A number of Christians who had fled
from the city returned on steamer
to-day for the purpose of getting pos
session OF their belongings before they
were stolen by the Moslems.
A numerous body of Turks who had as
semi bled on the quay were highly dis
pleased with what they considered to be
an unwarranted interference with their
prerogative of robbery, and they drove
the Christians back to the steamer. Sew
eral of the Christians who attempted to
make response to the on siaught of the
Turks were nearly thrown into the sea.

CANEA. CRETE, March ia terrible
accident occurred to-day on board the
Russian warship Sizoi Veliky. TIE vessel
was practicing outside Of Suda Bay, when
one of her turret guns exploded, owing to
the breach not having been properly
closed. The noise of the explosion was
terrific and its results were most dis
astrous.
The turret was blown to pieces and
every one Of its occupants was killed.
The turret and cupola in falling killed a
number of others who were on deck. The
killed numbered fifteen, including TWO
officers. Thirteen men were so badly in
jured that they will die, while mum Der
of others are more or less seriously in
jured.

hultan's Tyranny.
LONDON, Eng, March 15.-In the
House of Commons to-day the announce
ment was made by Right Hon. George N.
Curzon, Under Foreign Secretary, that no
reply had as yet been sent by the powers
to the Greek note answering the powers
ultimatum.
The foreign admirals In Cretan waters,
he added, had been instructed by their
respective Governments to distribute the
Cretans throughout the islands and to
proclaim to the inha bitants of Crete the
fact that the powers would be responsible
Tor the future of the island. In the mean
time. he said, preparations were being
made for the establishment of an autono-
nous administration in the island. Mr..
Curzon said it may be clearly understood
that the island will not revert the rule OF
the Sultan.
PARIS, FRANCE, March 15-In the
Cham Der of Deputies to-day the Govern
ment was questioned as to the Greco Gre

been taken by France in regard thereto.
Replying, M. Hanotaux said that the
Turk, az we'll as the Greek, must evacnate
the island OF Crete. excepting at points
which were occupied jointly by European
troops.

pany of Tm kish infantry, but it is gal
lantly defending its position. though
it is surrounded by insurgents. 1t is
probable that it will be compelled by a
scarcity of provisions and am munition to
surrender unless assistance is given 10 it
by some of the foreign warships.
There is a complete absence of author
ity here and in certain districts state of
anarchy prevails. In some places the in
surgents are in complete possession and
are pillaging and outraging to their
hearts content. Unless something is
done, and that speedily, by the powers,
the prospect is that the island will be
devastated.
1t is reported here that it is the inten-
ton of the Christians to exterminate the
Moslems throughout the island. This,
coupled with renewal of the reports OF
the massacre at Sitia, has deeply incensed
the Moslems, who, in spirit of revenge,
are more actively than ever engaged in
lootng the houses of the Christians I'M
der the eyes of the foreign sailors and ma
rines who were landed Tor the ostensible
purpose of protecting the lives and prop
erty of Christians and Moslems alike.
Many houses have been completely gut
ted of their contents.
The Moslem thieves make no pretense
of conducting their operations in secret,
but pile their booty in open spaces and
and leave some of their number to guard
the heterogeneous mass while they go in
search of further spoils. Many of the
looters are Moslems who were rescued
from Kandamos and Seine, and their
presence in the city has proved a verita Bile
scourge to the Christians here.
The latter think that Sir Alfred Biliotti,
the British Consul who brought these peo-
pie to place of safety, should take some
measures to check their thieving propen-
stiles. but he has done nothing to protect
the Christians from their depredatlons.
The other Consuls likewise appear to be
