Believed the Ultimate Transfer

Sanctioned.
Inhabitants of Canea Greatly
Rejoiced at Occupation by
the Marines.

ATHENS. Feb. 17.-It is generally be-
lieved that the Cretan feature of the
Eastern question is now almost thing
of the past, and that the landing OF
Greek troops on the island Crete is not
likely to turn out causus belli between
Turkey and Greece.
The absolute decision of Greece to
persist in the occupation of Crete and
the protection of the Christians of that
island in spite of the attitude of the
powers, is founded on the declaration
of the Cretans that they are prepared
to shed the last drop of their blood in
order to attain their national aspira-
tions, which, they add, cannot be
satisfied with anything short of COM
plete union with Greece.
Carried Out the Programme.
These circumstances were commune
Gated by Greece to the powers and the
policy of the Greek government has
been carried out in every point An
order of the minister of war, M. Smo-
lenitz, has been gazetted appointing
Colonel Vasos aide de camp of King
George, commander of the Greek army
corps, landed at Platonios, a short dis
tance from Canea.
After explaining that the action of
Greece is due to the fact that she is un-
able to tolerate any longer the ''la-
mentable situation OF the Christians in
Crete to whom we are united by the
sacred ties of religion y the order pro-
ceeds:
''The government, consequently, has
decided to occupy the island i'll the
name of King George, and raise his
flag over the fortresses, of which you
will take possession.
ssAll your actions shall be accom-.
plished in conformity with the Greek
laws, in the name of King George, and
on the responsibility of his government.
$50 soon as you have landed, you
will publish a proclamation ANNOUNCE
ing the occupation Of the island by the
Greek troops"
Issued the Proclamation.
This has been DONE Colonel Vassos,
after landing at Platonica, Issued a
proclamation to the Cretan people an
nouncing the occupation of the island
in the name of King George of Greece
and calling upon the Turks to surren-
der to the Greek forces. The reservists,
who have been called to the colors, are
rapidly registering at the different mil
itary centers. It is hoped, however,
that the most serious difficulty to be
anticipated is possible severance of
diplomatic relations between Greece
and Turkey. The annexation of Crete
by Greece, a result foreshadowed in
these dispatches at the commencement
of the disturbances. is now q fat
accomp1i, and it is not thought likely
that the powers will do anything
further in the matter than they have
