EKS CLAMOR FOR WAR Crown Prince Constantine Starts for the Frontier of Thessaly. WILL COMMAND EKING GEORGE’S FORCES. Scenes of the Wildest Sort o Enthusiasm During the Departure. INROADS OF THE INSURGENTS OF CRETE ISLAND. Mosl-ms Fear That the Powers Cannot Protect Them if Assailed by Vassos” Troops. LONDON, Exc.,, March —The Sun will to-morrow publish a dispatch from Athens saying the Crown Prince Con- stantine finally started for the frontier of Thessaly this evening. There was & pathetic parting between himself and the members of his family, they seeming to fully realize the import of the undertak- ing. The fact that he was to leave to assume command of the Greek forces which are now confronting the Turks on the frontier became known to the public some time previous to his departure. The streets in the vicinity of the palace were jammed with people, who trantically ac- ciaimed the Crown Princs when he ap- peared. The everywhere displayed, and the crowds shouted for war until they were hoarse. CANEA, Crere, March Notwith- standing the support farnished the Turks by the foreign fleets, the Christian insur- gents have captured all the strategic posi- tions around this city except the town of | Outsonnaria, which commands the spring that supplies Canea with water. Special efforts will be made to prevent the capture of Outsonnaris, for it it should fall into the hands of the insurgents they would, by being uble to cut off the water supply, be practically masters of Canea. Cahnonading was heard throughout the day in tle direction of Alikianu, where is situated the camp of Colonel Vassos, the commander of the Greek army of occupa- tion. The firing added to the fears of the Moslems here, who tnought that the insurgents and Greek troops had combined and would make an attack upon Canea. The Moslem refugees have little faith in the ability of the powers to save them ¢hould such an attack be made, but there is_really scarcely any danger that the Greek troops will advsnce nearer to the town than they are now. No explanation of the firing has been given. e MUCH MISCHIEF AHEAD. balisbury’s Cretan Policy Opposed by Leading Statesmen. LONDON, ., March 27.—Prim@ Min- ister Balisbury. who started Thursday for Cimiez, where Quoen Viétoria is sojourn- _wildest eushusiasm was | ) ing, will stay in the south of France sev- | eral weelgs. There he will guide Great | Britain’s diplomacy in silence, having | | neither the Cabinet to consult nor the | | ovinion of the couniry to consider. Con- | | servatives and Liberals aliie are fretting | | under the prolonged reticence of Lord | Salisbury in di-closing his Eastern policy. | The Radicals are very indignant and are | trying to raise a popularagitation, which, | if Parliament were approaching its naturai | term, woula work no end of mischief to the Government. It may be no fault of Lord Salistury that he does not explain | his policy clearly to the British public. | Prudence may excuse his silence, but on | all sides it is felt that his persistent ignor- | ing of the demands of members of the | House of Commons for information as to bow Great Britain exactly stands toward | the European powers is largely due to his | | known contemnpt for popular opinion when | Le thinks he can afford to show it. Safe in the confidence reposed in him |ty his majority in both houses, he can | Fut up bis colleagues in the lower house | to evade questions or decline to answer, snd to balk debate on points which are | ¢f the most momentous interest to the | country. It has been often stated that even Cab- iset Ministers are not in Lord Salisbury's confidence. He is understood to consult vith or communicate to Baifour, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, Chamberlain and the Duke of Devonshire all important steps he may decide upon. But even this ianer Cabinet has little or no power in suaping his policy. There probably never was a Prime Min- ister or Foreign Secretary in English Par- liamen tary history who o entirely played | “off his own bat'’ and who staked the in- | terest of his country with so little defer- | ence to the opinions of his Cabinet. The dissatisfaction in Parlisment only | partly reflects the discontent throughout tue country. More and more the tide of sentiment is rising in favor of Greece, which is even in pronounced Unionist papers declared to have been vith scant respect, justice and human- ity. The general discontent has been intensified during -the. .current week by the prospective mixed occupation of Crete turning out be not the pacific mode of settlement which the diplomatic jugglers promused it would be; and by the persistence of Greece in asserting herself against the