NEW YORK, Aug. 81. Iii Hung Chang

accompanied by distinguished party
of American friends, sailed at $40 a. m
on the United States dispatch boat
Dolphin for West Point.
Ii Hung Chang seemed to have been
greatly refreshed by his nights sleep.
lie wore his yellow jacket and peacock
feathers.
During the drive to the wharf he
talked with Gen. Ruger and appeared
to be asking many questions. Every
now and then he pointed at different
buildings as II to learn their uses.
Nearly all the. invited guests had pre-
ceded LII to the New York Yacht club
pier. They included Col Fred Grant,
Hon. John w. Foster, Gen. MeAlpin,
Col. J. J. McCook, Gen. Fitzgerald.
Gen. J. ii. Wilson, Col. Strong, Col.
Appleton, Gen. Horace Porter and MIR.
Stewart, ex-minister to China.
When Iii reached the Dolphin he was
received by the commander, Capt.
Clover, and the Dolphin's two guns
doomed out a salute Of 10 guns. Sew
eral steam yachts in the vicinity
dipped their flags and blew their whis-
ties. The other visitors went on board
in the Dolphin's ste am launch.
The Dolphin hoisted her anchor at
$40, and turning around steamed past
the lattery and up the Hudson toward
West Point. The yellow dragon flag
OF China floated from her foremast,
the jack at the bow and the American
dag from the stern.
The inspection Of the warships was
abandoned, the viceroy deeming that
function would be crowding too much
in one day.
The piers on both sides Of the river
We're thronged with people an nxious to
get glimpse OF the Dolphin as she
forged her way toward the Battery.
The stream was filled with steam craft,
which kept up constant shriehing OF
whistles, and when opposite the navy
yard the regulation naval salute was
given.
The Dolphin pointed her nose up the
Hudson river at 9:15. All along the
river front she was saluted by the fer
ry-boats and steamers, and In some In
stances vessels were decorated In honor
Of the party.

CoSsrASTISoPLE, Aug. 3l.-The po-
lice have discovered an Armenian bomb
factory in full operation. The work
of making bombs was carried on In an
underground vault near the northern
walls Of the city.
At Kasskein, Sunday, the houses Of
number OF Americans living in that
place were attacked by Turks, the
male heads Of these domestic estab-
lishments being absent. All of the

lection, having lost all of their per-
sonal effects.
The estimates of the number of per-
sons killed in the recent disturbances
here are increasing. The British em-
bassy here will oblige all the English
families who have taken refuge upon
the chartered steamer Hungary TO re-
turn to their home.
