CRETAN AFFAIRS.
GREECE is IN ACTIVE SYMPATHY
WITH CUBA
Turks, Oretans all Lay the Blame of the
Exciting Conditions Upon the
Vascillation of the Powers

New YORK. July % "A special
to the Herald from Athens Gays
Today on the point of leaving for
Crete your correspondent can tes-
tify to the unfailing sympathy Of
every Greek, the king, the prime
minister, the foreign mlnister-of
every Greek abroad and at home
with the Cretan cause. Indeed
that public sympathy has several
times been on the verge Of swamp
ing governmental wisdom and re-
straint.
Greece wishes the union of Crete
to herself. 1t is her most cher
ished hope. She sees in it the on
ly means by which peace can be
assured in the future, and the
Greek people are prepared for end
less sacrifices for that Ito it, sacred,
just and patriotic end. The Gre
tan's fire is burning fiercely and is
extending and gaining ground at
every moment. Even the diplo-
mats have, in spite Of themselves,
been fired with it. Sons Of noble
Greek families are in the "Whito
mountains" of Crete and about
Remeto and Kasano, undergoing
the discomforts of rough guerilla
life as volunteers against the
Turks. The purse strings Of both
rich and poor Greeks have been
unloosened to buy cartridges and
munitions OF war, intended to aid
and enable the Christians to con.
tinue the struggle for autonomy or
annexation to Greece, and solid
political men talk calmly OF Greece
being compelled to assist the Gre
tans, financially, in spite Of the
depleted condition of her treasury.
They hold that Crete, unsatis.
tiled, means a constant menace to
the peace of Europe and an unend-
ing strain on Greek resources,
while the government, which Gre
tophile public opinion accuses OF
apathy and worse, calls loudly
upon the powers to coerce the sui
tan into giving an acceptable form
of government and thus justify
their policy Of non-interference.
And thus, after all, to Cretans,
Turks and Greeks alike, the pow
ers have played q misleading role
at having encouraged and dis
couraged each in turn and leading
them into confused state, which
is unjust to the Turks, as well as
to all the rest.
Cretan members of the revolu-
tionary committee, who called on
your correspondent the other day,
said:
"If the powers would only let us
alone we could settle this whole
matter easily"
All Greece echoes: "If it had
not been for the powers we should
have sent our ships to Canea and
the Cretan uprising would have
been settled and become question
OF the past long ago."
While Turkey very rightly cries :
"a pest upon the powers They
won't say, they can not agree,
whether they want us to give Crete
autonomy or not, and they en-
courage the Cretsns against us and
then cry 'Horros p Any stick is
good enough to beat the Turk
with, any movement satisfactory
which places him between the an
vii and hammer. Had we been
left alone we would have known
what to do"