Porte and the powers. The occupsncy threatens to be a very mixed affuir, with no common plan of operations, disliked and misunderstood by the Cretan population and carried out by the troops, the best portion of whom detest their work. Asthe pioc2ss of pacification develops the prospect may brighten up. But one| of the first measures proposed to give | Crete a chance of internal peace—the con- | stitation of an autonomy under a compe- tent chief—is not within sight. The few reliable press correspondents who are wir- ing from Canea and other points coneur in stating that autonomy means to the Cretan Christians the root and branch extirpation of the Moslems and among their notables a free acquisition of more iand. Massacre and spoliation are described as the first principles of Cretan patriotism among Moslems and Christians alike, though it must be acknowledged that dis- plays of this sort of patriotism have here- tofore been a special privilege of the Moslem population, upheld by Turkish bayonets. The Paris Journal des Debats to-day publishes a letter from an ofticer of the French squadron which shows, if true, an awful condition of affairs. This offi- cer declares that the facts he set forth in his letter are vouched for by the sur- geons of the cruiser, who are performing duties ashore. He declares that many Moslem children of tender age have been violated by so- called Christians, that bpys have been frightfuily mutilated and babies siashed with sabers. He adds that in war the Cretan Christians resembled wild beasts. ‘The tremendous difficulty of govern- ing on civilized meathods such a people has exercised the minds of Lord Sal | | | | | | | i | | | | than it has the statesmen of the other European Governments. The lead of English and French opinion is so distinctly in favor of appointing a Greek Prince to administer Cretan affairs, that neither Lord Salisbury nor the French Minister can risk defying it Russia bas aimsof its own apart from justice to Greece or the pacification of Crete. So, while the proposalsof Eng- land have successively had reference to the nomination of Prince George of Greece and to Prince Mavrocordato and those of Framce to either of these or to Prince Waldemar of Denmark, Russia, with its imperial supporters in Ger- many and Austria, has put forward first Boso Petrovitch and next Prince Danilo, both Montenegrins in the actual pay of the Czar. Undoubtedly the selection of a Greek prince as Governor would help to appease the Cretans. There are now 40,000 of them under arms, capable under Greek ofticers of offering desperate resistance to a much greater number of troops than can be em- ployed under the mixed occupation. 1f the Cretans feel obliged to fight the occu- pation will end in a bloody fiasco, and with Greece at bay against the Turks on the frontier the European mess will be- come worse than ever. The news from the scene of trouble in Southeastern Europe is very unsatisfac- tory in character and is full of contradic- tions. It is reported that the powers bave agreed to blockade the Greek coast, and that King George of Greece has an- nounced that such a blockade will be the signal for «ffensive operations by the Greek troops. Germany is reported to bave withdrawn from the combination of powers, and Russia is said to be dissatis- tied. In the meantime the forces of Greece and Turkey on the frontier are being strengthened, and there seems little chance of & neutral zone being agreed on, e o i GREEES ARE JOYOUS. Compltoations of the Powers Only Aia King George’s Cause. NEW YORK, N. Y., March 28.—A special cable to the Herald from 8t. Peters- burg says: The Greoks are overflowing with joy at every one of the further complications which follow the efforts of the powers to establish order in Crete, and reports are made that this sentimentof exultation has given rise toastrong feeling that Greece has been enconraged in her refusal 1o aid the powers by their overindulgence, and in consequence a policy of greater severity will soon be forthcoming, even if one power were to fall out of the concert. The Novoe Vremya, which now repre- sents fairly Russia’s fixed policy, says: “The blockade of Greece musi be has- tened, even if England stands aloof. All means are good to bring good sense home to the Greeks. “The only danger is in a conflict be- tween the Greeks ana Turks. We must let the Greeks know they must renounce that desperate step and zive up ambitions for which they started the Cretan agita- tion.” — . AID FOR GREECE. King George’s Friends Among the Sultan’s Sublects. The condition of affairs in European Turkey is such as may well cause the greatest anxiety on the part of those dip- lomats who