Bombay. Feb. 23.-Important details
regarding the action OF the British au-
tnorltles at Muscat, the capital of the
Sultanate of Oman, have Just become
public. 1t appears that the news OF
the lease by the Sultan OF Oman Of q
coaling station TO France on the coast
of Oman leaked out while the British
political agent at Muscat, Major Ea-
gan was absent He promptly returned
TO his post. but the Sultan refused to
furnish him with any information. The
commander of the gunboat Sphinx
thereupon dispatched n lieutenant and
armed party TO the Bandar- Josh. But
the sultan hoping To receive aid from
the French, continued to be recalci-
trant.
THREAT TO BOMBARD.
The arrival of the second-class cruiser
Eclipse, flagship of the East Indies
station. with Rear Admiral Il. C..
Drummond on board. threw the Sui
tan subjects into panic, though the
Sultan himself remained obdurate Dur
ing the morning of February Is Ad-
mirai Drummond sent word ashore that
unless the Sultan attended IL durbar
afternoon he would lombard the forts
at 2:20 y. IN.
THE AGREEMENT CANCELLED.
Notice of the AdmiraIs intention was
sent TO the foreign consuls and the
town was speedily in confusion. The
advisers of the Sultan entreated him
TO submit and the Eclipse took up n
position broadside to the town, while
The other British ships cleared for ac-
ton. The Sultan thereupon posted n
notiiication at the Custom house and
on the gates of the town that the
agreement with the French was cam
Ceied
At noon the Sultan sent his brother
on board the Eclipse. but the Admiral
refused to receive him as IA substitute
Just before . O'Clock the Sultan of
oman, almost unattended, arrived on
board the flagship and remained there
Tor three hours, while the whole popu.

awaited the outcome

The Sultan. it appears. completely ac-
guessed 10 the British demands and
handed over to Admiral Drummond the
treaty with France. On the following
DAY the Admiral went to the palace
where great durbar was held and the
sultan publicly repudiated his agree
ment with France.

No all-prcvaiing unity of emotion:

BY these who have visited Alaska il is

the Indians of Alaska have been neglected
and that the government should take meas
