Blue Jackets Guarding the City-COl.
VassOs Not Daunted.

CANEA Island of Crete. Feb. 16.-The
Russian. French, British. Italian and Aus
trian flags are floating over Canea to-day
and the fact causes general satisfaction
here The state of uncertainty which has
so long prevailed is now at an end, and the
Christians believe themselves to be rid for
all time of Mussulman rule. There are 45O
foreign marines ashore. and they occupy
the best positions in the town, the British
being quartered in a large building adjoin-
ing the telegraph Office. The Russian,
French British and Italian war ships each
furnished one hundred marines to the land
ing party, and the Austrian war ship con-
tributed fifty men to the foreign garrison
The utmost order is maintained, guards are
regularly mounted and the outskirts of the
town are patrolled. Shortly after landing
Yesterday afternoon the Italian officer who
is in command of the foreign force, by
agreement between the naval commanders
issued a summons addressed to the COM
mander of the Greek army corps at Platon-
les. Colonel Vassos, 10 withdraw his troops
and the insurgents Were called upon to
cease hostilities pending the decision of the
powers as TO the future OF Crete. To this
the Greek commander replied: II have
come here with four battaliOns of Greek
troops, with orders to occupy the country,
and l must carry out my orders pending
foreign admirals being confined to prevent
ing the landing of Greek forces at Canea
Retimo and Heraklion, they could not in
terfere with the Greeks under Colonel
Nassos.
A great massacre is reported to have oc-
CURED at Sitit. and the Italian ship
Dara has been hastily dispatched to that
plaCe.

GREECE NOT ALARMED.


ATHENS, Feb. 16-It is generally be-
leved here that Cretan features of the
eastern question are now almost thing
of the past and that the landing of Greek
troops on the island of Crete is not likely
TO turn out a casus belli between Turkey
and Greece. The absolute decision of
Greece to persist in the occupation of Crete
and the protection of the Christians
of that island in spite of the
attitude of the powers is founded on the
declaration of the Cretans that they are
prepared to shed the last drop Of their blood
In order to attain their national aspira-
tions. to which they add cannot be salts
fed with anything short of complete union
with Greece. The Greek troops in Crete, 1t
is announced, are advancing on Canea. The
proclama tions of Colonel Vassos, the COM
mander of the Grecian forces at PlatonicS,
was dated from the convent OF Coma and
read:
..Cretans-You are suffering from the
present state of anarchy and are exposed
10 the excesses of a fanatical populace, ex-
cesses which have awakened the nauonaI
sentiment and have deeply stirred the Hell
lenic people This lamentable situation of
a people of the same race and same re-
ligion. having common destinies with our
selves could not any longer be allowed to
exist The King of the Hellenese,
my august master has resolved
to end this state of things by military
occupation of Crete. In proclaiming this
occupation to the inhabitants, without dis
tinction of religion or nationality, promise
i'm the name of his Majesty to protect
honor, life and property and to respect the
religious convictions of the inhabitants
while bringing them peace and law.

TROUBLES OF A BANKER.


LOUISVILLE. Ky, Feb. 16-The troub-
les of banker j. NJ. Mcknight multiply. He
was recently arrested and released on bond
to answer charges growing out of the fail-
ure OF the German National Bank. of which
he was president. This morning affidavit
was made before the United States officers
charging Mcknight and +. 4. Britt, men,
ber of the City Council, with defrauding
the German National out of $1,000. Nc
knight and Britt were arrested this after
noon and gave bond for their appearance.
The arrests were brought about by the
discovery in the assets of the bank OF "a
mysterious note for $2.o0 without interest.
signed by Aldermen Britt and Reeder. The
fact that no charges were pre-
ferred against Reeder leads 10 the belief
that he disclosed the nature of the trans
action. The note was drawn two years ago,
at the time of the contest in the City Coun-
ell over the election of "A successor to the
late Mayor Tyler. Mcknight was a promi-
nent candidate for the office but was
successful. The prosecution viii attempt TO
show that the banks funds were used in
connection with this contest.

on the goth of March.

