THE WAR IN CRETE.

Fighting Continues, notwithstanding the
Armistice-A Fierce Battle Fought at
Malaxa, In Which the Turks are Beaten
and Driven to Their acknowledgement
to Autonomy-Alarming Rumors-A Hun
dred MOslems Killed.
CANEA, March 1.-The presence of
foreign war ships off this port has not
had the effect of preventing fighting
between the insurgents and Turks,
save in the town itself, where a COM
paratively small force of sailors and
marines were recently landed for the
purpose of preserving order. a Skin
mish occurred yesterday al Malaxa,
a short distance from Canea, in
which the Turks were worsted, al
though they outnumbered the Chris
tians. The fighting at MalaXa
arose from a fruitless attempt on
the part of the Moslems, aided
by a detachment of Turkish
troops, to revictual the blockhouse,
where the Turkish garrison has been
blockaded for a number of days. The
Moslems made a sortie, but the insur-
gents were prepared for just such a
10Y and attacked the party furiously,
finally driving them back. During the
fighting a heavy fire was directed upon
the Christians from the Turkish
arsenal in Canea. 1t had, however,
very little effect, and the Christians
still maintained the position held by
them prior to the fight.
Further fighting occurred in the
vicinity of Heraklion. As heretofore
the insurgents repulsed the Turks.
A Turkish war ship in Suda bay yes.
terday began the bombardment of a po-
sition occupied by insurgents, but be-
fore she had done much firing her COM
mander received word from the repre-
s~entatives of the foreign powers that
he must silence his guns or take the
consequences. This is the second time
that the insurgents lea Suda bay have
been fired on by a Turkish war ship.
The Greek Korakas, who, at the head
of 5000 insurgents has invested the
town of Heraklion, has given permits
sion to the Turks to leave the place in
order hat they may cultivate the
lands adjacent to the town. His ac-
ton, however, is looked upon with
suspicion by many Moslems, they be-
lieving that it his intention to benefit
from the labors of the Turks by seiz-
ing their crops when they are ripe.
On the other hand, those who are ac-
quainted with the character of Kora-
kas, declare that he is a just and hui
name man, and hat his only object in
permitting the Turks to till the fields
is to prevent suffering from famine
among the women and children in the
beleaguered town.
Several British and Italian officers
recently visited the camp of Korakas,
where they were treated with much
courtesy. They were astonished by the
excellent discipline maintained among
the insurgents and by the perfection of
their organization, all of which is due
TO Korakas, who appears to be a born
leader of men. He is enthusiastic in
support of the cause of the Cretans and
his force will prove no unimportant
factor should Turkey attempt to quell
the instruction by force of arms.
Tefik Pasha, the new military COVER
nor, arrived here yesterday and paid

then planned how the farm was TO be laid
out, and suggested names for the various
points. Finally one of the trio fell asleep
in his chair: the other obtained the COM
