stil Fighting Near Canea.

Canea, March 27.-Fighting went or
all yesterday around Tsikalaria, Nero
kuru and Daxan. The Greeks in the
blockhouse at Malaxa are said to have
fired on the Turkish fleet in Suda bay
Rami Pasha, the Turkish admiral, has
landed with quantity Of munitions Of
war.
The Christians tried to build earth
works on the hills above Malaxa, but
they were bombarded by the foreign
warships
In addition to continuing the work of
burning the property of Mussuimans at
PerivOlia, the Christians have attacked
the village OF Darabos, and have begun
to lombard the fortress of Butounaria,
which protects the springs supplying
Canea with water.
1t is understood here that the admirals
have invited the Turkish commander to
reoccupy Malaxa under the protection
of the international fleet, with the prom
ise to shell the insurgents should they
attack him. But the commander de-
clines to make the attempt on the ground
that his troops are too much demoralized
Colonel Vassos says that the bloc * ade
at Malaxa is outside the neutral zone.
but If the admirals had asked that the
Turks be allowed to withdraw they
would not have been molested.
Throughout the island the Mohamme-
dams think they may do what they like
now because they have European back
ing. In all directions they are pillaging
and burning the property Of Christians.

story of the death of Mr.. Arthur L..
Kicker, formerly of this city who, it was
said, while on trip to England in the

down the hatchway by the swinging of a

Yesterday morning several of the old
acquaintance of Kicker thought they met
him on the street in Portland in the flesh
and looking remarkably well. A PRESS
reporter called at No. 225 B street,
Ricker's old boarding place, and was told
by Mrs. Morton, who keeps the house,
that she saw Kicker that NOR ming, and
that he evidently was in excellent health
and spirits. She did not talk with him
but he stood just outside the house con-
versing with friend. She said that he
was not boarding with her at the present
time and she did not know where he was
boarding. One of the boarders said he
also saw Mr.. Kicker, and he understood
that he did meet with an accident on the
steamer but that it was not serious. Evil
IDENTIFY Mr.. Kicker is lively corpse.
