THE GREEKS IN CRETE.



an Active Policy.
Athens, Feb. 19.-In the legislative
chamber Prime Minister Delyannis am
nounced that he had not received au-
thentc news of the departure of Turk
ish troops for Crete. Replying to ques-
tions he said that the government was
seeking to discover the motives of the
powers i'm their recent action i'm Crete.
The government had arrived at GER
tain decisions, but was unable to inn
part any Information as yet. Some of
the members declared that the lower
ing of the flags of the consulates con-
stituted recognition Of Greek occupa-
ton. 1t is reported that the cabinet
council decided to continue an active
policy The government last night
sent instructions to the consul at Canea
declaring that as the four towns which
the powers occupied were not held in
behalf of Turkey they must like the
rest of Crete be regarded as Greek ter
ritory
Owing to the anomalous situation,
the Greek consul at Canea, on the rep
reservations of the foreign admirals
has removed the Greek flag from the
consulate.
Colonel Vassos has issued an order
advising his men to avoid any collision
with the foreign marines, and exhort-
ing the Cretans to treat fairly both
the foreigners and the Moslems. He
promises the latter protection and re-
ligious equality, but will try to per-
suade them to quit the island. Turk
ish soldiers who yield will be disarmed
and sent to Smyrna or other points
In Turkey.

THRILLING RESCUE
OF THE CREW OF THE NoRwE-
CLAN BARK HJEMMEr.
Saved I'm Midocean--The Gallant
work of the First Omccr and Five
Men OF n British steamer-No In
sursncc as Far ms known.

NEWPORT NEWS, VA, December 49,
Special. 1.-THE British steamship Kildona,
Captain Roberts, arrived this morning,
bringing the shipwrecked crew of the
Norwegian bark Hjemmet. which sprang
aleak about two weeks ago. and went
down in mid-Atantic Sunday, December
5th. Captain II. N. Nymann, his mate.
and crew OF eight men are destitute,
having lost all Of their belongings, and
are now In charge Of the Norwegian
Consul.
Captain Roberts tells q thrilling story
Of the rescue of the unfortunate seamen
by Chief Officer d. w. Crockatt and five
Of his men: I'VE sighted the bark at &
o'clock Sunday morning. December 5th."
he said, land at once put about TO rescue
the poor fellows, who would have gone
to eternity IL we had been twelve hours
later. The sea was tempestuous. and q
heavy gale was blowing west-northwest.
1 sent Crockatt off in a life-boat with
five of my best men. and it was fight
for life on their part to reach the ILL
fated bark. Again and again they tried
to run alongside the craft, but each Tina
they were washed back again. Several Of
the men jumped for our boat, and 1t was
only by chance that Crockatt succeeded
In fishing them out. The mate jumped
overheard, and our boatswain caught him
with boat-hook. Slowly the ship was
sinking. and IL was pitiful sight to SEQ
the poor fellows clinging to the shrouds,
afraid to jump and afraid the bark would
carry them down. Crockatt finally got
them all of by IL O'clock, and we re-
sumed our course to Newport News"
Captain Nymann's story OF the rescue
is similar to that Of Captain Roberts. He
stated to your correspondent that the
Hjemmet left Champartan, Yucatan, Oc-
tober oath. bound for Falmouth, Eng, and
carrying 400 tons of logwood.
I'VE sprang aleak." he said, about
two weeks ago, and IL was only by keep
ing the men at the pumps night and day
that we managed TO keep afioat as long
as we did. We were all but exhausted
when we saw that the Kildona had dis
covered our plight, and managed to con-
tInue the work until her brave officer res
cued us. other steamships passed us,
but for unaccountable reasons did not
come 10 our assistance"
The Hiemmet was built in 1863 and
registered at Stavanger, Norway. She
was owned by T. Melting. There was no
insurance on ship or cargo, as far as
Captain Nymann knows.
