NEWS FROM CRETE
United States Government Must
Now Act.
DOES BLOCKADE VIOLATE LAW
American Commerce Will
be Permitted.
British Premier Denies that the
Powers are Acting as
SuItan'S Agents.

! LONDON, March 22.-Official notice
of the blockade of Crete was not sent
to the United States Embassy until to-
day. 1t was accompanied by request
from the Foreign Office that it be COM
municated by the Charge d'Affaires to
the Government at Washington, and
made public for the information of cit
liens of the United States.
The necessity will therefore be forced
on the Mckinley administration either
to tacitly acknowledge the validity of
of the blockade by complying with the
request of the British Government, or
to distinctly refuse to recognize the
blockade, and give reasons under in
ternational law for the refusal.
The only information thus far re-
ceived in London regarding the atti-
tude of the Washington Government
is a dispatch to the Standard affirming
that the President will strictly adhere,
with regard to Crete, to the safe neu-
trail policy pursued by his predecessor
toward Spain in Cuba
Crete is, of course radically different
from Cuba. The action of the powers
in blockading Turkish territory in a
time of peace can. only be legalized by
their assuming the character of agents
of the Turkish Government, with the
consent of the Sultan. Such, in fact,
they are, but Salisbury has emphatical-
Iy denied it every time the point has
been raised against him by his critics.
1t would have a tremendous effect on
British public opinion if the United
States, in response to his notice of the
blockade, should ask the obvious ques-
tion whether he was acting as the
agent of the Sultan.
The British Premier then would be
compelled to assume publicly role
which is rightly regarded as odious by
British public opinion, or acknowledge
the blockade to be an outrageous vio-
lation of the law of nations.

LONDON, Eng, March 22.-In the

Secretary of the Foreign Office, stated

Consul at Canea, had reported to the

annexation to Greece would satisfy
