Belief Prevalent That It Is Sc.
riously Endangered by Af-
fairs in Crete.
Proclamation of the Cretan Com
mittee Received With Re-
joicing in Greece.
The Whole Greek Fleet Ordered
at Once to the Scene of
Trouble.

LONDON, Feb. 10.-Private and OH.
cial advices and private letters from
English officers show that the troubles
in the island Of Crete are undoubtedly
caused by Greek agitators, and that
the Christians are undoubtedly the
aggressors. The Greek government,
believing that the end Of the Ottoman
empire is near, thinks the time oppor-
tune to carry out the long cherished
desire to annex the island of Crete.
Public officials here and on the con-
tinent regard the situation as serious
and as threatening the peace Of the
whole Of Europe.
In the event of . collision between
Turkey and Greece, it is doubtful
whether the entente Of the powers
could be maintained. The papers
everywhere urge the powers to bring
pressure to bear upon Greece in order
to prevent her further aggravation of
Turkey.
It is announced that the Turkish
warships and transport have left
Constantinople for the island of Crete,
and that in spite of the advices of his
mIulSCcIS ouu VI SAc aLuOtaoeauoIs, eAo
sultan favors the dispatch of troops
and repressing the trouble by force.
A dispatch to The Times from Canea
says: The immediate cause of the out
break was the news of the troubles at
Heraklion. Before dawn one half Of
the Mohammedans had left the
town, and great numbers fired upon
Galata and other villages. The Chris
tians descended from the mountains
in strong forces and during the next
two days there were incessant conflicts
around Canea. in which the Christians
appeared to have had the advantage.
The efforts Of the consuls and bishop to
pacify them failed, and the Mohamme.
dams, whose anger had been aroused to
the utmost found themselves unable to
continue their expedition into the coun-
try. The excitement among the Chris
tians of Canea increased, but the first
fighting in the town was on Thursday,
which commenced with desultory shots
and in a few moments became general
and incessant. The shooting continued
until dark. Among the victims were
Turkish soldiers, but the troops never
theless, under great provocation, be.
hayed excellently.-

Greek Cruiser Sails.

ATHENS, Feb. 10.-The Greek cruiser
Hiaculis has started for Rotimo, where
the Mussulmans have occupied the
Christian quarters, and are pillaging
the stores and houses. Three thousand
Turkish troops have been concentrated
at Salonica in readiness to embark for
the island of Crete, but the Steam Nav
igation company refuses to convey
them to their destination until the
money for their passage is paid.

ment to succor the prosecuted Chris
tians. The representatives of some of
the powers have expressed to the Greek
government surprise at the fact that
warships have been sent to the island
Of Crete and that open demonstrations
in favor of Greece and Crete are tol.
Grated throughout the kingdom. The
report that the Christians are forming
q provisional government on the island
is not given much credence in this city
as the latest news from Canea indicates
that the Christians are fighting unde,
the flag Of Greece all along the line.

AN OCCASION FOR REVENGE.

uow tho Greeks Look Upon the Present
Trouble In Crete.
ATHENS, Feb. lO.-According to the
latest reports from Canea the situation
on the island of Crete is critical, to say
the least. In Canea it is said the Chris
tians have hoisted the Greek flag and
invited the commander of the Greek
fleet to train his guns on the city in the
name of the king of Greece. 1t is also
stated that the Greek squadron, on
arriving at Canea, did not salute the
Turkish flag. If these rumors are true
the whole island is probably in turmoil
of war, and the foreign fleets may have
taken action to prevent further disor-
ders. The proclamation issued by the
Cretan committee in this city calling
upon all freemen for assistance, was
received with great enthusiasm, and
many responses have been made in the
shane of financial donations and offers
of physical service if necessary. Cries
of sLong live the Union" and "Long
live Crete are heard ON the streets in
all parts of the city. Nor are the DEM
onstrations in favor of union with
Crete confined to this city.
An Occasion for Revenge.
Reports from cities and towns in all
parts of the kingdom indicate that the
people are aroused and determined to
make the present trouble Oh the island
of Crete an occasion for revenging
themselves on their old enemies, the
Turks, by gaining control Of Crete.
The island belongs to Turkey, but has
numerous Grecian population. Its
history is one of bloodshed since the
Turks wrested it from the Venetians in
1869. The progressive spirit of the
Greeks makes them desirous of throw
ing off the Turkish yoke. Fighting
between the fanatic Mussulmans and
Christians has been going on for some
time, and only last year Turkey was
forced by the concert Of the powers te
institute reforms, which. however, seem
to have been Of little benefit. III

planning MILL ROBBERY,
Geoge II. Yibbetts, an Engineer, Lose
His Gold Coin, Watch and
Chain.

George K. Tibbetts. engineer at Thomp.
sons planning mill. Mission and Fremont
streets, was robbed Of $50 in gold and his
gold watch and chain yesterday morning.
He went to the mill to make some re-
pairs to the boiler, being assisted by
Ernest Luckhardt and John Laneon,
mechanics. Before commencing work he
put his coat and vest in a locker in a
small room off the engine room, and in
his vest were Ten $5 gold pieces, So in sill
yer and gold watch and chain.
After working for a short time he had
occasion to go 10 the locker, and on ex-
amining the pockets of his vest he missed
the $50 in gold and his watch and chain
No one was in the building except lib
belts, Luckhardt ana Laneon, and L b.
belts suspicious fell upon Lackhardt. He
accused him of the theft and Luckhardt
stoutly denied it. Then Tibbstts notified
the police, and Policeman Mcdowell was
sent to investigate. He brought the trio
to the police station, and Luckhardt and
Laneon were searched. but nothing was
found upon them.
Detective Ryan was called in and he
went back to the mill with the three men.
He made a careful search for the money
and watch, thinking they might have
been secreted somewhere, but ne could
not find them.
1t was suggested to Tibbetts that some
outsider might have sneaked into the
mill and committed the theft, but he
persisted in putting the blame upon
Luckhardt and said that he would swear
out warrant for his arrest this morning.
