Mr. Scott was also waiting for his examination, but General Lee, fearing
that he, too, might "happen to die" in his prison, made such a clamor for
his release, that he has been put with the other prisoners, and where his
friends can see him.

Fighting still continues in Crete, and it seems as if the Powers were
really sincere in their wish to make Greece keep the peace.

Colonel Vassos has been doing some fine work as commander of the Corps of
Occupation. He has attacked fort after fort, and has won several victories
over the Turks.

Encouraged by his success, he decided to advance on Canea.

No sooner was word of his advance brought to the city, than the admirals
in command of the various fleets set out for the Greek camp, and had a
talk with Colonel Vassos.

They would not tell what had passed, but on their return to Canea they
sent to the commander of the Greek fleet, and asked him to call on them.

When this gentleman met the admirals, they were all assembled together,
and had evidently been talking the situation over. They informed him, as
the result of their conference, that if Colonel Vassos did attack the
city, the allied fleets of the Powers would fire upon him and drive him
away.
