Publishing .falss news Tho o6fcihl papss
has three times informed the pablic that the
Island Of Crate has besn subdued, and The
war ended BY the submission Of thS insur-
eents. Unfortunately, each sut6ugatioa
would appear TO have been followed " sharp
II contested battles, in some of which The
Turks were mot victorious.
"Now We have fourth declasaai0i that al
10 over. The insurgents have Ill lid down
their arms excspt : fsw insigni6cadt bands
Who are lurking among the snovba4ks near
the summit Of Mount Ida.
1.-THE condemnation of the Leyant Herald
10 added to this declaration to make il doubly
sure. Who can doubt it now? You may If
you choose. may ii keep my doubts to
myself; but the principles Of law laid down
BY the tribunal which judged the Levant
Herald do not encourage ~ to express such
doubts here. TWAS solemnly declared to be
| fundamental principle Of Turkish law that
| the burden of proof always rests upon the
defendent. The accused must always be sup
posed ~ be guilty until he is able 70 establish
| his innocence.
| 1.-THE editor of tho Levsnt Herald Wa &C.
cused Of publishing false news. No proof Of
this waa adduced, nor was the editor allowed
| time to bring witnesses from Crete 70 sub

vestigate the facts, but this WAS refused ~
| derogatory to the dignity Of the Government.
He was then condemned to pay 6ne Of $50
on the principle above mentioned. This il
law in Turkey, and this is the freedom Of the
press in Constantinople."

Bonnets-A marked change is at this mo

its day, and chapeaux Of the style known Al

narrowest possible rim, we'll SCOPE ID out be
