days to the formal gazetting of Grown
Prince Constantine as commander in
chief of the Greek army in Thessaly, it
will be published tomorrow. 1t is under
stood that the crown prince will not wait
for the actual appearance of his commits
sion in print, but will start for the iron
tier at 3 O'Clock tomorrow morning. The
hour is fixed so early that any unneces-
sary demonstration by the populace may
be avoided.
The departure Of the crown prince,
with the full approval of the king and
cabinet to take supreme command OF the
army, can have but one meaning. The
Greek government is determined not to
accept the terms offered by the powers
for a peaceful settlement of the Cretan
difficulties. His appearance with the
troops is expected to have the most ex-
citing effect upon them.
Already an agitation has been begun
for a return of the cars donation for
the benefit of the Cretan refugees. More
than this, the people demand that the
clergy shall cease to pray for the car.
Thousands of signatures are appended
to protest by Cretans against the block
ade, which protest runs in part as fol-
lows:
I'VE, Cretans sojourning in Greece,
protest before God and man against the
inhuman course which the great poten-
tates of the earth seek to impose upon
our fellow counfrymen, whose only crime
is that they are seeking for freedom, as
those potentates have themselves former

lated to prolong the disorders in Crete.
Mr.. Curzon added that the sanction I'M
der which the admirals were thus acting
was that of the powers.
Mr.. II. ID. Davies, conservative. asked
if the United States had consented TO
have their ships searched in Cretan
waters.
Speaker Gully declined to allow The
question without notice.
Replying to n question as to the possi-
BILE Withdrawal of the Turkish troops
from Crete, Mr.. Curzon said that the
British ambassador at Constantinople,
Sir Phillip Currie, had been instructed to
lose no opportunity of asking the with
drawal of Turkish troops from Crete,
(which, however," Mr.. Curzon said,

on pole cars The rivers and creeks are

month. Another witness testified that
it had been recently fired. Mr.. Dunn

saw in this connection. Other witnesses
