RELEASE OF SCOVIL.
ORDERS ISSUED BY QUEEN RE-
GENT OF SPAIN.
Said to Have Been Brought About
in Such Way That the Cores
pondent Will Not Avail Himself
of the Opportunity.

Chicago, March 10.-A special to the
Daily News from Washington says:
The news that the queen Of Spain
had ordered the release of Sylvester
Scovil, correspondent of a New York
newspaper. who is in Cuban prison,
creates much interest.
The release was made on the petit
ton of Scovils father. He requested
the release ION the grounds of mercy,
not of Justice" The father of the cor
respondent made a touching applica-
ton to the Spanish minister, and at
tributed his sons action TO his zeal to
serve his newspaper and not 90 a de-
sire to aid the insur<ents' cause.
The Spanish authorities refused to
have the release made through the
ordinary diplomatic way, because they
did not want record made of it in the
state department TO be used as a prece-
dent The Spanish minister, an receipt
of the letter from Scovils father, in
dorsed it and forwarded it to the
queen, who ordered the release.
It is reported here that Scovil will re-
fuse to accept the release on the condi-
tions imposed by the Spanish govern
ment This information comes from
the newspaper which employed the
correspondent. If Scovil maintains this
attitude, the Spanish minister int mates
he will take no further interest in the
Caca

tomorrow will publish dispatch from
Canea saying that the British, French
and italian admirals landed on that
island and held conference with the
insurgent leaders at Akrotiri They
expressed regret that they allowed the

days fighting, believing then that The
insurgents were the aggressors. Since
then they said they had learned that
it was Bashi Bazouks who provoked
the conflict.
In the course of the interview, the
dispatch adds, the Cretans stated that
they had not received the admiraPs s
warning previous to the bombardment
of Feb. 21, and that they were un-
aware also of the promise of autonomy
for Crete or the offer of the surgeons,
which communications were intrusted
to Commander Reinick, of the Greek
warship Hydra.
The News in commenting on this
dispatch will suggest that the co:nInu-
nications intrusted to Commander
Reinick were delivered n .he wrong

With Loud Cheers, the Speech
Throughout Being Devoid of Any
Exposition of Party FEELING

borers Put to Work.

London, March 10.-At the dinner of
the associated chamber of commerce,
which was held here this evening,
Lord Salisbury delivered an address,
in which he referred briefly to the
crisis which had been reached in the
affairs of Greece over the Cretan
question.
His lordship said it must be remem-
bered that the British government
could not be guided in their policy by
personal sympathies or religious pro-
clivities and sentiments. They were
the trustees of a great nations inter-
ests and obligations which they were
bound to maintain above everything
else. If they manfully did their duty
under the circumstances it would pro-
mote, as no other course of conduct
could do, freedom and justice and,
above all, European peace, upon which
all commerce, industry and well being
must depend.
The premier's remarks were received
with loud cheers.
The speech throughout was devoid of
any exposition of party feeling.
