Paris, Feb. 23.-An official dispatch
received here yesterday from Admiral
POTTER, the commander of the French
squadron off Canea, island of Crete,
states that the admirals have informed
their respective governments that
anarchy continues to increase in Crete,
and that they cannot any longer be
answerable for the avoidance of con-
ficts unless they are authorized to pre-
vent the landing of all provisions and
the powers obtain the recall of the
Greek troops and warships. The ad-
miral adds that during Sunday, in spite
of the repeated protests of the COM
nanders of the foreign fleets. the insur-
gent outposts continued to advance and
engaged in fusillade with the Turkish
outposts before Canea. After consulta-
ton the British. Austrian, German and
Russian ships opened fire, and only
ceased when the Greek flag was low
cred.
Canea, Island of Crete, Feb. 23.-No
insurgents were killed by the cannonade
of the warships on the insurgent posi-
ton near here Sunday. The damage
done was purely material. The French
and Italian warships did not ope., fire,
because the Greek flag was lowered by
the insurgents before their turn came.
The English. Italian and Russian con-
suls have returned from Selinos accom-
panied by 40 MussulEan fugitives.
They were unable to hold conferences
with the chiefs of the belligerents. who
are conducting a war of determination.
Both sides have mutually massacred
prisoners.
Two thousand civilians and go Turk
| ish soldiers are resisting the advance
Of the insurgents with three cannon.
Their position is extremely critical. The
consuls proceeded to Canado on board
ship. The Christians there, although ad-
vised of their arrival, fired on the con-
| suls in spite of the white flag of truce
| which they carried. The consuls re-
| turned to Selinos where the Christians
\ occupied fresh positions. Here, also. the
consuls were fired upon the shots fall
| ing all around the ship. The insur-
| gents have rehoisted their flag at Ha-
| lepa. but they have not fired on the
! Turks. who have planted a flag 1,5O0
yards from the insurgent position.
