KHANIA, Crete March 7.-Colonel Vas
SOS has transferred his headquarters tc
Sphakia, the most mountainous and mac
cessible position in the island. This is held
to indicate that Greece is firmly resolved
not to recall her troops, step which is re-
garded as impossible in the face of the
strong national feeling. Colonel Vassos
will strongly fortify his new camp. which
is viotualed for several months. He is
now able to await the progress of events.
The Russian consul has received formal
instructions to proclaim autonomy for
Crete, but the other consuls still remain
without them. The admirals consider that
this step has been taken too late. After a

to Re taken in face of tho coercive pro-
grnmme Of Europe, and it is reported that
decision was reached to take active
measures as being the only solution posi-.
bic for Greece
Tho center Of interest is now transferred
from Crete to the Macedonian frontier. 1t
isovident from tho haste which the GOV
ernmont has displayed IN getting all its
available troops Off by the sea before the
commencement Of the blockade that thero
is a strong conviction they will be needed
at once.
With the sea route closed the transporta-
tion of troops must be overland, and this
would be an exceedingly slow and diff
cult process, owing to tho lack of horses
and the very incomplete railway system in
the northern portions of Greece. Many Of
rived at Volo, Larissa and other frontier
points.
The Greek officers on the frontier find
the utmost difficulty in restraining their
men. and the departure Of the Crown
Prince Constantine for the frontier has
been deferred on the advice of the generals
in command, who fear that his presence
would have dangerously exciting inGu-
ence upon the troops.
Since the publication in the semioflicial
press of the exposition of Count Mura-
Vieff's Cretan policy, which appeared at tho
moment when it was most calculated to
intincnce the French government, the feel
ing Of the public press of Greece has been
one OF fiercest resentment toward Russia.
The Greek royal family is also seriously
disappointed by the attitude of Russia,
and Franco is believed to have sacrificed
her Cretan sympathies upon the altar of
the Franco- Russian entente.
