GREECE CONTINUES FIRM.
Turkish Troops Will Not Be Allowed
10 Land in Crete,
More Fighting on the Island-The
Situation Daily Growing Worse.
The Great Powers Afraid of the
Outcome Of the Trouble-Want to
Restrain Greece.

London, February I'D G. Metaxas,
the Greek charge d'afiaires here, called
at the foreign Office and presented a note
expressly stating that the Greek gov
eminent had decided to prevent Turk
ism troops from debarking in Crete by
all means in its power.
A dispatch from Constantinople says
that the news from Crete is growing
mere serious every day, and it is under
stood that several Of the embassies
have received dispatches that Herak-
lion is on fire. In official circles the
only solution of the difficulty seems to
he a European occupation Of the island.
1t is understood that instructions have
been sent TO the commanders of the
foreign warships to prevent by force il
necessary any intervention upon the
part of the Greek warships.
4 Vienna dispatch says that a semi
official organ declares: Greece must
be restrained from going any further.
Austria has already acted and the other
powers will net be backward. They
will not assist Greece nor hinder Turk
ey in sending troops and responding
with hostilities to the aggressive action
of Greece.
The Turkish officials having with
drawn the guard from the Jewish quar-
ter at TripoH. mob Of Mussulmans
invaded it. piilaged the synagogue and
destroyed the scrolls Of the law.
The present revolt in Crete, like that
which lasted from 1866 70 1869. has been
caused by the terrible misgovernment
Of the Turks. The policy of the Sui
tan's deputies in the island has been
similar 10 that of Spain governors IN
Cuba. The only object Of the pachas
was TO enrich themselves by every pos
sible means. For instance, Mustapha,
n ferocious Albanian. accumulated a
fortune of twenty millions sterling dur
inc his administration. He compelled
tre Inhabitants 10 bring 10 him all their
oil the principal product OF the island.
and he paid for it sum which dld not
represent more than the cost OF trans
mort. Then he sold 1t at the regular
market rate and p0cketed the diner
ence.
The administration of Mustapha and
of Oner Pacha resulted IN the ruin OF
Crete II was only after the Crimean
war that the people took heart. They
knex-that they could not nope for any
thing from the sulians promises. But
he did RELY on the guarantee OF
I e., England and Russia for reform.
This reliance was not justified by the
! event. .

Great interest is manifested through

Since establishing himself In buai

Jones has cut a wide swath, living
magnifcently and being generous in
the treatment OF hiS employees and
others associated with him. As re-
suit, he became immensely popular,
and his business from the start as
sumed large dimensions. When ar
rested by the Scotland Yard detectives,
he was driving in sleigh with his
wife about two miles from the stock
farm; and, despite his entreaties and
remonstraEces, the officers refused to
allow him to return home to give direc
tions concerning his business, and in
sisted upon taking him direct to the
railway station. He Is said to be the
most fashionably at,ired prisoner ever
brought up at Baw street, his fur lined
overcoat alone, it is said, having cost
$1,000.
Jones wss arraigned again at Bow
