THE INSURRECTION IN CRETE.

Meeting' in Hyde Park The Reply of Greece. Presß Aaaoeijjtion—JJy Mectric Telegraph-— I 1 - ' Copyright, ' LpspON, March 8. Several Radical members addressed a large gathering in Hyde Park to protest against the coercion of Greece by the Powers, March 9. ffhe Powers, in a note to Greece, state that their decision with regard to Orete is irrevocable, and they will not shrink from any measure of compulsion ii the Greek warships are not recalled within six days. To this Greece haa replied that the recalling of her troops prior to those of Tuikey would en* ganger the safety of the Christians, and the proposed scheme of autonomy would prove a failure. She emphasised her demand for union with Crete on her historic rights and common religion, She would be willing to withdraw her $eet if her troops were permitted to unite with the forces of the Powers in the work of restoring order. The Times states that this reply will not modify the judgment of the Powers, and is an attempt ,to justify Greek's conduct by sophistry which already refutes her action. Admiral Oanivaro, in command of the combined fleets, has notified to the Greek Vice-Oonsul that it ia necessary for him to leave Crete. The Admirals of the varidus fleets have asked, the Powers to send imme diately 606 men' to maintain order in the large towns. ' Reports from Oanea state that the Moslems at Oanctano are now moved tq places beyond danger. ''" Paris, March 8. M, Meline, the Premier, has stated that Franpe will pot take any steps towards applying coercion to Greece until the Chamber of Deputies has been consulted,
