San Diego. Cal, March 1S.-Ex-Gov-
ernor Horace Boies of Iowa left here
for the north this evening.
Speaking of national affairs, Cover
nor Boies siad:
THE cause of silver never looked
brighter than it does today. The de-
feat of Bryan was. of course, sore
blow, especially to thoses who knew
him and understood his great fitness
for the position. We must re-adjust
little along the lines, (smiling) but in
the end everything will come out all
right"
What do you think of President Nc
Kinley's proposed plan of appointing
ambassadors to an international none
tary conference" was asked.
Nothing" replied the governor
promptly. There is nothing in any
scheme looking toward international
bimetalism by agreement; it is all nom
sense, and none know it better than the
party leaders themselves. In Iowa the
ceuse of silver grows stronger with the
days. The momentous questions COM
ing before this administration for set
tlement must be met and met right or
people will hold the party that elected
Mckinley to answer at the polls in
November. What they will do remains
to be SEEN"

New York. March 13.-J. Irving Man
att, professor of Greek in Brown uni
versity, is in the city. Professor Man
att was United States consul at Athens
for four years under the Harrison ad-
ministration, and is known as the
writer of Greek history. In speaking
of the present crisis in the affairs of
Greece, Professor Manatt paid a high
tribute to the character of the men
halting powers.
King George" he continued, has
been the balance wheel of the Greeks
for 80 years. He is one of the boldest
men. He has tempered the impulSlve
people, and guided his subjects care
fully and ably through the difficulties
that have beset them. When we con-
slider his remarkable conservatism,
this present stand with regard TO the
Turkish control of Crete is significant
He has. in my opinion, staked his
throne on the issue of the question

island Should Greece be compelled 10

king would probably abdicate. A par

might also cause him to withdraw IN
favor of the crown prince, COHStdullH-
THE talk of the accession of Prince
Constantin to the throne recalls q ira
dition that has been feebly cherished
in Greece for generations. The Greeks,
to this day, have their oracles and lay
more or less stress on the predictions
of the wise men. Years ago one Oh
the oracles forecasted the DESTINY OF
Greece and said the day would come
when a Constantin and Sopla would
rule over the nation, and that in that
day the Greeks would possess Constan-
tinople. That has been a fond dream
of the Greeks. In October, 1889, when
the crown prince married Sopia, sister
of the emperor of Germany, that ira
dition was brought forcibly TO mind,
and it has not been forgotten since

sons for his present course with regard

tirely personal. 1t is his anger at the
action of his sister in embracing the
religion of her husband. The emperor
is a fanatic on this subject. The otfer
reason is a financial one. The hrm

SALISBURY'S POLICY.
General Opinion Said to Be in His
Favor

London, March 14.-Gleaning opinions
upon Lord Salisbury's Graeco-Cretan
policy from all possible quarters. it is
discovered that the balance of opinion
in the lobbies of the house of commons.
in the leading London and provincial
clubs and in what diplomatic circles
are accessible, is decisively in his IA
vor. Even among the Radicals, who
naturally contend that the English
government might have taken a better
way to satisfy the prevalent feeling of
the Greeks, it is admitted that Lord
Salisbury is acting with infinite tact
and prudence. His own sentiments are
known to be more with Greece than
Turkey, and if all the difficulties he
has had to meet and continues to en-
get more credit for craftsmanship
which is at once Christian and poll
tic His own and Mr. Curzon's dec
larations in parliament are necessar-
lily lacking in respect of some of the
most important diplomatic develop
ments arising since the Graeco-Cretan
situation became acute. The Cretan
blue book disclosed negotiations only
up to the end of September and on
many of the most vital matters on
which Lord Salisbury and the chiefs
of the European powers have been at
issue since then, there is still no Off
cial declaration. The foreign office has,
however, permitted some part of the
past and pending negotiations to trans
pire which lights some hidden corners
of the European concert policy, and
if the British government could pub
lish a blue book up to date it would be
shown that Lord Salisbury has been
endeavoring to get the best terms for
Greece compatible with any possible
maintenance of the so-called concert,
and that his main and most uncompro-
missing opponent has been the German
emperor.
Lord Salisbury desired that the Greek
troops should not be withdrawn from
Crete till the scheme of autonomy was
promulgated and partly acted upon.
and that the withdrawal of the Turk
ish troops should be simultaneous The
kaiser took the initiative in insisting
upon the Greek troops withdrawing
upon no pledge as to the abolition of
the Turkish regime. or the retirement
of the sultan's soldiers. Lord Sails
bury suggested that the scheme of au-
tonomy should include the appointment
of a Greek prince-Prince George, or
other-as governor of Crete. with power
to appoint his own council to conduct
the administration and again on the
initiative of Germany the proposal has
been practically rejected.
1t is no longer a secret that the Ger
man emperor, whether out of personal
sympathy with a despot or contempt
for constitutional regime, or actuated

