BROUGHT THE SULTAN TO TINE.
British Admiral Threatened to Bonn
bard If He Held Gut

uarO II He Held Gut.
The following dispatch from Bombay yes
terday gives details regarding the recent
incident between the British authorities and
the Sultan of Oman: 1t appears that the
news of the lease by the Sultan of Oman
. of a coaling station to France on the coast
of Oman leaked out while the British po-
itical agent at Muscat, Major Eagan, was
absent. He promptly returned to his post
but the sultan refused to furnish him with
any Information.
The commander of the gnnbeat Sphinx
thereupon dispatched a lieutenant and arm
ed party to Bandar-JioSih. But the. sultan
hoping to receive aid from the French, con-
tinued to be reealcitrant. The arrival OF
the secend-ciass cruiser Eclipse, flagship of
the East Indies station. with Rear Admiral
E. G.. Drummond On board, threw the sui
tans subjects into panic, though the sui
tan himself still remained abdurate On
the morning of February 10, Admiral Drum
mond sent word ashore that unless the sui
tan attended durbar on board the Eclipse
at o'clock that afternoon he would bonn
bard the forts at 300 pm.
Notice of the admiraPs intention was sent
to the foreign censuls, and the town was
speedily In confusion. The advisers Of the
Eclipse took up a position broadside to
the town, while the other British ships
ecleared for action. The sultan thereupon
posted notification at the custom house and
on the gates of the town that the agree
ment with the French was Cancelled.
At noon the sultan sent his brother on
board the Eclipse, but the British admiral
refused to receive him as a Substitute.
Just before 2 o'clock the Sultan of Oman,
almost unattended, arrived on board the
flagship, and remained there for three
hours, while the whole population lined the
beach and anxiously awaited the outcome
The sultan, 1t appears, completely acqui-
esced in the British demands, and hantted
over to Admiral Drummend the treaty with
France. On the following day the admiral
went to the palace, where great durbar
was held, and the sultan publicly repudiatetl,
his agreement with France.
