DO NOT WANT CRETE.
AN UNQUALIFIED DENIAL FROM
THE CREEKS.
Situation of Affairs, However. is OF
Such n Character That No One
Knows What May Happen Next.

NEW YORK, June 10.-A Specialize
the Herald from Vienna says
In an address to the Austrian dele
cation, Count Goluchowsky, minister
of foreign affairs, explained the foreign
policy Of the government, in the course
Of his remarks declaring that the situa-
ton in Crete was of such a character
that it was impossible to say what
would happen next. The condition OF
things prevailing in the island, he said,
was due to the maladministratio of
public affairs by the Turkish authori-
ties. Turkey, he added, ought to take
measures in her European and Asiatic
provinces which would justify conf
dence in the vital force of the Ottoman
empire, otherwise, he said, Turkeys
best friends, including Austria, would
be unable to prevent the empires fail.
An inspired article appears in the
Wiener Tageblat. According to news
emanating from Constantinople the
Porte is said to appreilend that there
will be further complications in con-
nection with the rising in Crete. we
here do not think so. The news from
Constartinople, as from Athens, is I'M
reliable. In onStantinople they are
said to fear that Greece wishes to an
mex Crete and that Russia and France
will help.
The Greeks say they absolutely do
not wish to annex Crete. Greece has
sent out a memorial to the foreign
ministers which asks other powers TO
plead with Turkey that order may be
restored in the island. All the powers
approached Turkey in that direction
Thus it is wrong that in CONSTANT

responsibility ON Greece. Russia has
INTERVIEWED in a most energetic man
ner and it is interesting to know that
Germany has decided to act with
Russia. The Austrian embassy acted
in the liveliest manner so as to i11fiu-
ence Turkey. She should re-establish
order in Crete and give necessary re-
forms.
This, of course, as the editor of the
paper remarks is highly important, as
every one knows nowadays that Rus
STA rules Turkeys foreign policy.
The editor of the Neue Freie Presse
said that to him the Cretan question
has left its acute form and fallen into
the range of diplomacy. That question
was a serious one, for if England had
demanded reform Russia would have
to go with her against Turkey. Tur-
Key s only Dian was W give way
At the Office of the Fremden BAIT
the foreign editor insisted, as did ouh-
ers, that it was unfair to say that Eng
land has stirred up the Cretan insur-
reotion 1t could not, according to him,
be even entertained as reasonable, for
England had absolutely nothing to
gain thereby The Armenian question
has been easily settled. The Cretaln
question: Isl a trif1e in comparison.
Austria would uphold her colleagues.
He said they were all as one. He look
ed upon the question as one purely of
local growth. Matters are in a fearful
condition in Crete, and large quartz
ties of guns are being sent from
Greece.
The Neue Freie Presse received the
following from it's special correspond
emit at Athens:
ST met some newly arrived refugees
at the Piraeus this morning. They say
that ON Friday and Saturday fighting
took place at Amigadolo. when $50
Turks were killed or wounded in
Canea.
I'm consequence, excitement again
became great. A Turkish warshfp
bonn barded several coast villages and
mere Christian villages have been
burned"
