cmnstantial details Of very remarkable affair,
which took place near the Convent of Statlna,
between the Greeks and the Turks, to the great
disadvantage of the latter.
The convent of Statina was inhabited BY sew
| eral Greek monks. Ii is surrounded by very
| high wall. Ninety seven Greeks under the or
ders Of a Seryian captain Of their own choice,
called Anastasi, had thrown themselves into this
Convent, where they were attacked on the 25th
of July by 1899 Turks, under the orders of a
Bimbach2, (chef of 1890 nnn) TO whom three
Jews acted as guides. The Greeks placed behind
the batrlements the most experienced marks
men, 70 whom the rest supplied muskets, loaded
without interruption. At first, the three Jews
set fire to baskets of corn, which were placed
near the wall, and the wind soon spread the
flames into the court Ofthc convent and the con-
vent being constructed of wood. was soon con-
sumed. The Greeks however, did not give up
their resolution TO defend themse Ives. IN the
wall Of the convent, there was q small old door,
and through that one of the monks escaped.
The Turks, seeing this opening, penetrated by
il into the court. The chief then assembled his
followers in the church, and barricaded the door
as much as possible-while they kept up an I'M
ceasing fire from the roof Of the church, which
was partly wrapped IN iiames-but those who re-
NAMED IN court, and who could not withdraw IN
time, were overpowered by numbers, and all
put to the sword. The BimbaCha then summon
cd Anastasi to surrender, promising him pardon,
which the latter rejected with disdain. At the
same time ball from the roof laid the Bimba-
cha dead on the spot. Immediately a Turk cut
oil his head, and carefully wrapt It in piece Of
cloth, 70 show that il had fallen in battle.
Meanwhile, the flames, which enyelopcd hv
degrees the roof Ofthe church, forced the Greeks
to descend. The Turks penetrated into the
church; they fought round the high altar and the
Greeks continued their fire with such effect,
that the Turks demanded an armstice, which
was only granted them ON condition Of iInmedi-
ately withdrawing. The Turks lost 372 killed,
and the Greeks II killed and - wounded. The
seven monks were killed. The three Jews fell
into the hands of the Greeks, who nailed them
to tho cross. after having torn the skin from
their bodies and exercised on them other bar
baritics.
The 80 triumphant Greeks, after having laid
down their arms, passed tire frontier Of Bohovi-
ma, and were sent BY an officer of the austrian
guard TO Bovance, where they safely arrived on
the 28th Of july.

The accounts relative 10 the aif1rs with
Turkey are yet contradictory. The last al
vices state, that the Russian Ambassador bad
finally left Conslsntioope, aud had arrived at
Odessa whilst other accounts, through other
sources. assert That he remained IN Constant
