Greece Has Received No Official In forma-
ton of the Blockade of Cretan Ports.
LONDON, March 17.-The Standard
Wednesday publishes a dispatch from
Athens saying that up to Tuesday
evening the government had received
no official information that the fleets
of the powers were blockading Crete.
A dispatch from Vienna to the same
paper says the representatives of the
powers in CONSTANT nople have been
intrusted with the task of framing a
scheme of autonomy for Crete. Their
work will be partly facilitated by con-
situations with the porte.
Some doubt exists here as to whether
or not the blockade of Crete has actual
ly commenced, notwithstandiag the
statement of Prime Minister Salisbury
that orders had been given to put the
blockade into operation at once. The
special dispatches sent from Canea
Tuesday make no mention of the ports
having been closed by the warships of
the powers.
A dispatch from Canea to a news
agency says that the foreign admirals
have not yet proclaimed the blockade.
The statement received from Vienna
Tuesday afternoon saying that the
blockade began Tuesday was reaf.
frmed but it is not official and is like
ly to be premature.

DESOLATION
Fer Hundred Miles Or More Above
Memphis, Tenn, Reported.
Hundreds of People in the Water With
out Means Of Escape-Light Draught
Steamers Sent to Their Rescue-But
Two Lives Reported Lost.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 17.-So far
as reported with reliability Tuesday
there have been but two drownings in
the flood, both being Negroes, in the
vicinity of Marion, Ark. Stories of
rescue by the half dozen or more
steamers engaged in the work and
vessels arriving from above and be-
low have, however, added highly
thrilling features to the situation.
From refugees arriving from back of
Marion it was learned that hundreds
Of people in that section were in the
water and without means to escape.
Accordingly a light draught steamer
was pushed in that direction as far as
possible and sl<iffs penetrated further.
The result was the rescue of scores of
sufferers. On Presidents island, below
here, a large number were found in
the interior and brought from the
water.
On Island Forty, above, report
came that there were between fifty
and a hundred in between three and
four feet of water and a steamer was
dispatched to their relief. The steam
from above brought tidings of desola-
ton and distress all along the
river for hundred miles or more.
The latter's officers declared that
there were certainly hundreds
of people for whom there was no pros
pect of relief. Every piece of ground
along the river above water was
crowded with people and live stock,
and in one instance their place of ref
uge was a sawdust mound which was
being steadily swept away from under
them. A special from Florence, Ala. !,
reports the Tennessee river booming
and rising half an inch per hour. The
Yazoo river at Greenwood, Miss.
is at flood tide with the
Tallahatchee and Yallabusta pour
ing great volumes into it. All of
this goes into the Mississippi to increase
its floods. Helena, Ark, reports the
Mississippi two feet four inches below
the highest mark, rising and with
rain all Monday night and Tuesday.
That correspondent also reports an eX-
pected levee break at Modoc, near
there Reinforced government crews
are now engaged in stacking" it.

She was a bark-rigged screw steamer
of 1900 tons register.
The schooner Hilda, that plies along
the coast between Perth Ambov and
Savannah, came into port with four
of the saved, and bearing with her a
story horrible even in the annals of
the Atlantic ocean. She carried in her
cabin four passengers whom she had
picked up in boat Monday, ten miles
off shore.
There were three corpses in the
boat. Nothing could be done but con-
sign the dead to the sea. Capt. Berri
and the three men were care
fully looked after and partial

reason. All that they could tell
was that the Vile de st. Nazaire had
somehow been wrecked or abandoned
and that these four men were the sur
vivors of those who had taken to the
boats, of 81 souls. The others either
starved or were frozen to death. Sew
eral of them were women.
In the haste to leave the vessel it
was impossible to get provisions or
water to last more than a day. OF the
four boats only one had been heard
from. 1t is believed that the other
three were lost. The largest boat con-
tanned IS persons It,had practically
no provisions,

seas for seven days and nights, and for
six of these days and nights the pas
sengers were without food or drink.

Charged With Murder.

Henry Frye, young white man, had
a preliminary trial at Covington last
week charged with the killing of me-
gro named Jesse Adams. The negro
was killed by Frye some time last April
near Mason. 1t seems that Frye and
some other men had put their dogs on
some of Adams cows, which were in
the cornfeld of man named Howard.
Adams and Towards son, who was
present, became involved in an alterca-
ton. Frye interposed and attempted
to quiet the negro. The negro became
enraged at him and picked up a long
club and also put his hand on his hip
pocket as if about to draw pistol.
Frye drew his pistol and snapped it
three times at the negro before it went
off. He seems not to have been dis
couraged, however, and the next time
he pulled the trigger the pistol fred
and shot the negro in the back, fatally

Good showers fell throughout the
State during the early part Of the past
week, and, where the amount was suffi-
Gent, growing and maturing crops were
greatly improved in condition. Late
corn needs more moisture for proper
SLING out. Tobacco prospects are fair,
and in most districts is making salts
factory progress. Cotton is reported in
fair condition of development-ope
rapidly. The large and fine millet crop
has been saved in fine condition. Stock
peas are in good condition and ready
for harvesting. Peanuts are reported
growing well, but in some places the
crop is being damaged by insects. The
watermelon crop is the largest and
finest for many years, all over the
State. Other crops, as sweet potatoes
sorghum, and turnlps are good where
sufficient rain has fallen. Winter APP

Mont Eagle Assembly May Move.

Grundy county is moving to tax the
Mont Eagle Assembly, and also wants
back taxes for four years. The prop
erty has been exempt for fifteen years
under its charter, and the assembly
board is much stirred up over the mat
ter. If the county's contention is sus-
tanned by the courts it is probable that
the assembly will be located somewhere
else. The general manager has been
instructed to negotiate with localities
in other States with view to this
change.
