ATHENS, Greece, March 12.-With
the abatement of the war fever, there
is.a growing belief that an amicable
agreement between Turkey and Greece,
with regard to Crete, is possible.
VIENNA, Austria, March i2.--Ad-
mirals commanding the European
squadron in Cretan waters. have sug-
gested to their governments the ad-
visibility of each power contributing
1000 soldiers, to be employed in oc-
cupying the towns in Crete for the
purpose OF preserving order.
CoNsTANTINopLE, Turkey. March 12.
General belief here is that the nego-
tiations between the powers over the
reply of Greece to their demands, will
be protracted; meanwhile, renewal
of the outbreaks in Asia Minor is i'm
minent. Sir Phillip Currie, British
ambassador, called the porte's attsn-
tion to the periIous state of affairs ex-
1sting, with view to averting the
atrocities which are threatened. The
Christians in Anatolia are in a deplor-
able condition and will consequently
be subjected to outrage. 1t 10 feared
that massacre will occur at Payas,
where the situation is extremely
critical.

From the Denver News.
In the death Of Lafayette Head, Col.
orado and New Mexico have lost one
OF their most picturesque pioneer char.
acters. Born in Ohio in 1926, be was
but twenty-one years of age when he
followed the trail Of Kea-neY's and
Doniphan's column, and located at
Taos, N. NJ; In 1846. He was always
prominent in the affairs of that Terri
tory, then just transferred from the
rule of Mexico to that OF the United
States. In 1854 he located at Conejos
in the San Luis valley, which mas ever
since been his home. There was NO
Colorado in those days, the San Luis
valley being then a portion of New
Mexico, and his settlement there ante
dating by five years thencomIng of the
Colorado pioneers, and BY seven years
the creation of the Territory Of Colo
RADIO with it's present boundaries. As a.
resident of Colorado, he preceded the
pioneers. He was here to welcome
them when they came. In the politics
of the new Territory he was always
active, aud in recognition Of his SER
vices he was elected ihs Grsl lieutenant
governor Of the state.
Governor Heads career in the noun
tain region covers something over half
I. century. In that time he has seen
he country grow to its present ad-
vanced civilization. He was the friend
aud companion Of Kit Carson, of the
elder Bents, of Governor Gilpin,of Dick
Wootton, OF Maxwell, and OF many
,lhers whose names are famous In
frontier history. He was man Of
high principles and official integrity
ind he leavss behind him name to be-
respected and honored.
Governor Head was one OF the most
genial and hospitable Of men. Upon
bis splendid ranch in San Luis valley
be lived like one OF the ancient patri-
archs. He bad cordial welcome for
friends and strangers alike, and the
poor found 10 him always considerate
and substantial benefactor. The
v;.inges which he saw going on about
him never changed the character OF the
man. He was brave, generous, up
right, kindly man, who delighted in
good deeds and whose life illustrates
all Of the nobIest characteristics OF the
American pioneer.

Word reached here, yesterday, thai
Lock WamsIey, the pathfinder between
this place and the county seat Of Taos,
bad discovered large cave near bis
celebrated medical springs at tho toll
gate. But the interesting part Of the
story is that this cave is inhabited by o
strange person who can be called
nothing less than Cliff dweller. The
existence Of the cave has been known
for many years, but none thought to
make thorough exploration until last
week when Theodore Foreman was
employed to blast q way in front of 1t

Suddenly, one shot broke downward
into new chamber thet rivals any
thing in eave history. Immense stall
actites and stalagmites adorn the floor,
walls ard ceiling, as pure 'as glass;
Egyptian vessels filed with relics of
pest and forgotten ages3 rude imple-
ments OF both peace and war.
The discovery is too new but for
meager details but enough IS learned to
know that an old man with snow white
hair lives in some Of the inner chambers
and is beginning to make warlike
threats at all intruders.
How to make peace with him and
gain an entrance to the secret inner
which to the public is the
holy Of holies, Is now the question.
There is no doubt but thu 10 Is a strict
