clare that Haraklion, which is filled
with Mohammedan refugees, only needs
a spark in order to set a general mas
sacre going, although the presence of
the British and French war ships in
the harbor is apparently having a sa-
lutary effect. But Turkey is certainly
in very bad way just now, for in addi-
tion to the insurrection in Crete there
is a sort of revolution aided by the
Greeks and Bulgarians proceeding in
Macedonia, where the Turkish troops
have been repeatedly repulsed and the
Druses' uprising is engaging the at
tention of the Turkish Government in
another direction.
Under the circumstances it is not as
tonishing that there are people who
really believe that the dismemberment
of the Turkish empire is again contem
plated, and that Great Britain may now
be willing to see this take place, even
if it is only in order to set her cOnti
mental enemies fighting over the spoil.

Fifty armed settlers proceeded to the