INSURGENTS ALL RIGHT.

Not Less Than 10000 Men Now in
the Field-But Few Americans
Are Among Them.

Boston, March 13.-Following are ex-
cerpts from column interview Drintes
here tonight with DR.. J. Herbert SteDh-
ems, recently 4 colonel in the Cuban
army:
'.The insurgent army is a little better
equipped today than ever before, and
should say that at the present time there
are not less than $4,000 men in the field
Food has been scarce at times. but when

and bananas Beef is plentiful on the
island where cattle run wild in hundreds
of thousands. The men round them up,
kill and dress a bunch of cows. Much
of the beef is wasted, but the supply
seems unlimited.
LAS far as 1 was able to observe there
are few Americans in the Cuban army,
and the stories of whole comCanies are
unfounded The Cuban, like the Span
lard, is suspicious of Americans and
jealousy prevails all over the island.
Americans and Cubans do not affiliate.
Il should say that about 80 per cent
of the men in the army are colored:
There are few colored men with General

KAISER rs WARM.
What He Would Like to do to Greece
if He Could.

Berlin. March 13.-Behind the circular
which Russia has sent to the powers,
proposing that each of them send 1000
trooDs 70 Crete to occupy the island,
and compel the withdrawal OF the
Greeks. is a proposal which has been
communicated here from Vienna and
probably sent to other governments.
that Boso Petrovitch, an uncle OF
Prince Nicholas of Montenegro, be ap-
pointed governor of Crete with guard
COMPOSED Of Montenegrian troops suf-
ficiently strong to maintain order in
the island. The understanding here is
that Russia wants the powers to pre-
sent an ultimatum to Greece WITHIN
a week, demanding a general disarma-
ment of the Greeks and the withdrawal
of the Greek troops now in Crete with
in seven days, and notifying the Greek
government that if the demands are not
complied with within the period specl-
fed the powers will resort to coercive
measures 20 compel compliance with
out further notice, and the suggested
mixed occupation of the island will be-
come an accomplished fact.
KAISER IS WARM.
The kaiser is understood TO be favor
able TO extreme measures, provided that
Russia will join in formulating and
presenting an ultimatum of the char
acter mentioned, and has refused to
take Dart in the English negotiations
upon the subject of presenting col
lectiVe note in reply to Greece'S reply
to the powers. The attitude of the
Berlin government is that Germany S
share in diplomatic action in regard TO
Crete is ended, and if there is to be no
coercion the German government will
not discuss the Greek notes at all. Aus
tria concurs with Germany in this view
of the matter. but Italy and France
are hesitating, though the belief in
German Official quarters is that they
will both Join the German Russian
Austrian combination, even if England
declines to do so. If the debates on
the Greek situation which will take
place in the French senate and cham
ber of deputies on Monday should pre-
vent France from taking part in the
concert Italy may hold aloof from that
time on In such a case the three inn
perial powers, Russia, Germany and
Austria. will proceed against Greece
by themselves. 1t is the belief that the
breaking up of the concert of the pow
ers is imminent: that Russia has
brought forth Boso Petrovitch as a
candidate for the governorship of Crete
and the st. Petersburg government
must certainly know that Greece will
never consent to his appointment to
the office, as it would forever blast her
hopes of acquiring Crete. So far as the
ultimate fate of the island is concerned,
there has not been a single word given
out by the diplomats conducting the
negotiations that furnish the slightest
indication of what the end will be. In
any event. it is we'll known that neither
the czar nor the kaiser will permit a
plebescite nor any other reference of
the question TO a popular vote of the
inhabitants of the island.

