The gar- rison consisted of 300 Turks, who had twelve Krupp guns and two Norden- feldt guns. Tbe guns, however, were trained seaward, and were useless to repel an attack from the landside of the fort. The blockhouse above the fort contained three hundred more troops, with two Krupp and two Nordenleldt guna. Beyond this position there was a strong stone wall, where the insur- gents were massed under tbe Greek side. It was impossible tu say which side began tbe fighting, but the en- gagement was in full swing at 8 o'clock in the morning. Tbe Turkish guns in the block-house took but a small pai-t in the fighting, but a Tur- kish frigate shelled freely, though with small success. An hour later the for- eign warships wurs ordered to fire. Tbe eign warshiiw were ordei'ed to fire. The Prussian warship Groeiastohy opened. She was followed by the British warship Ardent and the Austrian warship Ti- ger. Each* fired in turn, aiming chief- ly at tbe Greek flag. The fire from the Russian war.ship gradually demolished tbe whole wall, every shot from ber taking effect. De- spite tbe heavy cannonade the iiisur- geats held their ground sloudy, throwing out skirmishers and driving back the Turkish outposts, although th«y were compelled to abandon Ibcir own principal p(«ition lx?liincl the stone wall. The llritisb battleship Camperdown began firing SIX-INCH .SHELLS at tbe in.surgents, who thpr^-upon re- tired a Jill tie distance but continued a heavy tire for a quarter of an hour. When the Camperdown was at the rang* of G.tOO yards she opened with range of 6,400 yards she opened withi raniffl <>f 6,400 yards she opened with b'r thirl een-inch guns.

Tunings weire now too hot to last anid tbi? flsug was speeidily lowered and tSht? inBurgenls hastily retreated, while the Russian and Au.slrian war- .sbips fired with extremie acouracy a .succession of sbarpnals. lbs last, ahell was fired at 10.15 o'dloek. The Russinn and Austrian warshiips then steamed away txni Hlockade .service and th« Ar- dent round lo Suda. The Turks quickly sallied fortb and e.stabl>shed themselves in! tihe insurgent position, amid dem- onntfations of deiig'ht. They advanced across tbe open solace wilb great coulr ne-ss under a continuous fiure from f<hie Cretan sharp shoolers. who stood their ground until tbe last moment. They never budged until further resistance was out of Ibe. question. At 11.30 o'clock the Turks were pouring a roar- ing rifle fire into tbe retreating masses of insurgents. The latter replied with great spirit. Thfiir grand defence ex- cited the admiration' of all witnesses. It is evident that they were not dis- couraged by the odds against them, for they sent a letter stating that they intended to attack tbe fort at But- .sunjlria. In tbe evening of tbat day the fort was occupied by Europeaib troops. PECULIAR, NOT VICIOUS, When that Roy Uraws rp He Will Be Safe In Any Inxane CrImnilnnI <'onrt. "Yes,.

It has been truly said tbat every charitable institution in Greece owes its prosperity to Queen Ulga. The great Evangelismoe Hospital at Ath- ens, which she founded, is managed by her in person. Not a day passes but ber majesty, accompanied by one of ber ladiea-in-waiting, spends at least two huurs in the hospital, supervising everything, and especially visiting those among tbe sick who are of foreign birth, and who might fael themselves abandoned in a strange land. £very contributionâ€" however insig- aif leant â€" to the funds of the hospital passes directly through her hands be- fore reaching the treasury, and no mat- ter bo^v, busy she may be. she m<ikes a point uf ucknDw>ledging in her own handwriting each donation received. As an instance of her kindness uf heart it may be mentioned tbat she keeps on band a .supply of earth brought from Russia on purpose to be sprinkled on the coffion of those Russians who die in Greece. The Jimprees Frederick, too, has not only founded, but also assists and su(>- eTvisee many charitable institutions in Germany, but she devotes .special .at- tention and money to tbe hospitals for sick children, tenderly caring for tbe little ones in memory of ber husband, whose heart was particularly tender toward infant sufferers. It is Mf this trait in tbe emperor's oharacler tbat the sciulptor has taken advantage in the statue erected at Dua- at^dorf. A neKv ward hud been builti to the hospital for crippled children at that iillacfc. and "I'n.ser Fritz" waa at the Opening. One little cripple forgot its sorrow.

He bought two girts, aged ten and twelve yea<re. lAs he was taking them to the passenger l>oat for transport ^o Canton he {waa set upon by soldiers and arrest- ed for kidnud>ping. He appealed to the ma<gistrate, with tbe reiruit tbat bis captors were in turu made captives, babooed and finally driven oat of the Yamau.

First dogs and pigs began disappear- ing with marVielloos rapidity, causing lht< natives to lock all their slock is iMiildings. Left without means of sub- sistence, the huugiiy beasts gradually grRw bolder, and have since been at- tacking laborers in the forest and even l>euple in I heir dooryards. A half doz- en natives are known to have tjeen devoured. A Foo Chow paper stated that two tigerrs made a uoisu about a bouse which sounded like a knocking at the dooa°. When the head uf tha fauuily went to tne door he waa seized and eaten. When be did not return his son wvnt out to look fur him and shared Lhe^omc fate. It is feared tbat, having tasted humun blood, the tigers will l>ecuuie a source of permanent dan- ger. The terror-stricken people have barricaded their bouses, and the men will not venture out to work' except in small parties. NEW WARSHIPS.

'Ilhe heart is not always the delicate organ it is generally believed to be. Dr. Wiaiiam Turner records in the Briliib -MtHlical Journal, a few cases which |.<iiiil to the fad that wound* of f hi' hear! are seldom, if ever, immed- iately fatal. A child two years old wns t)r«ugb)l to him with a sewing needle ilriven into its heart, and the needle was extracted witbout evident hnrm rtsmltinB to the heart of the child. Aiiiuther case descrilied is that of a solilier in whose heait a bullet was fouiitl imlvdiled n'lx years after he had Iieeiv woumled. he having died from quite onotuer cause.
