STARVATION THREATENED.
a State of Affairs Worse Than War
Probable.

Canea. Feb. 2S.-A new danger
threatens this unfortunate island, and
if it is to be averted a speedy settle
ment of the present difficulties must
be arrived at. Every day the situa-
ton is becoming more desperate, owing
to the fact that throughout the island
the state of war prevents any atten-
ton being paid to the crops. The towns
which are beseiged by the insurgents
are in a much worse condition than
those in the country districts.
In Heraklion alone, where there has
been a very large influx of refugees,
the outlook is very serious. There is
now in town, counting the regular
Moslem population and the refugees,
fully $4,000 persons. Provisions are
very scarce and a famine is imminent.
The regular numbers of the refugees
are already dying of starvation, and
1t was the knowledge of this fact that
led Korahas, the Greek leader. to issue
his order to permit the cultivation of
fields near the town. The lines of the
besiegers are absolutely impossible, as
has been proved by the failure of sew
eral sOrties that have been made. The
officials in the town have telegraphed
to Canea imploring the assistance of
foreign warships in raising the siege,
but it is not considered likely that
their supplication will receive a favor
able response. though provisions may
be sent TO the starving. Korahas has
not yet cut off the water supply of the
town, which he threaten a few days
ago to do. Should he carry this threat
into effect the condition of the be-
sieged people would be pitiable indeed.
Kerahas with a part of his forces is
advancing upon Hierapetra. He will.
pass through the turbulent district of
Lasithi, and the populace there is GER
tain TO join him. 1t is pretty certain
that the garrison at Hierapetra will
have to capitufyte when the insur-
gents reach there, unless the foreign
warships help the Turks.
On March the armistice of week
agreed to between the Moslems and
Christians at Seine will expire. The
position of the Moslems there is very

suasion of Colonel Vassos, the COM
mander of the Greek army of occupa-
ton, who has promised to use his in
fiuence to obtain the release of the be-
sieged Moslems.
1t has been learned that the fighting
at Malaxa resulted in the killing of
eight Turks and the wounding of many
others. The Christian losses, if any.
are unknown.
The engagement caused the most in
tense excitement here and prompted

town. Two villages and several iso-
lated houses were destroyed.

BUT LITTLE GLORY.
Cleveland's Forestry Proclamation is
Mercilessly Criticized by the Sen
atorS.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-The senate to-
night, on the discussion of the amend
ment to the sundry civil bill, restoring
to the public domain some 1000. goo
acres as a forest reservation, Mr.. Clark
who offered the amendment, said that
the order was issued on the recommen-
datiOn of a class of scientists. who
think more of forest trees than of
roof trees and more of the life of a
tree than the life of a man. The order
meant that settlers on the reservation
could not cut a stick of firewOod, and
that the gold mines on one of the reser-
vations in South Dakota would have
to close down for lack of timber. He
was aware that the insertion of this
amendment in the bill would probably
lead to its veto but he. for ope, was
ready to meet the president on this
ground.
This order would mean the retard-
ing of the development in the west and
the subject was of most vital interest
to the land laws of the west than the
senators of the east had any conception
of.
Mr.. Carter of Montana. who was
commissioner of the general office dur
ing General Harrison's administration,
supported the amendment. AS an eA-
ample of the injury wrought by the or
Il.
Anaconda mine near Butte. Mont,
which requires a carload of timber
every day to prop up the levels and
galleries of the mine and protect the
lives of the miners, and the land from
" hich all this timber was cut must
come, in part at least, from one of the
forest reservations. Another case liz
point was that of the old and the IA
nous Homestead mine in South Da-
kota. No one who was interested in
this matter had been consulted prior
to the PRONUNCIATION of this order, and
he believed that the president would
not hesitate to rescind the order when
he thoroughly understood the true con-
dition.
Mr.. Cannon, (Rep. Utah, also sup
ported the amendment, and declared
that not one of the IA senators from
these western states affected had been
consulted before the order was issued.
Mr.. Lindsay. (Dem. KY, inquired
whether the adoption of an amend
ment excepting domestic and mining
timber from the operation of the order
would be satisfactory.
Mr.. Cannon said he would prefer to
have the order stand as it is rather
than have this order temporiZed.
The amendment was supported by
Senators Stewart, ISL. New, Petit
grew, (Sil- S. d., Wilson. (Rep.
Wash.), Dubois. (Sil. Ida), and Man
tie, (Rep. Mont), the latter asserting
that in his state there were thousands
and thousands of acres included in this
order on which there was not a stick
of timber.
The amendment was then unanimous
ly adopted.

