THE BRITISH IN CRETE
Soldiers Of the Queen Formally
Landed in Canea.
PROCLAMATION OF THE BLOCKADE

No Vessel Shall Land Stores Except at
Ports Occupied by the Powors-The
Rules Especially Severe on Greeks and
Crock Vessels.
London, March ga dispatch to The
Daily Chronicle from Canea says the
transport ship Clyde, with the British
contingent Of occupying troops, has ar
rived and landed the troops today. The
proclamation of the blockade consists
of several articles.
The first provides that no neutral
vessel nor any vessel belonging to one
OF the six powers shall be allowed to
land stores except at ports occupied
by the powers. The second provides
that no armed person and no person
of Greek nationality. armed or un-
armed, shall be allowed to land without
the authority of the senior naval Off
Ger on the station. The remaining arti-
cles fix the blockade limits, and state
the conditions under which vessels are
to be searched. BY the terms of the
sixth article Greek ships found within
the blockade limits will be treated as
hostile vessels. BY the seventh any
Greek torpedo boats observed within
the limits of the blockade will be fired
upon as soon as they come within
range of the international fleet.
Ihe proclamation makes no allusion
to exports but as two British ships
which have been loading at Canea
have been forbidden to leave the pre-
sumption is that they. also are debarred
by the conditions of the blockade. The
shippers controlling these vessels have
lodged formal protest against the
prohibition as unjust and arbitrary.

British Dislike Senate Amendments.

London, March 24.-The Times, in a
leading editorial, gives expression to
anything but q satisfied state of feeling
as to the senatorial amendments of the
treaty of arbitration. 1t says: 1.-THE
United States senate has destroyed
the arbitration treaty. The first
amendment accepted is alone sufficient
to render the treaty unworkable and
utterly worthless. The senate has
done more than to wreck an instru-
ment carefully forged by representa-
tives Of the two nations. 1t has struck
a blow at the principle of arbitration
itself, and at the confidence of the
world in the American people,"

third time since his arrest in the west
on charge of obtaining $4,000 from
the First National bank of Newport
under false pretenses. the case against
John Corwine. paymaster at the naval
training station here, was called yes

again continued by request of counsel,
this time until April 6. Friends of
Corwine are doing what they can to
make good the amount the bank
claims to have lost. SO that the charge
may be nolle pressed. If this Is done
Corwine will beslrrested at once by the
naval officials for alleged embezzle-
ment of about $4,000. In the mean

be tried, but will be discharged from
the United States navy.
