DEPENDS ON VASSOS.
when He Rctires the Blockade of Crete
Will BE Raised.

LONDON, April THE correspond
ent of The Daily News at Canea says
the admirals, at the oral request of Sir
Alfred Billotti, the British consul in
Crete, have agreed to travel through
out the island and personally to make
known to the Cretans the terms of a
new proclamation announcing tnat the
blockade Will continue only so long as
Colonel NassOS and the Greek expedi-
tionary force remain in Crete.
The Athens correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle Will say tomorrow I:
The Greek government learns that the
foreign ambassadors ut Constantlnople,
ut the first session convened to decide
upon an organic statute for Crete,
adopted eastern ROumela as a model
The omen Is striking, for it indicates
that the governor viii be n European,
selected from among the secondary
powers.

RENDERED HIS RESIGNATION.
The Governor of Havana Resigns His
Office.

Office.
HAVANA, April Tt is understood
that SenOr Jose POrrua, who, in Feb.
ruary last succeeded General Suarez
Valdez as civil governor of Havana and
Western Cuba, has rendered his resig-
nation by cable to Premier CanOvas,
forwarding by mail his reasons for the
act. Captain General Weyler is said to
oppose the resignation because he con-
siders SenOr Porrua's presence in the
island eXpedient for the time.
Senior POrrua, however, is evidently
resolved and 1t is not impossible that
the affair may bring about Weyler's
own resignation. Senior POrrua will
sail for Spain on the goth of April, by
the steamer Reina Christina. He gives
up office cheerfully, he says, because it
will bring an end of compromises and
disgust ON reaching Spain he Will
probably abandon the political follow
ing of Senior CanOvas and unite HIM
self TO the extreme wing of the Con-
servative party headed by Romero
