Paris, Aug. 8.—According to a din patch received here from Constantino- pie a division a/ the Turkish fleet h .* ! been ordered to sail for Cuneu, Island ; of Crete. If the statement contained in theCon- ■ stuutiuople di-patch alluded to is cor- ! reef, fresh trundle may be anticipated 1 in the settlement of tin* Graeco-Turkish 1 peace preliminaries. It has been re ported for some time that the Turkish j ish government was contemplating land- ; ing additional Turkish troops in Crete and on Thur-day last the admiral* in command of the foreign fleets in Cretan waters held a conference and decided ro oppose by force the ittnuittgof any Turk ish reinforcement* in Crate. They notified Ismael Bey, the Turkish civil governor, of the decision iuriv»d at. But tiie Turkish govenjor replied tiiat he could not accept such a deoi* ion. apparently taking the ground that the porte would persist in its intention | to reinforce the Turkish garrison in j Crete. A dispatch from the Dardanelles an nounces tha4 the second naval division ! of the Turkish fleet, consisting of seven warships, commanded by Harri Pasha, { has sailed for the Island of Crete. Fears are expressed her.- that the de parture of thVTurkleh naval division may leas! to a collision with the inter national fleet in Cretan waters, in view of the announcement of th« foreign ad- ' mirals that they have derided to oppose I by force the luudimr of Turkish reiu- forcements in the reland of Creto. : !»vvtl»#U*!p'11-tiitn ® Uofif * at Hi i w v, cotlicuf t, ( •Narrowly MlHsimr H^r. j R'.Cin.ON'ii, July 81.—John Willie, a cabinet maker by trade, attempted to i kill M - Al'dlio J-.’iki-is, whom hoi j loved.
