THE GREEKS IN CRETE.
The Government Detsrnines to Continue
an Active Policy.

Athens. Feb. 19.--In the legislative
chamber Prime Minister Delyannis an.
nouneed that he had not received au.
thentic 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 in their recent action In Crete.
The government had arrived at cer-
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-
stltuted recognition Of Greek occupa-
tion. 1t is reported that the cabinet
council decided to continue an active
policy The government last night
sent instructions to heconsul at Canea
declaring that as thesfour 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 quilt the island. Turk
ish soldiers who yield will be disarmed
and sent to Smyrna or other points

Washington, Feb. 19.-The Republi-
can members of the ways and means
committee took an important step yes

bill by deciding to restore the McKin-

were 75 cents per ton of 28 bushels on
bituminous and shale, and 80 cents on
coal slack, such as will pass through
half inch screen. The present rates
are 40 cents and Is cents. Coke is ad-
vanced from is to 20 per cent, ad
valorem. There is a practical UNDER
standing that the new bill will return
to the Mckinley rates on tobacco ex-
cept on the grade known as filler. The
rate on this will he 70 cents a pound,
double the Mckinley duty.
