 in Cnnea

Canea, Island of Crete. Oct IA decree announcing the union of Crete with Greece was published here this evening.
 Events leading up to the climax fol- lowed each other throughout the day with dramatic rapidity. The town was bcdecked and early in the morning people began focking in from all di- rections. There was much firing of guns and revolvers. with plenty of cheering, but perfect order prevailed. Musselmen mingled with Christians freely and unmolested.
 At o'clock in the afternoon a de- monstration in favor of union with Greece occurred on the military grounds More than 100000 people gathered at this place. All the prom inent revolutionary leaders. each with his banner flying, appeared and they were supported by the heads of the different political parties. the mayors of the towns, the clergy and others influential in the councils of the is- land. Speeches were made by many persons who declared that the peace- full political revolution which they had assembled to commemorate was not directed against the powers, which had been the islands benefactors, but sole ly at proclaiming the islands union with the motherland. They called up- OU l16 tO oSS ~A- In the name of the free Kingdom Of Greece.
 They urged the people as a duty to go respectfully and announce their decision to the representatives of the powers. that they must call together and assembly to confirm the peoples decision by an official vote.
 Ten thousand men thereupon march ed singing and shouting to the va- rious consulates, leaving at each Of them a written copy of the resolutions adopted. They then surged to the Gov ernor's palace and other public build ings and lowered the flag of Crete, raising the Greek flag in It's place.
 With incessant and wild cheering for the union the great procession maoe its way to the fortress, where Greek flag also was sent up to the top of flagstaff. but the French troops in- sisted upon lowering it, and unfurled the flag of Crete and those or the four protecting powers. This angered the populace and for a time there was serious danger of disturbances, but the leaders finally succeeded In restoring quiet.
 A sneciaI issue of the Government journal was distributed at o'clock this evening containing the decree signed by i've councillors. who am nounee their compliance with the peo- ples' decision and direct all officials henceforth to conduct the business ot the country In the nauie Of the aeilehic Governments aa