are bent on averting tne threatened strife, and for the nresent at least preserving the integrity of the Turk- ish empire. en 1869 the Sultan threatened Greece with war unless she withheld her sympathy and support from the Cretans, then engaged in a struzgle for liberty and annexation with Greece, the latter coun- try was comparatively weak, and to at- tempt to cope with the overwhelming odds without the support of one or more of the other European countries would have been but to invite invasion and a repetition of the scenes of barbarity and destruction that characterized the war of independence from which she had ye hardly recovered,and would probnbly have bury and M. Hanotaux more, perhaps, involved her independence itself, When THE STONE LL HD TRULYLAD With Trowel and Ancient Rites and Corn and Wine. AFFILIATED COLLEGES WILL SOON RISE. Addresses Bidding Go’speed to the Latest Educational Advance. FX-MAYOR SUTRO GIVES THE GIAD HAND. And Mayor Phelan, Arthur Rodgers, President Kellogg and Others Add Their Ccngratulations. Under a leaden sky in a drizzle of rain, with aull gray clouds drifting in over the Golden Gate, with the white teeth of the surf gnashing at the foot of Point Bonita, the cornerstone of the Affiliated Colleges of the University of Cagifornia was laid yesterday afternoon.

Lent, grand pursuivant; James Oglesby, arand tyler. : ‘The copper box deposited in the stone contained the following articles: History of the University of Californis; biennial report of the president of the univer- sity, 1895-96; report of the secretary of tne Board of Kesents, 1896; register of the uni- versity, 1895 96: ‘announcement of the medi- cal depariment of the university, 1896-97; announcement of the Hasungs Coliege of Law, 1895-96; announcement of the College of Denusiry of the University, 1896-97; pros- lifornia Colicge of Pharmacy, < of the California Veieri- nary College, 1897; copy of act ot Legislature appropristing money for erection of build- ings; coby ol deed of Adolph Sutro of site; photographs of buildings and site; pro- | gramme of exercises of the day; constitution and regulations of the Grand Lodge, F. and A.

Nichols, D.D., Martin Kellogg, president of the university, spoke as follows: A university cannot be fully organized with- out piofessional schools. It exists for study, but studies must give preparation for life. Higher education usually leads to an sctive life wors. The majority of students enter the Proiessions. There are nowadays many new vrofessions, Lut the oid oues still hold their piace of honor. Theology cannot be taught in s State but law and medicine can be ght and should be taught. Their special dies should be of a hirh cheracter. of of California bas been ready to welcome affi fated professional colleges of law and medicine; the latter piofession hav- ing also thrown off other branches of medical and surgical . The uuiversity has not confined its welcome to these; it has a place in its family for art and specialized science, as at Mount Hamilton, and the higher practical applications of scienice 10 the business world and to public life. But the university claims a foremost place for law and for meaicine, both in its original branch of science and in its later establisbed branches. Years ugo an effort was made to provide our coileges of law, of medicine, of dentisiry and of pharmacy with a suiteble common home. Each of these was yigezous and- growing, but unable to secure the best accommodations. A request for aid was made to the State Legis- lature. Twice it received favorable treatment from the two houses, but was not welcomed at the executive threshoid. Two years ago this request was repeated and an_approvriation of §250,000 received the signature of Governor Bu Sill, a site was needed, and thero was a It was “the gray day” beloved of the further delay. Then came the offer of Adolph A General View of the Laying of the Cornerstone of the Affiliated Colleges. the representatives of the great powers of Europe therefore in the conference at Paris January, 186y, declared thatin case of war between Turkey and Greece their respective countries would remain simple spectators and preserve a strict neutrality between the two, Greece bad nothing left todo but submit to the de- mands of the Porte to leave Crete to the further mercy of Eurovean diplomacy and Turkish pleasure and bide the will of providence. The eighteen years that have intervened since then, however, have wrought great changes in the power and resources of the two countries, and in a struggle between them the odds would not be o very great and probably in fivor of the Greeks, backed as they would be by the sym- pathies of the