Details of she Horror Of Warfare on the

LONDON, ENG, Feb. 21.-The Daily
News correspondent at Canea telegraphs a
detailed account OF the fighting at and
the abandonment of Fort Voukolis, which
the Christians subsequently, blew up with
dynamite. The Moslems lost fifty killed
in the fighting. After the main BODY of
Greek troops had returned to PIatania
from Voukolis news arrived that 500 Turks
aud 500 Bashi- Bazouks were attempting
to advance from Canea, and that thev

200 Cretans.

The Turks, when they learned of the ap

one officer was severely wounded. The

dexteriiy, and during the fight they gave
vent to savage yeIls. AT first they fought
desperately, but as the French over
whelmed them they fell back on all sides
and soon were routed. 1t was each one for
himself, and the natives scattered as they
ran, yelling and fighting, each trying to be
the first in the general retreat. They had
good reason to run, for the pursuing sail
ors and marines slaughtered all the strag-
glers they could overtake, and the line of
the rebels flight was strewn with their
dead.

The populace demand that no attention be
paid 10 the warnings and demands of the
powers, but that Greece maintain her po-
sition in the face OF Europe. A vast crowd
gathered this afternoon in front of the
palace and repeatedly cheered the King
and the royal princes, whose actions meet
with the fullest appreciation. The crowd
finally became so demonstrative that the
King appeared upon one of the balconies
of the palace and addressed the people.
He and the Government, lie declared,
were fulfilling the mandate of the entire
Hellenic people in gong to the aid of the
struggling Cretans and IN seeking to re-
gain possession of the island. He added
that he prayed that God would strengthen
their efforts. His Majesty concluded his
address by thanking the people for the
whole hearted support they had given
him.
The crowd became wild with delight
over the words of King George and the
applause was deafening when he con-
cluded. Then after crying again and
| again, Long live Greece" the crowd
gradually dispersed.
ROME, italy, Feb. 21.-The popular
agitation in Italy in favor of the nnion of
Greece and Crete is increasing daily and il
makes the position of the Government
difficult. Thirty mem bers of the Cham
Der of Deputies have telegraphed con-
gratulations to Athens upon the decided
stand taken by Greece.
There were important popular manifes-
tations in several towns to- day in favor of
Greece. An enthusiastic meeting was
held in Rome which declared in favor of
raising a volunteer corps to assist the
Greeks in their attempt 10 free Crete of
Turkish misrule.
After the meeting there was maLifes-
tation in front of the Greek legation, the
crowd cheering King George and the
Greek people.
CONSTANTINOPLE, TURKEY, Feb. 2l.-
The Cretan troubles led TO a serious fight
here to-day between number of Greek
and Turkish porters. Knives were freely
used. and some of the com batants were
wounded All those who took part in the
fight were arrested.

passed since the Society Islands were
civilized and Papeete became its capital
the natives have been in constant rebel
lion. If trouble has not been brewing on
one island there has been an insurrection
on another, and the French warships
have been kept constantly on the move.
According TO the officers of the brig
Galilee, now in this port, the present out
break has been the result of oreconcerted
movement. The natives have been groan-
ing under the taxation put upon them by
the Government and many of them have
asserted that they will sooner die than
surrender.

The prisoner remained as if mute for ali

faint voice. So weak that the attorney gen

Europe seems to be over the dilatory tactics
Of the concert with regardto Crete. The
sultan has addressed a note to the powers
urging them to end the situation, agree
upon and install a governor Tor the island
and quit their current foolishness.
Probably the coercing nloaarchs and mag
mates will accept the suggestion, as it / s
high time they should. Thrice within a
week or 50 the BIRTHS h admiral at Crete has

also, is losing interest and declines to
send any more troops. Nobody appears to
feel much concern except the Christian
Cretsns, who now occupy the whole island

guns Of the powers. These people, indeed,

In advance of more explicit intelligence
perhaps it may be as well TO say as little

to hear on Spanish authority alone that Gen.
Rivera had started from San Cristobal for

rescued, we should not thereupon feel
justified in expecting ever to hear Of him
again as alive and in the field with his
comrades.

THE SURVIVAL OF The FATTEST.

Twas on the shores that round our coast
From Maine To Frisco span,
That found alone on piece of stone
An elderly naval man.
His mien was reedy, his cheek was huge,
And reedy and huge was he.
And heard this wight on the shore recite,
In singular sa w-niill key:
..Oh. I'm the cook and the captain bold,
And the mate OF the Congress brig,
And the bo sun tight, aud the nIidshiprLiGe.
And the crew OF the captains gig
Twas in the good ship Congress
That we sailed the Republican sea,
And there on a reef we came TO grief,
Which has often occurredto me.
And pretty nigh ali OF the~crew was

And delicate dish he made;

And we argued it out as sich.

And he shifted at the foaming froth;
When 1 ups with his heels and smothers

In the SCUM of the boiling broth.
