Tank a, Crete. Feb. 24. — Fifteen
Christians, including three nuns of the
Klias convent, were wounded by bom-
berdment. Five thousand insurgents
arrived within half an hour after fir-
ing commenced. The damage done
i was considerable. The French and
i Italian warships did not open fire, be-
I cause the Ureck 'lag was lowered by
; the insurgents before their turn came.
The English. Italian and Russian
\ consuls have returned from Selinos,
| .tccoinpanicd by 170 Mussulman fugi-
tives. They were unable to hold con-
i ferences with the chiefs of the bellig-
erents, who are conducting a war of
I extermination. Both sides have mu-
tually massacred prisoners. Two thou-
sand civilians aud '.'.*>0 Turkish soldiers
are resisting the advance of the insur-
gents with three cannon. Their posi-
tion is extremely critical. The consuls
proceeded to Canado on board ship.
'A'he Christians there, although advised
of their arrival, tired on the consuls,
in spite of the white Hag of truce
which they carried. The consuls re-
turned to Selinos. where the Chris-
tians • M.vtipied fresh positions.* Here,
also, the consuls were tired upon, the
shots falling all around the ship.

FOREST RESERVES.
More Thaa OI.OAO.OOO Acres of Tint hoe
l.and get Aside.
Washingto.x, Feb. 24.—President
Cleveland celebrated the 165th anni-
versary of the birth of (icorgc Wash-
ington by issuing thirteen executive
orders far reaching in their effect. On
the recommendation of Secretary
Francis and a forestry commission of
the National Academy of Sciences lap-
pointed by Professor Woleott (iibbs,
the president of the academy) the
president signed and promulgated
thirteen proclamations establishing aa
many additional forestry reservationa
containing an aggregate area of
21,279.400 acres, two-fifths the area of
the state of Kansas. Sonic of the sec-
tions are within the limits of railroad
grants, and in such cases the executive
proclamation only reserves the alter-
nate sections. "This is notably the
case iu the Priest River forest reserva-
tion. which the report of the commis-
sioner characterizes as 'the most val-
uable body of timber in the interior of
the continent. "
The secretary will submit to Con-
gress a bill authorizing the secretary
of the interior to indemnify the l en-
eticiaries iu any of these railroad land
grants, included within the limits of
forest reservations established by pro-
clamations of the President, by patent-
ing to them an cquul quantity of other
portions of the public domain within
specified limits. Thtfrsecretary further
shows that under the law authorizing
the President to establish the^e reserv-
ations. sixteen such reservations have
heretofore been set asides aggregating
an area of 17,500,000 acres.
