CANEA , March 25. At 8 o'clock this even
Ing the Insurgents succeeded In blowing up
the blookhouso In Malaxa with dynamite.
Thu whole Htiucturo Is now in flames and
the Turkish war ships are bombarding the
insurgents.
The fleet filed ninety shells upon the In-
Biirgouts around Malaxa , und toino of these
fell Inside Ihe blockhouse. Of the Turkish
garrison , numbering sixty-four , one escaped
to Ncrokhurl and eighteen others to Suda.
It Is believed that the others perished ,
ATHKNS , March 25. The news of the dy
namiting of the Malaxa blockhouse at S
o'clock tonight as the culmination of a day
of fierce fighting nnd a. prolonged siege has
made a tremendous om > utlon here. H Is
regarded as an event of far-reaching Impor
tance , both in Its effect upon the Insurgents
themselves and upon the Greek mind at this
tago of the crisis. It confirms the belief
generally entertained here In olllclal circles ,
as well as by the people at large , that the
Christians In Crete are not In the least de
terred by the blockade and not In t.'ie ' least
beguiled by the appeals of the admirals or
the Implied arguments of the autonomy
proclamation.
Advices from Canca as to the details of
the day's fighting show that the Insurgents
displayed the most desperate valor nnd left
the Turkish garrison of the blockhouse no
rhnlco but night. Evacuation by the Mos
lems was followed Immediately by occupa
lion by the Insurgents , who were close upon
the heels of the flying foe. To hold the
blockhouse in the face of a rain of shells
from the Turkish war ships in Suda bay
was impossible. The commander of the In
surgents having resolved thnt s they could
not keep It , neither should the Moslems ,
blow the whole structure Into fragments
with successive heavy charges of dynamite.
At 8 o'clock tonight the long-fought-for
blockhouse is a mass of burning debris and
the flames light up the blockaded waters
of the bay.
Immediately on receipt of ( Jic news Del-
yannls and the minister of war drove rap
Idly together to the royal palace , where
( hey had an audience with the king. What
happened there can only bo guessed at , but
ono thing Is significant. King Ocorge and
the cabinet have given the consent they
had withheld for the last four days to the
formal gazetting of Crown Prince Constan
tine as commander-ln-rhlef of the Greek
nrmy In Thcssaly and the decree will be
published tomorrow.
WAR APPEARS PROI3ABLR.
It Is undcrtitooit the crown prince will not
w.ilt for the actual appearance of his com
mission In print , but will start for the fron
tier at J o'clock tomorrow morning. The
departure of the crown prince , with the
full approval of the king and the cabinet ,
to take supirmc command nf the nrmy , can
Jiavo but ono meaning. The Greek govern
ment IB determined not to accept the terms
offered by the powers fora peaceful settlement
tloment of thu Cretan difficulties. Ills pres
ence among the troops Is certain to have the
most exhilarating effect upon them , and It
Is a notice to Turkey that If a conflict comes
the Greek troops will eiilor It under the
leadership of thrlr own choice. The step
thus taken ia momentous.
Thu military pieparatlons go on unceas
ingly upon n largo hcale. Contracts are
being placed abroad for blankets and clotJi
for uniforms , as well as other equipments
The Greek newspapers continue with one
voice to denounce the proposal that Prince
George should become governor of Crete ,
and It Is generally felt that the temper
nf thu people Ix such that thin solution
could not now bo accepted by the govern
ment , even If the powers are willing to ac
cept It ,
The news of Lord Salisbury's expected In-
tcrvluw with M , Hanotaiix has made a great
ensallon and It Is regarded as Uio only
possible ehanei ) of arriving at a settlement
which will avert war.
Already an agitation has begun for n re
turn ot the czar'n donation for the benefit
of the Cretan refugees. Mora than this ,
the proplo now demand that the clergy shall
ccaho lo pray for the r/.ir. Thousands of
dlgnalures arc appended to a protest by Cre

CANEA , March 25. The insurgents nude
determined attauU upon the block house , or
fort , at Malaxa , outbids of Suda , today.
