Wrought Very Serious Havoc Among
the Christians.

LONDON, March 2S.-A dispatch to
the Times" from Canea says that one
of the correspondents of that newspa-
per, who was present during the fight
ing at MalaXa, was captured by the
Cretans and held as a spy. He proba-
bly, would have been shot but for the
opportune arrival of an American jour-

an old Oxford man, who is at the head
of a band of young Cretans whom he
personally equipped. Manos was the
first to enter the blockhouse when the
Turks evacuated it, and he prevailed on
the insurgents to spare the lives of for
ty-three Turkish prisoners.
