Canea, Feb. 2S.-The presence of for
eign warships off this port has not had
the effect of preventing fighting between
the insurgents and Turks, save in the
town itself, where a comparatively small
force of sailors and marines were re-

where the Turkish garrison has been
blockaded for number of days. The
Moslems made sortie, bus the insur-
gents were prepared for just such move.
and attacked the party furiOusly, finally
driving them back. During the fighting
a heavy fire was directed upon the
Christians from the Turkish arsenal in
Canea. 1t had, however, very little ef
feet, and the Christians still maintain
fight.
Further fighting has occurred in the
vicinity of Heraklion. AS heretofore. the
insurgents under Korkuras repulsed the
Turks. A Turkish warship in Suda bay
today began the bombarument of a posi-
tion occupied by insurgents. but before
she had done much firing, her COM

must silence his guns or take the conse-
quences. This is the second time that the
insurgents near Suda bay have been fired
on by a Turkish warship.
The Greek. Korahas. who, at the head
OF 1900 insurgents, has invested the town
of Heraklon. has given permission to
the Turks to leave the place. in order that
they may cultivate the lands adjacent
to the town. His action, however. is
looked upon with suspicion by many
Moslems, they believing that it is his in
tention to benefit from the labors of
Turks by selling their crops when they
are ripe. On the other hand those who
are acquainted with the character of
Korakas declare that he is a just and
humane man and that his only object in
permitting the Turks to till the field is to
prevent suffering from famine among the
women and children in the town.

The Kneehs Trouble.

Berlin. Feb. 2S.-Sporting circles are
still deeply concerned in the question.
what is to be done with the mare Nell
lie Kneebes, alias Bethel, which was
confiscated by the Prussian state after
the arrest of Bob Kneebs, the Ameri-
can trotting horse owner, on charges
of ringing" and was condemned to be
sold "a cover the expenses of Kneeb's
prosecution. A protest has now been
lodged bv Kneebs son-in-law against
the enforced sale of the mare by auc-
tion. his plea being that he is the real
owner OF Bethel, and that the mare
must be given up to him if the court
holds that it is really Bethel which
the authorities have in their possession.
The question will be fought out in
the Berlin civil court. In the mean
time, Kneebs is confined in the Ploet-
zensee prison, and it is generally hoped
that he will be one of the number who
will be benefited by the amnesty which
will be granted to certain prisoners
upon the occasion of the centenary
of Emperor William /, on March %.

STARVATION THREATENED.
a State of Affairs Worse Than War
Probable.

Canea. Feb. 2S.-A new danger
threatens this unfortunate island, and
if it is to be averted a speedy settle
ment of the present difficulties must
be arrived at. Every day the situa-
ton is becoming more desperate, owing
to the fact that throughout the island
the state of war prevents any atten-
ton being paid to the crops. The towns
which are beseiged by the insurgents
are in a much worse condition than
those in the country districts.
In Heraklion alone, where there has
been a very large influx of refugees,
the outlook is very serious. There is
now in town, counting the regular
Moslem population and the refugees,
fully $4,000 persons. Provisions are
very scarce and a famine is imminent.
The regular numbers of the refugees
are already dying of starvation, and
1t was the knowledge of this fact that
led Korahas, the Greek leader. to issue
his order to permit the cultivation of
fields near the town. The lines of the
besiegers are absolutely impossible, as
has been proved by the failure of sew
eral sOrties that have been made. The
officials in the town have telegraphed
to Canea imploring the assistance of
foreign warships in raising the siege,
but it is not considered likely that
their supplication will receive a favor
able response. though provisions may
be sent TO the starving. Korahas has
not yet cut off the water supply of the
town, which he threaten a few days
ago to do. Should he carry this threat
into effect the condition of the be-
sieged people would be pitiable indeed.
Kerahas with a part of his forces is
advancing upon Hierapetra. He will.
pass through the turbulent district of
Lasithi, and the populace there is GER
tain TO join him. 1t is pretty certain
that the garrison at Hierapetra will
have to capitufyte when the insur-
gents reach there, unless the foreign
warships help the Turks.
On March the armistice of week
agreed to between the Moslems and
Christians at Seline will expire. The

