London March 8. A dispatch to the
Times from Athens at midnight says
that some of the members of the foreign
legations and other foreign residents have
already left the city and it is reported
that several of the legations have ad-
vised nil foreigners to leave Greece. This
has caused a painful feeling on the part
of the Greek public which regards it a
an unjustified step and with the excep-
tion of occasional affronts from .persons
of the lower class foreigners have been
treated with all respect and have nt no
time been in any danger whatever.
Moreover a majority of the foreign res-
idents are known to favor the Greek
cause.
Certainly the' disposition of the city is
very warlike but considering the excited
state of the public mind the people nre
behaving with moderation and exhibit-
ing great restraint. Trains nre bringing
in thousands of reserves from the prov-
inces and these are parading themselves
with their accoutrements. Squads of cav-
alry and batteries of artillery nre travers-
ing the public thoroughfares to embark
for Thessaly giving a peculiar vividness
to the scene. Great crowds join the sol-
diers In hurrahing for war and proclaim-
hie loyalty to Greece to King George
and to the government. . .
The decree summoning the remainder
f.f the reserves' is held back at the last
moment. The troons already on the fron
deemed siiilicient for the present
aud more than this it is believed that
the presence of foreign men-of-war near
the Piraeus indicate that the blockade
will commence today (Monday) severing
the rnimoetiou with the frontier by sea.
Memlers of the press nt Athens have
joined in n dispatch to Admiral Cane-
vari commanding the allied fleets ex-
pressing surprise that the lives- of for-
dents should be endanger
ed bv thrents of violence on the part of
tlio 'Mussulmans nopulnee and urging
the admirals to take whatever step
necessary to safeguard the lives of in-
offensive journalists engaged in the per-
formance of duty under the protection of
the flags of the six great powers.
PATRIOTIC CHICAGO GREEKS.
They Swear to Fight Bleed and Die for
Their Country.
('hicnirn. March 7. In the little Greek
church on the north side 500 trained sol-
diers of the Greek nrmy reserves this
morning swore to return nt the call of
their king to fight for their native hind.
The right hands of nil the men in the
audience shot up in the air when Father
Phiambotis the pastor of the colony
proposed the oath and their smiling
neighbors waved their arms wildly in the
air as they pronounced "before Almighty
God to defend thoflag and soil of Greece
from the touch of the enemy; to obey the
commands of the king and his captains in
all thiugs; to die rather than give way
before the face of the enemy and to hold
themselves in instant readiness to em-
bark for the Piraeus when transports
.should be provided to carry them to the
city of the king."
Before the oath was given the priest
explained to the excited men the appeal
which King George sent to the Greeks in
America calling on them to rally to their
country. The king wished his people to
arrange their affairs and be in readiness
to go as soon as final orders should come.
The work of enrollment continued during
the afternoon and evening all over the
citv under the direction of the Greek soci-
eties and it is said l.'.OO or 'MM will be
ready in a day or two.
AN ACCEPTABLE PROPOSITION.
London March 8.-There Is no doubt
says the Athens correspondent of the
limes that if Prince George of Greece
was placed at the head of an autonomous
Crete government with the title of prince
the whole Greek nation aiid Cretans
would willingly necept the proposals of
the nowers and the Greek troops would
be withdrawn.
J'Sueh a scheme therefore" says the
Times' corresnondent. "ouclit not to be
rejected without the gravest reasons. The
Cretans nre susuicious of the promises
of Europe and firmly believe that there
is no other course open than union with
Greece or Turkish rule but doubtless
if a choice was offered them their choice
would be for nutonomy under a Greek
prince.

that in addition to the grounds of putting

Representatives of the Powers Asking

London. March 8.-King (''Tf-'' of
Greece has sent to Sir Charles Dilke n
telegram conveving his heartfelt thanks
to Sir Charles nnd other members of t ie
house of commons who signed the tele
gram sent to the king from the nouse
hist week assuring the king and the
Greek nation of the desire of themselves
nnd of Englishmen and Irishmen whom
they represent for the success of. the
Greek cause in the Cretan einbrogho.
There was a lively interchange of te -'grams
between the European chancel-
lors yesterday over the rejection by
Greece of the proposals of the powers
nnd as to measures to bo adopted.
The correspondent of the Associated
l.ress learns that the admirals at the for-
'jgn fleets suggested that the blockade
should include the Greek ports as well
as the Cretan.
So far as Germany is concerned there
are some signs of change of attitude

