Greece VIII Not Yleih.

London, Feb. 26.-1 q. m.--A dispatch
from Athens to the Central News says
that King George and his Cabinet pro-
claim their resolve TO maintain their
present policy. They declare it is inn
possible for them to recall the Greek
troops from Crete.
The ATHENS correspondent Of the
Standard telegraphs that it is reported
that Colonel SmolcntZ, Minister Of War,
has reneEed his offer to resign. There
are signs that the remainder Of the Cabi-
net are inclined to take a similar step,
but any indication of retreat from the
Kings policy would involve the greatest
danger to the throne. It is, therefore,
unlikely that there will be any faltering
In the highest quarter. There Is doubt
less q grim popular determination to
follow the sacrifices already made to tho
bitter end. An expression OF the ex-
asperation felt at the attitude of the
Powers was given to-day when 300 vol
unteers, who had been prevented by the
warshlps from landing in Crete, march
ed through the streets accompanied by
military bands.
It Is understood that the note Of the
Powers arrived to-day and that It will
be presented to the Government to-mor-
row. The reply will probably be ,dictat-
ed by the resolution Of the Cretans to
yield only. to superior force.

Havana, Feb. 25.-Dispatches received
here from New York say q rumor Is
prevalent there that United States Con-
SUI General Lee has received his pass
ports. This is not true. &fG&a
General Lee has neither received his
passports. nor has he resigned his post.
The fact Is that a day or two ago he
intimated his disposition to resign If
the United States government failed to
sustain the attitude he had assumed in
the cases Of DR.. Ruiz and Mr.. Scott. He
has gone no further than this. 5
AN EXPLANATION
La Lucha, commenting on the report
from New York announcing Consul
General Lees alleged resignation, pre-
tends to explain the cause OF his re-
ported retirement from office It says
that General Lees position would be
untenable with the advent of the Me-
Kinley administration, and he wished 10
anticipate q possible intimatlon he
might receive from Mr.. Mckinley that
his resignation would 7oe accepted.
The same paper contains an editorial
discussing the action OF the corresponds
ent Of FL Liberal, of Madrid, in going to
see the rebel conmander-in-c -chief, Max
imo Gomez, in his comp.
The Lucha praises 1t as q journalistic
feat, but strongly criticises the step, as,
1t says, 1t places the Government in a
grave position in view Of the fact that

spondent, is now imprisoned for Com

EaRI'afATIC DENIAL.
The Reported Sending sEome of Gen.
Grnl Ice.

Washington, Feb. 25.-From two dis
tnct sources statements were received
here early this morning that Consul
General Lee had received his pass
ports" This rumor naturally caused ex-
citement and general desire to know def
initely whether General Lees contem-
plated withdrawal from Havana was his
own act, resulting from the acceptance
OF his resignation said to have been ca :
bled last Sunday or whether it had
been brought about by the action OF the
Spanish authorities in Cuba in which
latter case its significance would be
much more marked.
Inquiries in official quarters elected
strong denialS Of the rumor The well
known fact was pointed out that pass
ports were not given to Consuis, but
only to Ministers and Antbassa doris; tina t
In the case of an offending or retiring
Consul, the document sent him on his
departure was his "eXcQuater," or Off
cial document recognizing his right 10
exercise the functions of his Office and
It was said that not even the semi-diplo-
matte position accorded to our Consul
General at Havana by consent Of the
Spanish government would render his
case where 'passpOrts'' would be re-
qui ed. The return Of his "exeauater" &,
the Consul General would, OF course, be
equivalent TO the sending Of passports"
to II Minister.
JuL dt tIlc JLeSdtlOn, as wen
as 1T the State Department it was en-
phatically asserted that this course had
not been taken. The denials were quite
rs emphatic as those previously put out
in regard to General Lees request for
warshps, and the conditional tender of
his resignation If this request should
not be granted. It was stated on the
direct authority Of a member Of the Cab
met that Secretary Olney stated TO his
associates at the Cabinet meeting Tues
day last that it was not true that Gene
raj Lee had resigned, or that he had
asked for Warships.

The Vaudeville Regatta
Postponed.

Commodore Moorman has the
following to say about the post
poned Vaudeville regatta:
ssThe Vaudeville regatta has
been postponed for the following
reasons:
ssWhen the date was fixed for
the 10th instant, it was expected
that, as the Southern Yacht Clubs
regatta was advertised for the 9th
instant, that all the boats both of
that club and the Vaudeville Yacht
Club would be put in commission
for the S. Y. &. regatta on the 9th
instant and would, of course, he
ready for the NJ. y. C. regatta on
the 10Th instant. Inasmuch as the
5. Y. 9. regatta has been post
poned, out of the thirty-one boats
promised for the NJ. Y. G. regatta,
shpteyery few Of them will be able
4 let ready for the 10Th instant.
Also many yacht owners are en-
g1ged in fighting the high water
and have no time to give at present
to preparing their boats for the
event.
ssBesides, many yachtsmen de-
cline to participate on account of
the remarkable season, which keeps
the nights SO cool; they would run
great risks of colds and fever
through exposure in the night air
N open yachts, and from the tenn
perature of the water in the lake,
which they always manage to get
into one way or another, and which
is very cold.
ssTherefore, for these reasons,
the regatta will not take place on
10th instant, and is postponed
until later in the season.

Dairy Farmers Must
----~>M0vov~

In accordance with the recon-
mendation of the Board of Health,
the City Council has adopted al
ordinance requiring the milk farms
aud their herds Of cows to be re-
moved from the city limits, and, in
order that the darymen may have
sufficient time in which to perfect
their arrangements, . period OF ten
years is established within which all
is to be accomplished.
No prudent or intelligent busi-
ness man will put of his prepara-
tions for such a move to the
last moment, but he will seek
70 provide for placing his busi-
ness in the most advantageous
situation in his reach. He will Sc
lect location where the grazing Is
good, where clean water is abund-
ant, where the. land is above over
fi0w and where the climate is salu-
bri0us. But he must be on the line
Of railway not too far from this
city, where his products are to be
sold. Then il is absolutely necessary
that he shall be able to buy land
cheaply.
Probably there. has been no lOca-
ton called to public attention which
possesses more natural advantages
llian are to be found over the lake,
on the line Of the East Louisiana
Railroad. Salubrity of climate,
GOOD water il abundance. grazing
lands sufficiently above overflow and
: arailway are all there. It is repre-
sented that the lands can be pur-
Chased very reasonably, and the
railway managers are ready to give
assurance that, if the business will
warrant they will run special milk
trains into the city.
The dalrymcn now in New Or
leans have got to come to some such
arrangement. There is no sort of
doubt that twill give the people Of
this city purer, clearer and better
milk, and it will rebound 20 the
benefit Of the milk farmers. They
will have healthier Stuck, and they
wiiLhav vastly better facilities :or

is the time TO make preparations
for . move that is inevitable, and
wise men viii go about it without
DELAY. and not wait for the expira
tion Of their term Of probation.