TREACHERoUS TURKS.
They Steal Everything They Can
Garry Away.

Athens, March ia dispatch from
Larissa. in Thesalia, says that a rail-
way bridge over the river Varduari
near Salonica, Turkey, was blown up
with dynamite while a train with 1900
Turkish troops on board was crossing
il. A large portion of the bridge was
ccmpletely wrecked. Several of the
cars were overturned and fell into the
river Many of their occupants were
unable to get out and perished before
assistance could be rendered them.
Other soldiers who managed to get free
from the car were dragged down by
the weight of their accoutrements and
drowned. 1t is not known how many
lost their lives, but it is reported that
the number is large.
The transportation of troops in the
direction of the Greek frontier has
been suspended pending the repair of
the bridge. 1t is supposed that the ex-
plosion was caused by Macedonian
nalcontents.
Advices from Canea show that the
pillaging of the houses of absent
Christians in that city is being contin-
ued, not by the Turkish troops alone,
but by the Turkish municipal authori-
ties. and despite the fact that soldiers
and marines from the foreign war
ships, landed ostensibly to protect the
town. are still on duty, no effort has
been made TO stop the work of robbers
In fact, more pillaging is going on in
the presence of the forces of the pow
ers, who have received no orders to
check it, Last night and today the
municipal authorities went to the
houses of Christians who fed from
the city and opened them under the
pretext that they were to be used as
lodging places for some of the many
refugees who have reached Canea. The
real object of the officers, however. was
to steal anything they could lay hands
on. They even took away the furniture
and houserold utensils, TO say nothing
of the other more valuable property
they found. In some cases the houses
were completely diSmantled

speculetions on the Tariff.

New York March IA Herald spec
ial on the tariff bill says:
The wool schedule stands as in the
Mckinley act, with the exception that
white pine has been made dutiable
with spruce at 81 per 1000 feet, and a
paragraph has been inserted taxing
kindling wood IN bundles not exceed
ing a quarter OF a cubic foot each,
3-10th's of n cent a bundle and larger
bundles 3-10ths of a cent for each ad-
ditional quarter OF cubic foot or frac-
tional part.
The wine and liquor schedule stands
exactly the same as in the Mckinley
law. but as some of the articles in this
schedule are to be made the basis of
reciprocity agreements, there may be
increases n the rates when the reci-
procity section of the bill is decided
upon.

The Smyrna Went Back.

Athens, March 13.-The Greek steam
er Smyrna arrived at Canea this morn
ing. Immediately after she had come
to an anchorage her captain received
an order from one of the foreign ad-
nirals, presumably Admiral Canevaro
of the Italian navy, who is by reason
of seniority in command of the COM
bined fleets, directing him to leave at
once. The captain of the Smyrna re-
fused TO do so. whereupon the admiral
who issued the order sent him notice
that he would be given five minutes in
which to obey the order. 1t at the eX-

no reply to Greece's answer to the note
demanding the withdrawal of the Greek
fleet and troops from Crete, but TO pro-
ceed at once to take such steps as will
compel Greece to accede to the de-
mands made upon her.
1t is said that the first step to be
taken in this direction will be the es-
tablishment of a pacific blockade of
Crete, which means that vessels cap
tured while attempting to run the
blockade will not be condemned and
sold. but will be held until the Cretan
question shall be settled, when they
will be returned to their owners.
