The belief prevails among the foreign

The Times correspondent telegraphs
that independent information supports
Admiral Reiheck in his denial of the
charges made against him.. The Times
correspond ent suggests that the insurgent
chiefs excused themselves to the admirals
during the interview held at Akrotirl on
Thursday by denying that they had re-
ceived warning from Admiral Reineck
that the foreign warships would fire upon
them if they continued their attack upon
Canea.
The Chronicle will in its issue to-mor-
row claim to have authority to state that
the blockade of Crete and certain un-
named Greek ports will begin on Wednes-
day, an ultimatum to that effect having
been delivered In Greece.
The Chronicle will tomorrow publish
dispatch from its Berlin correspondent
saying that if Greece still refuses TO yield
to the demands of the powers after the
blockade has begun or if she declares
war on Turkey or takes action on the Ma
cedonian frontier some OF the powers
have decided to carry coercion to any
length. even to destroying the power of
Greece both for the present and the fu-
ture.

If the proposals of the Russian dipio-

weeks ago to block the ports OF Greece
had been acceded to by the English Pre-

SO much to force the hands OF King
George's government
There are those behind the scenes who
say that from the outset of the Greco
Cretan controversy the pretended partici
patton of the Salisbury Government had
been abandoned, and that King George,
M to q late point in the diplomatic con-
test. was led TO believe that eventually
the influence of Great Britain would
square the situation in favor of Greece
This is the plain language of welI-in-
formed papers like the Post and Kreuz
Zeitung In a recent cable dispatch it
was shown that family considerations
never had any weight with the
Ka1ser, whose main aim was the main
tensnce of the peace of Europe. But the
influence OF the Danish royal family, with
Its offshoots in England and Russia, is
known to have been at work. and is be-
Iieyed to have been operated with success

Czarina, who got credit for almost su.
preme power in the Cars councils, has
failed to alter the understanding between
the Kaiser and the Czar, although she has
had the active cooperation of Queen Vic
toria. who had strong sympathies with
Greece and an ardent detestation of the
Turks.
Neither the hand OF the ex-Czarina nor
that of the Queen can be made visible in
the game of diplomacy which is now be-
iny pIayed. but il is known that both have
been supporting King George and it is
believed that to the Queens interference
much of Lord Salisbury's hesitating pol
icy is due. That the Queen does still ex-
ercise an oversight of foreign affairs is
perhaps better known at the German court
than it is in England.
Meanwhile utter distrust in England is
the dominant feeling at the Foreign Of
tice here. while the entente with Russia
is complete. But for Russia the Balkan
Peninsula would now be IN blaze and
Austria and Russia would be mobIlizing
their troops for war. There is absolutely

GERS with Ethan Pasha at Monastir or
Elassona who were with Won GoItg and
some Germans who have seen service in

ceived from these quarters state that
mobilization is only partial and proceeds
with great difficulty. Clothing for the
troops is badly needed, their provisions
are scanty and the commissariat is disor-

give bad report as to the tro ops which

The Governments of England and
France have not as yet given their assent
to the proposal of the other powers to
make no reply to the answer OF Greece to
the Identical note of the European pow
ers, but make forcible compliance with
the ultimatum of the powers Thus far,
it is learned only Germany and Austria
have accepted the Russian proposal to

CANEA. CRETE. March 14-As has been
stated In tho dispatches OF she United As
snciated f9esses the fact that the powers
have decided to establish an autonomous
government in Crete is not generally
known to the insurgent leaders. This is
due to Admiral Reineck, lately in com.
mand of the Greek feet, who refused to
act as an interpreter between the foreign
admirals and the insurgents for the con-
veyance of information furnished by the
former. Great Britain has now taken
steps to have the Christian leaders in
formed of what it is intended TO do, in the
belief that as soon as the Information
spreads it will have the result of stopping g
the fighting. Sir Alfred Biliotti the Brit
ish Consul here, has been instructed by
his Government to have printed, as soon
as his colleagues receive similar instruc-
tions, proclamation announcing the de-
cision of the powers to grant autonomy to
the island. The proclamation will give
no details of the scheme. but 1t will de-
clare as cardinal point that Turkey shall
have nothing whatever to do with the in
ternal affairs of Crete. The proclamation
will be distributed as widely as possible,
and it is thought that its effect will be
very beneficial.
The insurgents are not the only ones
who have been KEEP. in ignorance OF the
action of the powers. The several Con-
su!s here have had no official intimation
from their respective Governments of
what was to be done. a fact which has ex-
cited much comment.

sideration of the bill 1t is understood to-

they were agreed upon in conference COM

the Irish people was aroused by the
arrogant talk she once heard at dim

up the study of Irish history and
came to the conclusion that, instead
