In order to execute as early as pos
sible the provisions of the third and
fourth sections of the revenue act
approved July "a, 1897, | appointed the
Hon. John A. Kasson, Of Iowa, n
special commissioner plenipotentiary

BLOCKADE OF CRETE.
The Powers Will Enforce
Their Ultimatum Today.
DECLARED OF PEACEFUL INTENT.
Meanwhile the Grecian Minister of War
Is Making Military Preparations the
Same as If War Had Been Declared.
Turks Increasing Their Forces.

ROME, March 15.-It is officially an.
nounced here that the result of the
pour parlers of the powers is a definite
agreement not to comply to the Greek
note, but to issue orders to the foreign
admirals to establish an immediate
blockade Of Cretan ports, which will
probably be in full operation today.
This agreement is somewhat in the
nature of concession to Russia and
France. Russia, during the middle Of
last week, proposed, with France Sec
onding the proposal, another joint note
to Greece, insisting on the withdrawal
of the troops instead of an immediate
resort by the powers to force. Russa's
action was inspired, it is officially
stated, by certain sympathy for
Greece. but so many objections were
raised by each power in turn to this
suggestion that the other course has
finally been agreed upon.
1t is thought that the simplest way
to carry out the threat made in the
identical note will be the blockading of
the Cretan ports and the landing of
forces sufficient to insure the mainte-
nance of order, leaving further action
as to the fate of Crete to later negotia.
tions. This was the view of Russia at
the outset.
ATHENS, March 15.-Everything re.
mains in statu quo pending the action
of the powers. But the minister of war
is fastening in every possible way the
military preparations. precisely as if
war were already declared. Great I'M
easiness is caused by the strained situa-
tion ON the frontier. Graver advices
are being received from Larissa. A dis
patch states that 10000 troops have
been concentrated near Elassona. The
Turks have formed two irregular bat
talions to guard the Thessalian passes
through which insurgent bands could
enter Macedonia. The Turkish forces
at Epirus have been reinforced.
Among the Greek troops on the
frontier there is an increasing desire to
try conclusions with the Turks. A de-
claration of war is awaited with i'm
patience in military circles at Larissa.
The Greek correspondents who were
expelled from Canea hayS arrived at
SYRIA. They assert that Captain Amor
etti urged them to leave because the
Mussulmans threatened to dynamite
the Greek consulate, where the cores

mans finally firmly believed that the

the storm was at its worst, The crew

little boat to lurch, but no danger was
anticipated.
The steamer was light, having left a
tow Of three barges laden with steel
rails at Bellaire, and was on its way to
take down another tow of the same
character.
Just as the boat was opposite Jacks
Run, lower Allegheny. only few hun
dred feet west of Davis Island dam, q
squall, tiercer than the rest, caught the
Hawk broadside and began fitting her
to the left. There was an immediate
scramble by the crew to get to the
right side of the boat, and none too
soon, as the water in the hold assisted
the wind, which continued to force the
Hawk over until the left gunwale was
under water and the hold filling rapidly.
AS the Hawk was keeling over the
crew, composed of IL men, were on the
right side clutching to whatever was
handy, except Pilot Deevers. He did
not leave the pilothouse and clung to
the wheel probably thinking the boat
might right itself.
While the crew were scrambling over
to the right side. trying to keep above
water, by sudden lurCh George

and fell into the river. A mattress from

| where some men in a rowboat saved

The Tom Dodsworth was tied at
| Risher's lower landing, but the crew,
seeing the danger of the Hawk, imme-
diately lowered their yawls and went
to the rescue By the time the men
from the Dodsworth reached the Hawk

The boat was owned by the Mckinley
