The message announces that Prince George of Greece, Chief Commissioner of Crete, who been for some time In Athens, will return to his post tomorrow, but before going will issue an announcement that he cannot accept a renewal for another three-year term of his commissionership over Crete, and will urge the powers to let the Cretans' decide independently as to their future government.

It Is also announced today that the Crown Prince of Greece has been appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Greek army, with unusual powers.

2. 3 a. m. Spain has finally recovered sufficiently from the disastrous effects of her war with the United States two years ago to begin to think of rebuilding her navy. According to a Madrid dispatch, when the Cortes reassembles Premier Sllvela will submit credits for building eight battleships of 12,000 tone each in foreign yards, and six cruisers and 100 torpedo gunboats In Spanish yards.

English and Italian builders are competing keenly for the contract, for which a loan will shirtly be floated. 'Finds No Drake Estate. Debernardy, the well-known English gene- alogist, throws a damper on the hopes of John H. Daniels of La Crosse, who is coming to London to seek the unclaimed estates supposed to have been left by Sir Francis Drake. There are no unclaimed estates connected with the Drake family," said Debernardy yesterday.

"The rumor that such estates exist has been prevalent for forty years, but it is utterly without foundation. Periodically claimants to this supposed estate come to us, mostly from the United States, but the whole thing Is a delusion." The London creditors of the Duke of Manchester yesterday agreed to the estate being wound up Jn bankruptcy. Lord Sandwich will act as trustee without remuneration. It is stated that the liabilities will amount to about 1210,000, of which sum $43,000 represented the Duke's own liabilities. Of the remaining $165,000 Mr.

Boxall, who appeared for the Duke, said he regarded $50,000 as absolutely fictitious liabilities, while another $25,000 worth of debts he tnought ought to be looked upon with great suspicion.

23. It is said at the State department that no developments in the Chinese situation are expected within the next two weeks at least. The State department has not been advised officially of any of the events of more or less importance which are said to have occurred in China, according to various European reports, within the last twenty-four hours. If Prince "Tuan has been degraded and if Russia contemplates a blockade of the Chinese naval ports the department does not know the facts. BOXERS KILL THIRTEEn'mORE.

Swedish Missionaries Meet Death in Northern Part of the Province of Shan Si. -axmur ciarke.J LOXDOX, Sept. 29, 3 a. m.Gfrmany has receded from the radical position taken ten days ago, and has modified her proposals for dealing -with the Chinese crisis. According to a Paris dispatch to the Morning Post the Kaiser has modified his original views and has reached an understanding with France and Russia.

The correspondent eays: "An agreement on the Chinese program has been arranged between France, Germany, and Russia. It. will be submitted to the other powers within a few days. -The action recommended will be milder than Germany's original proposal, and It la expected that all the powers will accept the program." Shanghai Humors Plenty. The Shanghai correspondent has been busy again.

This morning he says: Some excitement has been caused by a rumor that Chinese steamers flying the British flag are conveying munitions of war from the Shanghai arsenal northward. It is reported that Russia has offered to advance money to China to repay the British loan." According to private advices received here from Nankin the southern Viceroys expect Great Britain and Germany to declare war on China, as there is no likelihood of China surrendering the authors of the anti-foreign uprising for punishment. Should such an attack be made the Tang-tse Viceroys must make a show against the country's enemies, though well aware that the situation is hopeless and though anxious not to sacrifice life unnecessarily. Meanwhile forces and provisions are being sent to Tal Yuan Fu, capital of the Province of Shan SI. The position of tne Viceroys is grave.

Outlines French Policy. M. de Biowitz, the Paris correspondent of the Times, has finally deciphered, in part at least, France's policy in China. "It is no part of French policy to break up the entente of the powers or to take upon Itself immediately in the Province of Tun-nan the responsibility of" such temporary occupation as has euphemistically, been ascribed to Russia in Manchuria," says he, but if the question of the partition of the Chinese Empire becomes pressing M. Delcasse would lose no time in treating Yunnan as Russia has Just treated Manchuria.

Today, too, there are even better reasons than there were forty-eight hours ago for believing that Germany; and the alliance have every intention of coming to an understanding with or without England and the United States. The French government has been sending troops to Indo-China as well as farther east, and, as your Pekin correspondent ihas pointed out in his famous book, the Valley of the Yang-ts is of paramount interest to the future possessors of Yunnan. Germany Interested, Too. It should not be forgotten that Germany, which has been mobilizing fourteen ships of the Hamburg and Bremen lines and transporting troops, horses, and war material by other steamers, as the Temps complacently reminded us last night. Is herself not without commercial interests in this same region.

It is evident we have in this situation supposing the question of the partition of China to suddenly arise the elements of a pretty entente. The powers should be ready created a flutter of curiosity in Vienna. According to the reports in circulation here tonight the Emperor will visit Europe next spring, coming in April. He is expected to visit first In St. Petersburg and come In May to Vienna, after which It is his purpose to visit all the principal capitals of Europe.

It Is said that the recent visit of Prince Kotohitq had for one of Its chief objects the arrangements for this tour of the Mikado. In diplomatic circles, however, the rumor is It Is pointed out that, the present crisis in China may result in a general war in which Japan would necessarlly be involved. Such a contingency would, of course, prevent a royal tourage to Europe. Frank Shepard, known throughout the United States as the originator of the Shepard Annotations," died yesterday afternoon at his home, 322 Oak wood boulevard. The cause of death was apoplexy.

In the morning Mr. Shepard went to his office at 1M Dearborn street feeling as well as usual and was busy there until noon, when he complained of a burring In his head. Several times while dictating letters to his stenographer he stopped and rubbed his forehead. It's an odd headache I have." he said. A few minutes after he first spoke of his headache.

Samuel H. Brooke of Austin, who has an office next to that of Shepard, dropped in, and. noticing Shepard, Insisted that he go home until he felt better." Shepard laughed at the idea, but Brooke Insisted and ordered a carriage. Before Shepard reached his home he became unconscious, and fifteen minutes after he was taken into his house died. Mr.

Shepard was 52 years old and had devoted his life to the publication of law books. Twelve years ago he originated the idea of numerical annotations for court records.

In well informed circles it is believed that Premier Waldeck-Rousseau is determined to carry through his project for another revision of the Dreyfus case. This may prove to be the wedge which will split the Cabinet, for It Is almost certain that President Loubet prefers to leave the Dreyfus affair where it is. MEN TO MONOPOLIZE BALLOT.
