THE BLOCKADE OF CRETE

1t is Only DirectedsA gRInst Christians
AToslems Allowed TO DO as They Please.
CANEA, March 21.-According to the
proclamation issued by the foreign adj
mirals, the blockade of Crete began at
eight o'clock this morning. 1t is APP
parent that the blockade is directed
solely against the Christians in the
interior and that the Moslems will
suffer little inconvenience from
the action of the six great
Christian nations of Europe. 1t APP
pears that the object of the bloclading
squadron is to prevent the landing of
supplies of food, clothing, etc, destined
for the starving Christians in the in
terror, while the Mussulmans who have
foclled TO the coast towns are allowed
to land whatever they want.
The few Christians remaining here
find it difficult to understand the mo-
tives that are prompting the powers to
exert their strength to crush the Chris
tian population of the island, while the
Moslems are given free hand to do
about us they please. About the only
hope of the Christians outside the
coast towns is in Greek blockade run
ners, who will not hesitate to run
through the Gordon of foreign war
ships around the island.
There was an exchange of shots yes
terday between insurgents and Mos
lens in the vicinity of Suda bay. The
Turkish war ships in the bay bonn
barded the insurgents, but the result is
not known. A number of foreign war
ships were in the bay, but they took no
part in the firing

FORMALLY NOTIFIED
By the Representatives of the Sig
Signatory Powers
OF the Blockade of Cretan Ports, 1t Re-
mains an Open Question Whether the
United States VIII Give Its Assent
to the Form of Blockade Proclaimed.

WASHINGTON, March 33.-The repre-
sentatives in Washington of the six
powers signatory of the Berlin treaty,
Great Britain, France, Italy, Germany,
Austria-Hungary and Russia, have in
concert notified this government of the
blockade of Crete, the respective notes
of Sir Julian Pauncefore, Nj. Pate
notre, Baron Fava, Baron Won Thlel-
man. Mr.. Hengle Muller Won Henger-
var and Mr.. Kotzebus having been
delivered to Secretary Sherman yes
terday. They were almost identl-
cal, and consisted of a mere formal
announcement of a blockade Cretan
ports against ships under the Greek
flag, commencing at nine o'clock yes
terday morning. Merchant vessels of
neutral powers, including those of the
United States and of the treaty pow
ers, while subject to overhauling by
the bloclkading war ships of the con-
certing fleets, are not to be disturbed
in their ordinary commercial occupa-
tions if they carry no merchandise in
tended for the use of the Greeks or in
surgents on the island.
1t is question whether this govern
ment win give its assent to this form
of blockade which involves a grave de-
parture in international law, and
would establish precedent abolish
ing rights that the United States might
not desire to surrender.
There is little or no likelihood of an
American vessel attempting to run the
Cretan blockade, for the Stars and
Stripes on merchant vessels in the
Mediterranean is practically unknown.
An indication of this is given in the
II cords of the Suez canal, the Ameri-
can flag having passed that highway
only three times in 1895, on two private
yachts and one man-of-war, while in
1896 not single vessel showed her flag
in the canal. This year, the passage
of the cruiser Detroit, early next
month, will probably be the only oc-
casion for showing the American colors
in the Red sea. Around Crete an Amer
can ship is rarer than at Suez. Never
theless if the United States should
even tacitly consent to being kept ont
of Crete, where there is no proclaimed
condition of war, any more than there
is in Cuba at the present time, such ac-
ton, it is anticipated by those familiar
with international presidents, may es-
tablish an untoward precedent in rela-
ton to countries were American COM
merce is UNNECESSARILY more impor-
tant and where American merchant
flags are more numerous.

CUMBERLAND, Nd, March 24.-Ten
persons were injured and one killed in a
wreck on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad
near Oakland yesterday morning.
Train No. 9, from Cincinnati and st.
Louis was derailed. Three sleepers,
two day coaches and the postal car
left the track. One sleeper rolled
down the embankment and into the
Youghiogheny river. The balance of
the train remained on the bridge, or
doubtless the casualties would have
been much greater. There were SO
persons in the car which rolled into the
river, all of whom escaped with trifiing
injuries except two.
Gen. J. S. Fullerton, of st. Louis, a
Union veteran of Chickamauga fame,
was killed. The sleeper in which his
section was located was submerged.
Fifty men searched the river all day,
but were unable to find the body.

believed the corpse has been carried
down the stream. A reward for it's
recovery has been offered by the rail-
