RUSSIA TO CHECK CRETANS.
Asks Other Powers to Join in Coercive
Measures.


ST. Petersburg, Feb. 13.-Official as
surances have been given in reply TO
anxious Inquiries that nothing offensive
is signiied by naval preparations in the
Black sea. The Russian government
has issued a note to the other powers
with the object Of inducing them to
bring coercive measures. to bear upon
the Cretans, it being their duty thus to
act as they have taken the power OUT of
Turkeys hands.
This is more to show the Cretans that
in future they must realize they have
to reckon with the powers and that they
cannot play tricks upon them rs they
have been in the habit Of doing with
Turkey, and that they will not be in
future permitted to threaten the peace Of
Europe periodically as has been their
custom in the past. Russia takes the
lead in checking them and asks other
powers to Join her.

WARNING TO GREECE.
Vienna Cabinet Issues Serious
Communication Regard
ing Crete.


Vienna, Feb. 1.-THE Vienna cabinet
has addressed most serious warning to
Greece. 1t is further learned from exclu-
sive sources that the powers have in
formed Turkey that they cannot force
Greece to withdraw her fleet, but will
leave Turkey a free hand.
Anarchy is reigning at Athens The
ministry was only temporarily saved by
embarking in mad enterprise England
is accused secretly of backing Greece to
force Russia's hand. All the evening pa
pers condemn in the strongest terms
Greece's action.
The Neueu Freie Presse warns Greece
that, if provoked, Turkey would be justi-
fled in attacking ThesSaly, with disas-
tr0us consequences to Greece. The same
journal publishes a telegram from Con
stantinople showing that the whole of
the Cretan troubles have been long and
Systematically fomented by a Cretan COM
mittee at Athens, whose leaders are Dep
uty Romanos and DR.. Papsake, which
has sent mum 9rous emissaries to Crete,
honeycombng the island with scdtious
pamphlets.
RerakIion Reported on Fire.
Constantinople, Feb 12.-Island Of Crete
news is growing more serious every day,
and it is understood that several of the
embassies have received dispatches that
Heraklion is on fire.
In official circles here the only solution
Of the Cretan difficulty seems to be a
European occupation of that island 1t
is understood that instructions have been
sent to the commanders of the foreign
warships to prevent by force if neces-
sary any Intervention upon the part Of
the Greek warships.
Greece Must be Restrained.

Athens, Feb. 13.--There is a change for
the better here today. The people are
becoming calmer and the public officials
are betraying anxiety as to the eventual
outcome of the demonstration of Greece
in behalf of the Cretan insurgents.
1t is now known that very strong pres
sure has been brought to bear upon King
George within the past twentyfour
hours and that equally strong pressure
has been exercised upon the Sultan of
Turkey in order to prevent an outbreak
of hostilities between Greece and Tur-
key. The latter country is understood to
have agreed not to send troops to Crete
and the powers in return are believed to
be restraining Greece from actively in
terfering in Crete.
At the same time there is evidently
danger in the direction of Thessaly and
Macedonia, for Greek troops are being
hurriedly dispatched to the frontiers and
reports from Salonica say that the Turks
are quietly mastering an army corps
there in order to be prepared for emer-
gencies.

Desultory Fighting Still Report d.

The situation on the island of Crete
has somewhat improved Desultory
fighting is still reported and it is stated
here that the insurgents are practically
in possession of the whole island. If this
is the case, the union of Crete with
Greece having been formally proclaimed.
the independence of the Cretans from
Turkish rule is almost accomplished,
and it is difficult to see how the pre-exist-
ing order of things can be restored with
out joint action on the part of the pow
ers and a military occupation Of Crete
by the foreign fleets.
In official circles here this outcome is
not believed to be possible and there is a
disposition now to quietly allow events to
take their natural course, the idea being
that Crete is practically free and that
the island is likely to remain so unless
subdued by the powers.
Therefore the question to be discussed,
it is said. is whether the powers will per-
nit the Cretan insurgents to enjoy their
independence and eventually ally them
selves with Greece.
