No man of importance has been ex-

CANEA, March 31.-The insurgents,
by bold stroke, occupied the hill on
the south side of Suda bay last even
ing. They were promptly shelled by
the British Austrian and Russian war
ships. At daybreak today the fighting
was resumed, and the Cretans were
driven from their positions AS soon
as the firing ceased they made another
attempt to recover the ground and the
warships promptly resumed the firing,
which was very heavy for several
hours. During the cannonade three
Turks were killed and five wounded
The Russian Consul at Retimo re-
ports that when he communicated to
the Cretans the proclamation of the
Admirals inviting them to lay down
their arms, the Cretans replied that the
only boon they would accept from the
powers was political union with Greece
In spite of the heavy cannonade the
Cretans held their ground stoutly,
even throwing out skirmishers 10 re-
pei the Turkish outposts, though they
were compelled TO abandon their own
principal positions behind the stone
wall.
At 1915 the last shell fell. Seeing
that the object of the bombardment
was accomplished, the Russian and
Austrian warships steamed away for
blockade service The British ship
Ardent returned TO Suda. The Turkish
soidiery sailed quietly from the forts,
occupied the positions held by the in
surgents, hoisted the Ottoman flag with
manifest delight and advanced across
the open with GOODNESS, though exposed
to the continuous firing of the insur-
gent sharpshooters. who remained in
the ravine up to the last moment. AL
together about 100 shells were fired.

It is said that Rivera is an American
citizen, but he is not registered at the
Consulate. and no appeal has been
made to Consul General Lee. If such
were the case the Spanish would I'M
doubtedly hesitate before shooting him,
