possible to Resist Insurgents.
Cretans r1assing Around kissamo-
Have Mounted Guns to Attack the
Fort, and Inform the Powers That
They Will forcibly Repel Any At
tempt of the Warships to Interfere

CRETANS MASSING AT KISSAMO.
LONDON, April S.-The Times" will
print tomorrow the following dispatch
from it's Canea correspondent:
The Cretans are now massing around
Kissamo. They have mounted four
guns, and intend to attack the fort,
which is held by $50 Turks. Yesterday
they wrote to the Captain of the Aus
trian warship anchored in the bay, de-
claring that as the action of the inter-
national fleet had hitherto been hostile
to them, they would repel forcibly any
attempt of the warship to interfere
with their designs at Kissamo. 1t is
expected, therefore, that the Cretans
will direct their guns upon the war
ships, if the latter open fire.
BLOCKADE OF GREECE.
LONDON, April S.-A dispatch to the
Daily Telegraph from Arta says it is
reported there that the Turks are con-
centrating a large body of troops be-
tween Phillipades and Joannina, and
have seized all the flour mills and grain
stores. All the irregulars have left
Arta and are marching northward in
three bands.
The Rome correspondent of the
Daily News learns that the Powers
will begin the blockade of Greece stimuli
taneously with a new proclamation to
the Cretans. Everything indicates that
Greece is firmly determined to resist.
The Greek Government is negotiating
with the wellknown Polish sportsman
and x-Aide-deCamp of King Hum
bert, Colonel Jaraczewski, to go to
Athens to command the Italian volun-
teers, 800 of whom are already in
Greece. Several hundred more are
about to start for Larissa. Prince Odes-
calcihi is assisting the expeditions.

original subsidy Acts. If no other con-
siderations except the guarantee of
equal facilities over all connection of
the roads We're concerned, the commit
tee holds that this would justify a set
tlement by commission, as those priv
ileges could not be acquired as a re-
suit of the foreclosure of the para
mount first mortgages.
The committee considers that any ac-
QUESTION of the roads by the Govern
ment would be Instantaneous, and
that a foreclosure of the Government
lien can be expected to result only in
the loss of a large part of the debts
of the Government. The appointment
of commission would save the Gov
eminent from being forced to re-
luctantly commence foreclosure pro-
ceedings for want of authority to make
a more advantageous settlement.
The bill, it is explained, deals only
with the subsidy bonds on the Central
Pacific to point five miles west of
ogden, a distance of 1912 miles. and
the Western Pacific from San Jose to
Sacramento, 123 miles, all claims upon
the Union and Kansas Pacific being
now before the courts fer settlement.
The first mortgage bonds on the Cen
trail Pacific are So, SS3, 000 Western
Pacific, $4,000. subsidy bonds; Cen
trail Pacific, So, 1856, 12O; Western Pa
cific, $1,970560 The companies are
said to have fully complied with the
terms of the Acts of 1862 and 1864
and the Thurman Act, but while their
earnings have enabled them to meet
operating expenses and interest on the
first mortgage bonds, they have been
unable to provide for the debt to the
Government The roads themselves
are held to be inadequate security for
the liens upon them, which amount to
100000 a mile

NEW YORK, April S.--A special to-
the Journal from Havana says:
A large insurgent force recently ap-
peared in front of Fort No. II, protect
ing the railway line between Caibraroen
cannon. One of the shells fell in the

The insurgents then dynamited the
railroad bridge, interrupting commune
cation between the cities. They also
attacked Fort No II, forcing it's sur
render and securing arms and ammuni-
ton.

night that the Cuban insurgents had
made an attack ON the train upon
which General Rivera was being taken
from San Cristobal to Havana. Re-
ports say that the insurgents were
successful in their attack and that
General Rivera was freed
1t is impossible tonight to get a con-
firmation or denial of the report, but
Cuban sympathizers here believe it to-
be true, and are accordingly jubilant
HAVANA, April S.-GeneraI Luis
Rivera still remains at San CristobaI
He is recovering from his wounds. In
the event of summary trial it is not

he will be held as a prisoner of war.
WASHINGTON, April S.-Advices
received by the Spanish Minister here
state that General Luis Rivera who is
lying wounded near Havana, is not in
a serious condition and that his wounds
are not likely to prove fatal. Inquiry
as to the status of the prisoner re-
ported to-day in a statement by the
Minister to the effect that at no time
has the Spanish Government or Gen
eral Weyler had any idea Of shooting
Rivera.
WASHINGTON, April S.-The State
Department has been informed that the
health of Owen Melton, one of the Com
petitor prisoners, which had been re-
ported to be very bad, is now much
improved. When he RECEIVERS complete
ly an effort will be made to separate
his case from those of the other pris-

CLARK ROAD BILL.
Creates Much Discussion and COM
ment at Santa Rosa.

SANTA ROSA, April S.-The Clark
road bill, recently approved by Governor
Budd, which takes the control and man.
agement of roads out of the hands of the
Supervisors, is creating much discus
sion and comment here. The Sonoma
County Supervisors recently purchased
a number of road sprinlders, and made
preparations to do systematic road work
They claim that the new law will great
~ disarrange all their plans, retard all
permanent road building, and set the
county back thirty years in progress.
Many think the new law unconstitu-
tional, because it conflicts with the new
County Government Act.
