CRETE AND GREECE.
Turkey Sits Back Waiting for the Unex-
pected 10 Turn Up.

Athens. Feb. l3.-There is a change
for the better here to-day. The people
are becoming calmer and the officials
are betraying anxiety as To the eventual
outcome of the efforts of Greece in be-
half of the Cretan insurgents. 1t is now
krown strong pressure has been
brought to bear upon King George and
the sultan of Turkey to prevent an out
break of hostilities between Greece and
Turkey. The latter country is under
stood TO have agreed not to send troops
to Crete. The powers in return are be-
lieved To he restraining Greece from ac-
lively interfering in Crete.
AT the same time there is evident
danger in the direction of Thessaly and
Macedonia, for Greek troops are being
hurriedly dispatched tn the frontiers
and reports from Salonika say the
Turks are quietly mastering the army
corps there in order TO be prepared for
emergencies.
The situation in Crete has somewhat
improved. Desultory lighting is still
reported. 1t is stated here the insur-
gents are practically in possession of
the whole island except the largest
towns. II this Is the case, the union of
Crete with Greece having been formally
proclaimed. the independence of the
fait accompli and il is difficult 10 see
how the preeXisting order of things can
he restored without joint action upon
the part of the powers and the military
occupation of Crete by foreign lleets.
In official circles here this outcome Is
not believed to be possible and there is
disposition now to quietly allow
events to take their natural course, the
idea being that Crete Is practically free
and likely TO remain so unless subdued
by the powers. Therefore the question
To be discussed, IL is said, il whether
the powers will permit the Cretan in
surgents to enjoy their independence
and eventually ally themselves with
Greece.
Constantinople. Feb. 13.-There is a
disposition i'm official circles here To
hold the powers responsible for any
thing that may happen in Crete. The
sultan has been prevailed upon by the
ambassadors to refrain from sending
reinforcements to Crete, and also has
been assured the powers have decided
not to permit the landing Of Greek
troops in Crete.
The council of ministers. II is semi
officially announced, has decided that
Turkey will remain pacific pending the
efforts of the powers to prevent direct
Greek Intervention in Crete, but it is
further stated that If the powers are
unsuccessful the Turkish government
will be compelled tn begin military OPP
erations on the Thessaia frontier or, in
other words, Turkey will declare war
against Greece and promptly invade
that country.
The decision of the porte has been
officially communicated to the different
embassies. There is no doubt that the
willingness of the sultan apparently to
bow to the will of the powers in the
present crisis was largely due To the
impoverished state of the Turkish trea-
sury. The situation is grave. and, as
usual, the sultan is calmly reckoning ON
coming out ahead by trusting To the
jealousies of the powers and the advent
OF the unexpected.

Sea Girt, N. j., Aug 26.-Little Of mo-
ment has occurred in camp to-day
The shooting began at s O'Clock and
was continued throughout the day. The
Hilton trophy and interstate matches were
rehearsed and, taken altogether, the scores
were very creditable.
During the 200-yard practice there was
a brisk left wind as on Yesterday and this
affected the scores at that range to some
extent Owing to the scarcity of tar
gets some five or six of the team, who
have made low scores in practice, will be
dropped on Friday so that the remaining
time can be devoted to the others of the
team. The second day Of the Georgia team
on the range at Sea Girt which was Tues
day, opened without ray of sunshine
and with a siX-mile breeze blowing from
the west. At 10 O'Clock the team COM

Buffalo, N. Y, Aug 26.-The President
of the United States was refused admis-
sion to the Grand Army camp this morn
ing, although he had come at the special
invitation of the veterans and everything
was in readiness to receive him. The Incl
dent proved one of great modification TO
the Grand Army leaders and excited in
dignation among the members of the To-
cal committee. To the President at first
it was a trife annoying. but a few minutes
after the episode, he was having a hearty
laugh over it and eXcusng the official who
refused him entry, by saying that the
man was perfectly right to obey orders no
matter who demanded admission
The reason for the refusal was that the
sentry had been ordered to admit no car
riage 10 the camp. Later, the President
visited Cayuga Island, the site of the Pan
American exposition. and with a malet
on which his name was inscribed, drove a
stake in a grass plot in the center of the
