CRETAN ARMY
 JOINS MUTINEERS

Canea, Aug. 16.-Nearly the entire army today joined the mutineers on account of the efforts of the command CTS of the fort to lower the Greek flag in compliance with the demand of the powers. No demonstration of any seriousness has yet occurred in .Canea, as the insurgents recognize the futility of fighting here, where the powers will shortly land a force suffi- cient to quell any disturbance. If the insurgent move gets under way in the interior as it now is planned by the leaders an extensive campaign by the armies of the protecting powers will be necessary.
 A number of Moslems have been in the interior according to messages that came in today. Of the 30. 900 Moslems in the island, the vast ma jortty are safe from molestation, it is believed, by reason of their proven loyalty to Greece and their expressed deisre to be annexed to Greece.
 The provisional committees that are conducting the affairs of Crete now that the government has resigned, say the Greek flag will be lowered from over the fortress before the day is oyer. The last of the armed peasants, who occupied the fortress to ward off an attack. have left their posts.
 Crete now fears that the powers will reinvest the affected country and es- tablish force there.

NOT MUCH DAMAGE
 TO LAKE BOAT
Company Receives Further Information by Cablegram
 From Simon Lake
NO BRIDGEPORTER HURT.

The Lake Torpedo Boat Company, of this city, received a further communi- cation from Simon Lake, president of the company, who is now at St. Peters burg, Russia, indicating that the ex- plosion on board the submarine Dragon, which is being built by the company for the Russian government. was much less serious than the earlier reports indicated. The contract price of the craft was $45o,ooo It was fully insured. The damage done to it by fire is, however, slight and the insur- ance companies will not be asked to stand a heavy loss.
 It was said at the factory this morn ing that 1t is not probable that any Bridgeport men were employed on the boat at this time. Two, Russian la borers were seriously burned and a number slightly. The only American who was injured was Joseph Meade, of Baltimore, an engineer in the employ ment of the company, who was slight ly burned.
 It was said at the office in this city that the boat was in the hands of the makers of a German storage battery who were installing their system. The battery fluids are a compound of which sometimes generate an explosive gas. It was considered more probable, howeve4 that the explosion resulted from the exposure of some benzine which workmen were bringing on board, as the vessel is carefully ar ranged to prevent battery gases ac- cumulating.

Despite all this, more jury masts were rigged up and the ship came into port unaided.

LUCANIA FIRED
 BY INCENDIARY
Special from United Press

Liverpool, Aug. 16.-Detectives to- day, after a thorough investigation of the fire on the Cunard line steamer Lucania, are convinced that the ship was fired by an incendiary. They found that there were, four separate blazes aboard the Lucania in different parts of the ship and at intervals of half bouf. One of the minor employees of the ship, discharged after she dock ed here, is being sought by the police who say they have evidence that he was aboard the ship a short time be- fore the fires were discovered.
 The Cunard officials deny the story of the separate blazes but the detec- lives say their information comes from members of the ships crew who were closely questioned by them.
 The Lucania. which it was necessary to sink in thirty feet of water before fire could be extinguished. will be placed in dry dock as soon as possible. As her engines are not injured it Is thought that she can be repaired within a short time.

How the BuIldog Was Evolved.
 In the north hall Of the British Nat ural History museum skulls of domes- ticated dogs are arranged which ulus- trate the evolution of the modern bull dog from a breed which. according to old pictures, was more of the nastin type. Bull batting was a common sport in the thirteenth century, and there is a later record which draws dis tinction between bulldogs and mastiffs. Low. in his sDomesticated Animals Of the British Islands," points out that it Is essential that q dog which makes a frontal attack on a bull should be both underhung and short legged, that it may get a firm grip of it's antagonist and avoid its horns We may therefore be sure that, as the bulldog was gradu- ally evolved from the mastiff. these points were held to be of prime i'm portance.

The over flow of the Hida river destroyed hum dreds of acres of vegetation.
 Up to a late hour 35 bodies have been recovered while hundreds of injured are filling the improvised hospitals which have been established by an army corps which was rushed to the scene. It is declared today that over a thousand buildings were wrecked by the earthquake.
