WASHINGTON, July 21.-The latest
official accounts received at the Greek
Legation give terrible accounts of
Turkish cruelties in Crete. The
Cretans inflicted severe punishment
on one of Omar Pasha's spies.
Omar, in retaliation, crucified a
Greclan priest, in order, say the de-
spatches, to satiate his revenge and
cast odium on the Christian religion,
from which Omar is apostacised, hav-
ing himself been born Christian. He
next besieged a cavern in which
Greek women and children had taken
refuge, closing the mouth and leav-
ing them to lie of starvation. The
dispatches state that the Turkish
Government declines to yield to the
remonstrances of the European pow
ers regarding Omar Pasha's conduct.