During the night tbo Insurgent forces were
pushed forward until they occupied conven
ient position ! for attack , and about 6 it , in.
the artillery opened tire upon the Turkish
block house. The plcrea of the Christians
\\uro served with admirable promptness aud
jirecUlon , 90 that lu a short tlmo nothing re
mained lo the Turks but extermination or
evacuation. The Mussulmans , preferring
the latter , left tlio fort aud commenced a
retreat on Suda , relying upon Ibo Turkish Is
war t-hlps In the bay to save them from
tbo ChrUtlan * . Thu Bullau's licet opened a
badly JiultfJ flro upon ( ho Insurgents to
cover the retreat from the blork houses
The sheila fell elthrr thort.or far beyond the
Insurgent forces. Cone uor.tly ( ho Chris
tiana pushed forward steadily , presulug hard to
upon the rear of the Turks and keeping up
a continual skirmish fire , The Turks made
a stand now nd then , pouring a few vol-
loyu in the direction ot the Insurgent iklr-
xnlih lluct ) . The Insurgents succeeded la
pushing on nil far as the village of Tslkllarla ,
where Ihcy set fire to some houses.
Whtlo this fighting was In progress a de
tachment of Turkish troops , being unaware
of the fact that the garrison of the fort at
Malaxa had evacuated that place and was
retreating upon Suda , closely pursued by the
Christians , made a sortie from Canca with
a convoy of provisions Intended for the
garrison of Malaxa. From the route fol
lowed by tra Turks nothing coulil be seen
of the fighting In progress between Malaxa
and Suda , ano the Ottoman troops advanced
half way up to the heights upon which the
block house of KcratUI Is situated. Iut
whllo the Turks were unaware of the In
surgents' doings the latter had closely fol
lowed the movements of the Turkish column
escorting the provision and ammunition
train. Near Keratldl the Turks were met
by a body of Insurgents , who , from well-
selected positions , opened n fierce fire upon
the advancing troops. The fire of the Chris
tians slopped the advance of thu column end
tin Turkish commander took up the best
position possible In older to protect the
convoy and bend It to the rear If necessary.
At noon , as till ? ( Unpaid ) Is sent , the fight
ing between the Turks and Christians near
Kcratlll was still In ptogross and the result
was uncertain.
The Turkish garrison at Malaxa lost heav
ily during the ictrcat from that place. The
Insurgents arc numerous and occupy all the
hclghtR In thu vicinity of Canoa as far an
I'crlvolla , having captured the two last Turk-
loh fortresses. Only the llectH of the powers
prevent the entire success o * the Insurgent
cause.
Politically there Is no change In the situ
ation. The Cretan chiefs have definitely de
cided to refuse autonomy and will continue
the struggle until the union of the Island
with Greece Is acknowledged. The blockade
Is In progress allnlong the Cretan coast , but
this has not prevented several nmall Greek
vessels fiom landing ammunition und pro
visions. The Orcehciscl which was iiccl-
dentally captured by Austrian Runboato
which put Into harbor owing to the severity
of the weather , had nn board sixty-two vol
unteers and a quantity of ammunition.
Desperate lighting continued between the
Turks and the Chiistlana until a quarter
past 3 this afternoon , in and about Tslkl-
larla , not far from Suda , to which point the
insurgents succeeded In pushing forward this
morning whllo In pursuit of the retreating
garrison of Malaxa. The Insurgents burned
several moic houses of Tslkllarla , whereupon -
upon tlie warships of the foreign powers at
3:15 : p. in. began firing ut the Christians.
The bombardment , however , only lasted ten
minutes.

