Tewson has strong interest, and the affair will probably, in his case, blow over.

The Greeks have made a complaint against them for wilfully setting fire to the house, and this is the most serious part of the affair.

I am told that both Tewson and the French officer deny having done so.

They say that it was done in order to effect a diversion, by two officers who came in to their assistance in the middle of the fight, and both declare that they do not know who they were or anything about them, as they only saw them for a minute in the middle of the confusion.

Some one has said that two young naval officers were seen just at the beginning of the fire, and no doubt inquiries will be set on foot.
