[Received Last Xiijhi, at OJiO ■p.m.)
Athens, Yesterday
After the insurgents evacuated Alsipopoulo, in Crete, to join the Ruslika bands, Colonel Urkiiiovitch occupied the place, and demanded .SIBO blood money for the death of Russian soldiers.
The inhabitants refused to pay, on the ground that they were not responsible for
the insurgents' acts
The Colonel then seized and sold a draft of animals, and threatened to burn the village if the attack was renewed.
There is great indignation at Canea over
the incident.
