Russia Trying to Force the Greeks Out
of Crete.
BERLIN, GERMANY, Feb. 27-The news
agency dispatch from st. Petersburg pub
lished in the London and Continental
newspapers yesterday purporting to de-
scribe Russia's attitude on the Cretan
question and asserting that the Russian
Government had demanded Greece to re-
"call her troops within three DAYS, is on
good authority, though its publication
has been belated. A similar proposal is
sued by the st. Petersburg Government
reached the Foreign Office of Germany
and other powers early IN the week and it
@ is now said upon unquestioned authority
that it met with remonstrances from Eng
land, France and Italy, but was assented
to by Germany and Austria.
This proposal OF Russian diplomacy and
the real importance of the communica-
ton lies in the fact that Russia is de-
termined upon policy Of speedy and de-
cisive coercion of Greece by force of arms
and that the northern empire is ready to
apply such measures with or without the
eo-operation of the other powers. The act
bal state of the case is that Russia agreed
to delay action for three days only upon
fthe strength of representations from the
British and French Governments that
time ought to be accorded to the Greek
Govern ment in which to consider its posi-
ton. The impetuous initiative taken by
Russia has certainly accelerated the pow
ers which are now turning mainly toward
q procedure of coercion.

ATHENS, GREECE, Feb. 27.-The feeling
among the people of Greece is almost
unanimous in favor OF enforcing the
. Cretan policy without regard to conse-
quences. They are enthusiastically in
favor of war if that should prove necessary
The Government authorities announce
emphaticalIy that despite the action of
the powers there will be no withdrawal
from Crete.
The news that Turkey is hurrying men
and war supplies to the frontier, instead
of alarming the Greeks, has merely whet-
ted their appetites.
More of the reserves have been called
out and Crown Prince Constantine will
soon 90 to the frontier. Thousands of
volunteers have offered their services and
everywhere there is the greatest enthusi-
asm.
CANEA, CRETE, Feb. 27.-The Greek

board the captured vessel.

BUDA PESTH, HUNGARY, Feb 81
The Government was questioned to- day
in the Kepvistohaz, or House of Repre-
sentatives, by Herr Kossuth, son of the
Hungarian patriot, regarding the attitude
OF Austria Hungary on the Cretan ques-
ton. Herr Kossuth also desired to be in
formed as to whether in the event of
Greece refusing to accede to the demands
of the powers Austria Hungary would
adopt forcible means to compel her.
In reply to the Interpolation, Baron
Banffy, the Prime Minister. stated that
there was absolutely no foundation for
any fear that the empire would become
involved in war on account of Crete. He
declared that the only object of the
powers in in ntervening was to preserve the
peace of Europe, which was threatened by
Greece. The efforts of the powers were
solely directed 10 the restoration of order
in Crete. In conclusion, Baron Banffy
made the important statement that the
powers were unanimous in their deter
mlnation to permit Greece to annex Crete,
and force would be used, if necessary, to
compel Greece to comply with the de-
mand made upon her.

There is general favorable expectation
now as to the result of the agitation orig
mated by THE CALL for the early beginning
of the work on the new Postofice build

No sooner did THE CALL set the PROPOSE
tion on foot than it was received with
much favor. The Endorsement did not
come from any one class, but from all
classes. Merchants, manufacturers, ship
ping men, lawyers, public oficiaIs-Fed-
eral, State and municipal = the labor
unions, the unemployed and the builders
and contractors.
The organized body of the latter class,
the Builders Exchange, has come to the
front in manner that leaves no doubt as
to its using all the power and influence it
possesses to secure for San Francisco the
new Federal building.
The president of the Builders Exchange,

from Athens have caused the conviction
that the fleets of the powers must make
their appearance in the Pir@Cs before the
King of the Hellenes will yield to the
will of the concerted Governments and
that his submission Will certainly be ac-
companied by the resignation of the
Greek Cabinet and probably by the abdi-
cation of the Greek monarch.
semi official article in the Pesther
Lloyd conveys the idea that the Austro-
Hungarian Government though now fol-
lowing the lead of Russia ana Germany, is
very much averse to Russa's style of initi-
ative as affirming her right to be regarded
as the paramount power in the Balkans.
In official circles in Germany, however,
Russia's haste in the matter is attributed
to the movements which have been made
by Servia and Bulgaria toward an offen-
sive alliance against Turkey.
King Alexander of Servia will start
from Belgrade to Sofia tomorrow to con-
fer with Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria
upon the situation and according to dis
patch published in the Frankfort Gazette
the Cove rnments of Bulgaria and Servia
have demanded from the Porte an explain
alton OF the massing of the Turkish troops
on the frontier of those States.
The recall of NJ. Rangabe, the Greek
Minister to Germany. is imminent. Not
only is his own Government dissatisfied
with the way in which he had conducted
the negotiations entrusted to him, but he
has offended the Kaiser by his imprudent
expressions in newspaper interviews in
which he has strongly criticized the per-
sonal interference of the Emperor between
the German Ministers and the diplomatic
representatives of foreign powers re-
called, and it will be surprising indeed if
he is not.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Feb. 2s.-A special
to the Herald from Havana, CUBA, via Key
West, says:
While the State Department has not
backed up Consul General Lee unreserv-
edlv, the administration has at last taken
a firm stand on one question. and that is
the length of time an American citizen
can be held incommunicado in Spanish
prison.
Upon this question Secretary Olney
fairly placed himself on record shoulder
to shoulder with General Lee. He has
authorized General Lee to demand the re-
lease of each and every American who
may be arrested and kept Incommunicado
for more than seyenty-two hours. He has
informed the Madrid Government of the
clear and well-defned attitude our Gov
ernment has assumed on this question.
Only few weeks ago General Weyler
informed General Lee, both verbally and
in writing, that the Spanish Government
had and proposed to exercise the right of
keeping Americans in prison and incom-