Brigham City. Feb. ga volcano is
the latest sensation
It seems our earthquakes have come
to a head
Word comes from Promontory that a
volcano has burst forth out in the
Great Salt Lake. some distance Gouth-
west OF Promontorv station, on the
Central Pacific railway.
Several well known men from CO.
,rinne say they have seen the vol
cano.
1t is said to be out in the lake about
a mile and quarter from shore; that
a stream of smoke rushes up into the
air so high that it may be seen at a
great distance; that the water in the
immediate vicinity boils surges and =
churned about in a frightful manner.
The location of this reported phe-
nomenon is in the big arm of the lake
which is on the western side of the
long range of Little Mountains" that
are distinctly seen looking vest from
Brigham City.
If all this be true, it accounts for all
those earthquake shocks that have been
shaking up this region for the past
six months. The fire, smoke and. per-
haps, lava. agitated in the subter-
ranean depths having now found a
surface outlet. may put a quietus on
these frequent shocks.
More credence is given to these re-
ports from the fact that the people who
claim to have seen the ugly newcomer
say it has been in sight several days.
On a clear day they thought the smoke
might be seen from Brigham.

Kirby of Almy, to hear the case. The
defendants appeared before Judge
Kirby, waived examination and gave

KAIsER'S ACTION.
It is Said to be in Line With His
Whole Eastern Policy.

Berlin, Feb 2s-Whatever may be
thought and said outside of Germany as
Greece Cretan imbroglio. the dominant.
if not the unanimous opinion in Germany
is that it has been consistent with his
whole eastern policy and inspired by
desire to maintain peace. The home pa
oe-s which insinuate and the foreign pa
c1-s which openly affirm that family af
fairs have been any element in influence
in@ the kaiser. choose TO ignore facts.
TIE world. There is no feud or il-will
row existing between the kaiser and his
sister. the Duchess of Sparta, wife of the
Greek heir apparent The uncOncealed
d-sfavor with which he treated her con-
version from the Lutheran to the Greek
church is a matter of past history The
empress mother was the medium of
early reconciliation, and the harmony of
affection between the kaiser and his
favorite sister has long since been
restored. That the kaiser sought, first of
all. the support of Russia, for his pro-
posal TO blockade the Piraeus, should dis
pose OF the report that family considera-
tons weighed largely with the car. The
kaiser can be expected to know how far
the fact that King George. as brother of
the dowager cZarina. would affect Rus
sian policy. This history of our own time
affords an Illustration. When Prussia, in
1866 despoiled the Grand Duke of Hesse-
DarmstaGt. brother of the then cZarina
the Car Alexander II, declined TO inter
fere privately or through diplomacy. and
VIXEN Prussia annexed Holstein-G ottorp,
long associated with the Russian
dynasty. nothing was said from st.
Petersburg. That the dowager czarina
has personally interferred on behalf of
King George is beyond all probability.
The telegram of announcement and
sympathy from her to the king which has
gone the rounds of the European press,
was a fabrication and events since have
proved that car and kaiser alike are
guided by motives in which family rela-
tons play no important part. The actual
truth so far as the kaiser has taken any
lead upon the Cretan difficulty is that
at all hazards. to propose the break
up of Turkey and. to stop Greece
from entering upon a war which. unless
accompanied by general confiagration
in the Balkan peninsula might involve
the devastation of Greece and the over
throw of King George.
