LONDON, March 31.-It is semi
officially announced here this evening
that the Powers have arrived at the
conclusion that the situation in Crete

foreign ironclads, replied with shells.

LONDON, March 31.-A dispatcb
from the correspondent of the "DaiIv

insurgents armed to the teeth are wait

A week from to-day Is the anniversary
of the Greeks independence. 1t is diff

unauthorized action.

hill on the south side of Suda Bay last
evening They were promptly shelled
by the British, Austrian and Russian
warships At daybreak to-day the fir
ing was resumed, and the Cretans were
driven from their positions. AS soon
as the firing ceased they made another
attempt to recover the ground, and the
warships promptly resumed the firing,
which was very heavy for several
hours. During the cannonade three
Turks were killed and five wounded.
The Russian Consul at Retimo re-
ports that when he communicated to
the Cretans at Sipohulos the procla-
nation of the Admirals inviting them
to lay down their arms the Cretans re-
piled that the only boon they would ac-
cept from the Powers was political
union with Greece.
ATHENS, March 31-Colonel Vas
SOS, commander of the Greek forces in
Crete, has photographed the following
message to King George:
Contrary to their promises, the Ad-
mirals have permitted bands Of armed
Mussulmans at Candiamo to pillage
and burn houses outside the town,
while every act of defense on the part
of the Christians provokes lombard
ment by the foreign warships. The
Admirals send their Governments false
dispatches, declaring that 1 am guilty
of cruelties; that l have maSSacred the
prisoners taken at Malaxa, and that
despite my solemn declaration to the
contrary, l intend to attack Canea.
shall address to the Admirals an ener-
getic protest.
CANEA, March 31-6 p. m.-Colonel
Vassos, in pursuance of promise he
made in his heliograph message to King
George of Greece, has sent strongly
Worded protest to the Admirals. He
charges the representatives of the Pow
ers of violating the pledge that the
Mussulmans released at Candiamo and

CORBETT AND FITZSIMMONS.
Both Draw Packed Houses at Salt
Lake.

SALT LAKE, March 31.-James j..
Corbett tonight carried out his ex-
pressed intention of beginning a series
of exhibitions in opposition to those of
the new champion heavyweight pugi-
list, Robert Fitzsimmons. Each, how
ever, received his share of attention,
both theaters being packed to their ut
most.
After his performance Corbett was
called before the curtain and made a
short speech, reiterating his statement
that he was defeated fairly and square
ly, but expressed himself as confident
that he could defeat the champion of
champions should another opportunity
be given him.
