London, March pa dispatch to the
Times from Athens, says that when 1t
became known Saturday afternoon that
Crown Prince Constantine would leave
the city in the evening for the Greek
camp at Larissa TO take command Of the
Greek army in the field. large crowd
gathered on ConstaciOn square. adjoining
the palace. As the evening proceeded the
crowd increased TO a multitude and the
square and streets adjacent were filled
with an excited throng, cheering, singing
patriotic songs and firing revolvers. The
populace shouted: For union and war;
and cheered continuously for the crown
prince and the army. After an address
by popular orator deputation was
chosen to present an address to the
crown prince. The demonstrations of The
crowd increased during the service in the
palace chapel, and thousands gathered in
front of the palace to witness the depart
ure of Prince Constantine. Great disap
pointment was expressed when later il
became known that the crown prince had
left the palace privately. An immense
throng, including many thousands OF
Cretans, assembled on the auays OF
Piraeus, brilliantly illuminated by lights
to witness the embarkation. The wildes
enthusiasm was displayed, with shout
ing, cheering and the incessant discharge
of firearms.
The Daily Nails Rome correspondent

Cretans and held as a spy. He would
probably have been shot. but for the op-

list and the insurgent leader Manos. an
old Oxford man, who is at the head of a
band of Cretans whom he personally
equipped. Manos was the first to enter
the block house when the Turks evacuat-
ed it, and he prevailed on the insurgents
to spare the lives of forty-three Turkish
prisoners.
1t is reported that the bombardment by
the international fleet on Friday wrought
serious havoc among Christians.
There is some danger of a Mohamme-
dan uprising on the Island of Crete un
account of the scarcity of food.
The correspondent of the Times says
that a vigorous movement has been set
on foot against the proposal to establish
Crete as principally under a Greek
prince.
Ethnike Hetairia published a manifesto
declared that this is the most impracti,
cable solution yet proposed and conceals
deliberate design to separate the island
from the Greek race and subject it to
Moslem control.
The manifesto says that all the Gallant.
ties that could be involved by Greek de-
feat are preferable to the internal convul.
sions which the acceptance of such a pro.
ject would entail.

London, March 29.-The Daily Mail
prints dispatch from Bombay which
saws that the fanatical Mohqmmodans
there display the greatest opposition to
the measures taken by the government
for suppressing the bubonic plague. For
instance, on Saturday Mohammedan

fused to allow her to submit herself to
the necessary inspection. The officials
insisted, whereupon the MohammedaI
suddenly drew his dagger and stabbed
her to the heart. Then he stabbed thu
official physician and attempted to xii
himself.
The plague is spreading rapidly in Bull

NOTHING TO FEAR.
Il. ID. Armour Says Mexican Gait
Are Inferior to American Cattle

T.. ID. Armour Says Mexican Cattle
Are Inferior to American Cattle.
Chicago, March Pin an interview,
Mr.. T. ID. Armour was asked what his
views were upon the restoration of the
import duty on cattle. and particularly
Mexican cattle, and his opinion as to the
probability of Mexican canning factories
being able to compete with the canning
establishments of the United States MIR.
Armour declared the idea TO be prepos-
ferrous, as Mexican cattle are inferior in
quality to American cattle, and the fac
tories would fail to make the experiment
success. In fact, the experiment of
packing Mexican cattle in Mexico has
proved a dismal failure. and the parties
making the attempt are discouraged.
Australia is liable to become more for
midable competitor. Australian cattle are
superior in quality and higher in grade.
and whatever competition we are to have
with cattle in foreign countries will not
be with South America or Mexico, hut
with Australia.