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 27.-The
Daughters of the American Revolution
began their last days work with but
slight attendance. The election of State
regents was announced.
A resolution to employ an expert book
keeper to assist the treasursr brought on
spirited discussion as TO the necessity
for such an office. Mrs. Stevenson favored
it. Mrs. Draper, the retiring treasurer,
opposed the proposition and said there
had not been a paid officer in the two
years of her ncumbency. Mrs. Bracket
vice-president, said that whenever extra
help was needed it had always been fur
nished. The resolution was then adopted.
Revision of the constitution and reports
OF the regents took up the rest of the day.
The congress adjourned sine die to-
night, with good deal of unfinished busI-
ness, which will be taken care of by the

LONDON, ENG, Feb. 27.-The proposals
for the settlement of the Cretan troubles
are widely commented upon by the news
papers throughout the country. The con-
servative oIgans as rule find in them a
general solution OF the difficulty, but
there is a divergence of opinion on the
part of the liberal organs.
The Manchester Guardian. speaking in
behalf of the Liberals, SAYS it has no OBJ
lection to the scheme for granting au-
tonomy to the island, but 1t strongly
objects to the Greek troops being COM
PEELED to withdraw before the Turks.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, leader OF
the Liberal party, and the Earl of Kim
berley, the leader of the Liberals in the
House of Lords, have deciJed 10 follow
this line when the debate on the Cretan
question takes place at the beginning of
next week.
The more advanced Liberals back Greece
in the attitude she has assumed. The
Right Hon. Arthur Dixie Acland, who
was a mem Der of the last Liberal Cabinet,
delivered a speech at Northampton last
night. in which he referred TO the Creten
I4ouOle. NIedt OIltaln, ne SdlCli COulo not
redeem the past, but one step had been
taken which would redeem to some extent
the fair fame of Europe. The hour and
glory of this step belonged to Greece.
Complaint is made that Great Britain's
action is due to the sordid interests of
British holders of Turkish and Greek
bonds, and il is said the country is para
iyzed by the pawnbroking proclivities of
the bondholders.
dispatch received from Athens last
night said the powers had not yet sue
ceeded in arriving at an agreement as to
the nature of the coercive methods to be
applied against Greece in the event of her
refusing to listen 10 the mandate of the
concert, nor as to the date for the applica-
ton of the measures when they shall be
agreed upon.

THE STRUGGLE IN CRETE

The latest news from Crete indicates
momentous condition of affairs.
Greece has been notified by the powers
TO recall her fotilla The Greek minis
ter. Delyannis, asked for time, and
then declared the purpose OF Greece to
occupy Crete and join the island to the
Hellenic kingdom. Thereupon il is re-
ported that Germany will instruct the
commander Of the German worship
Kaiserin Augusta to join the associated
fleets off the Cretan coast and prevent
any hostile action toward Turkey on
the part of Greece. II may be, in this
drama about TO be presented, that
Greece is repeating the role Of Carl
baldi preceding the consolidation OF
Italy into one united kingdom. Carl
baldi could not wait until diplomacy
did it's work. He proposed to solve
the problem with the sword. For the
time being he was unsuccessful, but he
lived to see Victor EmRnuel the king
Of all Italy.
The solution OF the Turkish question
is not dissimilar TO the Italian. Italy
did not come under one national gov,
ernment until the Franco Prussian
war and the downfall Of Napoleon It's
population was turbulent and insur.
reetions we're frequent, prenionitory
symptoms of the end. In Turkey we
hnd the same condition; Its people are
dissatisfied and rebellious, impatient
to throw off hated foreign yoke,
Crete is in revolt aud Macedonia is on
the brink of il. If Greece persists, Tur
key must take notice of il. War will
follow. Insurrections OF the Greeks in
the provinces will be the sequence
The principalities will seek an alliance
with King George, and ere we know Il
we may see the old Greek empire ris
ing from its tomb, with the sultan de
throned and the Greeks under sover
eign Of their own choosing from th,
mouths Of the Danube 10 the isle Of tn,
archipelago.
