Canet, Crete, Aug. 16.-Nearly the
entire Cretan army Joined the mutt
neers today to resist the order of the
powers that the Greek flag must be
lowered. The flag was ordered down
before night, and serious trouble is
feared. Trouble in the interior is
predicted and a long campaign.
The Cabinet has resigned after an
ncuncement that the flag must be
lowered by force, II at all.
A joint note, signed by the four pro-
tectlng powers of Crete-Great Britain
Russia, Italy and France-has been
presented to the Turkish government.
1t promises that the powers shall see
that the Objectionable flag hoisted by
the Cretans is removed permanently.
France 10 Send Warships.
French warships will be sent TO re-
inforce the French guardship now in
Cretan waters. The battleship Victor
Hugo and one other have sailed from
Toulon. The resident foreign consuls
will take no action before the battle
ships arrive, for fear it would cause n
Cretan rising
A Turkish fleet is now lying off the
Island OF Karpatnos. Both the French
and British governments have urged
the Porte not to allow the fleet TO en-
ter Greek waters.
The Greek flag was hoisted over the
fortress OF Canea July 81, the day after
the final evacuation by international
troops. In May. 1908, when Great
Britain, Russia, France and Italy de-
cided gradually to withdraw their
troops, crete declared for union with
Greece, and the island has been in a
state of excitement ever since. Tur-
key has been demanding that her
rights In Crete shall be maintained.
The Island of Crete. thoroughly
Greek in its traditions, became a part
of the Ottoman empire in 1715, after
being buffeted about from one power
to another through all its early his
tory The nation was in almost con-
stant insurrection throughput the 18th
century. Greece intervened in 1897,
and in a short. decisive war was
beaten by Abdul Hamid. Then the
hold Of the Turk on Crete was firm
ly fastened The Greek legal code is
in force and the governor of the is
land is a former prime minister of
Greece. AS a result, both Greece and
Crete are dissatisfied, holding that
they should be joined in government,
as they are in race, history, language
and religion.
SO, with the departure of the last
foreign forces, Greece saw her oppor-
tunity to test the disposition Of the
powers by asserting full authority ov-
er the island. Greece replied on Au-
gust 4, TO the Turkish note, which,
although couched in friendly terms,
practically demanded the recall of the
officers serving in Crete. Greece
maintained that the question was in
the hands of the four protecting pow
ers of Crete, with whose knowledge
and consent the officers were sent to
the island.
Turkey next intlIhated that the
friendly request to Greece would be
followed. unless satisfaction was OBJ
tanned, by more energetic demand

TWO YOUNG GIRLS
KILL BIG COYOTE

Kennewick, Wash.-Miss Marian
Griffith and Miss Florine Bonn, two
l4-year-old girls of White Bluffs,
proved themselves true daughters OF
the west Saturday afternoon when
they clubbed to death a big coyote
and carried their trophy home.
The girls were strolling along the
river near the Bonn ranch when the
Griffith dog started an unusually
large coyote from the sagebrush, The
wolf, with a viciousness rarely eX-
hibited by one of his species, attack
ed the dog and battle ensued.
Seeing the plight of the dog and
calling to her companion to help,
Miss Griffith armed herself with a
stout stick and rushed into the me-
lee. Following her example Miss
Bonn secured a cudgel and rendered
valiant assistance. The plucky maid
ems welded their weapon with tell
ing effect and soon dispatched the
coyote.
With the carcass of their prey
swinging between them, their nut
brown creeks flushed with the eX-
element of battle and the old dog
limping along behind, the youthful
hunters arrived at the Bonn home
and recounted their novel adventure.

to a mortal end under the paws
of a Nubian lion. 1t would be
the irony of fate, but that is what
nearly happened to me some years
ago. With perils innumerable behind
us the two white men Of the party,
one gold-seeker the other a pure
adventurer of the type of Tanner,
nearly came to an end.
We frequently left the river and
navigable tributaries which we were
working out slowly, to explore the ra-
vines for high bars, never taking with
us more than four bearers, though at
times we were absent from the main
party outfit for a fortnight, knowing
1t was entirely safe in the care Of a
thin cross-eyed Arabian ex-chasseur
who was born voyageur with tinge
OF Napoleon and the Devil and Uncle
Tom in him. He was true as salt
Arabian and the blood Ibrother Senegal
negro are two types Of dark skinned
men with whom I would as soon face
danger and difficulty as with any
white men that live.
One night we were about to make
camp when we encountered party Of
women and girls bearing water jars
and they told US of village mile
further on. Before we reached the
village we were met by the chief and
his induanas who begged us to make
stay with them as they were seri-
ously troubled with lions. Two of the
chiefs horses and two of his wives
had been killed among the losses

which the village had suffered and
the three muskets in his army were OF
no avail especially as none OF the of.
flcers in command could be induced
to get near enough to the bold beasts
to risk a shot.
About the second hour Of darkness
the cattle in the village became very
restless. The wind was from the
south and as the half full moon was so
bright that any skulking animal near
the village would have been noticed,
Drayton and agreed that the lion was
in a little cope Of rocks about nan
mile up the wind, We had not had
time before dark to examine any Of
the old spoor and knowing merely
that there was at least a lioness with
cubs among the lot, we set out In.
stead of waiting until they approached
the stream. Drayton carried special
$3.50 Winchester and I a Parker ten
gauge, which had loaded with special
shells of dense powder and buckshot
set in wax.
When within so yards of the koppe
a splendid animal form rose out Of
the rocks and stood facing US his fore
paws on huge boulder. We vera
hidden by the clumps of brush through
which we had been working and Ia
did not see us. Slowly and majestic
ally he surveyed the little plain thef,
thrusting out his ponderous jaw w.
tered a roar that went laundering
down the reaches of moonlit silence.
1t was with difficulty that could re-
strain Drayton from risking a shot
from where we stood. The lion he'd
his pose and ducking under cover of
the brush and treading softly on the
sand we hurried forward to the first
ridge of rocks. To pass these, we
must attract his notice to q certainty,
SO Drayton dropped on one knee while
with every nerve tingling and my eyes
and ears astrain to catch any sign Of
his mate, who might be just beyond
the ridge for all We knew, waited for
Drayton's shot. He chose the chest
and the crash of the Winchester went
echoing among the rocks. The mag
niflcent beast leaped ten feet In the
air, then came rolling, tumbling, claw
ing down our side of the Hoppe a.
rectly toward us. His wounded roar
was answered from other directions.
There were two other lions on tie
other side Of the Hoppe and one h
the rocks and brush not 20 yards FROM
us to the right. But we had not time
to think of them. The wounded lion
got; to his feet with incredible energy
and quickness. AS he leaped. with
another roar I poured both barrels OF
my Parker into his body. That was
enough. He landed in commissions
and it was fortunate that he had
enough. There was a crash in the
