Christians Are Caustic.

Canea. March 26.-The Christian
svrnpathizers here causticalIy comment
upon the action of the powers in TAX
ing possession of the town of Malaxa,
on the ground that the foreign admir-
ais hold that its occupation by either
Christians or Turks is dangerous to
the Europeans in this city. The fact
of the dangerOuSneSs of the position, IL
is pointed out, only impressed the ad-
rnirals after the Christians had COM
pelled the Turkish garrison to eyacuate
and had captured the place. So long
as the Turks held possession, no dan
ger was apparent to the admirals, but
once the Christians commanded the po-
sition, the foreign naval officers awoke
to a very lively sense of the risk that
was being run by their seamen and
marines and the international troops
ashore MalaXa is one of the places
that command the landward APP
proaches to Canea and would furnish
a strong strategic position in the event
of an attack being made upon the
town, but it is not generally believed,
except by the more timorous Turks
and perhaps the foreign admirals, that
the insurgents mediate an attack upon
this city. If the Turks had been able
TO hold the place, there would have
been no action taken by the admirals
to seize it.
The practical wiping out of the
Malaxa garrison on its retreat toward
the coast towns has caused a feeling
of uneasiness among the garrisons sta
toned in other forts. The insurgents
pursued and destroyed the Turks I'M
der the fire Of the warships, and this
fact is weakening the feeling of Secur-
ity that was afforded the Turks by the
interference of the foreign fleets in
their favor.
