TO FLEE FROM GREECE
LEGATIONS ADVISING THEIR COUN-
TRYMEN TO LEAVE.
Trains bringing in Thousands of
Reserves From the Country,
Who Parade the Streets.

London, March Z. - A Times dispatch
from Athens at midnight says some of
the members of the foreign legations and
other foreign residents have already LEFT
the city, and 1t is reported that several of
the legations have advised all foreigners
to leave Greece. This has caused pain
full feeling on the part of the Greek pub
lie, which regards it as an unjustihed
step, as the foreigners have been treated
with all respect and have at no time teen
in any danger whatever. Moreover, a ma
jority of the foreign residents are known
to favor the Greek cause.
Certainly the aspect of the city is very
warlike, but considering the excited state
of the public mind the people are behav-
ing with moderation and exhibiting mark
ed self-control.
The trains are bringing in thousands of
reserves from the provinces and these are
parading the street with their accoutre-
ments.
A squadron of cavalry and batteries of
artillery traverse the principal streets
and will embark for Thessaly, which gives
vlvidness to the scene. Great crowds join
ed the soldiers in hurrahing for war and
proclaiming loyalty to Greece, to King
George and to the government.
The remainder of the reserves will be
held back until the last moment. The
troops already on the frontier are deemed
sufficient for the present, and more than
this, it is believed that the presence of
foreign men-of-war near the Piraeus in
dicates that the blockade will commence
tomorrow, thus severing communication
with the frontier.
The members of the press of Athens
have Joined in a dispatch to Admiral Ca
nevaro, commanding the allied fleets at
| Canea, expressing surprise that the lives
of foreign correspondents should be en-
dangered by the therats of violence on tbs
part of Mussulmans, and urging the ad-
miral to take active steps where neces-
sary to guard the lives of inoffensive jour
nalists engaged in the honorable perform
ance of their duty under the protection OF
the flags of the six great powers.

THE CASE OF CORWINE
PAYMASTER CHARGED WITH EN-
BInZZLING FUNDS.
Navy Department, However, VIII
TnlSe the Matter in Hand md
Fix the Punishment.

Newport, r. l., March 7.-Paymaster
John Corwine, who is charged with en-
bezzlement of funds of the navy depart
ment, who left here week ago, after
cashing a 5000 check at the First Ma
tional bank of Newport, arrived in this
city today from Chicago. in charge of
police officers.
Corwine was Immediately taken before
Judge Baker, and pleaded not guilty to
the charge of embezzlement, and was
held in $4,000 bail for examination on Fri
day. Bail was furnished. and Corwine
is now at home with his wife.
AT the close of the arraignment pro-
ceedings today Lieutenant Clark, of the
naval station, acting in behalf of Com
modore MCGOWAN, attempted to take
Corwine to the naval station to answer
charges of embezzlement from the United
States government Corwines counsel
objected to his going on the ground that
he might be held until Saturday, thereby
forfeiting his bail in the state court
Commodore MCGOWAN was consulted
and agreed not to press the claim with
out the state case had been settled. IT
appears likely that such settlement will
actually take place.
Corwine has already, through his wife
returned to the First National bank
$4924 of the $4,000 which he is charged with
taking unlawfully. and 1t is said the
bank may withdraw Its charge, a pro-
ceeding which is permitted by the laws OF
the state.
Judge Baker, who will conduct the ex-
animation, is counsel for the bank. While
on his way back from Chicago Corwine
related to Detective Richard the circum-
stances which led up to his last act. He
said that three years ago, while on board
the Nipsic. his clerk absconded with near
ly $4,000.
Corwine's father-in-law, who was OF
his bond, made good the amount, as thu
clerk was a relative of the family.
Since then Corwine has been endeavor
ing to pay back the amount, and in doinl
so took some of the government funds
When he heard that the pay inspecto
had arrived, he knew a shortage woul'
| be found, and rather than face the or
| deal, he left the station. and cashing th
| check, started for Cripple Greek.

audience shot up in the air when Father
Phiamdols, the pastor of the colony pro
posed the OATH and their smaller neigh
bors waved their arms wildly in the air
as they promised "before Almighty God
to defend the flag and the soil of Greece
from the touch of the enemy; to obey the
commands of the king and his captains in
all things; to die rather than give before
the face of the enemy and to hold them
selves in instant readiness to embark for
the Piraeus when transports should be
provided to carry them to the city of the
king"
Before the oath was given the priest
explained to the excited men the appeal
which King George sent to the Greeks
in America calling upon them to rally to
their countrys aid.
The priest advised his people to arrange
their affairs and be in readiness to go as
soon as final orders should come.
The work of enrolment continued dur
ing the remainder of the afternoon ano
evening all over the city under the direc'
| ton of the five Greek societies, and II

fire of the insurgents, many men being
killed on both sides.
Additional advices from Crete this
morning say that the insurgents have
formed a Gordon around Canea, and that
yesterday evening the insurgents at
tackled the Turkish positions at Malaxa
and Keratidi where they attempted to
destroy the block house with the use
of dynamite. The fighting. however, was
of desultory nature. and this morning
hostilities were reported to be at a stand
still.
At II 80 p. m.-The answer OF Greece to
the Identical notes of the powers was
discussed at the meeting of the cabinet
and approved by King George today. 1t
is understood that the reply is a refusal
to withdraw the Greek fleet and troops
from Crete, on the ground that the re-
call would be a signal for pillage. incen-
diarism and murder.
The complete text Of the answer will
not be known until it is presented to the
ambassadors of the powers tomorrow. In
diplomatic circles it is said that the
Greek answer may lead to negotiations
based upon a proposal for cooperation
which has been presented by France.
1t is stated that in view of the con-
temnlated negative replv of Greece to the
powers. King George has sent orders to
Colonel Vassos. commanding the Greek
forces in Crete to hold all places now
occupied by him. The king is still here,

Washington March 4.-The commissioner of
Indian ahairs has addressed lengthy letter
to II. Z. Young OF Nelson. Stevens county
who requested permission to build bridge
for travellers across Kettle river about 80
miles above Its mouth on the Colvine Indian
reservation. In his letter Commissioner
Browning states that certain citizens Of Or
Vile. in oSanogan county. addressed letter
to the Indian bureau February 20. 1896 asking
for authority to build bridge across the
Okanogan river at or near that town, which
was also on the Indian reservation. At that
time the facts of the laid before
the secretary of the interior. who, In accord
ance with an opinion of the assistant attorney
general for the interior department, decided
that the state had the right to condemn, under
proper procedure for public purposes, lands
embraced In Indian alotments In the state,
and also that the right OF eminent domain
extends to public lands not already appropri-
ated by the United States for Its purposes.
In other words. that the state has the same
right Of eminent domain in lan6s belonging
to the public domain as in lands held in fee
simple by its citizens. and that while
the authorities agree that paramount sover-
elgnty resides in the United states far
as the territory Is concerned yet when a
territory is admitted as an Independent state
In the Union. the general rights to eminent
domain are excluded and vested In the state
government. Under that opinion the dis
claimer of rights. titles. etc. as TO Indian
lands set forth under section OF the act of
February 22, 1889, admitting Washington into

act and the right Of taking property for pub

will be difficult for any trains to reach
Cincinnati over the Big Four until Sun

the Brandywine river and Swamp creek
the tracks are spread for distance of

When the engineer saw the water COW

and the remainder of the train slid down
the bank, but did not topple over. The
passengers were ali safely removed.
