REBELS TAKE MALAXA.
The European Warships Shell Them.
the Fire Lasting Ten Minutes.
The Insurgents, However, Held Their
Ground-They Are Now in a Position
to Blockade Canea From the Land
Side Malaxa Being Destroyed.

CANEA, March 26.-The fighting in
the vicinity of Malaxa continued
throughout Thursday. 1t was espe-
cially desperate at o'clock Thursday
afternoon in the village of Tsicalaria,
where the insurgents set fire to a num-
Der of Turkish houses
The insurgents are now occupying
Malaxa. The European warships
shelled them Thursday afternoon, the
firing lasting ten minutes. The insur-
gents, however, held their ground
close to the ruins of the block house
from which they drove the Turkish
garrison Wednesday night and did not
seem to greatly mind the lombard
ment.
When the Turkish troops evacuated
the block house, they set fire to it in
order that it might not furnish a
shelter to their enemies. 1t had been
however, badly wrecked by the fire of
the rebels.
1t is evident that the Turkish troops
here are no match for the insurgents.
A body of troops made an attempt
Thursday to gain the heights above
Nerok-Ouru, where the Keratidi block
house is situated. With this position
and the one at Malaxa in their posses
sion the insurgents would be able to
completely blockade Canea from the
land side.
The troops had gone only a little
distance when they were attacked by
insurgents, who drove them back.
Later, another attempt was made to
reach the heights, but this, too, proved
unsuccessful.
body of insurgents made an at
tack upon the Turkish Gordon at Hal
epa. The Turks had a number of
mountain guns, and the fire from them
prevented the insurgents from coming
to close quarters. 1t was this alone
which saved the Moslems from defeat.
Montevardia and Halepa are both
within range of the guns of the in
surgents who continue to shell both
places.
Thursday evening part of Malaxa
was blown up with dynamite and the
rest of the town is burning. The
Turkish warships in Suda Bay are
bombarding the insurgents but their
fire appears to be wholly ineffective.
MalaXa is one of the towns men,
toned by the foreign admirals in their
proclamation issued on Tuesday, that
must not be attacked by Greek troops
or insurgents. The admirals declared
that the Notifications which were
needed to maintain security and
quiet" must not be fired upon, other
wise they would use force against the
attackers. 1t was. the disobedience of
the insurgents to this proclamation
that led the foreign warships to boni-
bard them. These Iessels fred ninety
shells, three Of which fell within the
forts.

LONDON, March 29.-The Graphic
Monday gives prominence to a state
ment which it claims to have received
from an unquestionable source, to the
effect that the Greek situation is ex-
tremely grave. 1t says that with the
departure of Crown Prince Constantine
from Athens to take command of the
troops in Thessaly, the die seems to
have been cast. Warwould have been
inevitable if Greece recalled her army.
1t would march to Athens
and dethrone the king. The most SER

doubted fact, deipite denials. that the
concert OF, the powers is no longer
solid. There has not been an actual
rupture but the members have come.
to the conclusion that concerted action
is a failure. If the so-called concert
ontinues for week it can not con-
tinue longer.
The statement ascribes the position
to the Impotence of the powers with
Greece's reckless conduct and Great
Britain's reluctance to coerce her.
The powers will not accept Lord Sails
bury's proposal for the establishment
of neutral zone mile wide on either
side of the Turko-Grecian bound

strategic positions on the frontier,
and fears that if she withdraws her.

boarded the steamer Heraktion, which
was lying at the Pir@us, and overawed

They then proceeded to jettison the
entire cargo of the steamer, which
consisted of -four for the Turkish
troops at Canea, $4,000 eggs for the
Russian feet, and quantities of provis-
ions for The English fleet in Cretan
waters.
There was remarkable display of
enthusiasm when Crown Prince Con-

prevent their capture by the insur-
gents who, were they to obtain posses

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 27.-The
river Friday night stands SO 55,
slight decline for the "a hours. Re-
ports from southern river points Fri
day evening are not altogether reas-
surfing. The situation at Helena is
pronounced ticklish, and at Greenville
decidedly precarious, the levees
at these points showing signs
Of succumbing to the water pressure.
Large forces are employed upon them
day and night, state convicts being at
Greenville in force. Gov. McLaurin
also went there Friday evening in re-
Spouse to a telegram. But there was
small break in the Arkansas district
Friday night, but it is viewed with no
particular concern
number of other Mississippi points
report the levees somewhat critical,
with water crowded over them in
places, while in others they are slough
ing off. Helena reiterated Friday
night the charge that Desha levees
had been cut, parties declaring that
they saw the levee board engineer do
the cutting The main witness against
the alleged levee cutting engineer says
he protested, but without avail, and
stood on the levee and saw his cribs
and contents, some of his live stock,
fowls and household effects swept
away by the water thus let through
the levees.
JACKSON, Miss March GA special
from Greenville says that the river
was seven inches higher during "a
hours ending at noon Friday and more
is coming. The town of Greenville,
between which and the river there is a
protection levee, is now six feet below
the level of the water. but the natives
have confidence in their ability to hold
the fort. A letter from Greenwood
says:
The levees seem strong, but the
water is within nine inches of the top
and rising A break would mean the
destruction of millions of dollars
worth of property in the great delta,
where crops of cotton and corn have
already been pitched"
SAVANNAH. Ga, March GA dis
patch from Valdosta, Ga, says the ra-

the rate OF two feet an hour and near
ly twenty feet during the night 1t

are working night and day to make

AUSTIN, Tex, March 29.-Sunday
afternoon at o'clock this city and the

blown down, entailing loss of some

quite number of houses in the resi-

blown down, and in several cases
narrow escapes from death are re-

The new and unoccupied residence
of Mr.. Burt Mcdonald, one of the
prominent residents, was blown down,
striking against the residence of Mr..
William Vining, knocking in one side
of the building and narrowly escaping

in the room playing. In addition
to doing much damage to
the state university the wind
blew off the entire roof Of
the adjoining dormitory, letting the
rain drive full into the four-story
building, doing inestimable damage to
the building and property of the 200
students therein, many of whom fed
for their lives when the roof was
