Canea, Crete.--Th insur-

Kissano, at the western end
of the island, have written
to the foreign admirals
giving notice that they are
projecting an attack upon
the fort at Kissamo. The
Turkish garrison there has
asked for assistance.
Two thousand insurgents

ship has landed five guns

The identical notes of
warning delivered yester-
day by the representatives

little appreciable effect.

clare that they are really of
no practical value in regard

Greece is we'll aware that
the agreement by the pow
ers is quite fictitious.
A calm pervades the city

the Greeks are showing
plenty of strategic skill in
disposing of their army and
overcoming difficulties on
the frontier. 1t is now
clear they are relying upon
rapid movements in the
field, particularly artillery
movements, They seem to
disregard the moral value of
strongly entrenched posi-
lions, which the Ottomans
lay great stress upon. If
these are once pressed

for Greece on tn? possibility
that a rising in Macedonia
will occupy the attention OF

of the Time says the Sultan
has addressed an autograph
letter to the car expressing
his extreme satisfaction at
the energy which the car
has displayed in getting
the powers to adopt the

that neither Russia nor the

now controls the business
of the mines which pay out
about $500 per month, and
the Supply Company, which
will do over 500, 600
worth of business during the
year 1897.
Cushman is 4 shipping

Thirty.one car load of stock

ceeding February, 1897.
Ninety three cars OF stock
were shippedfrom that point.
The freight receipts for
March 1897 were $1312, "a,
which was an increase over
March 1896 of S736, IS. The
Keystone Supply Company
alone, since January, has
received % car loads of
goods. These figures show
that Cushman is growing
rapidly as a shipping point
for the farmers and mer-
chants of Sharp, lizard and
Stone counties, and within
the past few months it has
come to the front as a trad
ing point. The keystone
Supply Company is able to
furnish the trade with any
article from a hair pin up
to a steam engine, and has
one of the best arranged
stores in North Arkansas.
The clerks are all nice and

every one is sure to receive

these gentlemen, II h e

They buy every thing that
the farmer has to sell. Their