at Malaxa resulted in the killing of

BUT LITTLE GLORY.
Cleveland's Forestry Proclamation is
Mercilessly Criticized by the Sen
atorS.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-The senate to-
night, on the discussion of the amend
ment to the sundry civil bill, restoring
to the public domain some 1000. .00O
acres as a forest reservation, Mr.. Clark
who offered the amendment, said that
the order was issued on the recommen-
datiOn of a class of scientists. who
think more of forest trees than of
roof trees and more of the life of a
tree than the life of a man. The order
meant that settlers on the reservation
could not cut a stick of firewOod, and
that the gold mines on one of the reser-
vations in South Dakota would have
to close down for lack of timber. He
was aware that the insertion of this
amendment in the bill would probably
lead to its veto but he. for ope, was
ready to meet the president on this
ground.
This order would mean the retard-
ing of the development in the west and
the subject was of most vital interest
to the land laws of the west than the
senators of the east had any conception
of.
Mr.. Carter of Montana. who was
commissioner of the general office dur
ing General Harrison's administration,
supported the amendment. AS an eA-
ample of the injury wrought by the or
Il.
Anaconda mine near Butte. Mont,
which requires a carload of timber
every day to prop up the levels and
galleries of the mine and protect the
lives of the miners, and the land from
" hich all this timber was cut must
ccme, in part at least, from one of the
forest reservations. Another case liz
point was that of the old and the IA
nous Homestead mine in South Da-
kota. No one who was interested in
this matter had been consulted prior
to the PRONUNCIATION of this order, and
he believed that the president would
not hesitate to rescind the order when
he thoroughly understood the true con-
dition.
Mr.. Cannon, (Rep. Utah), also sup
ported the amendment, and declared
that not one of the IA senators from
these western states affected had been
consulted before the order was issued.
Mr.. Lindsay. (Dem. Ky), inquired
whether the adoption of an amend
ment excepting domestic and mining
timber from the operation of the order
would be satisfactory.
Mr.. Cannon said he would prefer to
have the order stand as it is rather
than have this order temporiZed.
The amendment was supported by
Senators Stewart, ISL. New, Petit
grew, (Sil- S. d., Wilson. (Rep.
Wash.), Dubois. (Sil. Ida), and Man
tie, (Rep. Mont), the latter asserting
that in his state there were thousands
and thousands of acres included in this
order on which there was not a stick
of timber.
The amendment was then unanimous
ly adopted.

Brigham City. Feb. 2S.-A volcano is
the latest sensation
It seems our earthquakes have come
to a head
Word comes from Promontory that a
volcano has burst forth out in the
Great Salt Lake. some distance Gouth-
west OF Promontorv station, on the
Central Pacific railway.
Several well known men from CO.
,rinne say they have seen the vol
cano.
1t is said to be out in the lake about
a mile and quarter from shore; that
a stream of smoke rushes up into the
air so high that it may be seen at a
great distance; that the water in the
immediate vicinity boils surges and =
churned about in a frightful manner.
The location of this reported phe-
nomenon is in the big arm of the lake
which is on the western side of the
long range of Little Mountains" that
are distinctly seen looking vest from
Brigham City.
If all this be true, it accounts for all
those earthquake shocks that have been
shaking up this region for the past
six months. The fire, smoke and. per-
haps, lava. agitated in the subter-
ranean depths having now found a
surface outlet. may put a quietus on
these frequent shocks.
More credence is given to these re-
ports from the fact that the people who
claim to have seen the ugly newcomer
say it has been in sight several days.
On a clear day they thought the smoke
might be seen from Brigham.

