ing Into Matters.
CoNsTANTINorLE, April 1s.-H. R. New
berry, secretary of the United States lega-
tion in this city, who returned last week
from Cesarea and Marsovan, where he in
yestigated the recent reports of the perse-
cution OF Christians by Mohammedans,
and of the burning of the Marsovan col
lege conducted by DR.. Herrick, has made
a statement in an interview in regard to
the origin of the disturbances. Mr.. New
berry appears to consider the action Of
the Turkish authorities as in part at least
justifiable.
He says that the disturbances had their
beginning in Turkish or Armenian con-
spirators melting the populace to revolt
by seditions placards which were stuck on
the doors of the American school. They
were of very infiamatory treas
enable and character. As there
were doubtless many innocent
persons among the 900 who were arrested
on the charge of having been concerned in
the conspiracy, Mr.. Newberry induced the
grand viZier to grant amnesty to 600 of the
prisoners, who were released.

Yesterday the Britons were the especial

Al the Hygeia Hotel.
The "jolly Britisher" was and is making
the most of it. for he has been there before
and knows how it will be when another
style of naval uniform comes on the scene;
and the German feet is coming. The
HyH< hotel is crowded with beautiful
v~rv,y n, gallant naval officers, many prom
lent civilians and generous sprinkling
Of army officers. The crowd is as great as
at any political convention, but no gather
ing of politicians could ever be so interest
ing or picturesque. Exclusion trains and
steamers add hourly to the numbers.
Brilliant Scene at Night.
The scene at night at the Hygeia hotel
was one that was never surpassed at this
usually quiet resort. The parlors and cor
ridors of the hotel swarmed with officers
dressed in all the magnifcence of gold
lace, brass buttons and blue uniforms, who
danced and talked with the beautiful
women who are numberless and whose
dressing surpasses that of any other resort
on the Atlantic coast just now. On shore
and in the Roads was a scene OF ordnance
that would make the poorest citizen patrl-
otic.
Light as Day With Electricity.
1t cannot be denied that the whole In.
terest of the vast crowd is upon the big
Blake, the officers who command her, and
| the other British ships. During the even
| ing the Roads were as light as day. From
| the poops and forward bridges of the
| American ships the powerful search lights
| made the waters glimmer and shine like
| the moon upon new fallen snow. The re
Electors were worked upward to throw theil
flashes oflight to the heavens and then or
the shore. The rays touched the sides o.
some of the vessels in the feet and picturss
them as some phantom ship sailing tn,
seas without sails; then they criss-crosset
| and formed all sorsts of weirt
| figures as one ray of light fell across an
other SHOT from the deck of some othe
: vessel at the end Of the fleet.

BRITISH FLAGSHIP BLAKE.

that when Admiral Gherardi announced
yesterday morning that the British fleet
was coming in there was rush of those
who We're awake to see the sight. For
John Bull had chosen an early hour-for
fashionable people-to make his appear
ance, and the fleet was at anchor by 9 a. IN.
Some Very Noisy Compliments.
Admiral Gherardi's announcement was
a notification to stand by to salute the
visitors after they had fired off twenty
one guns in honor of the American colors,
and the American feet and Fortress Mon
roe were prompt in doing this. The fash
ionable set were ruthlessly awakened by
this terrible bombardment and the rever-
beration of the mighty guns of the Blake
and the answers that came quickly back
from the post and the flagship Philadelphia
Hardly had the dense curls of white smoke
disappeared from the muZZies of the guns
when the Blake started in to assure the
French, Russian, and Italian flags of her
distinguished esteem and consideration by
saluting the commanding officers of the
four vessels with the number of guns due
their rank.
Beautiful Marine Spectacle.
During these ceremonies the flags on all
the ships were constantly changing from
1t seemed that if there ever existed any i'll
feeling between Russia, England and
France and the United States, there were
little remnants of it left. The appearance
these five crack ships of the queens
navy presented as they moved majestically
over the water and past the outer end of
our feet to the anchorage grounds desig-
mated them by Admiral Gherardi, was one
of the prettiest sights ever seen here.--At
the head of the feet was the big armored
cruiser Blake, counterpart of our own
skip New York, of 1000 tons displacement
and 10000 horsepower, heavily armored
and the most formidable ship that will be
in the review.
Sailed in Perfect Line.
In her wake was the protected cruiser
Australia with her sides fairly toothed with
fierce-looking high-power guns. Gliding
gracefully next was the cruiser Tartar, and
in the rear was the little Barkentine rugged

NAVAL couRTEslEs COME NEXT.

AdmiraIs Gherardi and Hopkins Ex-
change visits-Society Gossip.
Sweeping by the fleet the Blake slowed
down just as she passed the Newark and
when abreast of the Philadelphia the sig
nal was displayed to the other ships to an
chor. As quickly as the signal was seen
just as quickly were five bow anchors seen
to splash the water into foam and the deep
rumbling of the chain could be heard as
forty fathoms ran through the hawse
pipes. With the flood tide all five ships
promptly swung around with their noses
pointed out to the Roads and forming a
line extending mile out. The firing COM
menced and was kept up necessarily for
half an hour.
Some More Explosive Compliments.
At II o'clock Admiral Hopkins put on
his cooked hat, buckled his sword on, and
embarking in his gig was pulled over to
the Philadelphia, where he saw Admiral
Gherardi, heard fifteen guns fired off in his
honor, and then departed to his own vessel
to get ready to receive our commander-in-
chief, who went through the same prepara-
tions and had the same number of guns
discharged for his benefit. These courtesies
having been exchanged the noise was sus-
pended for an hour. Later in the day Ad-
miral Hopkins called on Colonel Frank,
and was received as became his rank.
Colonel Frank returned the call, and the
Blake was again called upon to honor an
official of our country

There are now twenty-four ships here
13 American, 5 British, 2 Russian. French
and one each from Holland and Italy. But
there is something here far more beautiful
even than the magnificent specimens OF
marine architecture which now crowd the
bay. Fair woman is here-the fairest of a
land of fair women are here in large num-
bers. and more are coming. Last week

State Troops.
WASHINGTON, April 1s.-A special to The
Evening News from Raleigh, \. c., says:
"The governor of this state will probably
be compelled to call out the state guard to
dispossess 5000 negroes who have domi-
ciled on land which the county courts have
decided to belong to a white man, and
who refuse to submit to legal pro-
cess" When the federal authorities cap
tured Newberne during the war they hus-
tied most of the negroes out of the town
on to a tract of land opposite it, belonging
to James a. Bryan.
The negroes have continued to squat
there ever since and it is now known as
James City. The population of this black
village is 5000. The supreme court, after
long litigation sustained Bryan's right
to the lands, but the negroes refuse to
pay even nominal rents and have risen en-
masse against civil officers who attempted
to eject them. Governor Carr has notified
the negroes that they must obey the law,
but they are ugly and refuse to vacate.
