Smyrna.--Smyrna, which the 'iTurks I have called the "Eye of Asia," is a vast sepulchre of ashes. Only the shattered walls of 25,000 homes and the charred bodies of countless vie tims remain to tell the story of death and destruction unexampled in modern history. The ruins are still smouldering like a volcano which has spent its fury. No effort has been made by the TIurks to remove the dead and dying. The streets are full of the bodies of those 'who sought to escape, for the most part women and children. Every building in the Armenian quarter has bn burned. with Ih#' dead lying about. The bay, which covers anl area of 50 acres, still ar ries on its surface the poor .emnatnint:1 of those who were iass-:erecd or sought to escape the rutlelss.,.=n-:;a of the fire.
