Brlgandage and y Reign Of Terror Likely
to Begin.
CANEA, Crete, May 22.-The situa-
ton here is most serious. There is re-
vival Of excitement both among the
Mussulmans and Christians in conse-
quence Of the departure of the Greeks.
Some Bashi Bazouks fired upon Ad-
miral Harris, the British commander,
making his fourth escape since he has
been in these waters. Later in the day
five shots were fired ut the French ad-.
miral, while walking in Suda with his
chief Of staff.
Shots were also fired at British sig
mailer outside Of Canea, and three insur-
gents attacked aud disarmed British
lieutenant near Suda. Owing to this
case the British admiral sent all ultima
tum to the insurgents, demanding the
return of the leutenant's arms within
4S hours, or action would be taken. The
ultimatum expires today. The British
cruiser Cambria has been recalled to
Suda bay to be prepared for eventunli-
ties. Brigandage is also appearing
among the insurgents. Two Mussulman
children were kidnapped, and one of
them was sent back with demand for q
ransom, failing which the head Of the
child would be returned.

that with due economy the .hospi-

a deficiency until the expenses per

doubtless expend more money than
is available, and it. can also DO
with less than it has expended in
the past. That is, they can DO SO
if the same methods are employed
