LoNDos. ENGLAND. September l5.-While
il is now admitted that British force has
not seized the island OF Mitylene news to
the effect that the island had been occu-
pied was received from Mitylene aud else
where b. the various Embassies at Con-
stantino,le and in this and other capitals.
The French, Russian, Italian, and Turkish
Govern snts and the Sultan personally
received information Of the alleged land
ing OF q British force.
HOW THE STORY WENT.
These reports concurred in stating that
q division Of the British Mediterranean
fleet had landed at Sigrl force OF sailors
and marines, with several eld-pieces and
Gatling guns: that Sigri had been occupied
and fortified. aud that the british war
ships had surrounded the island with sub
marine mines and torpedoes. The new
Turkish Minister Of the Interior telegraph
ed 10 the British Ambassador at CONSTANT
nOple. ir William White. asking the latter
10 explain the reports as TO the landing OF
British force on Turkish territory.
BoAr-DRrLLs AND LANDING ExRRcIsEs.
Sir William in reply SAID tina, h. was en-
tlEelS i-uDrhIt OF the NuOle uVdlT, out ue
added II was probable that the crews OF
some British var-ships night have landed
on the island of bhtylen IN the course of
regular ooat-drills and landing exercises.
The British Ambassador assured the Turk
ish Minister that no fortihcations had
been constructed on the island by British
troops.
Tins view OF the case was confirmed by
dispatches received here during the night,
which stated that the force which had
landed from the British war-ships bad re-
embarked. and that the men-of-war had
left the island Of Mltylene tor Marmorito.
Sr William White made the same explana-
nation 10 the other Embassies.
THE MANGUvRrs MIGHT BE MADE REAL.
The affair caused great excitement in
diplomatic circles tor short time, and 1t
is still asserted that the same manuu-
vres had at least the purpose OF showing
the Sultan and his advisers how easily
England could change her boat-drills and
land.ug-exercises of the island Of Nltylene
into dangerous reality.
THE MASRuVgERs DEPART.

THE BATTYRY WORK GOOD.
This battery was simply tremendous, J"
and though eight of the visitors pounded
the sphere for singles and one for two

while six unfortunstes were "a feeble with

forts to intlmidate "a horse-hy.
A. McGann. the Carolinans' pitcher,
succeeded in holding the Donatians down
TO four singles and n two-bagger, while
seven bat;ers smote Mt vacancy, but be
was exceedingly wild, giving five men their
bases on balls and making three wild
pitches. This helped IN a large measure
TO give the Richmonds the game.
Mehan and Say, the new Winston
players, made their appearance, the latter
on third ana the former in right teld.
Neither distinguished himself. The field
Ing of Wells and Foster was exceedingly
clever.
The tar-heel boys made their first and
only run IN the initial inning and after
this Fate seemed decidedly against them.

strenuous efforts TO redeem their lost
glory.