lost contain statements apparently in-
spired that it would be impossible for
or Germany to hold out in her conten-

passenger on
board the Mascotte from Havana reach-
ing here Saturday night on route for
Tampa. She was accompanied by her
daughter. Mrs. Agrainonte. is a widow
02 years old and lives nt Puerto Prin-
cipe and has five sons now fighting in
the Cuban army. She informed the cor-
respondent of the Associated Press that
the chief of police of Puerto Principe
.-nlleil liiioii her and told her that the gov
ernment had ordered her arrest and con
ducted her to prison where she was con-
fined in a small cell with eleven other
prisoners. Her relatives fearing that on
account of her advanced nge she would
not be able to endure this harsh treat-
ment offered to pay the authorities for
better accommodations for her. These
offers were received with sneers. Her
relatives were told that anything was
good enough for n Cuban and they were
asked whv Mrs. Agrainonte should get
iinv better treatment than the rest. Her
daughter's appeal to be allowed to see
her was refused.
"Mv sufferings." said Mrs. Agrainonte.
"were intense. After remaining in prison
twenty-nine days I was sent to Havana
and there confined in a house of refuge
for women of nil classes. The crowded
condition of this jail made it worse than
the Puerto Principe prison. After three
davs' confinement there I was released
anil after having been vaccinated and
niter having undergone the quarantine
regulations 1 was permitted to leave on
the Mascotte. There were no charges
preferred against inc. and I can think of
no reason for my arrest except that my
sous are fighting for free Cuba. At the
time of my transfer rrom rue i ueiiu
Principe jail two other ladies Marie Agu-
ter and Gabricllo Varona were . liber-
ated." LONDON FINANCES.
London March 7. Money rates during
the past week were decidedly easier
though a reduction in the bank rate has
been prevented by the Cretan crisis
which keeps business nt the Stock Ex-
change very much restricted. Continent-
al bourses have sold heavily and al-
though there have been few transactions
the prices here have been forced down
accoidinglv. Greeks Turks and Bulga-
rians have fallen from 2 to (i points and
Italian and Spanish 1 1-2 points. In
fact all foreign securities show more or
less of n decline. Argentines nnd Brazil-
ians have fallen from 1 to 2 points. I'ru-
guavans have fallen 3 points on the score
of reports of revolutionary outbreaks.
With very few exceptions home rails
show n decline of from 1 to 2 per cent
and African mining siviTitics are still
falling. Unless the downv. aid movement
is arrested serious trouble is inevitable.
Americans nre also depressed though
not to the same extent. President Me-
Kinlev's message had little effect on the
London money markets whose tendency
has alreadv been discounted. It is be-
lieved that but for the Cretan trouble
mericiins would show n substantial rise
on the strength of general improvement
of business in the United States. 1 ho

crease: .Lake Shore. 9: New York . Cen-

COW MEN EN ROUTE
Kc.rt Worth Tex.. March ('..-(Special.)
The first contingent of cattlemen for
the Sau Antonio meeting left here to-
night. The Katy ran a six-c-'uil train for
the accommodation of its patrons. The
Santa IV and Central also did a share
of the business. It is estimated that fully
otMKJ -eople will leave this point tomor-
row for the Alamo city.
That the coming convention is going
to bo one of the most interesting as well
as largely attended ever held is already
evident. The executive committee of the
Cuttle Raisers' association of Texas to-
night completed its annual report. Pres-
ident Bush nnd his committee leave here
bv sii(cial tomorrow night. The Chicago
Kansas City Omaha and St. Louis con-
tingents will pass through tonight mid to-
morrow in special 'cars. Each point
mimed sends larger and more representa-
tive delegations than ever before. Eort
Worth will send a large delegation of its
most substantial business men with a
view to making if necessary an aggress-
ive right to bring the body to this city in
l.K!IS. At this time it is difficult to fore-
enst with any degree of nccuriicy the na-
ture oi the work to engross the attention
of the body.
The only thing about it is thac they are not absolutely fresha few are
even damaged; there is but one pair of a kind and as at any of the prices
here are fine and finer it will be strictly the case of the earlier the bet-
ter. They will be placed on sale this morning at 8 a. m.. and continue
