ATHcJNS, October 30. i There has bsen a sensational development in connection with the Greek crisis. Lieut. Typaldos, commander of a Hctilla of torpedo boats and submarines, acting on behalf of the junior naval officers, refused the Government's concessions recently cabled, and with twenty officers and 300 men seized the na«al powder magazines upon the island of Cros Kyra. They then boarded four de stroyers and the cruiser Canaris and lay in the Straits of Salamis. The Government sent field batteries, which bombarded f he mutinous vessels for twenty minutes from the heights of Sacramanga. Loyal warships on the opposite side of the channel also shelled the rebels, who replied. J

Finally Typaldos' force took refuge behind the headland, when a shell struck the rebel destroyer Sphendore. Typaldos took a prominent part in the August revolt. Hence he gained support. Athens is quiet, but greatly excited.

The military league's prestige has suffered, and they may be compelled to proclaim a dictatorship.

The Government state tha*; they are determined to suppress the outbreak by force.

The fire of the rebels in the sea fight killed two loyalists and wounded several others. Three rebel stokers aboard the Sphendore were killed. Other rebels wounded included the captain uf the Sphendore. The Military League being satisfied with its own concessions joined the Government and helped to suppress the naval outbreak.
