the hands O1 the Government Capt Strong begged
to assure the Government that he should take the
jpS6 dtt ot no one to the actual state OF affairs
with regard To the families but take the precautiOn
lncy. l Judge that from the quality of the facts
which he las come across so far there can be lttle
Doubt that has opinion won't accord with that OF Eai
Derby.
However the CanaDdUgua got up surprise party
az hetnnO day or two ,tteI, ana mad ch&acc ol
looking m on the refugees, tiiree hQBdTed or moe
imprisoned IN sOTe-hOnse schO0l-hOuse, and the
bishops residence. The pretense OF the Government
th6t they had been provided tOT by IT, was, OF course
mere pTetense. The English gn-boat Wizard had
left them lew stores three days before ana part oI
these had been given them, but previously 10 that
nothing from the Government. When the Italian
corvette GuiscardO called there two weeks ago she
found them starving and gave them what couid DE
spared from her stores the ScC-GoNcrnOI promising
to look after them, The Italian cQmmandant Ol lue
station has made direct and energetic demand OF
the Govennent to feed them or let HIM take them
of When the Wizard passed, some days later the
Government had yet done nothing. When We were
there however, most of them were looking toleraDy
well fed, but dTeadfully crowded tOgetheI-thc

reported ten OF more deaths of children day liOlh
Group and other clildTens diseases.
The same persons reported that body ol troops
who went out from Retim0 two three days before
had been ravaung the district of MylOpolamo, and
had butchered all the Christians they came on,
amounting 10 50, all of them peaceabe, unaImed per
sons working on their lands.
Under these auspices the InsurTcctlOn IS taking q
new stimulus, and the people are rising again whcr-
ever they had once submitted. Submission snO pro
lection and they begin TO realize IT. and henceior-
ward there Will be few male nOn-cOmbatants. lhe
fighting is renewed with greater intensity than ever
and new troops are arriving hut the case ~ hopeless
Eight months ago there were 4G,0C0 troops IN the
island and the insurgents had but five charges OF
powder and bali per man now there are with the
IetntOrCements not more than 200O0 troops and the
people have nearly all got rifles and plenty of powder
ANY Yankee boy who can WORK rule Oi three can see
what the Sultan cannot.
Things growing stringent. The Mussuiman
grow every daV more and more insOlcnt ana angry
and some of the COnsuls are making preparations 10
send their families of. Only those who have ships
oi war here viii remain with security The Turks
declare that if they must leave the island they Will
leave il u ruins and give the Christians cause To re
member t. The Sultan ~ sad 10 be furious almost
TO insanity over the prolonged resistance aud OBJ
stiuacy of the CrctanS and 10 he resolved To make
no concessions To them, whatever he may do TO the
rest Of the Empire. In the meanwhile Russia ~ get

take charge Of the iTon-c!ad fleet at CTonSadt and
all hands are taking up arms IL Is not impossible
that Turkish ObstinaCy may bring on another NaNa-

of Earl Derbys speech IN the House OF Lords may
find it necessary to do something in thc opposite
sense. aud finally II may be that the Turks won't
have the choice as 10 who shall be depOrted from
Crete. a few weeks Will tell.
Meanwhile. between wars and rumOrs az wars,
and earthquakes famncs and pestIlences, which all
this misery and starvation must produce. We shall
have cause TO think of Dr. Cummings and the latter
days.