peoples of Europe if not by their Governments. Since 1869 the resources of Turkey have decreased, while those of Greece have steadily grown. In 1869 Turkey in Europe included more than three timens its present. area and population, the various events culminating in the war of 1877-78 with Russia, and the result of that war took from the Sultan two-thirds of his European domain, with a like proportion of his subjects, and his rule in Europe is now confined to an: area of about 64 000 square miles, with a population of less than five millions. * In 1869 Greece had s population of 1,300,000 only, and her northern boundary ran coincident with the southern bound- aries of Thessaly and Epirus, giving her Quntinued on Fourth Page artistic soul, and from the college site lay a panorama of entrancing loveliness which can nowhere else bé found at the feet of any of the other great or small cities of the United States. The masses of cypress, pine and euca- Iyptus woods hiding the smooth roadways of Golden Gate Park spread attractiveiy in the foreground, with Strawberry Hill in the west, coliseum-crowned, and be- yond lay the Golden Gate and the leaden- colored waters of the Pacific, over which loomed through the flying mist the scarred blue peak of Tamalpais and green hills of the Marincoast. Because of the rain not many people came to the site. Iiven Governor Budd, who takes so great interest in the univer- sity, remained away and sent the I.ieu- tenant-Governor to represent him, which he did humorously and modestly, and was cheered forit by the boys. They seemed to take a great liking to the practical-looking man from Santa Cruz and gave him the college yell Tustily. The Ancient and Honoravle Order of Masons, many of whom were anciant in ears, braved the rain and marched Yold- ly up the steep siopes from the Haight- street entrance to the park to the coliege site, made gay with s and gold and with flags of tions, making rainbows on the dark green background of cypress and pine. The ceremonies were interspersed with music by the band and singing by the Masonic_Choir, composed of Samuel D, Mayer, J. R. Ogilvie, J. F. Fleming and J. G.Jones. The Grand Lodge of Masons gathered around the cornerstone, and. conducting the Masonic ceremonies were: William T. Lucas, grand master; Thomas ¥lint Jr., deputy - erand master; F. N, Angeloiti, senior grand warden: C. L. Sutro, which fixed the location of tnese col- leges on this commanding and besutiful site. The gladness with which this noble gift was welcomed {8 shown in the vofe of thanks to Mr. Sutro passed at a meeting of the Board of Regents held May 19, 1896. Mr. Kellozg then read the resolution, and in conclusion said: And 80 we are here to-day tolay the corner- stone of a building for which we have long waited; one of a group ot buildings accommo- dating five of these professional colleges. It is an oceasion for great and high satisiaction on the part of us ail. Loug may_these buildings mont to the beneficence of the State and of the donor of this fine site. Long may the facul- ties of these colleges sce accomplished practi- tioners go forth from these halls to take an honorabie and useful part in active life. To the ancient and honorable order which has laid the cornerstone of so many temples of science and art snd industry, aud which has kindly volunteered to officiate here to-day, we now turn for the proper and distinctive cere- monies of this occasion. The cornerstone was then laid with Ma- sonic ceremonies, Dr. Cole handling the trowel with the skill of an expert. On the front of the stone was carved the following inscription: and as a monu- Erected by the State For the University of California. MDCCCXCVIL Mayor Phelan was then introduced and spoke as follows: San Francisco is ot insensible to the sig- nificance of this oceasion. The people of the State, represented in the Legislature, have generously provided for the ercction of butlc- ings to house tbe Affiliated Colleges of the University of Caiffornia in this City. The colleges ~ have been domiciled among us for many years. Somc were established and endowed. as this site was ziven. by Patton, junior grand warden; Edward | the bounty of our citizens—Toland, Hast- ings and Sutro; otbers were made necessary by the progress of the professfons and the in- creasing numbers who knocked at the door of knowledge. To bring these schools together and dignify and sirengthen the higher education by the erection of a suitable temple for its service and pursult was the gracious duty of the State, which watches over the university like a fosiering mother. As the State takes a pride in its university, so should it tnke a pride in its metropolis. It 