highest pitch yesterday by call upon ali the
Crecan reserves in the United States 20 make every

Greece TO the acting Greek Minister here. ordering
him Immediately to inform the members OF the
reserve. OF whom there are about 5000 in the United
States that Greece needed their aid. This message
has convinced the Greeks that the Cretan trouble

Turks are driven from the little island in the
Mediterranean and the Ottoman Empire is crushed.

A CRUISER AFTER THE LAURADA.

Boston March 6.-There is much speculation re-
garding the destination OF the United States cruiser
MONTGOMERY which left Mobile, Ala, on Thursday
evening under sealed orders from the Secretary Of
the Navy. The opinion prevails that she has gone
to intercept the steamer Laurada, which Is sup
posed to have taken flibustering expedition from
off Barnegat
The Laurada left Baltimore on February 25 for
Philadelphia. and passed out from Hampton Roads
on the following day. since which time she has not
been reported, although a steamer answering her
description was off Barnegat taking cargo
from lighter and a schooner
The Montgomery. being the nearest available
warship to Cuba was undoubtedly dispatched to
look out for the Laurada and also TO watch FOR
the Bermuda, which is thought to be on another
expedition in the interest OF the Cuban insurgents
The Montgomery Is quite swift, and the hlibusters
will find II quite difficult 70 evade her

The tenor OF the reply of Greece the demands of

PREPARATIONS WHICH FAILED.
Washington March 6-Presdent McKnley's
first official proclamation was issued this af-
ternoon, with the attestation Of the new Secre-
tary OF State John Sherman. 1t reads as fol-
lows:
By the President Of the United States Of
America.
A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, Public interests require that the
Congress of the United States should be con-
vened In extra session at II o'clock on the fif-
teenth day Of March. 1897, to receive such com
muncations as may be made by the Executive:
Now. therefore, !, William Mckinley, Presi-
dent OF the United States of America do hereby
proclaim and declare that an extraordinary oc-
cason requires the Congress OF the United
States to convene In extra session at the Capitol
in the City Of Washington on the fifteenth day
Of March. 1897. at - o'clock noon. Of which
all persons who shall at that time be entitled
to act as members thereof are hereby required
to take notice.
Given under my hand and the seal OF the
United States al Washington the sixth day of
March In the year of Lord one thousand
eight hundred and nnety-seven and or the
independence of the United States the one hum
dred and twenty-frst.
WILLIAM M'KINLEY.
BY the President
John Sherman. Secretary Of State.
The limiting clause restricting the action OF
the extra session ito such communications as
may be made by the Executive" suggests that
possibly the President may limit the OBJECTS
OF the extra session to the passage of the APP
propriation bills which failed and the enact
ment of n tariff law. the object OF which will
be. in the words OF Mr. McKinley's inaugural
Address. "to stop deficiencies by the restoration
of that protective legislation which has always
been the frmest prop OF the Treasury"
Mr. Cleveland, when he called extra ses-
for tln Of thn hAr
chase law. practically limited the session to that
one object.
