Utterly Uunble to Straighten Out the
Greek Tailzie.
London, April 3. It is just a month
since the so-called concert of the powers
threatened the bloekake of Crete, which
1ms proved quite ineffectual, being con
tinually evaded, and today the anarchy
in Crete and the confusion in European
counsels are worse than before.
The replies of the parliamentary sec
retary for the foreign office, Mr. Curzon,
to inquiries on the subject, show it to be
by to means eertuiu that all the powers
have actually agreed to blockade the
Greek ports.
The latest news indicates that France
and Italy are still adverse to this course.
The fact is that the powers' distrust of
each other reduces them to impotence.
None of them wants a general war, no
body being able to foresee what is even
tual result would be.
It is believed that Eussia and Ger
many, and perhaps Austria, want a lo
calized war, hoping that Turkey being
victorious will lay Greece at the mercy
of European dictation. In the mean
time, the two combatants, as well the
powers, hesitate to incur the odium of
commencing the conflict. Germany's
attitude in setting on the other powers,
while herself abstaining irom any active
share in the struggle, is univereally con
demned as being a disgraceful diplo
matic betrayal.
Ruesia is evidently playing her own
game, and while willing to send to Crete
whatever troops the other powers sug
gest, she hopes that the blockade of
Greece will incite the Greeks to hostilo
action on the frontier, something that
seems extremely probable, as the king
of Greece stoutly maintains his original
determination, and the premier, M.
Delyannie, declares that nothing will
prevent war if the powers persist in re
refusing their consent to the union of
Crete and Greece. Russia is confident
that Greece will loose the firet battle,
und that Bulgaria and Servla will not
move except at Russia's orders.
The admirals of the foreign fleets in
Cretan waters cintlnne daily atking for
definite instructions from their respective
governments They have urgently ad
vised the appointment of a European
governor, as they are incapable of ruling
the island.
It is a romarkable fact that Colonel
Vassos and the Greeks inspiro the great
est sympathy among all the foreign cor
respondents, the futile measures of the
powers being daily denounced.
Mr. Gladstone has written another let
ter on Cretan affairs, and with reference
to the concert of Europe. He says the
attitude of the powers recalls the days
of CaEtlereagh and Metternich, when
Greece was unable to buy armaments in
Europe on credit, while Turkey had no
difficulty whatever in doing so.
It is stated that Greece will try to
raiee an internal loan of 1,000,000.
The reports that Greek insurgents
have already ciossed the Macedonian
frontier turn out to be incorrect.
A well-informed diplomat at Vienna
declares that the powers are determined
to maintain the blockade of Greece if
that nation declares war, and thus de
prive her of oue of her most formidable
means of attack.
A report from Athena says that a son
of Admiral Harris, the British com
mandor in Cretan waters, has arrived
there as a volunteer.
It is understood Russia has stopped
Turkey's negotiations to sell the island
of Crete to Greece by a threat to occupy
Anatolia if the negotiations are per
sisted in.
I'hlladelplilu'M Mission to Hawaii.
Washington, April. 3. Regarding the
ulterior motive of the administration in
ordering the Philadelphia to Hawaii, it
is reported from good sources that
despite the pacific assurances of offi
cials, there is much more significance In
the order than the administration cares
to have the public know at this time.
In official circles here it is taken to
mean that the administration is favor
able to annexation, and the departute
of the Philadelphia is the first step in
that directum. There is nothing in the
political situation in Hawaii to justify
intereace by the United States in the re
lations between Japan and Hawaii. A
course of action which would prevent
the Japatiese from getting control of the
islands would, however, be necessary in
the probable event of a conclusion of a
treaty of annexation with the Hawaiian
republic.

which cross the river at this point.
Over three miles of each road has been
washed out thus far, placing Yankton
without railroad facilities. The river is
still rising rapidly here. General de
struciton throughout the Jim river
valley is predicted. Farmers as a rule
have vacated their homes and farms,
and those remaining are being moved by
boats. It is thought that the worst of
