London, March %. I'm the House of
Commons today the parliamentary secre-
tary of the foreign office Mr.. George y.
Cursor, replying TO n question on the SUBJ
ject of the Cretan blockade, as applicable
to British American vessels, said that
both British and American ships carrying
cargo belonging To Englishmcn or Amer
leans and destined for the interior of the
Island of Crete were liable TO search and
the delivery of cargo prohibited, II in the
opinion of the admirals such delivery was
calculated to prolong the disorders in
Crete Mr.. Cursor added that the sane
tion under which the admirals were thus
acting was that of the powers.

Canea, Island Of Crete, March 25.-The
insurgents made determined attack upon
the block house or fort, at Malaxa, out
side of Suda, this morning During the
night, or very early morning, the insur-
gent forces were pushed forward until
they occupied convenient positions for
attack and about six "a. IN. their artillery
opened fire upon the Turkish block-house.
The pieces of the Christians were served
with admirable promptness and preci-
sion. As soon as the range had been ac-
curately ascertained, the insurgent shells
pumped into the roof of the fort and
quickly rendered it untenable. Eventually
the fire of the insurgents was so well
directed that nothing remained to the
Turks but determination or evacuation.
The Mussulmans preferring the latter,
the garrison left the fort and commenced
"A retreat upon Suda, relying upon the
Turkish warships in the bay To save them
from the Christians.
The warships of the Sultan acted
promptly opening "A badly Judged nre
upon the insurgents in order to cover the
retreat of the Mussulmans The Turkish
shells fell either too short or far beyond
the insurgent forces. Consequently the
Christians pushed forward steadily, press
ing hard upon the rear of the Turks and
keeping up a continual skirmish fire upon
them TO which the latter at times made n
stand and sent few volleys into the
insurgent lines. The insurgents sue
ceeded in pushing on as far as the village
of Tsikalaria where they set fire TO some
| Turkish houses.

A Convoy From Canea Attacked.

While this fighting was in progress, n
detachment of Turkish troops, being
unaware of the fact that the garrison OF
the fort at Malaxa had evacuated that
place, made sortie from Canea with n
convoy of provisions intended for the
garrison of Mala From the route fol-
lowed by the Turks nothing could be
seen of the fighting in progress between
Malaxa and Suda and the Ottoman
troops advanced half way up TO the
heights upon which the block-house of
Keratidi is situated. But while the
Turks were unaware of the insurgents
doings, the latter had closely followed the
movements of the Turkish column and
provisions and ammunition trains Near
keratidi, the Turks were met by body
of insurgents who, in selected positions,
opened fire upon the advancing troops.
The fire of the Christians stopped the ad-
vance of the column and the Turkish
commander took up the best position pos
sibe in order TO protect the convoy and
send it TO the rear If necessary. AT noon,
as this dispatch is sent, the fighting be-
tween the Turks and Christians near
Keratidi, is still in progress and the
result Is uncertain. The Turkish gar
rison lost heavily. The insurgents are
numerous and occupy all the heights in
the vicinity of Canea as far as Perivolia,
having captured the last two Turkish
fortresses. Only the fleets of the powers
prevent the entire success of the insurgent
cause

Great Britain's Change of Policy.

Constantinople, March %. The change
in the policy of Great Britain fore
shadowed i'm the dispatches yesterday, has
assumed definite shape. The recent mas
sacre of one hundred Armcnians at
Takota, the danger Of further outbreaks
in Anatolia and the reports i'm the British
press that the blocadc of the Island OF
Crete by the powers and the support given
to the Turkish forces by tine foreign fleet
was triumph for the policy OF the sui
tan, have had their effect In clearly show
ing that such policy placed the Chris
tians in Armenia In danger OF extcrmi =
nation. Consequently IL Is semi
officially stated here that the British adj
miral in Cretan watOrs has been notified
not Co send any warships of Great Britain
to take part In the proposed blockade OF
the ports of Greece. At the same time,
however, I'm order, apparently. to avoid
an open rupture with the powers preat
Britain will acquiescc in the blockade of
the Greek ports According to the reports
i'm diplomatic circles here the powers have
already been notified TO this effect and the
withdrawal OF Great Britain from the
blockade is the one subject discussed today
In diplomatic and other circles.
The state advisors arc making the best
of the situation by pointing 20 the fact
that Great Britain docs not constitute the
whole of Europe, and that so long as the
Sultan has the support of Russia, France
Germany and Austria he has nothing 10
fear from Great Britain, but there Is a
certain amount Of uncertainty "a TO the
action of France. and 1t Is whispered that
Franco will follow the example of Great
-Rritain--If- this turns out 10 be the case,
the Sultan will have further food for re-
ficction. France, IL Is explained, could
readily take this step without disturbing
TO any apprcciablc degree her accord with
Russia and it l. added that, In any case,
the French government would not risk
taking part In the blockade of Greece:
without consulting the Chamber OF
DEPUTIES whose approval of the coercion

The action of Great Britain, in notify
ing the powers that she will not take an
active part in the blockade of Greece Is
looked upon in diplomatic circles as in
dicating IA decided change of policy upon
the part Of Great Britain and as really
meaning that she disapproves of the pro-
posed blockade of Greece 1t is stated
that Great Britain has intimated to the
powers that if Greece is blockaded steps
should also be taken to blockade the prin-
cipal Turkish ports. This latest move of
Great Britain in the eastern game has un-
doubtedly called halt for the present in
the coercive methods and may, it is said,
eventually bring about their abandon
ment. In the meanwhile, in view of the
imminent danger of IA clash on the 'front.'
iers of Greece which may bring about a
declaration of war between Turkey and
Greece Great Britain has proposed to che
powers that steps be taken TO induce both
Turkey and Greece TO withdraw their
forces half a mile from the actual 'front.'
ier thus leaving mile of neutral ground
between the opposing armies. Greece 1t
is explained has previously made n SINH
lar proposal to the Turkish government
but the Porte consulted with the am
bassadors of Russia and Germany SEEM
ingly the foremost friends of Turkey at
the present juncture, with the result that
the representatives of these powers ad-
vised the Turkish government to decline
the offer. The Turkish squadron, IL is
reported, has been ordered 10 cruise in the
Aegean sea.

Decision OF the Chief.

Politically there is no change in the sit
uation. The Cretan chiefs have definitely
decided To refuse autonomy and VIII
continue the struggle until the Union of
the Island with Greece is an achnowl-
edged fact. The blockade is in progress
along the Creturf coasts, bat this has not
prevented several small Greek vessels
from landing ammunition and provisions
The Greek vessel which was accidently
captured by Austrian gunboat was put
in the harbor owing to the severity OF the
weather. 1t had on board sixty volunteers
and quantity of ANN unition.
