TO FLEE FROM GREECE
LEGATIONS ADVISING THEIR COUN-
TRYMEN TO LEAVE.
Trains Bringing i'm Thousands OF
Reserves From the Country,
Who Parade the Streets.

London, March Z. "A Times dispatch
from Athens at midnight says some Oh
the members of the foreign legations ana
other foreign residents have already lett
the city, and 1t is reported that several OF
the legations have advised all Foreigners
to leave Greece. This has caused pam
full feeling on the part of the Greek pub
lie, which regards 1t as an unJustlhed
step, as the foreigners have been treated
with all respect and have at no time heen
in any danger whatever. Moreover, 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
vividness 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 dispatch to Admiral Ca
nevaro, commanding the allied fleets a.
! Canea, expressing surprise that the lives
of foreign correspondents should be en-
| dangered by the therats of violence on the
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 o
the flags of the six great powers.
| dispatch to the Times from Canes
says that yesterday Sunday the British
battleship Harf1eur cleared for action, ow
ing to the proposed reinforcement of tn
| Greek fleet in Cretan waters.

Near She1byvilIe. Ind.

Shelbyville, Ind., March 1.-THE Chica-
go express of the Big Four left the track
on account of a Washout three miles and
a half above here this morning. All the
passengers returned to Indianapolis. 1t
will be difficult for any trains to reach
Cincinnati over the Big Four until Sun
day night or Monday morning. Between
the Brandywine river and Swamp creek
the tracks are spread for a distance of
500 feet.
When the engineer saw the water COW
ering the tracks he supposed he could
get through. He found this impossible,
and reversed the engine. The train broke
and one sleeper was left on the safe side
and the remainder of the train slid down
the bank, but did not topple over. The
passengers were all safely removed
