turks Are Arming.
Powers Unable to Agree.
LONDON, March 2.—'The public feeling
at Athens is that nothing can prevent the
powers from coming to blows over Crete.
The rumor was circulated yesterday that
the English flag alone had been hoisted
over the fortress of Izzeding.
Everybody immediately jumped to the
conclusion that England was trying to
steal a march on the other powers by seiz-
ing Suda harbor.
It seems certain, one correspondent says,
that one of the great powers is now urging
the sultan to take the offensive immedi—
agely, possibly with the intention of step-
ng in to protect Greece in case the Turks
should overrun Thessaly, but more prob-
ably with the ulterior design of seizing
Constantinople. ‘
Yesterday a Greek c1uiser landed 100
Turkish prisoners on Greek soil. As yet
the Turkish minister here maintains
friendly relations.
It is stated that Colonel Vasscs, com-
mander of the Greek forces in Crete, has
' started for the interior and will establish
his headquarters at Alikianu. The health
of his army is excellent.
A Constantinople correspondent reports
that 15,000 troops have already been re—
' moved from Asia into Europe. The rail-
way officials cannot provide for forwarding
these soldiers toward Salonika at the rate
of more than 3,000 daily.
According to an Athens dispatch. the
Greek carnival revels passed off yesterday
with the usual spirit and enthusiasm, the
masqueraders promenading in every quar-
ter of the city and forming a strange con-
trast to the infantry and cavalry patrols.
Ruhem Pasha, it is understood, will pro-
‘ ceed on Tuesday to take command of the
forces on the Macedonian frontier.
The Athens correspondent of The Daily
, Chronicle declares that no communication
has been received from Russia. It is quite
certain that the Greek 'ermy will not be
withdrawn.
Macedonian forces will be raised within
a few weeks, with a view to possible ,con-
tingencies, and if the Turks attempt to
invade Thessaly the Bulgarian govern-
ment is determined to advance its troops
instantly to the ZEgean sea. It is rumor-
ed that the secret national 'committee has
decided to commence operations in Mace-
donia tomorrow.
Counsel Prompt Action.
Special dispatches today state that the
Turks succeeded in revictualing the block—
housa at Malaxa, but were attacked by in-
surgents on their return.
The consuls at Candia have signed a tel-
egram imploring the powers not to delay
a decision. The town is so crowded with
, Moslems that famine threatens great loss
of life.
Hundreds Of sheep and cattle are already
dying from want of fodder. The insur-
gents have completely cordoned Candia.
The greatest anxiety exists also as to
the situational; Salinos, where the armis-
tice agreed upon by the powers expires to-
day. The insurgents are in a worse mood
than ever and thoroughly determined.
At a conference of the representatives
of the powers last evening it was decided
to withdraw the collective note inviting
Greece to retire her fleet and troops from
Crete.
It is said that no date was fixed for the
recall, the instructions of the representa-
tives of the powers on this point being at
variance. A collective note will be pro-1
sented Tuesday.
The Constantinople correspondent Of
The Standard says the sultan has sent a
special envcv to invite the cooperation of
the AlbaniLAS in the event of an invasion
of Greece. Albania has accepted the pro-
posal, but demands autonomy under local
beys.
Payment of all civil service salaries has
been stopped since the commencement of
the war scare.
A Home dispatch says the dispatch boat
Capera, with live torpedo boats, left Mes-
sina yesterday for Crete.
The war minister has ordered a number
of gendarmes to be in readiness to start
for Crete tomorrow night.
Roma says that 5,000 men, now under
orders for Africa, are to be made ready to
go to ,Crete under a lieutenant general.
Greek Transport Checked. °
KHAXIA, Island of Crete, March_2.—The
Greek transport Mykele, after a parley
with the commander of the British battle—
ship Berfleur, has been allowed to land the
stores sent by the Red Cross society, but
was not allowed to land provisions.
There is a great scarcity of food on ac-
count cf the blockade maintained by the
fleets of the powers. The British Consul
has received appeals for bread from ten
different places.
The commission appointed to reorganize
the European gendarmerie has held a meet-
ing, but it was unable to act, as no funds
are available to pay the men.
The Montenegrin gendarmes refuse to
serve on promises of being paid for thoii
services in the future. Consequently it is
considered piobable that the Montenegrins
will be disbanded.
Granite Cutters Strike.
BOSTON, March 2.—-More than 200 gran-
ite cutters in Boston and vicinity struck
work today in accordance with an order
of the Boston branch of the National Union
of Granite Cutters. ’The grievance is the
refusal of the Boston Granite Manufactur-
ers’ association to sign an agreement as to
price and hours of labor for the ensuing
year.
Shoe Strikers Return to \Vork.
LYNN, Mass, March 2.—All the strikers
at the shoe factory of Harney Bros. return-
ed to work today, and everything is quiet
in and around the building. No further
trouble is anticipated. .
