MATTERS IN CRETE.
The Sultan Must Come to Terms
or Fipht.

or Fight.
NEW YORK, July PA special
to the Herald from Athens says:
Three members of the revolution
ary committee have just arrived
here from Crete. In the course OF
an interview they made the follow
ing statement on the subject of the
authority of their committee:
ave may say that it must be
granted to US, the demands we
have sent to the sultan, or we shall
fight. The powers must either
give us autonomy or see us
crushed. Should our demand be
neglected, then within fifteen days
of July Is, we shall break the
armstice."
These demands, they added, had
been formulated by the committee
but at the earnest entreaties Of the
foreign consuls were conveyed
through the ssembly 30 as not to
hurt the "amour proper Of the sui
tan"
In the course of an interview
which Herald correspondent just
had in Crete with the governor
general, the latter says:
"God knows whether order will
be restored. 1 am doing my ut
most In the hope only Of bringing
about the cessation of hostilities.n
The Herald correspondent also
saw Hassan j. Pasha. He said:
"Crete is q paradise, but 1t has
the curse Of st. Paul over 1t. l
have no hopes"
Detailed news is impossible to
get. The blood of the Cretans Is
at the boiling point. The assem-
bly, at the last moment has de-
cided to sit.

NEW YORK, July 22.-The World
this morning says: Lieut.. Col.
Rafael Parez Y. Morales, one Of
the signers of the Cuban constitu-
ton, arrived in this city yesterday
from Kingston, Jamaica. He had
been shot in the eye during a re-

Morales was in the party that left
Cuba with Gen. RolofI in an open
boat, finally reaching Kingston.
He has been engaged in many bat
ties in eastern Cuba. under Gen.
Sanchez.
"The reported death OF Gen. Jose
Maceo was in no ways news, con-
sidering his relations with Gen.
Garcia" said Col. Morales. "When
Garcia landed in Cuba Maceo re-
fused to turn over his command to
Garcia and made inflamatory
speeches to his men.
Scarcely a day passes without
an engagement in eastern Cuba.
Almost the whole province Of San
tiago de Cuba Is now in the hands
of the insurgents. The army has
fifteen pieces Of field artillery,
manned almost entirely by Amer
leans. We call it the Wilmington
battery, in remembr ance OF the
assistance given us by the citizens
of Wilmington, Del. What the
Cubans most need now is $4,000
more rifles"

PEARsALL, Tex, July 2l.-The
Republican convention Of Frio
county met here today according
to the call of the chairman. In
the absence of the chairman, B. 1.
Gilman, the convention was called
to order by j. D. Handy, who read
the call for the convention.
S. G. Speed was elected tempo
rary chairman and j. n. Long, sec
rotary, and Geo. B. Little, assistant
secretary.
Mr.. VIM. Ayers introduced the
following resolution which was
adopted without single opposing
vote:
Resolved, That the Republicans
of Frio county, In convention as.
sembled, fully ratify and endorse
the national platform adopted at
st. Louis by the Republican party
and we pledge our full and hearty
support to the nominees Of said
convention.
The following is the list Of dele.

for congress from this dis
trict and were instructed to vote
for Capt. b. l.. Crouch OF this
county rs long rs his name was
before the convention: b. G..
Speed, w. L. Crawford, A. V. Har-
ris, John J. Little, s. G. Roberts,
B. j. Gilman, j. o. Handy, Bryce
Little, III. e. Johnson, J. l.. Bur.
den, B. l.. Crouch and Is. w. Red.
mond.
sc. Speed and J. o. Handy,
were elected as delegates to the
state convention at Fort Worth
when called.
s. G. Speed was elected chair
man and ]. n. Long secretary,
and Geo. b. Little assistant secre-
tary for the two ensuing years.
Capt. Crouch in a talk to the
convention said that If the Repub.
licans of this district should nom-
mate him for congress from
this district he would not only &C
.cept the nomination, but would
work with all his ability for cleo
ton. He said there were a good
many Democrats who were in
favor OF protection and sound
money with whose help he
hoped for election.
1t is the opinion OF the LIGHT
correspondent that the people have
acted wisely in instructing for
Capt Crouch and 1t is to be hoped
that he will receive the nomina-
tion at Corpus Christi. Capt.
Crouch will receive large vote
from the Democrats Of this county,
as most of them are in favor OF
protecting the interests OF the peo-
pie of Texas. and also from the
fact that Capt. Crouch is regarded
as a man who will work for the in
terests of Southwest Texas. The
Republicans of this county think
that in case of Capt. Crouch secur-
ing the nomination, which seems
assured, he will be elected. The
Republicans OF this district are not
as numerous as they might be, yet
with such a man as Capt. Crouch,
who will command such large
vote from both the Democrats and
Populists, in the field they hope
for success.

Then Mr. Woodruff fatty refused consent. He ex-

THE idea of making this demonstration did not
commend itself to my mind from any standpoint
