CRETANS ATTACK CANEA. ACTION OF GREAT POWERS. JOINT SQUADRONS OPEN FIRE. INSURGENT CAMP BOM- BARDED. DEBATE IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. A Central News telegram from Athena on [Friday evening says:—A British ironclad has preTenied the steamer Junon from disembark- ing provisioM) destined for the Greek Aimy in Crete. The news of this action, coming so soon after the case of the Thessalia, hag caused gtill further excitement here. It is, neverthe- less. asserted that disembarkation will be only forbidden on those stretches of coast which the Powers have under their protection. Two more classes of Reserves will be called out, in conse- quence of the aggravation of the situation. King George of Greece has openly proclaimed in favour of a policy of resistance. Military preparations are being actively pushed forward, and public enthusiasm is undiminished. Every- thing is being organised as if a serious outbreak of hostilities was certain. A Reuter's telegram on Sunday night "Y6 Two rounds of the blank were fired yesterday from the forts at the Greek gunboat Penena. A Turkish frigate also fired at the Penens, which replied. The frigate then drew off. A Central News telegram from Athens on Sunday, at eeven p.m., cays:—The Greek press continues to express surprise at the oonduct of British vessels, which it regards as inexplicable. The small steamer Laurium was to-day disem- barking munitions and provisions in the Bay of Kolymbari when it was stopped by a British torpedo boat and taken under escort to Canea. The German flag was immediately hoisted on the ramparts. The reason for this action probably lies, however, in the fact that it was not disembarking* provisions only. Th* Laurium was manned by twenty British blue- jaokete. GREEK COMMANDER WARNED BY THE POWERS. A Reuter's telegram from Canea on Saturday Bays:—The foreign admirals went to-day to Aghoioi Theodoroi, where Colonel ~Vasses' camp is situated. On their return they invited the commander of the Greek warship Nauarchos Miaulis to call upon them, and informed him of their decision to attack the Greek troops with the four mcnof-war anchored off Aghoioi Theodoroi if Colonel Yassos should advance in>o the interior. The comma.nder of the Nanarohos Miaulis and the British admiral then proceeded to the Greek headquarters and acquainted Colonel Vassos with the decision of the foreign commanders. Provisions for the Greek troops are being landed in Crete with the sanction of the Powers.
