The Athena correspondent of the "Manchester Guardian" says that after a week in the clutches of Tzazas, the so-called "Gentleman Brigand" of Greece; six captives, including Senator Hadjikalti and his daughter, were released on payment of a ransom of £1333. . Teazas originally captured 100 holi-day-makers at Tricala. He made the men turn out their pockets, took their names, and retained the wealthiest. He sent the remainder to Tricala, with a demand for a ransom. Thousands of troops and poliee are now scouring the mountains in search of the gang, but It is feared that the trail has been lost. Pursuit has hitherto been withheld owing to fears" for the captives' lives. —United Service.
