Greece desires trnce be. tween Turks and Cretans rebels. I'nion Advocated. Berlin. The situation in Crete is en gaging the most serious attention of the German government and greatly absorb ing public interest as involving manifold dangers to the peace of Europe. It is 9ii open secret that the govern ment, iu the even-of any radical change taking place iu the relations between the islands of Crete ?. nel the p nte, will sup port a proposal lor the union of the island with the kingdom of Greece. In the meantime the question of the annexation of the Island of Crete to Greece is not one in which the Dreibound is vitally interested, though communica tions have passed between the govern ments at Berlin, -Rome, aud Vienna tend ing toward cone rted action on the part of the Dreibound powers in behalf of Crete, and the Greek government has asked the government of Geimany to join Greece in exerting pressure upon Turkey against the laltei 's throwing large rein l.ircements of Turish troops into the island with a yiew of wiping out the Cre tan revolt by sheer forcj of numbers. What Greece most desires at present is that a sort ol truce shall be established between the Turks and the Cretan rebels while the European powers confer as to means of a final settlement of the Cretan question. At preser.t the foree ol Turkish regular troops on the island W 7,200 men, and 1,800 additional troops are about leaving Salon ica and an equal number are on the evt cf departure from Smyrna to reiui'orce them. Opposing this force there are now over 20,000 Cretans under arms and they are being rapidly strengtliene 1 by GreeK vol unteers, w ho are w ell 'armed and possess ample supplies of provisions anel ammunition. This force is able to hold the entire isknd against the Tutks with the exception ef the fotlifiad towns. In an article discussing the immediate outcome ot the Cretan trouble the Vos sische Z :itung recommends the appoint ment of a Christian governor for Crete who shall ad minister the public affairs of the island under the supervision of a commissioner, who shall be a European. The Hamburger Naehriehteii, the organ of Prince Bismnrk, blames England for inciting the rising of the people ot Crete and suggests that the European powers 1 settle the Cretan Question concurrently with the Egyptian question in a way which w ill defeat the aims of the English government. Among the officially inspired Austro Huogarian newspapers the Pesther Lloyd expresses the same opinion as that advanced by the Vossische Zeitung, anel declares that there must be a root and branch reform of the public administra tion in Crete without delay.
