The Christians had been advised of

thought their carrying of the white

The Greeks Aroused.
Fierce Resentment at the Ac-
ton of the Powers.

Athens, Feb l9.-The proposals
of some of the European powers to
take coercive measures against
Greece to enforce their prohibition
of Greek action in Crete have aroused
fierce public resentment throughout
the kingdom, and popular demands
that the government resist the action
of the powers at any cost are being
made in all quarters The govern
ment, hacked by the unanimous senti-
ment of the people, still insists that
the Greek fotilla in certain waters
shall be allowed TO act in accordance
with the purposes for which the yes
sells were sent. If the European
squadrons should prevent Greece
from acting against the Turks by sea,
a revolution in Macedonia and Epirns
is certain to follow.
The attitude assumed by the Libe-
rails in the British parliament
in regard to Crete is hailed with great
enthusiasm here. Greece has relied
and still relies upon an appeal of the
people everywhere in her behalf
and this feeling of confidence in the
sympathy Of Europe generally goes
far towards explaining the defiant
course she has taken.
The Greek cruiser Spezia, with
full steam up, is lying in the Plraens
awaiting orders TO proceed to Cretan
waters, and advices from Macedonia
say that all of the principal bridges
and roads in that territory are mined
in readiness to destroy them in order
to prevent the advance of tae Turks
A dispatch from Canea states that
three of the great powers are in favor
of union between Crete and Greece
1t is reported that King George will
appeal to the Hellenic race for a
great loan to meet the expenses of
the military and naval preparations.
A British ironc!ad has prevented the
steamer Junon from embarking pro-
visions intended for the use Of the
Greek troops in Crete. The mil
tary operations on the part Of Greece
continue. Two more classes of the
reserves have been called out The
king openly favors resistance 10 the
demands of the powers
In the course Of a debate III the
chamber of deputies last evening,
Premier Delyannis stated that the
government was seeking to discover
the reason for the operation of Greece
in Crete As a result of their in
vestigations, he said the cabinet had
arrived at certain conclusions. which,
however, he was not yet able to com
municate to the chamber further than
to declare that Greece would persist
in her policy and course of action in

island where Col. Vassos' purpose
was to occupy several strategic
points
One report states that the ultima
tum declared that if the Greek troops
or the insurgents approached any
nearer to Canea than they were the

Athens, Feb. 22.-The Indignation
caused by the bombardment yester-
day of the insurgent position near
Canea by the foreign warships has
increased and the action of the pow
ers is denounced on every hand as a
gross outrage and a wanton dsre
gard of the rights of Greece A
very largely attended Indignation
meeting was held to-day at which
strong protests were made against
the interference of the powers, who,
it was declared, were pitting their
might against Greek right The
speakers vehemently asserted that
the country was now more hrmly re-
solved than ever to spend its blood
and treasure for Crete Prime Min
lister Delyannis addressed the meet
ing. He declared that the cabinet
was in perfect accord with the ma
ton The government knew Its
duty fully and would perform it in
the face of every obstacle
The audience was carried away BY
the warlike words of the speakers,
who were frequently interrupted by
the cries for war. There is nc de
nying the fact that the whole Hell
lenic people are in a temper which
would make war welcome even
against overwhelming odds They
are determined to uphold Greek

The Island Of Crete.

The island of Crete is situated
in the Mediterranean sea, 20 the
south of Greece. and is the most
southerly portion of Europe. 1t is
about $50 miles in length, while its
breadth does not anywhere exceed
35 miles, and in some places is only
10 or ~ miles The greater part Of
the island is occupied by mountains,
some of which reach to a considera-
BILE height The intervals between
the mountain groups are filled up for
the most part by undulating tracts.
consisting of hills Of comparatively
low elevation. There are 10 rivers
of any Importance That part Of the
island which is not mountainous is Of
great fertility. Oranges and lemons
and other tropical fruits abound The
island also produces cotton, tobacco,
olive oil. wine and silk Under a
better form of government the island
wculd, no doubt, be most prosperous.
The population Of the island has
been very much diminished At one
time it numbered 1000, 600, In 1885
the last census reported that it has
dwindled down to 800, 900 and about
5o, 600 are Mohammedans nearly all
the others being Christians belong
iuo TO the Greek church. which has
eight bishops in the island. The Ian
guage spoken by both Christians and
Mohammedans is Greek.

formerly the capital The present
capital is Canea, which is the seat Of
Greek bishop. and the official resi-
dence of the European consuls in
1869 the island was besieged and
conquered by the Turks, and it con-
tinned subject to the Ottoman rule
until the outbreak Of the Greek revo-
luton in 1921 At that time the
natives made themselves masters Of
the country, and drove the Turks or
Mohamedan population. to take re-
fuge in forti6cations. This contest
was prolonged without any decisive
result until IN 1881 the allied pow
ers of Eurpe transferred the island to
the government of Mehemet Ali,
viceroy of Egypt 1t thus remained
until 1910, when it was taken from
NJ Mehemet Ali and replaced under the
dominion of the Turks.
St. Paul visited the island Crete
and planted church there. Hence,
a large number of Christians in the
island TO this day. In 1866 the
Christians revo!ted against the Turks,
