Speculation As to What the Powers
VIII Do.
Berlin, February 13.-Ths policy of
Germany in regard to Crete, according
to direct authority from the foreign
office, is in strict adherence to the course
agreed upon by the concert of the Powers
recently esta ablished In respect to Turkey
and it is further announced, upon the
same authority, that Germany psrticu-
larly stands by the side of Austria and
Will support Austria's lead in the present
crisis. This official declaration, made
concurrently with the declaration of
Baron Banffy, the Hungarian premier,
in the Hungarian Chamber of Deputies
today dhat there was no foundation for
the w lrt that the Austro- Hungarian
army was being modified. which be-
came known here late this afternoon,
may have the effect to partially allay the
existing war alarms, but only psrtir}ly,
as the advices received from many qssar-
ters point out that war is Inevitable.
Both Greece and Turkey are hurrying
forward troops to the frontiers Of Tbes-
sally with the utmost despatch and every.
thing in the Vicinity of the Thessalonian
borders bears warlike aspect. German
military officers who have served in the
Turkish army ngree chat Turkey could
overwhslm Greece By land in very
short time. Some idea of the military
activity of Turkey may be gathered from

WHAT THEY SAY IN LONDON.
The Monday Morning Journals on 'he
Cretan Troubles.


sCretan Troubles.
London, February 15.-The London
papers this morning concur in the
opinion that Greco Turkish war is I'M
minent. The Liberal organs 1mpiore
the government not to impede the aotloh
of Greece in any way. The more mooeraee
journals urge the Powers to occupy Creeo
and decids the ultimate destiny OF the
island when ma tiers shall have become
more quiet. The Standard declares that
the Powers must paoify Crete, since they
have decided to restrain Greece ana
Turkey. The Times published a dispatcn
from Canea saying that George BeroVlscn
Pasha, the Christian governor OF Crete,
took refuge on the flagship OF the husslan
admiral and the entire force of the Mon
tenegrin gendarmie hitherto employed
in guarding the governors residence was
transferred to the Russian warships. 1t
is believed the Georgi Berovich Pasha
left the post without permission.
The Russian and French admirals, the
despatch says, have received Identical
instructions, but the nature of their or
ders is not known. The diplomats at
Constantinople have accepted Great
Britain's proposal for joint naval oecu-
patton Of Canea, Retimo and Harakiicn,
removal from Cretan waters Of the Greek
feet and the forbiddance of the despatch
to Crete of Turkish reinforcements.
It is though probable that the orders Of
the French and Russian admirals are in
accordance with this programme. The
refugees who sought shelter Mt the Greek
consulate have been placed under the
protection of the British consul. The
Greek consul at Heraklion embarked up
ON one of the warships aftsr requesting
the British consul to protect the Greek
SUBJECTS there. The closing of the Greek
consulate indicates definite rupture be-
tween Greece and Turkey.

Man-of- War.
Athens, February 14.-Advices have
been received giving the details OF the
detention at Gambia Of a Turkish vessel
by a Greek warship. The vessel which
was stopped and compelled to return to
her anchorage was the Turkish transport
Fuad, bound for Oanea with munitions
for the besieged garrison at that pace.
AS the Fuad moved from anchorage
and started to leave the harbor, the
Greek warship fred two shots across the
Euad's bows and the transport, icing
unarmed, put about and returned to Ter
moorings. 1t is reported that the COM
mander of the British fieet protested
against the action of. the Greeks and or
dered the vessels of that nation to make
no further attacks upon the Turks.

Canea, Crete, February 14.-Prince

fiotilla, after receiving visits from tho
commanders of the foreign warships, re-
turned to Milo. 1t is reported that the
Beys of Canea have requested the COM
mandars of the foreign ships here to land
men from the vessels to occupy the city.
The intense excitement which has pre-
vailed here recently has not at all abated.
Greece Orders Out Reserves.
Athens, February 1.-THE army re-
serves of 1898 and 1894 have been called
out and ordered to hold themselves in
readiness to join the colors at forty eight
hours notice. A number OF detachments
Of infantry. artillery and engineers have
EN- barked at Piraeus for yrete. Their
departure Ia attended with great enthu.
siasm.
It is understood that the order of the
troops are to protect the Christian
families in Crete and restore order. This
is looked upon as tantsmount to an ocou.
patton of the island. Greece has notified
the Powers that she will willingly hold
herself answera BILE for the steps she has
taken.
Col Vossos, chief aide-de-camp to
King George, commanded the troops,
who nun bered fifteen hundred. AS the
men marched aboard the vessel which
was to convey them to Crete, large
crowds of people cheerod them again and
again. The troops who ara already
styled the "Corps of Occupation,
reached Milo today. A regiment OF
artillery has been ordered to start at once
for the Thessalian frontier. This reai-
ment will be accompanied by Prince

