ON THE VERGE. THE SITUATION IN THE ISLAND OF CRETE GROWING MORE
 SERIOUS.
Defiant Attitude Assumed by the Grecian Governm entsa. May Pre-
 cipitate War.

GANEA, Feb, 15.-There 5is not much change in the situation 5here this morning. The foreign consuIs, their staffs and the archives of the consulates remain aboard the for eign warships. The Christian Gov ernor of Crete, Geroviteh Pasha, is aboard Russian man of-war and the consul of Greece IS on @ Greek warship.
 The skirmishing around the town between the Mussulmans and the Christians continues necessarily with little advan tage on either side. Every preeaution has been taken to protect the Europeans of all nations who remain ashore.
 The Mussulmans of Halfa and the Christians of that vicinity are also skirmishing. The opinion prevails here that the foreign fleets will pfooaoiy occupy Ganea, Betlmo and Heraklion today or tomorrow. The admirals have been in constant com munieation with the shore, and mes sages of importance are known te have been exchanged between them and their home Governments. ALI the foreign fleets have been rein Eforced and more warships are ex- pected here and off other towns O the island today. The Greek feet has also been reinforced and Greek troops are expected to reach here today. According to general report the foreign warships will not per init them to land. The Mussulmans are now practically confined tc Canea, Retimo and Heraklion.

Of the edict, started to move Sunday
