from the camp of the irregulars at Ka-
koplevea. dated Friday. The camp IS
situated below the snow line of Mount

service of the ethnik hetairia, crossed
the frontier Friday morning at Finiki
and burned several block houses. They
formed in three bodies and surrounded
a strong Turkish station at Baltino. Nine
prisoners were brought to Kakoplevea
and lodged in schoolhouse. The COR
respondent says: II have been to ths
scene of action. The block house Is in
the middle of a poor village. The irreg-
ulars were running around In unorgan-
lied bodies, keeping up constant fire
at the block house, but apparently with
out much impression. When left at
noon the Turks still held out, but were
firing over the heads of the Greeks. They
probably have been taken prisoners ere
this.
This movement Is supposed to be
general but as yet think only six Greek
have been killed among them, however.
Makris, the leader. and many have been

AN AUTHORIZED RAID.
.nt OF te naR nARyil lThs SaF,P S9ErssPonndi
say tomorrow: As an alleged indication
Of the connivance of the Greek govern
ment at the raid last Friday it is point
ed out that orders were sent to all the
stations of the country on the
day the band started to refuse to accept
in cipher, while open tele-
grams announcing the fact of the raid
were not to be accepted. This recalls
the sudden arrangement OF Greek tele-
graph communication on the day when
Col Vassos started for Crete, preventing
the diplomats from advising their gov
ernments of the expedition. 1t is r-umor-
ed that the resignat ton of NJ. Delyan-
mis- and the cabinet is possible and that
the powers have again offered the gov
ernorship of Crete to Prince Waldemar
of Denmark but that the Due de Charles
has advised his son-in-law to decline a

fronting the people. He said: Il am
fully prepared to make war when it be-

attempt to cross the frontier and attack
