SAYS TURKEY Is TO BLAME
Delyannis Charges That the Porte Prompt.
ed the Bombardment.

Athens, March 1.-At meeting of the
chamber of deputies, Senior Delyannis
announced in tine most positive terms
that il was the Turks who had provoked
the fleets of the powers to lombard Ca
nea. The minister of marine read TO the
chamber the injunctions addressed by the
foreign admirals to the commodore of the
Greek fleet, for bidding either sea or 4
land attack upon the Turkish ships for
the advance of Colonel Vassos into the
interior and stating that any attempt at
evasion of these injunctions would be re-
PEELED by the combined fleets of the
powers. This created a great sensation
ir the chamber. Deputy Senis asserted
that the reply of the Geek government
should have been declaration Of war.
The minister of marine, resuming, said
thar the government had notified the
powers that it would be impossible TO i'm
pose such condition of inactivity upon
Colonel Vassos. He stated further that
Greece would use all the means in her
power TO prevent the landing of Turkish
troops in Crete, but would resist an at
tack upon occupied towns SO long as the
occupation lasted. {
Senior Delyannis, who rose again, in
dignantly protested against the bonn
bardment as an unjust, savage and i'm
pious act; nexplicable under the spirit
or letter OF International law. Greece,
he said, had instructed her representa-
tives abroad to protest against the bonn
bardment to the respective governments
to which they were accredited.
I'VE are convinced" he concluded,
that the admirals of the foreign fleet
acted without instructions. We are a
small nation and cannot prevent such
acts, but we protest with all the force of
a great people, knowing that We have
all great people with us in the protest"
Prolonged cheers followed the utter
ances of Senior Delyannis. and the cham

ments. The Mussulmans Of Canea are
greatly excited by the news that the Mus
sulmans Of Candiamo are in the greatest
peril
a dispatch 10 the Times from Athens
says: at is unlikely that date will be
fixed for the withdrawal OF the Greek
forces from Crete. The probability is that

fuse 10 evacuate the island
