the fish which are caught on hook and
line has increased Heretofore fishing

Severn river and it's tributary creeks, but
during the past week there has been
good fishing in Annapolis harbor and on
the bars extending into the Chesapeake
bay near here. Catches have included
bay trout. or weakfish, as long as fifteen
inches. Good sized grumblers and crocus,
Or croakers, are quite plentiful.

catch during morning spent on Chink
Point. The catch consisted of several
large trout and between thirty and forty

certain.

up the Severn during the week and has
had some luck in fishing around the

to Resist.

government. 1t promises that the pow
ers shall see that the Objectionable flag

nently, and expresses the hope that in

it necessary to order her fleet to proceed
to Cretan waters.

force to remove the Grecian banner.
The French government considers the
Cretan question to be exceedingly delicate,
and the feeling at both Constantinople
and Athens is reported here to be war
like. Advices received from Canea say
that a detachment Of Cretan militia is
islanders. Many armed bands are arrv-
ing at Canea from the mountains.
The French armored cruiser Victor
Hugo has left Toulon for Crete, for
France. together with Great Britain and
Italy. is ready to send third warship
TO the island in an effort to bring the
Cretans TO reason and avoid a clash be-
tween Turkey and Greece.

government has summoned the chamber
of deputies to meet this afternoon. Owing
to the refusal of the deputies to agree TO
the removal of the Greek flag. the min
