The Dead Lie Unhuried by the Road
side. London, March 2S. The Daily Mail's
correspondent says that Admiral Cana
viro, commanding the international fleet
in Cretan waters, lias wired to the
Italian government to send immediately
a large land force, which is imperatively
necessary to cope with the Cretan in
surgents. Admiral Canaviro, it is said, asserts
that conditions in the interior of the
island are so terrible as the result of
famine that even the lepers are leaving
the lazar house; the inhabitants are
panic-stricken, and the dead lie by the
roadside unburied.
A Times' dispatch from Athens says
that when it became known Saturday
that Crown Prince Constantine would
leave the city in the evening for the
Greek camp at Larissa, to take com
mand of the Greek armies in the field,
a large crowd gathered on Constitution
square adjoining the palace. As the
evening approached, the crowd increased
to a multitude, and the stree's adjoin
ing were filled with au excited throne,
cheering, singing patriotic songs and
firing revolvers. The populace shouted
"For union and war!" and cheered
continually for the crown prince and
the army.
There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all othe diseaees put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be a constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrah Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
It is taken internally in doBes from ten
drops to a teasDoonful. It acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred ddllarB
for any case it fails to cure. Send for
