Canea, Feb. 21. S p. m An engage
ment has just occured just above the vil
lage of Minrnies, between the insurgents
nd a Turkish band.
At 4:45 p. a., tue insurgents from
Akrotiri, having attacked the Turkish
garrison at Halepa, the joint fleet bom
barded the Cretans for 25 minutes. The
insurgents fled, taking their flag with
them.
Later reports are to the effect that the
English men-of-war opened the bom
bardment. The others followed. The
Kaiserin Augusta fired melinite shells.
The commander of the Greek man-of-war
Hydra cleared for action in case the
necessity should arise. Some shells fell
in the town of Canea, raising clouds of
dust. It is rumored several persons

were killed and wounded. When firing i
ceased, the Greek flag was etill flying j
over the insurgent camp.
Lo.vdok, Feb. 21. A dispatch to the
Daily 'ews from Canea, dated Sunday,
savs :
Smart firing was heard today in the
hills to the eastward. The reply of the
Turks was feeble, and it was obviouB
that they must abandon their position
if pressed. The gun practice from
the redoubt on the outer lines was ludi
crous. The chief Cretan position was a
hamlet on a ridge of bills 4000 yards
from the flagship.
At 4 :38 o'clock this afternoon (Sunday)
signals were made to H. M. S. Dryad,
H. M. S. Sparries and H M. S Revenge,
together with one Italian, one German
and one Russian ship, to open fire upon
the Cretan position were the Greek flag
was hoisted some days ago. The British
ships fired 40 and the foreign ships 30
Ehells at the village, and" ruined the
house held by the Cretans. The flag
was soon lowered, and the order "cease
firing" sounded after ten minutes.
Thereupon, the flag was soon rehoisted.
The rocks around were crowded with
Cretans. The Turks, encouraged by the
fleet, now opened a lively fusilade, while
the Cretans were removing the wound
ed. The CretanB had not replied during
the whole performance. It was a some
what melancholy epectacle.
bXUBBED BY ENGLAND.
Emperor Williams' Scheme Knocked In
the Ilead by Salisbury.
Lodnox, Feb. 20. The Cretan ques
tion is now foremost in the public mind,
and the newspapers publish columns on
the subject. The Marquis of Salisbury's
refusal to follow the suggestion of Em
peror William of Germany and blockade
Piraeus is warmly praised in England,
and his suggestion to the powers that
Crete be granted autonomy similar to
that of the island of Samoa is well re
ceived in many quarters, an affording a
solution of the problem which Greece
can accept without too great a aacrifice
of national pride. This proposition, it
is understood, also finds fayor in Paris,
where popular feeling is pro-Hellenic.
The Continental correspondents of the
Englieh newspapers all expatiate on the
pique of Emperor William at the Mar
quieof Salisbury's attitude, which open
ly dieplayed itself in bis laBt interview
with the British ambassador at Berlin,
while Count von Hatzfeld, the German
ambassador here, is reported to have
bad a heated conversation with the Mar
luis of Salisbury.
It appears that Emperor William per
sonally insisted to the foreign govern
ments the necessity of carrying out his
proposal. Thie action ie stated to be due
to his majesty's desire to overcome the
lelchatag-g opposition to bis .naval pro
jects. He decided to initiate a very ac
tive and stern policy, without having a
eb,P ' the Levant. The adoption of His
proposal to blockade Piraeus, would have
ken a personal triumph for the emperor,
and the opposition would have been
obliged to increase tho Germu navy, Jn
order to uphold the, national bpsor.
This scheme, however, was knocked on
the head by the Marquis of Salisbury's
opposition.
The Turkish government is uneasy at
the action of the powers over this ques
tion, fearing it might cause a break-up of
the European concert, which would mean
an immediate explosion in the Balkans
and the subsequent disruption of Turkey.
Opinion is universal that Crete now
will never return to the Turkish yoke.
The island will cither become indepen
dent or a part of Greece. The chief dan
ger now is a collision on the Thessalian
frontier.
The news that Turkey has ordered her
fleet to be mobilized was received with'
derision throughout Europe. One news
paper suggests that' the Turkish iron
clads are more suitable for oyster boats
than for fighting.

Cincinnati, Feb. 20. A special to the
Commercial Tribune from Jacksonville,
says :
Letters from Pinar del Rio today to
Colonel Corbe, give details of engage
ments in that section recently, in all of
which the insurgents were successful.
2sear Jaroeta, .Major P. Morales en
gaged San Martins' troops, and after a
two hours' fight, the Cuban machete
charge drove the Spanish from the field
in utter rout, they leaving 125 dead on
the field.
The insurgents decoyed the Spanish
into a trap in Jopeta Ewamp, and cut
their rear guard into pieces and routed
the squadron of 500 men, the Spaniards
losing over 200 men.
At the woods of El Tovlo was another
disaster for the Spaniards, Colonel Lo
rete defeating Colonel Martin's de
tachment of 600 men and forcing them
to retreat to San Juan y Martinez, with
heavy loss, leaving the dead on the field.
At Janta, the Spaniards made a plucky
fight, but the Cubans routed them after
three hours' fighting.
The insurgents secured 200 rifles and
1500 rounds of ammunition. Their loss
was less than thirty, while the Spaniards
acknowledged a loss o over 140.
Will Never Give lu.
Athens, Feb. 20. The Asty publishes
a statement made by the king to the
effect that he sent an envoy to one of
the powers and made every effort to call
the favorable attention of Europe to the
situation in Crete, but, with the excep
tion of the mixed gendarmes and the so
called reforms, nothing bad resulted.
Continuing, the king said:
"My patience became exhausted and
I decided to annex the island of Crete,
which body and soul is Greek. This
decision, perhaps, provoked the powers
to additional coercive measures against
me, but the whole of Hellenism is with
me. I have ordered my army not to
abandon the island under any circum
stances. Crete will be administratively
organized as soon as possible."

Buahnell tonight gave out the following
statement to the press :
"It has been my intention to make no
announcement in relation to the action
I would take in the matter ot an ap
pointment to fill the prospective vacan

Cincinnati, Feb. 20. A special to the
Commercial Tribune from Key West
says:
A report reached here late tonight , '
rumors at Havana of a big fight in San
ta Clara province, on Tuesday, between
1500 Spaniards and 1200 Cubans, under
Gomez, which lasted seven hours. The
insurgents cut down the Spanish forces
first with artillery and then with
machete; the Spaniards fleeing for their
lives in great disorder. The losses on
both sides were heavy, the Spaniards
losing the most men. The Cubans cap
tured all the ammunition, stores and
guns, including four field pieces, and
quantities of small arms. No details can
be had tonight, nor can the name of the
Spanish general engaged be learned.
A Cure for' Lame Hack.

from pain in the back and hips," writes
Louden Grover, of Sardis, Ky. "After
using quite a number of remedies with
out any benefit she tried orfe 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.

Washington, Feb. 20. The proposed
new battle-ship and the composite sail
ing vessel for the Annapolis cadets were
etricken from the naval' appropriation
bill today before the bill was reported
to the house. The committee consid
ered the items and struck them out by a
vote of G to 4, which was practically a
party vote, the Republicans present vot
ing to drop them and the Democrats to
tain them. Consultation with the
speaker and other members of the house
convinced the Republicans that there
would be strong objections to these
items. There was a proposal to provide
for a new torpedo-boat, but it failed.

Remedy a fair test and consider it one of
the very best remedies for .croup that I

been sufficient, although I use it freely.

at Canea, Crete, reports that the fighting
between the Turkish garrison at Fort
Voukolis, consisting of 300 soldiers and