FRANKFORT. Ky, Feb. 16.-The fate OF
Scott Jackson and Alonzo Walling has been
sealed and nothing short OF suicide or par
don can now prevent their execution for
the murder Of Pearl Bryan. Governor Brad
ley to-day signed the warrant for their
death, fixing the date on which they shall
pay the penalty for their crime Saturday.
March 20. The Governor lost no time in
carrying out the mandate of the Court OF
Appeals. He had already made himself IA
miliar with all the facts in the case. Even
before the highest tribunal m the Common
wealth had finally passed on the petition
of the prisoners for a rehearing Of their
appeal for a new trial the chief executive
had carefully gone over the papers in the
case and had thoughtfully weighed all the
arguments brought forward in favor of
communication of the sentence.
Appeals for clemency are on file i'm the
Governors office and hard fights are like
ly to be made for respites and pardon. 1t
is not believed by those who are familiar
with Governor Bradley's personality that
he will be moved by any statements made
by the condemned men with a view 10 their
securing a Communication of sentence. Gov
ernor Bradley is of the opinion that If
either one of the men was not directly con-
cerned In the murder. the story would have
come out by this time.
The Governors speedy action in fixing
the date of execution is partly on account
of a request made by Sheriff Plummer, who
will have charge of the execution. The
sheriff some days ago made known his de-
sire to Governor Br adley 20 the effect that
he wished TO have the whole matter off his
hands as soon as possible. An effort was
made to have Governor Bradley fix Wall
ings execution one day later than Jackson
in order that jackson might have an OPP
portunity to confess and clear Walling. The
Governor declined TO do this, however. Spe-
cial Messenger Carroll Walcutt will take
the death warrant to Sheriff Plummer.

PROF. FANCIULLI ARRESTED.
Lender of Marine Band REFUSED 10
Plny .El CnpItnp."

A mild sensation was caused in Wash
ington City Monday in musical and OIL
cial circles by the placing under arrest
OF Professor +. Fanciulli, leader OF the
Marine Band, by his superior officer,
Lieutenant r. l.. Draper, OF the United
States Marine Corps.
The Marine Band. with n battalion Of
the Marine Corps, had been ordered ia
participate in the Decoratior-Day sers
vices at Arlington Cemetery. Lieutenant
Draper was I'm command of the Marine
Corps, and, OF course. the band was
also under his command. He was not
altogether satisfied with the marches
Professor Fanciulli had played on the
way from the barracks 10 tho line Ct
parade and he suggested 10 the leader
that he play something else, naming "Ei
Captain"
Professor Fenciull did not take kindly
TO the suggestion, and told the Lieu
tenant that he would play what he saw
fit. and that he had the right to select
the music himself. Lieutenant Draper
then declared:
You will play what I order you to
play"
This did not soothe the leaders, feel
ings. and he again disputed the right
of the Lieutenant to select the music.
Tho upshot of the matter was that Pro-
fessor Fanclulli was ordered to the bar
racks. there TO report himself under ar
rest. He dld so, and the band was left
under the leadership OF the next In rank.
and Professor Fanciulli now waits an
Investigation of his conduct by Colonel
Haywood, commandant OF the Marine
Corps.
II is said that Professor Fanciulli is
averse TO playing some OF the popular
marches composed by his popular prede-
cessor John Philip Sousa. and. when
lieutenant Draper suggested "El Capt.
tan" one Of Sousa's latest, the leader
was naturally somewhat RULED.

PECULIAR POISONS,
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY.
The Result of Imperfect Digestion
of Food.

Every living thing, plant or animal
contains within itself the germs Of GER
tain decay and death.
In the human body these germs Of dis
ease and death called by scientists
Ptomaines). are usually the result OF i'm
perfect digestion OF food; the result Of
Indigestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach. from abuse, weakness.
does not promptly and thoroughly
digest the food. The result is a heavy.
sodden mass which ferments 0he first
process of decay. poisoning the blood
making 1t thin, weak, and lacking in red
corpuscles poisoning the brain. causing
headaches and pain in the eyes.
Bad digestion irritates the heart,
causing palpitation, and finally bringing
on disease of this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys
causing Bright's disease and diabetes
And this is so, because every organ,
every nerve depends upon the stomach
alone for nourishment and renewal, and
weak digestion shows itself not only in
loss of appetite and flesh, but in weak
nerves and muddy complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxley.
said the best start in life is a sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fail to digest
food properly. because they lack the
proper quantity of digestive acids Qactic
and hydrochloric) and peptogenic pro-
ducts. The most sensible remedy in all
cases of Indigestion, is TO take after each
meal one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. because they supply in a plea
SAINT harmless form all the elements
that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use OF Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form Of stomach
trouble. except cancer of the stomach
They increase flesh, insure pure blood,
strong nerves. a bright eye, and clear
complexion. because all these result
only from wholesome food well digested.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets at so cents full-sized pack
age. or by mail by enclosing price, TO
Stuart Company, Marshall, Mich, but
ask your druggist first.
A little book on stomach diseases mailed
free. Address Stuart Company, Marshall,
