Foreign AY'nrshliiH to Prevent Interfer
ence by Greek Vessels.
Constantinoplk, Feb. 12. News from
Crete is growing more serious every day.
It is understood several embassies re
ceived dispatches that Heracklion is on
fire. In official circles here, the only
eolution of the Cretan difficulty is be
lieved to be European occupation of
tliac island.
It is understood instructions have
been sent to the .commanders of foreign
warships to prevent by force if necessary
any intervention by Greek warships.
A WMININO TO OBBKOK.-
Vienna Cabinet Bends King George an
Admonition.
New York, Feb. 12. A Herald spe
cial from Viennp says :
The Vienna cabinet has addressed a
most serious warning to Greece. It is
further learned from exclusive sources
that the powers have informed Turkey
that they cannot force Greece to with
draw her fleet, but will leave Turkey a
free hand.
Anarchy is reigning in Athens. The
ministry was only temporarily saved by
embarklug in a mad enterprise. Eng
land is accused of Becretly backing
Greece to force Russia's hand.
All the evening papers condemn in
the strongest terms Greece'a action.
Even the ultra liberal Tageblatt save:
'If King George is deaf to earnest re
monstrances, his irapotenoy must be
drastically brought home to him."
TheNeueFrele PreBse warns Greece
that if provoked Turkey would be justi
fied in attacking Thessaly with disas
trous consequences to Greece. The
same journal publishes a ,telegrwua from,
Constantinople showing that ,ch, whole
of the Cretan trouble was fomented by , a
Cretan committee at Athens, 'roost of
w"om are .deputy Romans, and, Dr.
ft8Kln, which has sent numerous emis
saries t0 orete, honeycombing the island
with seditious pamphlets... '
The majority of theCreUn population
remains passive notwithstanding the ac
tivity of the Greek agents. This last
Greek coup was not entirely unexpected
in diplomatic circles here, since repeated
Buapicious inquiries have been ad
dressed by the commanders of the Greek
fleet to the commanders of the ships of
other nations in Cretan waters as to
what action would be taken in Cretan
eventualities.
Turn Clay Into Gold and Silver.
St. Louis, Feb. 12. Benjamin Bra
zelle, a scientist and inventor, well
known among men of his class, claims
to have discovered the key to electricity
and the transmutation of clay into gold,
silver and iron, and to have perfected hie
diBcovery.to an extent that will revolu
tionize the science of chemistry.
Ilia demonstrations have been so satis
factory as to enlist the incorporation of
a company by a number of capitalists to
put them into practical effect. The com
pany has already started its plant at
Fuirlawn, in St. Louis county. It will
soon be completed and ready, its pro
jectors assert, to turn out aluminum,
gold, silver, iron and many other metals
not known to science, all manufactured
from common clay.
By actual test, it is stated, Mr. Bra
zelle changed silver to gold and gold in
to silver. The transmutation, he . says,
is an insignificant part of the discover
ies he has made a mere nothing in
comparison with the changing of clay
into gold, silver, iron, calcium, alumi
num, glacium and 15 other metals not
known to science and whose qualities
have not yet been determined by the
discoverer.
A Race With Death.
Chicago, Feb. 12. Six men had a
race with death on the lake last night
and won by a hair's breadth. They
were the crew of the big supply tug A.
0. Vanraalte. This tug carries supplies
to the crib off Sixty-eighth street, and
while returning to ber dock she sprang a
leak while bucking a tremendous ice
floe.
Then ior three hours the six men.
battled with tbe ice and faced death
while they were trying to keep their boat
afloat long enough to reach her dock,
The tug managed to get into Calumet
river, but the fire was dead. The men
were up to their kness in water. In an
swer tp signals of distress the fireboat
Chicago responded and took the crew
aihore.

San FrocUca
Insurgents Undfr Nnnrl Defeat Colonel
San Martlnas Guerillas.
Cincinnati, Feb. 12. A Commercial
Tribune special from Havana via Key
West says:
Major Frederico Nunez, the insurgent
leader in Pinar del Rio and some of Col
onel San Martinas' guerillas had a fight
day before yesterday, west of Las Man
gas on the military road. San Martinas
had charge of a large convoy of ammu
nition and provisions, going to San
Cristobal.
Nunez attacked the Spanish camp at
midnight. It was on tbe edge of a vast
field of dry grass. Nunez set this grass
on fire and the wind drove it right on San
Martinas' camp. The Spanish rushed
out to save their supplies, not suspect
inc a raid, whereupon the insurgents,
with cries of "Viva Cuba libre," dashed
in, dealing daath right and left.
The Spaniards offered a stout resist
ance, but after some sharp fighting,
broke and fled, leaving all their train
of supplies and pack horses to the in
surgents. Twenty of the Spaniards and
eleven Cubans were killed. The latter
however, lost Captain Medoro, one of
the boldest ecouts in Maceo's old army.
Mirandi, less than five miles from Ha
vana, was raided by the insurgents last
night, and ten houses wero burned.
The small Spanish garrison withdrew,
after firing a few rounds. The insur
gents looted the stores and escaped. No
casualities were reported.
I have given Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy a fair test and consider it one of
the very best remedies for croup that I
have ever found. One dose has always
been sufficient, although I use it freely.
Any cold my children contract yeilds
very readily to this medicine. I can
conscientiously recommend it for croup
and colds in children Geo. E. Wolff,

Gomez Agalu Defines the Attitude of
the Insurgents.
New Yokk, Feb. 12. A Herald dis
patch from the district of Sancti Spiri
tus, Santa Clara province, Cuba, gives
the following statements signed by
General Maximo Gomez:
"The enemies of Cuba have circulated
in the United States the rumor that I
am dispofed to accept autonomy as a
basis of settlement or solution of the
present war.
"The constitution of Cuba absolutely
establishes in its articles that peace is to
negotiated only on the basis ot of abso
lute independence of Spain. It is to ob
tain independence that we have been
fighting for two years, and will continue
to fight until victory is ours.
"All the statements which have been
heretofor, or may be in future published
to the effect that we are willing to accept
any other solution instead of independ
ence should be regarded as false."
A Cure for Lame liack.
"My daughter, when recovering from
an attack of fever, was a great sufferer
from pain in the buck and hips," writes
Louden Grover, of Sardis, Ky. "After
using quite u number of remedies with
out any benefit' she tried one bottle of
Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and it has
given entire relief." Chamberlain's
Pain Balm is also a certain cure for rheu
matism. Sold by Blakeley & Houghton.

New Yokk, Feb. 12. The Times'

secretary of the interior in McKinley's
cabinet, will be shifted from that posi
tion to the office of attorney-general and
that a new man will be chosen fpr the
interior portfolio.

mation is well known, is prominently