CONSTANTINOPLE , March 25. The
change In the policy ot Great Britain , fore
shadowed In these dispatches yesterday , has
assumed definite shape. The recent masb
sacre of Armenians at Tocat , the danger of
further outbreaks In Anatolia and the action
of the Porte In bcinl-offlclally pointing out to
the Turkish press and provincial ofllclals that
the blockade of the island of Crete by the
float of the powers and the support given to
the Turkish forces by the foreign Heets was a
triumph for the policy of the sultan , have
had their effect In showing that the Chris
tians In Armenia are lu danger of extermi
nation. Conbeqiisntly , it Is Heml-oillclally
otnted here , the British admiral In Cretan
water has been notified not to send any war
ahlpj of Great Britain to take part In the
proposed blockade of the ports of Greece.
At the same time , however , in order appar-
ently to avoid an open rupture with the
powers. Great Britain will acquics.cc In the
blockade of the Greek parts.
According to the reports In diplomatic cir
cles here the powers have already been
notlfl.'d to that effect and the withdrawal
of Great Britain from the blockade Is the
ono subject dlacussed today lu court and
other circles.
The uultan'd advisers are making the beat
of the situation by painting out the fact that
Great Britain does not constitute the whole
of Europe , and so long as the yuttun lias the
support o Russia. Franco and Italy he has
nothing to fear from Great Britain. It la
whispered that Franco will lu all proba-
mlllty follow the example ot Great Britain.
France , It is explained , could readily take
this step without disturbing to any apprecia
ble degree Ha accord with Russia , and It Is
added that In auj cnse the French govern
ment would not risk tuUing part in the
blockade of Greece , which would he an act
of war , without first consulting the Chamber
of Deputies , who approval of tbe coercion
policy is regarded hero as being far from
certain. It is stated Hint Great. Britain has
Intimated to the poworn that If Greece lu
blockaded Ktipfl should aho be taken to
blockade the principal Turkish ports. c
Tula latest mo\e of Gieat Britain In the
eastern game has undoubtedly called a halt
for tlio present In the coercive policy , and
may. It Is said , bring about It ? abandonment.
In the meantime , lu view of the Imminent
of a clas1 ] on the frontiers of Greece j
which may bring about a declaration of war
between Greece and Turkey , Great Britain
has definitely proposed to the powers that
steps be taken to Induce both Turkey and
Greece to wphdraw their forces bolt a mile
from the actual frontier , thus leaving a mile
of neutral ground between the opposing
armies. Greece , It Is explained , had previ
ously made u similar proposition to the
Turkish government , but the Porto consulted
with the ambattoadorfi of Russia und Ger- ,
many , seemingly the foremost friends of
Turkey at the present Juncture , with the
result that Urn representatives of these pow
ers advised the government to decline the lu
offer.
The Turkish squadron. It Is raid , has been wBt
ordered to cruise In the

LONDON , March 25. In consequence of
the efforts of the government of Massa
chusetts , the American Antiquarian and
Massachusetts Historical societies , the Pll-
grlrn society of Plymouth and the New Eng
land society of New York , backed up by the
desires of the archbishop of Canterbury and
the bishop of London , the consistory court
of the dloccso of London assembled today In
the old chapel of St. Paul's cathedral , In
order to determine the question of the re
storation of the log of thu Mayflower to the
United States.
The chancellor ot the diocese , Dr. Thomas
G. Trlstran , Q. C. , presided In wig and gown.
United States Ambassador
Bayard
was rep
resented by Arnold Stratham , a barrister ,
who opened the proceedings by reading a
petition from Mr. Bayard in behalf of the
president and citizens of the United States
which . . set forth the history of the book and
the J , presumptions as to how It came Into
the pcescfcslon of the see of London. It was
Elated that n precedent to the friendly act
was to bo found In thu action of the Phila
delphia library In 1SC7 , In restoring five
manuscript volumes which were only part of
the archives of England , for which Lord
Homllly , the then master of the roll , form
ally expressed the thanks of England.
