Report of the Occupation Of Mitylene by
the British Was Mistake.

Report of the Occupation of Mitylene by
the British Was a Mistake.
LONDON, September 15.-It is now
stated that the Mitylene scare has arisen
from the fact that a party of British ma
val officers on Saturday last picnicked
on desert islet off Cape Sigri, and that
they re-embarked the same evening on
board their vessel and sailed away Snn-
day.
While it Is now admitted that Brit
ish force has not seized the Island OF
Mitylene, news to the effect that the
island had been occupied was received
from Mitylene and elsewhere by the
various embassies at Constantinople and
in this and other capitols.
The Turkish Minister OF the Interior
telegraphed to the British Ambassador
at Constantinople, Sir William White,
asking the latter to explain the re-
force on Turkish territory.
Sir William in reply said he was en-
tirely ignorant OF the whole affair, but
he added IL was probable the crews OF
seme British war ships may have land
ed on the island OF Mitylene in the
course Of the regular boat drills and
landing exercises. The British Ambas-
sador assured the Turkish Minister
that no Notifications had been con-
structed on the island by British troops.
The affair has caused great excite
ment in diplomatic circles for short
time, and it is still asserted that these
same "maneuvers" had at least the pur-
pose Of showing the Sultan and his ad-
visers how easily England could change
her boat drills and landing exercises off
the island of MItylene into dangerous
reality.
