ATHENS, Feb. 19The first definite news
of a Greek victory in Crete has been re-
ceived. and the widest enthusiasm followed
the receipt of the intelligence. The Greeks,
1t is said. attacked and captured fort Aghia.
taking 400 Musselmans prisoners. Amongthe
number were 100 Turkish troops the remain
der of the prisoners being Moslems who had
taken refuge in the fort. The people are in
a frenzy of excitement and demand the
Cretan question be settled now for all time,
1t is popularity thought that when the powers
find the annexation Of the island an accom-
plished fact they will acquiesce in this spoil
iation of the Turks.
The Cretan Christians are wild with de-
light over the manner in which Greece has
come to their rescue. When the Greek troops
landed on the island they were received with
the greatest enthusiasm, men, women and
children hailing them as deliverers from
their bondage to the Turks. The temper OF
the people is such that they would scarcely
hesitate to undertake the foolhardy task OF
defying the combined powers in their effort
to secure their liberty.
