Admiral Caneyaro insisting that his

Maj. Dor. the British officer who was

The Gordon OF Turkish troops drawn
around Akrotiri was attacked by the
insurgents. Severe fighting occurred.
The fighting between the insurgents
aid the Turks commenced at two
o'clock Tuesday morning and continued
all along the line. IL ceased at noon,
the insurgents changing their position
owing to their fears that they would
again be bombarded by the foreign war
ships.
The situation at Akrotiri is similar
TO the condition of affairs which pre-
vailed there two weeks ago, but the
war ships are very unwilling to FIRE
upon the Christians. Each side accuses
the other of beginning the combat. The
truth seems TO be that the insurgents
began TO advance upon the town aud
the Turks began fire upon them.

London, March iO.-The general
impression in competent quarters is
that the powers will not accept the pro-
posals OF Greece and that they will
carry out their threat OF coercing
Greece II necessary. II is believed. how
ever, that the Greek reply is only in
NcUueu 10 hOilcn the SHOCK OF sure n
der 10 the excited Hellenes. and that
after brief pretense of opposition the
government of Greece will discover the
futility OF opposing the will of united
Europe, always supposing that Europe
is united in this matter. and that the
compliance of Greece will follow.
II is stated in official circles that the
renewal OF fighting between the insur-
gents and the Turks in the island OF
Crete will compel the powers to imme-
diately take measures TO eNpel the
Greeks from that island and to land
foreign troops there. IT is learned in
official quarters that there is not the
slightest chance that the powers will
tolerate the presence of Greek troops in
Canea. AS soon as the powers have
had time 10 exchange views on the sub
iect Greece will be notified of the meas
ures which have been decided upon for
the immediate enforcement Of their de-
cision. The negotiations will not last
long for il is known that Germany and

Not only were all the window fronts
broken in the neighborhood, but from
jewelers. window. precious stones,
said TO be worth $4,000, were scat
tered about the street. The founda-
tions OF the Hotel Pelham are said TO
have been shaken badly, while every
window display in the neighborhood
was injured more or less. II is utterly
impossible to estimate the loss in that
direction. The immediate cause OF the
explosion is, OF course, uncertain, but
the most generally accepted theory Is
that IL was started by spark from the
electric motor OF the Mount Auburn
car igniting the gas which escaped
from the old main that runs along the
south side OF Boylston street.