SOME FANCY DRESS COSTUMES.
Some SeaSOnabIe Hints
Regarding
Occasions.

r VERYWHERE the question is be-
r ing asked, What are you going to
wear to the fancy dress cotillon?"
Some have decided and are extremely
uncommuncative, but many are as
yet in a state of anxious uncertainty.
Every one desires an original design.
These, however, are not as plentiful as
one could wish. The Call presents
some up to date ideas For example,
very recently one of New York's bellies
appeared gowned in a frock of white
fleur de lis, outlined in silver. This
conception was carried out perfectly
the chiffon skirt being covered with
the flowers and the bodice shaped like
one. Nevertheless, far less expensive
and very lovely would it be to have
the skirt simply run with silver
threads, but retain the idea of the
bodice, If possible, as the latest way
of having the neck cut is to have it
high in the center and tapering off at
the sides-a becoming mode. The
sleeves of several Of the latest elab-
crate Partisan gowns are without
sleeves, only a strap passing over
each shoulder. Three silver feurs de
lis, the middle one being the tallest,
should be arranged in crescent shape
for the hair. The lilies must also be
carried.
The foundation of the dress can be
either white silk or white satin. Either
a blonde or a brunette can wear it
with perfect satisfaction, excepting in
a few cases where the coloring is un-
usual. 1t was designed originally for
a blonde.
Worth has just completed Turkish
costume, which is declared to be most
beautiful when worn by a dark eyed

SUDDEN DEATH
OF PHILIP A. MONDT
Found Dead Of Heart Disease
in His Room at the Las
PalnnaS.
A Man of Sterling Worth and Gentle
Manner Who Leaves Many
Friends.

News of the death of Philip A.
Mondt will be received with surprise
and sorrow by his many friends this
morning. When last seen by them he
presented every appearance of health,
for the inroads of an insidious disease
made no mark on his features and it's
dire results were only realized when
the dead body of it's victim was found
lying on the floor of his room last
AT noon yesterday Mrs. Miller, the
landlady of the Las Palmas, where Mr..
Mondt roomed, at 1920 Market street,
knocked at the door of his room, but
evening.
got no response. Again at in the
evening she knocked at the door, and,
receiving no response, feared some
thing was wrong and asked her hus-
band to enter the room through the
window. Mr.. Miller effected an en-
trance and found the dead body of
Mondt lying where it had fallen from
the chair in which he had been sitting.
The Coroner was telephoned for and
the body removed to the MOrgue, but
DR.. w. w. Kerr. who has been treating
Mr. Mondt for valvular disease of the
heart, telephoned to the Coroner, who
released the body, and it was sent to
Halstead's undertaking rooms to be
prepared for burial.
Mr.. Mondt was a man of wide ac-
quaintance and was generally liked by
all who knew him. He was a member
of many German societies and his fell
low members will keenly feel his loss
He was a kindly man, beloved by his
friends, of whom he had hosts, even
though of a retiring disposition. His
innate goodness of heart and gentle
ness of manner endeared him TO all
with whom he came in contact, while
his honesty and sterling worth COM
bined with his ability in business mat
ters gave him high standing in his
profession. 1t was his restless en-
ergy and determination to put his very
life into his work for his employers
that brought about the malady that
was the immediate cause of his death.
Years ago he occupied a prominent
position in the German Savings and
Loan Society, but his close attention
to his duties so impaired his health
that he was compelled to resign and
he then accepted the position of head
bookkeeper of the Hawaiian CONNER
cial and Sugar Company His strict
attention to the business of the COM
pany was of such benefit that he was
promoted to the position of book
keeper of the California Sugar Refin-
cry, where he remained until death
closed his accounts and rendered his
last balance-sheet. He was in the en-
ploy of Mr. Spreckels for about twelve
years and was a trusted and valued
emplOye during the entire time.

only substitute for sleeves; from it falls
some jeweled beads over the arms.
On the left shoulder is caught
a long gauze scarf which has embroi-
dered ends. The skirt has a very short
train. A turban-like arrangement
should be worn on the hair and on it
should stand erect rather long pea
cock feathers. Two or three long
chains should encircle the throat and
fall on the dress besides half a dozen
bracelets on each arm are none too
many.
The great object is to find some un-
hackneyed character. and this model
certainly falls in with the feeling of the
hour for rich embroideries, and the
jeweled and tinseled garnitures of to-
day could be adapted to it with con-
siderable advantage.

member that powder was not intro
duced into England until the reign of
James l. During the Georgian period
it attained the height of it's popularity.
High-heeled shoes were unknown until
the reign of Elizabeth.
Gloves were never heard of until the
tenth century and not much worn ex-
