 NApoLI DI RoMAN1A, Aug. 16, 1926.

 My Dear Sir: It gives me pleasure to be able to state to you, that, during the month which has elapsed, since the date of my last, (July 12) the affairs of Greece have put on, to say the least, no worse ap- pearance. Notwithstanding the boasted preparations of the enemy, the croakings of her ill-wishers, and the well-grounded fears of her real friends, she is in better condition, and more likely to finish the campaign advantageously, than she appea- red to be one month ago.

 The first division of the Turkish fleet came out of the Dardanelles about the 2Oth July, and directed it's course towards Sa- mos, intending to mako a landing but on the same day, Vice Admiral Sacturi, arri- wing to the assistance of that island, with thirty-five vessels, an engagement immedi- .ately, ensued, and was warmly continued for several hours, when the gallant Cana ris grapled a large frigate with his brulot. He applied the torch, aud, at the same mo- ment, the crew of the frigate rushed on board to prevent the confagration they separated the vessels after violent scufle but such was the rapidity of the flames, tha fifty of them perished, while the Greeks escaped in their boats, bearing away Can. aris, who was wounded. Two other brulots were prepared, but the Turkish fleet gave way before them, and were followed by the Greeks, who took all their shaloupes, des- . tined for the debarkation of the troops, and about four hundred and fifty prisoners Thus bafied, the enemy retired to Myti- lene. &

 In my last, I informed you of the fail. ure of Ibrahim P has attempted invasion of the district of Maina, of his loss there and his subsequent return to TriPolizza no remarkable events took place in tha quarter until July 26, when Gen. Niketas fsurnamed Turcophagos, or Turk Eater from the immense number of them he ha. kiIled) being upon the plain reconnoiterins with about twenty officers and men, wa suddenly cut of from the mountain, by ; body of the enemy's cavalry. His pres ence of mind saved him for, suddenly throwing himself into tue ruins of house he ordered his men not to fire until the enemy should be within half pistol shot. &S