Granite. Utah. Feb. 27-Mr. John
Herwood of this place has Just come
down from Alta and gives some inter-
eStlnS news from that part For IS
days his party has not seen the sun:
Mr. Herwood is working for Mr.. Agott,
who has leased the Silver King This
property is situated near Grizzly Flat.
There is more snow in Little Cotton
wood canyon at the present time than
has been known for some years. In
some places the wind has drifted the
snow into great banks, and in many
places huge slides have come down
from the mountains above, CARRYING
everything before them.
At Superior gulch two slides have
recently broken loose and swept down
the rocks and everything that was
loose and landed the snow and rubbish
in the canyon below in a mighty bulk
that viii require warmer suns than
now break through the flushing clouds
to remove.
In several places along the canyon
these slides have occurred. At the
Coal Pit gulch a slide came down the
other day that brought with it large
quantities of wood that its weight and
force had broken from the hillsides,
and in some cases large trees came
down, many of which were broken up
fit for stove wood.
AT Alta the snow is now is feet on
the fiat where the town once stood. It
is thought the regular. or mean, depth
is near u feet at the head of the can
yon.
So far no lives have been lost from
slides as far as heard, but there are
doubts felt for the safety of Sven
johnson, who when last heard from
was at the tunnel near the Prince Of
Wales. That was some weeks ago and
the day ne was last seen by Alta peo-
pie there was an immense slide came
down upon the summit mentioned.
At the present writing there are only
about ten men in and around Alta
From present outlookS the mining
news is somewhat more than usually
hopeful, as quite number of new finds
are reported in different places in the
canyon.
Mr.. Evans. foreman of the Dipper,
tells me his property is looking extra
good His company has recently pur-
chased the old Harker crushing mill
at the mouth of the canyon here, and
they intend to put on several more
men in the mine, and as the property
develops they intend starting up a
boarding house, using the old rock
Harker dwelling for that purpose
Several other good finds are being
looked after and as the spring opens
lively times here
just now, mostly from what the doctor
calls Ia grippe. Some few deaths, all
children. have come to our doors,
which have saddened our hearts some
what. Still we have much to be thank
full for.

KAIsER'S ACTION.
It is Said to be in Line With His
Whole Eastern Policy.

Berlin, Feb 2s-Whatever may be
thought and said outside of Germany as
Greece -Cretan imbroglio. the dominant.
if not the unanimous opinion in Germany
is that it has been consistent with his
whole eastern policy and inspired by
desire to maintain peace. The home pa
oe-s which insinuate and the foreign pa

fairs have been any element in infiuenc
in@ the kaiser. choose TO ignore facts.
TIE world. There is no feud or il-will
row existing between the kaiser and his
sister. the Duchess of Sparta, wife of the
Greek heir apparent The uncOncealed
d-sfavor with which he treated her con-
version from the Lutheran to the Greek
church is a matter of past history The
empress mother was the medium of
early reconciliation, and the harmony of
affection between the kaiser and his
favorite sister has long since been
restored. That the kaiser sought, first of
all. the support of Russia, for his pro-
posal TO blockade the ~Piraeus, should dis
pose OF the report that family considera-
tons weighed largely with the cZar. The
kaiser can be expected to know how far
the fact that King George. as brother of
the dowager cZarina. would affect Rus
sian policy. This history of our own time
affords an Illustration. When Prussia, in
1866 despoiled the Grand Duke of Hesse-
DarmstaGt. brother of the then cZarina
the Car Alexander II, declined TO inter
fere privately or through diplomacy. and
VIXEN Prussia annexed Holstein-G Gottorp,
long associated with the Russian
dynasty. nothing was said from st.
Petersburg. That the dowager czarina
has personally interferred on behalf of
King George is beyond all probability.
The telegram of announcement and
sympathy from her to the king which has
gone the rounds of the European press,
was a fabrication and events since have
proved that car and kaiser alike are
guided by motives in which family rela-
tions play no important part. The actual
truth so far as the kaiser has taken any
lead upon the Cretan difficulty is that
at all hazards. to propose the break
up of Turkey and. to stop Greece
from entering upon a war which. unless
accompanied by general confiagration
in the Balkan peninsula might involve
the devastation of Greece and the over
throw of King George.