Mr. Bayard's petition was cordially en
dorsed by the ) bishop of London. Mr. Strat
ham then called H. P. Lee , ; gal secretary
of the bishop of London , who undertook , In
behalf of Mr. Bayard , to uc'e every means
In his power to safeguard the log and de
posit the same tn Pilgrim hall , Plymouth ,
Mass. , or some other safe , place selected by
the president of the United States , and also
to deposit a photographic copy of the register
of the diocese of London.
Continuing , Mr. Strutham said that this
was an unusual petition , not brought by a
single person , but supported by a large body
of public feeling and the president and
numerous learned societies of the United
States. In short , he added , the petition was
brought by the whole of a great nation liv
ing ' In the greatest amity with Qroat Britain ,
and without even Mr. Bayard's undertaking ,
ho felt sure that America would so treat It.
This was of world wide Import , as It would
afely bo transmitted to successive genera
tions on national and public grounds.
The chancellor then spent ninety minutes
lu examining Mr. Lee , read long extracts
from the book , which he examined with n
magnifying glass , debating upon the obscure -
scuro dates , etc.
SHY ON GEOGRAPHY.
The chancellor asked If New England , was
part of Massachusetts and counsel nnd Mr.
Leo were unable to answer the question.
Thereupon , the chancellor said : "Is there
nobody present able to answer the question ? "
The question was then answered by n
representative of the Associated press , who
said that Massachusetts was part of New
England. The chancellor asked if Plymouth
was In Maea chusett.s , and the Associated
press representative assured him that It was.
Later the chancellor read a long argument ,
during which he set forth that the lo ; ; was
part of a large number of manuscripts In
Fulhami palace , relating to the English pos
sessions In the American colonlca ( which bo-
fora the declaration of independence formed
part of the diocese of Ixmdon.
In the history of the diocese , the chancellor
continued , there was but one precedent tea
a petition tuch ca this on the ground that it
was a matter of public Interest. In 1S53 , he
explained Lord John Russell petitioned the
diocese of London to restore to France the
will and codicils of Napoleon L The present
application differed from that of Lord RUE
sell , because the log of the Mayflower , being
a icglster of births , marriages and deatho ,
and ccnccrned the propel ty of the descendants
atai
ants of the pilgrims , their Interests must be
aiEC
safeguarded nnd the court would therefore
follow the custom prevailing when a new
dloccso Is offset from en old one , In which
case the register of births , dcathr. and mar-
rlaqcs was transferred to the new diocese.
rlII
He added :
IIB "I order , on the undertaking given by Mr.
Bayard to place the log In a lit place where
persons concerned can have access thereto ,
and a properly certltlced copy bclnij
| |
deposited at Fullinm that the orig
inal bo given up to Mr. Bayard
for transmission to the president of
the United States and that the copy of
th judgment under seal be bCit.wlth ( the
In whcne\er Mr , Bayard or some one of.
the United States embassy can attend. In
the meanwhile It will remain In the diocesan
strong room. "
After these proceedings , the representative
of the Associated press had an interview
with ( he archbishop of Canterbury , Dr.
Temple , who said :
"It was always my deslro when bishop of
London to restore the log , which has been
handed down by successive bishops and
which has alwayu been guarded lu the most
Btilct manner. In fact , Americans were so
fond of It , that my predecessors kept It In
secret drawer , to which the bishop only
had the key. I am glad the book Is returning
America. It will be another evidence of
our sincerity , admiration and love for
America and our desire to draw the two
nations closer together. "
The bishop of London will deliver the book
Mr. Bayard personally.

The Bee'u exposure of the boodle combine
which put the bill to legalize parnbllns
through the Elate senate Monday was the
talk of the town yesterday. While the
Information In regard to the passage
ot the Howsll Kunhllng bill by tiie
state . senate might have been a surprine
to tho.unlnlllatcd It was nothing new to the
local members of tha ( rambling fraternity
and such sportively Inclined Individuals ; B.J
ar ? familiar with the plans of the gamblers
to secure a larger liberty. It Is alee well
known to local politicians that the gambling
bill Is no new thing , but was planned early
In the last campaign. It was made an IIHUC
so far as the gamblciH were concerned arid
an effort was made to exact pledges from
candidates that they would not Interfere with
the proposed legislation.
