The Cretans Have Declared Their
Independence and Appealed to
Greece for Aid.

The island of Crete is situated in the
Greece and is tho most 'sohtherly pof
tion of Europe, It.is sbout' 1863 miles
in length. while its breadth does not
anywhere exceed 35 miles, and in some
pfaces is only 10 or II miles. Tho
greater part OF the island is occupied
b. mountains, some Of which reach to
considerable height The intervals
between the mountain groups are filled
M for the most part by indulatins
&acts. consisting Of hills Of compare
tiye low elevation. There are no rivers
of any importance. That pa{t OF the
islnnu which is not mountainous is OF
great fertility. Oranges and lemons
aud other tropical fruits abound. The
island also produces cotton, tobacco.
olive oil. wine and silk. Under bet
ter form of fEovernmen the island would,
no doubt, be most prosperous.
The population of the island has been
very much diminished. At one time it
numbered |, 900, 600 In 1855, the last
census reported that it has dwindled
down to so. 600 and about5O, 900 are Mo-
eha,nmedans, nearly all the others being
Christians belonging to the Greek
church, which has eight bishops in the
islnnd The language spoken bv both
Christians and Mohammcdans is Greek.
its chief city is Gambia, which was
formerly tho capital. The present cap
ital is tanea, which is the seat Of O
Greek bishop. and the official residence
Of the European consuls. In 1869 the
island was beSieged and conquered by
uie Turks, and it continued subject
to the Ottoman rule until the
outbreak of the Greek revolution in
1897 At that time the natives made
cnselves masters of the country,
and drove the Turks or Mohametan
population, to take refuge in fortifica-
tiuns. This contest was prolonged
without any decisive result until in 1881
the allied powers of Europe transferred
the island to the government of Me-
hemet Ali, viceroy of Egypt. 1t thus
remained until 1910, wien it was taken
from Mchcmit Ali and replaced under
