DISCORD IN THE CONCERT.
London, April 1. The Dally Chionl-eb-
published a dispatch flora its Home
coi respondent saying that gieat diver
gence of opinion is appealing among
the poweis with respect to the details
of the action to be taken against
Clieece. The cleavage is so pronounced
that a rupture of the conceit Is ex
ptcted, especially In the event of a war
between Turkey and Gtee.-e.
A dispatch to the Standuul fiom Sa
lonika sajrt that the Ineiease ol ttoops
on the east Hank of the Tuiklsh atniy
indicates that an attack will be made
upon laulss.i in the case of the out
break of war. The ttoops ate divided
Into three pat ts. holding Katlsiina,
Litochoil and Kurya. They ate com
manded by Hassan Pasha, cc-govetnor
of Ctete. The men appear cheeiful and
are ontented to live chiefly on bread,
sugar, beans and raisins. Several of
the hattalions. It is said, declate that
they do not want pay. but will fight
for their country as long as it is neces
sary. The Westminster Gozette this after
noon publishes a dispatch fiom Con
stantinople which says that uctlng up
on the lnstliicMon o their lespectlve
governments, the nmbassadois of the
powers have opened confidential nego
tiations with the Tutklsh government
for a definite withdiawal of the Turk
ish ttoops from Ctete.
THE WARSHIPS IN ACTION.
The Canea conespondent of the
Standatd says, In describing the bom
bat dment by the fotelgn w at ships of
the position taken up by the Insur
gents on the hill to the south of Suda
bay:
"When the Cretans began the attack
Colonel Bor proposed to the admir
als that they should land a mixed fntce
of 500 men to dtlve the Insurgents fiom
the position they occupied behind a
strong stone wall along the i a vine.
The Austtlan and French admit als
were opposed to taking the offensive,
and they decided to confine their action
to bombatdlng. By 8 o'clock In the
morning the engagement was in full
swing. The Tuiklsh guns In Fort Izze
din could take only a small part In the
filing, as most of them are directed
seawards. Hut a Turkish ftlgate shelled
the Insurgents freely, though with little
eflect. An hour later the foreign men
of war signalled their intention to bom
bard. The Grozlastchy fired.fiist, then
H. M. S. Ardent, und finally the Aus
trian gunboat Tiger. Kach vessel fired
In Its tutn, aiming chlellv ut the Greek
flag which was hoisted above the
stone wall. The Ardent ceased filing
at 9.30. but the Grozlastchy, tanging
close In shore, by degrees pounded down
the wall yard by yuid, every shot tell
ing. "In spite of the heavy cannonade the
Cretans iield their giound stoutly, even
throwing out sklintlshers toMepel the
Turkish outposts, though they were
compelled to abandon their own pilntl
pal position behind the stone wall.
"At 9.45 a. m. H. M.'S. Canipetdown,
the outermost of the largest lionclads,
berin thing six-inch shells. The Cie
taif? thereupon retired slightly, but
continued a heavy file until 10 o'clock,
when the Compel down, at a range of
C.400 yaids, fired her big guns. The ef
fect was Instantaneous. Three out of
four of the peicitsslon shells burst di
rectly in the center of the Insurgents'
position, and the Cietans fled belter
skelter.
1jUJi:iH AIM WAS GOOD.
"Tlie ahn of the gunners was peifect,
while the funnldable noise of the enor
mous shells buttling through the uir
wns alone enough to f lighten any en
emy. Things were now getting too hot
to last and the lnsuigent flag was
speedily lowered. The" Cretans in full
retreat were hastened by the fire of
the Grozlastchy and the Tiger, which
poured in with extreme accuracy of aim
a succession of shrapnels.
"At 10.15 the last shell fell. Seeing
that the object, of the bombardment
was accomplished, the Russian and
Austrian warships steamed away for
blockade service. The Ardent returned
to Suda. The Turkish soldiery sallied
J quickly from the forts, occupied the
positions lately held by the Insurgents,
hoisted the Ottoman Hag with great
manifestations of delight, and even ad
vanced across the open with great cool
ness, though exposed to the continuous
fire of the Insurgent sharpshooters, who
remained In the ravine up to the last
moment.
"At 11.30 a. in, the Turks were still
pouting a rattling rifle tire upon the
tetrentlng musses of the Insurgents,
who replied with wonderful spirit.
Their splendid defense of the position
excited the admiration of all. Until
the Cumperdown began to lite heavy
shells the Insurgents lather gained than
lost ground In plle of the tremendous
fire of the Russian and Ausliiuu ves
s'K Altogcthci about 100 shells were
filed.
Athens. April 1. Some of the British
wntshlps employed In blockade duty In
the waters of Crete have enptuted
thtee small Greek sailing vessels. Much
Indignation Is exptessed here over the
affulr us It Is pretty clearly established
thut ut the time the vessels wete cup-
tuied they wete outside the limits of
the blockade.
London, April 1. It Is ctedltnbly
stated here that the admirals com
manding the lleets on duty ut Canea
and other Cietan ports have applied to
their respective governments to each
send fifty cavalry and half a battery of
nitlllery, which, they declate, ure re
quited to be used for gunlson put poses.
