Denounced by tnortertnnns For NOT Aoo-
ing with the Powers In Crete.
BERLIN, Aug lo--Politioal interest
now oenters In the insurrecti0h in Crete
and the means 20 restore tranquility in
that island, where the Christians aremak-
ing'a desperate attompt to throw of tho
yoke Of Turkish rule, In which they arc
being aided by Greeks who desire 60 soc
Crete part of the Grocian dominions.
All sorts of reports regarding massacres
and the destruction Of villages by the
Turks and excuses on the part OF the
Christian Inhabitants are almost daily orr
cnlated. Only one thing is certain, and
that is that the situation on tho island is
deplorahle
1t Is the consensus of official opinion
that something should be done by tho pow
efs in concert TO put an end 60 the present
state OF aifaiDs. The German press, espe-
cially the Bislnarokian and Conservative
organs, which never attempt to conceal
their hostility TO England and all things
English, are particularly sore over whnt
was practically the refusal of Lord Sails
bury TO join a blockade Of Crete and his
alleged ohampioning OF Greece and the
Cretans. These papers have been at loss
to find opithots strong enough TO denounoo
Great Britain for, hor refusal to join In a
joint naval blockade OF Crete 60 prevent
the insurgents from obtaining arms, am
munition and other supplies.
German opinion strongly favored a
blockade but Gfuat Britain commended
that II it were established It must be d.
rected against Turkey as well as against
Greece-that is, the wnrships should be
employed to prevent the entrance OF Turk
ish troops 60 re enforce those already on
the island while ut the same time thoy
prevented the sending of Greoian supplies
to the insurgents
1t is oontended, with good reason, that
Lord Salisbury well know the powers
would not agree to this. and consequently
| the negotiations for joint action are az d
standstill and will probably remain so FOR
some time. To Impartial observers OF the
situation it is pretty we'll known that
| Great Britain will, after her experience IN
tho Armenian matter, no longer act az
protector OF Turkey and that she Will lei
Russia which blocked her plans IN regard
/ to Armenia, take all tho responsibility foi
| Turkish misrule.
In official circles here the idea is repudi
| ated that there Is anything In the situa
| tion that endangers the pence Of Europe
| 1t is even thought that matters are II
some way tending toward a concert of TIT
powers, which, however, may DO Qs fulfill
as tho much talked Of concert anent AR
| menia, where the diplomats found all thei
plans frustrated by the diplomacy Of Rms
STA In the meantime the anarchy whiol
prevails in Crete demands that some 40
ton DO taken that will restore pence G.
the island, but what that action shall b
is difficult to decide.

A COSTLY ACCIDENT.
A Mishap In the Brooklyn Navy Yard

Cost the Government 100000.
BRooKLYN, Aug. 10.-An accident
which caused upward OF SlOe, 600 damage
occurred at the navy yard here. The scene
OF the disaster was the drydook built
about seven years ago. This dock Is 400
feet long, 65 feet wide and has q depth
of q feet The officers at the navy yard
were extremely reticent when asked for
an explanation OF the trouble. AS nearly
as can be ascertained a wave caused by a
passing sound steamer which forced itself
past the heavy caisson at the mouth of tho
drydock and uapsized 1t, throwing it into
the dock and allowing the water to rush
in, was the cause of the mischief.
The dock was nearly empty at the time,
md the force of the water rushing In
caused the moorings OF the torpedo boat
Ericsson TO snap. The torpedo beat was
hurled against the end of the dock, carry
ing away about feet Of the forward end
Of the boat The Monitor, Puritan and
Terror also broke their cables. These
boats were not seriously injured however
A report was circulated to the effect
that several men had been drowned as a
result OF the accident. This report was,
upon investigation, discovered to be with
out foundation in fact. A court Of in
qniry will be held to determine who is
responsible for the accident.
