POWERS BLUFFED.
They Will Not Force the Sultan
Any Further.
Sultan Makes Them Believe He
Will Do Something.

Belief is Expressed That He
Will Restore Order.
Massacres May Now be Expected
to Begin Again.
WILL LET HIM ACT.

CoNsTANTINoPLE Nov. 20.-As inti-
mated in these dispatches during the last
few days. the attitude of the porte, or of
the sultan, has undergone a decided
change since the other fleets began to
join the British fleet in the naval demon
stration in Salonica.
There is no doubt that the pressure
brought to bear upon the sultan has been
strong enough to make him take per-
sonal charge of the work of reform in
Armenia, and it is now hoped thatl there
will be no further bloodshed except in
the case of putting down the insurrec-
tions which have broken out against
Turkish rule in different parts of Asia
Mtuor.
1t is hoped, too, that the Armenian
clergy will be able TO induce their core
ligionists to lay down their arms, espec-
Europe is now in favor of the sultan,
whose evident desire to meet the views
of the powers is thoroughly appreciated
and has undoubtedly tided over most
difficult crisis in the east.
There is no longer any talk of the
armed Intervention of the powers in the
Turkish Empire and if any display of
force is necessary upon the part of Eu-
rope, it might in the direction of sup
porting the authority of the Sultan as
Great Britain, Russia and France are
extremely desirous that order should
promptly be restored through Asia

The Crowd Incensed by the Behavior OF
the Visiting Team.


WILLIAMSBURG. VA, Aug. %.-Spe-
cial.-Two exciting games of ball were
plaved here yesterday between the West
Point club and our home team. The
first game was won by West Point by
a score OF : to 3. The contest was spirit
ed throughout, and the runs made by the
visitors were obtained through errors
made by men put on the nine in place
OF those who were unable TO play. Inc
game. however. was a good one, and
some fancy work was done by both
teams.
The second game was called at $50 /.
NJ. with an agreement TO play at least
seven innings. At the outset the visitors
secured one run. and this was the status
Of the game until the fourth inning
when the locals began 10 bat McCarrick
all over the field. The runs were piling
up when the West Pointers put Starke
i'm the box. He failed to stop the deadly
work. and as he was pounded right ana
left. in their despair. they put Mccain
back in the box, but still the sphere
went sailing IN the air, continuing
until the sixth inning. when the visitors
began TO do everything TO XIII time,
even refusing 10 touch men on bases
with the ball. and allowing IL TO pass,
so that they could say it was for lack
OF time. and the game was not finished.
Our men even sat on the bases and re-
fused 10 score. Finally the batsman
was caught out, and the side was forced
TO come in The umpire called The
game. but the visitors refused 20 respond.
when the umpire declared the game
forfeited 10 williamsburg by o score OF 3
10 O.. They had. however. secured two
runs. This conduct on the part of the
visitors very much incensed the crowd Of
ro0ters. and many expressed their dis
approval of such conduct In language
more emphatic than refined.
