Attacked by Turks-Tardy Efforts Of the
Allied Forces to Project Them.

Canea, Crete, April 3.-Admiral Can
evaro, the Italian admiral. in COM
mand Of the fleets Of the powers, yes
terday authorized the insurgents and
their families to quit the Akrotiri pc
ninsula and proceed inland where they
would be in a better position to obtain
food. Confiding in this authorization,
the insurgents and their families, driv
ing their cattle, descended from the
heights of Akrotiri with the inten-
ton of moving inland. AS soon as they
reached the plain. however. fire was
opened upon them at a range of 200
yards by 1000 Bashi Bazouks. The
Christians returned the fire and killed
some of their assailants. The inter-
national force did not take a step to
prevent this collision, which might have
resulted in the massacre Of a large
number of women and children, to say
nothing of the insurgents who had
moved from practically impregnable
position down to an exposed plain, in
the belief that the foreign admirals had
guaranteed them safe conduct across
the plains. The foreign warships in
Suda bay did not fire a shot to check
the onslaught Of the J3ashi Bazouks.

lines outside the town coming back

Namara has been making anti-Catholic
addresses here for some days, and SO
severe have been some of his state

called on the mayor today to see if the

complained of. The mayor disapproved
of the statements, but said he could
not interfere unless something was
done that would provoke breach OF
the peace. Mrs. Mcnamara, wife OF

Dornin to complain that she and her
husband have been stoned in the
street. The chief was perfectly willing
to act in the matter if the guilty par
