‘GHEEKS AHH DHTIANT. Their Admiral’s Plucky Reply to the Warning of the Powers. ORDERS ONLY EROM ATHENS. Massacre of 2,000 Turks Reported. and the Khania Moslems Threaten Con- sulates In Retaliation—Russia. , and Greece Are at Odds. ATHENS, March 3.——Advices received here from Khania report that the foreign admirals have demanded that the Greek warships leave Cretan waters within 24 hours. To this demand Commodore Rein- eck, commanding the Greek warship Hy- dra, replied that he would only obey the orders of his own government. If his ves- sel were sunk, he declard, he would salute the foreign flags as she went down. The government is informed that the garrison of the town of Kandamos, Crete, which had been captured by the insur- gents, comprised 1,200 Turkish soldiers. The government has wired the Greek vice consul at Khania instructing him to start at once for Selino and use his influence in behalf of the Moslems who have been made prisoners there. The chambei of deputies adopted, by a vote of 125 to}! -, a resolution of confidence in the government, the opposition party abstaining from voting. It is now stated that the powers will present identical notes to'Greece instead of a collective note. Mussulmans Reported lifassacred. PARIS, March 3.—A diSpatch from Khania says it is reported there that 2,000 Mussulmans, who were interned in the fortress nea‘r Selino, have all been mas- sacred, and that great apprehension is felt in regard to the fate of 6,000 Mussulmans who are besieged near Candia. Salisbury's Firm Stand. KHANIA, Island of. Crete, March 3.—-Tho insurgents effected a junction with the . Greek regulars before bombarding the blockhouse at Stavaros on Sunday. The Mussul‘mans of Khania are so incensed and excited at the danger of their co-re— ligionists that the lives of Europeans are in danger, and the foreign consulates are threatened. A Cretan blue book has been issued, cov- ' ering a period between February, 1895, and September, 1896. It is chiefly inter- esting as going to show Lord Salisbury’s steady refusal to accept Count_Goluchow— ski’s proposal to blockade the Piraeus in the event that Greece should disregard the collective note of the powers enjoining a stoppage of the importation of arms and the sending of volunteers into Crete. Count Goluchowski expressed great re- gret at the attitude of Lord Salisbury and the fear that further massacres would re- sult. It appears that Lord Salisbury contend- ed that it was not an even handed policy to use the fleets of the powers against the Greeks and only diplomatic remonstranoe against the sultan. As far back as September Lord Salis- bury virtually advocated autonomy for Crete, and declared that he could only join in coercive measures against Greece' in case she should make a hostile attack upon the integrity of the Turkish empire. Russia and Greece at Odds. LONDON, March .—A dispatch from Constantinople to the Frankfort Zeitung is published here which states that all re- lations between the courts of St Peters— burg and Athens have been broken off. The Athens papers state that King George will shortly proceed to Thessaly to maneuver 25,000 men on the Pharsalia plains. Three thousand Turkish troops who were in garrison at Janina have been dispatched to the frontier. It is alleged that they pillaged Christian villages while on route. Advices from Khania say that the fall of Candamo has‘caused a complete rupture between the boys and the Mohammedan population there who have appealed to the Greek vice consul to save their compatriots in Candamo. He has agreed to do this on condition that the admirals supply the means to en- able them to proceed to Selino, and that the civil governor, Ismail Pasha, gives a written order to the Turks to quit Can— damo under the Greek guarantee of safety. The blockhouse at Stavaros was bom- barded on Sunday. The governor of Se- lino reports that a massacre is imminent at Candamo, which is over two hours’ march from the sea and behind the menu. tains. British Consul Biliotti has gone to Suda to consult with the British ad— miral as to what should be done. An Athens dispatch says that it is likely that a (late will be fixed for the withdrawal of the Greek forces from Crete. The prob- ability is that the Greek government will absolutely refuse to evacuate the island. A dispatch from Constantinople says that the presentation of the note to the porte has been postponed, as the form re- quires amendment. A later dispatch from Athens says that the Greek vice consul at Khania, who was authorized to go to Selino on board the foreign warship, has reported that the Mussulmans at Khania theatened to pro- claim the union of the island with Greece and murder the boys because of the bin- drance which the latter have placed upon their efforts to induce the Greek vice con- sul to save the women and children. The foreign consuls have conferred and demanded that warships be sent from Suda bay to Selino. Battleships Hav'e Stemn Up. LONDON, March 3.——Unwonted activity prevails in the dockyards at Portsmouth, Chatham and Sheerness, where the men are working overtime and all leaves of ab- sence have been cut off. Upon several . battleships at Portsmouth steam is being kept up night and day. The Grant Tomb Dedication. BOSTON, March 3.—Boston’s distin- guished military organization, the An- cient and Honorable Artillery company, will attend the dedication of Grant’s tomb in New York on April 27. This was de- cided upon at a special meeting of the company. Beaten Man Dies. . ORANGE, N. J., March 3.—William A. Best, an East Orange grocer, is dead.