Soon after the state convention n com
mittee representing the gamblers waited on
J. H. MacCol ! and auked him to agree that
he would sign a bill exactly similar to the
ono that has now been favorably considered
by the kcnate. Mr. MacColl refused to make
the required -promise and It Is known that
nt least a majority of the loadcia of the
Ramblers' organization Immediately went to
work to defeat Mr. MacColl at the polls.
They endeavored to Induce a large number of
cigar dealers and other small dealers through
the state who had sporty Inclinations , to
oppose the republican candidate for governor ,
and they at least rjuccecded In Inducing the
republican campaign managers to take vig
orous efforts to head off the movement.
BEE FIGURES CORRECT.
An Omaha gambler , who Is Intimately con
nected with the deal , I authority for the
statement that the figures given In The lice
yesterday relative to the amount of the
corruption fund are exactly correct. The
gamblcis raised $3,000 and a man who wia :
formerly one of the proprietors of a large
Omaha gambling house , was selected to di
rect the work of putting the daslred measure
through the legislature.
A prominent Lancaster county politician
Is represnting the legislative combination
and through him a pool was formed In the
senate to secure the p ssagc oE the bill , It
was designed to spend ? 2,500 of the buolle
fund In the senate and the promotora of the
scheme were assured that It could be ca -
rlcd through the hou-e very cheap. The
original conditions were that the $3,000 wcs
to bo turned over when the bill became a
law. Mora recently the leprcsentatlves of the
senate pool demanded that 20 per cent of the
amount should be paid in advance , the re
mainder to be paid when the bill become a
law. Whether or not thla request was ac
ceded fo is not stated , but the fact that the
bill was paVsed without opposition Indicates
that gome understanding wac reached.
It Is supposed that In addition to the
boodle behind the gambling bill. It had also
the Influence if nothing more of the West
ern Union Telegraph company's representa
tives In and out of the legislature. The
reopening of the pool rooms in this city
would mean .an extra Income for the tclo-
graph company of several hundred dollars
a day and employ a number of telegraph
operators receiving tha bookmakers' Mates
and the news from the race tracks. It is
knoivn that the Western Union would look
with favor upon any project that would
legalize the selling of pools , and for this
leason it la taken that Its representatives
were In on the deal.
The gambler from wham the above Informa
tion was obtained also stated that the bill
would positively have been passed v. Ithout
comment In both houses had It not been for
the exposure of the scheme by The Bee. An
It Is the gamblern have not abandoned the
fight , but expect that they will be able to
curry the project through.

1'nrtlnl i\plntiiUloii ot ( he
Developments In the Hartley embezzlement
case go to show that a portion at least of
the ? ,137,000 nhortage In the state treasury-
Is to be accounted for by money paid out
by Bartlcy for the political expenses of the-
campaign of Charles 13. Casey of Pawnee-
City , Neb. , the candidate for state treasurer
on the republican ticket last fall. That Bart-
Icy paid out state money for political pur
poses Is practically beyond question , al
though the precise circumstances and the.
exact amount of money cannot bo definitely
stated.
There arc two stories alloat respecting
Hartley's contributions to Casey's campaign
fund. The ono Is that Hartley paid Casey a.
sum ranging between $27.000 and $30,000
as a personal loan , to be used by him dur
ing the campaign In promoting his candi
dacy as Hartley's successor. The other story-
Is that this money was given to Casey In th
shape of n dcpralt in the Farmers' National
bank of Pawnee City , of which ho was the.
president , and was drawn out of the bonk-
as cl personal loan.
Owing to the complications arising from
these transactions , Mr. Casey haa been de
posed ae president of the Farmers' National
bank of Pawnee City , In which ho has been
succeeded by A. B. Edce , and for sotno
tlmo past has been In Chicago seeking em
ployment by which he may begin ano\Y to.
carve his fortune.
