Canea, Crete, Feb. 15.—The Greek flotilla is lying at anchor outside of the cordon which has been formed by the warships of the powers and will not be per mitted to conm any nearer. The foreign warships are practically blockading Itetimo and Canea. The reports that the Greek flotilla landed large quantities of arms, ammunition, etc., intended for the use of the insurgents during the night of February 12, or at any subsequent time, are absolutely untrue. The number of insurgents who are gathered around Canea is estimated at 12,000. They have only one field gun. The Turks under the cover of four of the guns of the fortress, made a sortie on Saturday upon the Halepa quarter of .the town, where a hot fight en sued, resulting in the Turks beibg being driven back by the Chris tians and compelled to ret're to the fortress. Alter nightfall, a force of 1,700 Moslems, regulars and volunteers, made another sor tie, which was stoutly opposed by the Christians. The fighting which ensued was of a more des perate character and the losses on both sides were heavy. The Mos lems finally returned to the for tress. It is thought that despite the vigilance of the warships of the powers the Greek transport ships may succeed in landing an expe dition in the Bay of Kissamo. Conventiou of Harmony Lodge To-nigtit.