1s the aim and object of San Francisco to ba worthy of that distinction. Side by side with the development of Californis’s ~matchless material resources the development ot the true resources of civilization must go om. This work is the peculiar function of a great city—the hive of intellectual activity. A me- tropolis should be, and it is, the meeting- place of the many who seek those things which the presenca of a large populstion en- courages, and even makes possible, as, in their higiest sense, art, science and literature, mu- sic and the drama; and there they find col- leges, libraries, 'museums, hospitals and courts for iilustration and instruction. A metropolis is the finished work of ull the arts. Concentration in these matters is necessary to promote the highest efficiency ana seoure the best results. That concentration must be somewhere, and the State to-day sys to San Francisco, “Prove worthy of my trust.” The quest of knowledge is thus facilitated, and the commingling of many minds, by which we freely give and freely r eceive, takes off their rough edges, broadens by contact and creates an atmospliere of liberality in thought and action. That is the mission of city and university alike. And now s England looks with patriotic pride to London town, Germany toits imperial capital and France to the beautiful city of Paris, as being the ceuters of their civilizaiion aud their heralds to the world, so should Cali- fornia uphold every worthy effort of San Fran- cisco o nrovide the world’s delights, advan- tages and opportunities, and to possess all the fucililies made possible by modern progress Dere at home, by the waters of the Pacific, 1or the use aud’enjoyment of the people of ‘our tate. 1f that be accomplished Californi: endowed as she is by nature, will be and better mother to her children, and, by gratitude and loyalty, the iaea of home viiil be iueradicably engrafted in the minds of thegene- rations which are to foilow. Here they will siay, and if they go forth 1t will be to teach. Ex-Mayor Sutro, who was introduced as the next speaker, was received with a round of cheers. He spoke as follows: This is a memorable occasion for the inhab- itants of the City of San Francisco; We ses assembled here the representatives of the in- teiligence, the progress aud the advancoment of our own generation and the harbingers of those who will come after us for centuries. This spot is favored by nature. Itis situated in the geographical center of the Cicy of San Francisco: just about three miles from the ocean, three miles to the north shore, three miles io the oay, and three miles to the County ne. Spread out before us we behold as beautiful snd lovely a landscape ss” one could imagiie; at our very feet Golden Gate Park, with its green lawns, rising trees and winding paths, while strains of music float softly through the air. To the westward the grand Pacific Ocean with its steamers and sailing crait coming irom and going to ris of the globe, o the north the Golden Gate with iis fortifications, and in the background Marin County with its romantic hills, Tamalpais looming up above them ali; to the east we see the settled part of San ¥rancisco, with its mass of cheerful- looking dwellings, its mansions, the massive Dbusiness structures and steeples Tising up in every direction. This is the spot which has ben chosen for richly truer the future center of knowledge and learning for the young men and women of our Golden Siate.

Statements Sworn to Before the Clerk of the Supreme Court. My wifehad appear on her limbs, justabove the ankles, five small pimples that began to enlarge, and soon developed into eating ulcers of the indolent type, which, despite all reme- dies and our efforts to cure them, grew worse and worse, and at the end of three months had become very bad, two of them having eaten to the bone. At that time we began to use CUTIOURA remedies, and with two bottles of RESOLVENT, one box of CUTICURA, and one cake of CUTICURA SOAP, they were cured sound and well in about two months. The scars are there to-day as living witnesses of the severity and extent of the ulcers. 1 also was afflicted the same winter with ‘papular rash, from which I could not rest day or night. My skin became in a very bad fix when using CUTIOURA remedies. 1 used them for about one month and was cured. My little baby girl, when about ten months old, was afflicted with Eczema, her limbs from her knees down were one solid sore from which she suffered greatly. We tried several remedies which only aggravated them, beforo we began the use of the CUTIOURA remedies, in which case there was a complete cure with 1o return of the disease. A.A.MCLARTY, J.
