TURNED OVER TO BRITISH.
Forty-three Ringleaders in Cretan Dis
turbances Given Up.

Gambia. Crete, September 15.-An aide
de camp of Djoyad Pasha boarded the
British flagship yesterday evening and
announced that he had an important
communication for the admiral. He said
80 houses from which the British troops
had been fired upon had been demolished
and that 113 of the ring"leaders of the
disturbances had been arrested. He
added that the ambassadors of the pow
ers at Constantinopls in reference to the
request of the Sultan, had agreed that
the prisoners would be tried by an inter-
national commission.
This alleged decision Of the embassies
does not accord with the demands made
by the British admiral, Gerard Henry
Noel, and will increase the difficulty ex-
perienced in disarming the Mussulmens,
as it encourages them in the belief that
the Sultan Of Turkey still influences
the embassies of the powers at Constan-
tinople 1t is doubtful whether Great
Britain will consent to include the
outrage on her flag with the questions
of p1llage and the massacre OF Chrlstlans
which are purely international questions.
Later 43 of the ringleaders VINO mao
been arrested, were delivered to the Brit
ish admiral and it was considered PROB
able that all the terms of his ultimatum
would be complied with without resls-
tauCe.

York. The steerer piloted them to de-
lapitated house in Maspeth. They were
taken up stairs and there met two more
of the green goods men. The usual talk
and barter took place and then two
thousand dollars In new bills were
counted out and placed upon the table for
the examination of the farmer and his
son. No sooner had they the pile to ex-
anime than they whipped out revolvers
and began blazing away at the ceiling
and floor and the walls.
. . The green goods men tumbled down the
stairway and started up the street on a
dead run Down stairs after them went
father ana son and sent few bullets in
the direction in which the green goods
men had gone. The shots attracted the
police and father and son and the two
thousand dollars and the whole green
goods layout were captured. No.

The Financial News says that exporters
of arms and ammunition to Spain are
warned that it is we'll for them to bo
careful to whom consignments are made
other than the government. The Spanish

of sound theory and prat tice.