WHEN CASEY WAS NOMINATED.
During the contest for the republican nomi
nation for state treasurer last July It wts.
well known that State Treasurer Bartlcy
was backing the political aspirations of
C. C. McNlsh ot Wlsner , and while not
actually averse to several other candidates
ic was supposed to bo especially hostile to
the boom of Mr. Casey. Casey , In fact ,
represented elemcnte opposed to Bartley's
methods , and was profuse in his assertions ,
that ho had nothing In common with Bart-
loy. As the campaign progressed It became-
noticeable that Bartlcy'e friends were wheelIng -
Ing Into line in support of Casey , and Casey
ilmself had frequent consultations with.
Bartley , aa well au with bankers with whom.
Hartley was associated.
Mr. Casey Is know a to have spent , money
lavishly during his campaign , It being ra-
l.orted from reliable sources that he placgd.
$300 In the hands of a fclnglo gambler In the
Third ward of this city. It Is also stated ,
on good authority that he paid $1,000 to a
single woiker out at Grand Island , Neb.
Not being a man of wealth this lavish use-
of money by Cssey naturally excited the sus
picions of his friends and caused comment
among his townsfolk at Pawnee City. Tho-
statements of the Farmers' National bank
iftcr election began to show a decidedly un
favorable condition , and tbo business of the-
bank was appreciably affected. When the-
now offleerd of the bank were elected In.
January the name of Mr. Casey was quietly
Iropped , and the name of A. H. Edeo , who
iad formerly served 33 cashier and director
was substituted In Its place.
CASEY DENIES THE STORY.
Ab was tohave been expected , Mr. Casey
Icnlea that ho used stat * money , know-
ngly , for campaign purpofces. The folloft-
ing telegraphic Inquiry was sent to Casey
Chlcjgo by The Bee a day or two ago :
"Have Information that Bartley paid you
some $27,000 for use by you for campaign
mrpc.3es , and that that accounts for part
his shortage. Please wire us at once your
version fully. "
The only answer offered In response to
these Rtaitllng charges was the following :
"Chicago To the Editor of The Ileo : I
lave never had a dollar of Htato money. 1
cannot account for uch a report. Charles
. CaBoy. "
Ex-State Treasurer Hartley when ques
tioned by The Bee' Lincoln icpresentatlve
gave Information but little more satlafac-
ory. Hofeirlng to bin contributions to Iho
Cafoy campaign fund ho at first declared ;
positively that the money had been , de
posited in Casey's bank. He denies that the
noney had been a persona ! loan to Casey ,
nit denied It In a manner which did not
carry force. Ho then declared that ho would
lot dlflciiEB the matter at nil , but ventured
ho statement that ho had been aiuured by
asoy within the pa t- few days that the
nonoy would bo repaid within two wenka.
lo also ventured the Information that nano
the banks In which ho has deposited the
state school money would admit that they
iad any account with him-an Intimation
hat his deposits are In thu uamo of seine
other pcreon
HAHThEY HAD A LETTER ,
The day after State Treasurer Mcflcrvo

Jartley was experiencing trouble in turning

costed by The Beo'fl Lincoln reprcwsntatlvo

and State Treasurer Meccrvo were Kitting
along with the settlement. Ho talked as
usual about not being able to draw lila money
roni the banks for fear of creating a panic.
"inphasla to hlfl words lip drew from ilu
mckel u letter from whlrh ho read In nub-
atanco as follows : "I am going to Omaha In *
he morning and hope lo arrange the matter ,
Ut It Is hard to raise money now on any-
hlng. " Whllo theix ) may not have been the
exact words , they contain the purport of what
vas read. Bartley did not exhibit the iile-
nature to the letter , but eald It was ulgnod
Catcy. and remarked that any attempt
draw money cut of Nebraska banks would
create a panic which would "hunt" the mau
