Athens. Feb. IT.—Despite the fact
that the greater powers have united
to restore order in Crete anil have
warned t.reece not to attempt any
further agression, an order of the min-
ister of war, M. Sinoleniti. has been
gazetted, appointing Colonel \ assos.
aide-de-camp of King George, com-
mander of the (ireek army corps
landed yesterday at Platonics, a short
distance from Canea. After explain-
ing that the action of Greece was due
to the fact that she was unable to tol-
erate any longer the "lamentable situ-
ation of the Christians in Crete, to
whom we are united by the
sacred ties of religion," the or-
der proceeded: "The government
consequently has decided to occupy
the island in the name of King
George and raise his dag over the for-
tresses of yvhich you will take possess-
ion. All your actions shall lie accom-
plished in coinformity with the tircek
laws, in the name of King tleorgc and
on the responsibility of bis govern-
ment. So soon as you have landed you
will publish a proclamation announc-
ing the occupation of the island by
the I ireek troops."
Colonel Vassos, after landing, issued
„ proclamation to the Cretuns an-
nouncing the occupation of the island
in the name of King George of (Ireeee
and calling upou the Turks to surren-
der to the Greek forces.
The reserves are rapidly registering
at the different military centers. Ue-
infurcemcnts of men, arms and ammu-
nition are on their way from Greece to
Crete and it is intimated that in due
course of time the marines from for-
eign warships will be recalled and
tireece will lie allowed to assume the
administration of Crete, possibly under
some restrictions.
The announcement that I rince
Nicholas will start for Urissu. Thes-
salv, with bis regiment to-morrow |
created great enthusiasm in military
circles, king George and the royal
family, with the government, an- in
the highest possible favor with the
people, and I'rince George is certain of
receiving grand welcome when be
returns tn the Piraeus with the tor-
pedo flotilla.
Tiir. rowr.ut' ohokm not obbykd-
Shortlv after landing yesterday at
Canea. the Italian officer who is in
command of the foreign force, by
agreement, issued an order addressed
to tlie commander of the Greek army
corps at Platonics, I olonel Vassos. til
withdraw his troops, and the insur-
gent* were called upon to cease hos-
tilities (lending the action of the
iiowers as to the future of Crete. lo
this the (Ireek commander replied: I
have come here with four battalions of
(Ireek tronp* with orders to occupy Ihe
country, and I must carry out my or-
der* pending further Instructions.
The orders of the foreign admiral*
living confined to preventing the land-
ing of Greek forces at Canea. Itetuno
and llerakllon, they could not inter-
fere with the Greeks under Colonel

Later an ofllccr of gendarmes whs
