Today
Athens, Feb. 21. The Asty says
King George In an Interview with a
diplomat jesterdny explained the atti
tude of himself and the government
on the Cretan (juestlon. His majesty
declined that he had decided ta annex
Ciete to the Greek dominions, and had
oulered the army of occupation not to
abandon the Island. The king leiiuest
ed the diplomat to communicate this
decision to his colleagues In Athens.
Betlln, Feb. 21. The Geinian etulser
Kalaerln Augusta, the only dm man
warship which Is to take part In the
blocknde of, or naval demonstration
In tiie Piraeus, If such action should
be decided upon was at Malta on
Thursday and theie received oiders
to pioceed to Canea and await fuither
Instiuctions. The latest phuse of the
Cietan position conllims the lew taken
by Gel man ofllelul authorities that the
aeutenebs of the ciisls which prevailed
last week Is rapldlj abating. The sit
uation now inspire no immediate dis
quietude. Gteece has submitted 01
least will submit to the behests of the
united poweis and the outlook foi a
complete cessation of hostilities Is ex
tremely promising. The policy of the
kaiser has In some yuarter. been mls
constiued as meiely following the lead
of Russia, and ludllTeient to the claims
of the Crot ins, or their Greek kinsfolk.
But the more reasonable and least
blamed lew- of Berlin diplomacy Is that
tluoughout the Cretan trouble It has
aimed at dealing with Ciete as an in
tegral pait of the whole eastern ques
tion, without piejudlce to. the ultimate
claims of Gteece and Crete, to hae
their mutual aspliatlons satisfied.
licet, proceeded to the camp of Colonel
Vassos, who was Informed as to the
decision that had been arrived at by
the commanding oillcers of the foreign
fleets.
This morning the insurgents in the
vicinity of Canea, began firing on the
town, despite the wornings that had
been given. The firing wus continued
for some time, whereupon the admirals
of the foreign fleets ordered their ves
sels cleared for action and soon the
guns of the fleet were tin owing shells
Into the Insurgents' camp.
A Biitlsh cruiser was the flist of
the wai ships to open fire, vessels of the
other nations following In succession.
Foity shells were fired.
Canea, Feb. 21. Later It has been
learned that the ultimatum of the ud
mlials to Colonel Vassos was against
his attacking Canea. It apparently
did not forbid him from matching into
the interior of the Island, wheie Col
onel Vassos pui poses to occupy several
strategic points.
The action of the foreign warships
has caused the deepest Indignation
and the supporters of the sultan aie bit
terly denounced on all sides. It Is de
claied that the poweis In upholding
Moslem iule by force of aims have
made a melancholy and degrading
spectacle that Greece will never forget.

CONFIDENCE IN THE KAISER.
The sultan's confidence In the kals-

poite has at this grave juncture, given
the iepiesentatlons made, independent
ly thiough Iiaron Sauima Von Jelusch,
pei haps gi eater weight than evei the
conceited iepiesentatlons of the am
bassadors. At Athens, also, direct
Geiman diplomacy and the kaiser's per
sonal Influence hae been nt work to
prevent such wldespiead outbieak of
hostilities as would lead to a geneial
conflagration in the Balkan peninsula.
The Kusslan mllltaiy attache at Con
stantinople, Colonel Peehoff, who was
uppolntetl a member of the commission
to reoiganlze the Cretan gendarmaile,
lepoits that while in Ciete in the per
foimauce of his mission he became con
inced that the Cretans did not wish
to be transferred from a Turkish to a
Gieek regime, but would greatly pie
fer a good home admlnlstiatlon. In
conclusion Colonel Pechoff says that
should! Greece obtain possession of
Ciete the island would become un In
tolerable buiden to her.
ENTHUSIASM AT ATHENS.
London, Feb. 21. A dispatch fiom
Athens to the Centtal News states that
the fleets of the powers todaj bom
bnided the Insuigent positions In the
vicinity of Canea No details of the
bombaidment aie glen.
The dispatch udds that the Greek
dispatch boat Pelnelos lias exchanged
shots with a Tuiklsh frigate, but In
this ease also details are lacking and
both lepoits aie accepted under re
seive. It Is lepoited that seven hundred
Gieek soldleis, and a number of pieces
of aitilleiy have been landed at KIs
amo bay.
A Biitish toipedo boat stopped the
Gieek steamer Lauilum, which was
landing piolslons and ammunitions
of war at Kolymbar bay, and escorted
hei to Canea.
The excitement In Athens continues
without abatement und the popular
olce Is loud for war If the ennexatlon
of Crete to Gieeee can be obtained In
no other way.
The populace demand that no atten
tion be paid to the warnings and de
mands of the powers, but that Gieeee
maintain her position in face of Europe.
A vast crowd gatheicd this afternoon
In front of the palace and repeatedly
cheeied the king and the loyal pilnces,
whose actions met with the fullest ap
piobatlon. The crowd ilnally became
bo demonstiatlo that the king ap
pealed on one of the balconies of the
palace and addiessed the people. He
and the government, he declared, weie
fulfilling the mandate of the entite Hel
lenic people in going to the aid of the
struggling Cretan Clulstlons and In
seeking to regain possession of the Isl
and. He added that he prayed that
God would strengthen their efforts.
His majestj concluded his address
by thanking the people for the whole
hearted suppoit they had given him.
The crowd became wild with delight
over the words of King Geoige and the
applause was deafening when he con
cluded. Then after cijlng again and
again "Long live Greece," the crowd
graduallj dispelled.

Bishop Vv'nlden, of Cincinnati, were
the only callers on the piesldent-elect
today. Goveinoi Bradley arrived early
this morning and took dinner with the
president-elect. He left for Cleveland
in the afternoon to hae a talk with
Maik Hannn. Mi. Hanna is expect
ed hete on Tuesday and thete will be
other piomlnent visitors In Canton this
week. Colonel J. J. McCook, of Now
Yoik, will ptobably be one of them,
and if he comes he is likely to be of
fered a cabinet portfolio. His appoint
ment has not jet been decided upon,
but the chances aie that he will be the
New Yoik man in Major McKlnlcVs
cabinet. The belief hete tonight Is that
lie will be given an opportunity to ac
cept the poitfolio of the Interlot depait
ment. This ntrangement seems ex
tremely piobable when It Is recalled
that a good lawyer Is lequlted for the
department of the lnteilot.
.Tamos A. Gary, of Baltimote, is not
a. lawjer and lie will be postmaster
general, as theie is no disposition to

a result of this airangement Judge Jo

ably be the attorney general.
Major McKInley did not attend church
today and was not feeling quite as
well as usual, thought it must not be
supposed lie is in danger of a" collapse.

It cannot be confirmed as yet in any

anxious to resign if the administration,

that of freeing all American political
suspects now In rank Spanish dungeons,
or at least seeming them a speedy civil
tiinl such as they are entitled to.
The case of Dr. Ruiz, it is-clalmed,
brought this up. General Lee investi

discredited it. He cabled his suspicions
to Secretary Olney and was told to in
vestigate. This he did and then de
manded of the Spaniards that the body
be disinter ted and a postmortem be
held. This they refused. Secretary
Olney upheld Geneial Lee and finally
It was conceded to by tho Spaniards.
Tho postmortem was held yesterdaj'.
It is said that while it reveals no nciuui
tiaces of foul play General Lee decid
ed that his information wns such ns
almost to prove it. It is reported that
he and Spanish ofllcials had sharp
words on the subject.
General Lee therr cabled Secretary
Olney that the administration must
