Officials Think It VIII | Be Good.
NO ORDERS TO JEWELL
Inexpedient to Give Him
 Specific Commands.
Nations of Europe, it is Delieve6s Are Anxious for Tranquiiity, ana
 win coerce the Turkish sultan.

Washington, Aug. 10.--Oficials of the State and Navy Departments conferred today regarding the orders to be given the American European squadron when 1t arrives at Smyrna. The naval of-s ficers, in answer to the inquiries Of the State Department estimated that Admiral Jewelfs fleet would arrtves at smyrna by tonight.
 The Admirais sailing orders were simply to proceed to smyrna and ofh cially he does not know of the purpose of his cruise. It Is said that he prob- ably will understand the situation SO well that 1t will hardly be necessary. and. in fact. will be rather inexpedi- ent to give him any ocffiial orders iru- mediately.
 Powers Are Interested.
 There are signs here that the sigma tory powers to the treaty of Paris are beginning to take active interest In the policy of the Washington Govern- ment toward Turkey. They have every reason to dread any disturbance of the balance of power in Southern Europe at this time. and it is believed that they are willing to bring influence to bear upon the Sultan to induce him to ac- quiesce in the American demands rath- '. CT than force the issue to point where the use of actual force might be re- garded as actually necessary by the American Government.
 Within the last two days. although Washington had been almost com pletely deserted by the diplomatic body. representatives of German, Austrian and French embassies have appeaed here and all of them have communi- cated with their State department or the White House.
 Hope sultan will Yield.
 The nature of the communications has not yet been disclosed. Altogether the officials are hopeful that soon after Admiral Jewelfs appearance at Smyrna. the Sultan. having learned for himself and without regard to supordinates of The Porte who are believed to obstruct- ing MT. Leishman's work. of the real purpose of the State Department win be wiling to concede MT. LeisnmAn'a demand and thus make unnecessary any prolonged stay of the European squadron in Q port where the presence of vessels is n source of irritation to the government.

Courteous Declination to Agree to Eng
 lands Wish.
 St. Petersburg Aug. 10.-The Russian reply to Great Britain's Representations on the subject of the sinking of the British steamer Knight Commander by the Vladivostok squadron, while oouched in the friendliest terms, does not recede from the Russian position as set forth in the prize regulations. in regard to the exercise of the right to destroy neutral vessels carrying contraband of war. At the same time Russia assures Great Britain that the extreme recourse to sinking neutral vessels, as fannounced August 6, will not be resorted to unless circumstances render it impossible to take them to prize court.
 Great Britain's proposal that the British Allanton, captured June IS, be liberated upon the deposit of security, has not been accepted, Russia replying that the documents in this case were already on their way to St. Petresburg and will have to be submitted to the admiralty court before further action is taken.
 Russia has formally notified the United States of the decision of the prize court in the case of the Portland and Asiatfc line steamer Arabia. cap tured by the Gromoboi. but the state- ment from Vladivostok on the subject leaves some doubt as to whether all the rails consigned to Japanese ports were declared contraband. or only tke flour and railroad material The Rus- sian Government manifests friend ly disposition in suggesting It's readi. ness to entertain an appeal
 The correspondent of the Associated Press has learned that nothing was confiscated in the cargo of the Arabia which was not designated as contra band in the Russian declaration. The Russian reply in the case of the Knight Commander points out that the prize regulations under which Russia is act ing was promulgated nine years ago and Great Britain did not enter a pro- test until after the present war be- gun.

MONTGOMERY THEATRE.
Miss Grantly's Production of "Tn the
 Palace of the King"

The dramatized version of F. Marion Crawford's beautiful romantic drama, Tn the Palace of the King" was pre- scented at the Montgomery Theatre last star Miss Helen Grantley.
 The presentation of this drama of warmth and color by Miss Grantley and her company must be inevitably com pared with the first presentation of "ln the Palace of the King" in this city, glV- en by Miss Viola Allen and her company. Because Miss Grantley is unknown Tn Montgomery and Miss Allen Is famous througnout the country, it does not neces- sariIy follow that the new star should give mediocre performance. Some Of the most delightful surprises, some of the most artistic work on the local stage thls season has been done by unknown or comparatively unknown players.
 The presenting company did not regis ter such a surprise last night. The Dolo- res of Miss Grantey Is not to be com pared with that of Miss Allen.
 Miss GrantleY was seen at disadvan- taGe last night. Her work Is not to be Judged by her work Of last night. She Was suffering from an extremely severe cold with throat complications. It Was her enunciation, the elocutionary features ot her work which were most open to criticism. She spoke with evident effo.t, and that she scored as we'll as she did was remarkable. Miss Grantley Is young woman endowed with beauty and
  gives promise of future power.
 The company individually was meritor- ious. collectively it was mediocre. ThCie was lack of harmony, an absence ut unity of purpose. The actors failed ro work up the cltmaxes, naturally and ar tisticaily. There was In short an absence Oi team work. The thoTOughness the careful attention to detail. the under standing and appreciation Of the minor details Of the stage business which go to make a harmonious, effective perform ance lacking and the really clever woril Pf several members of the cast suffered Don Juan was played by Marsha T Wclch. handsome young actor of tide physique. lie threw too much eXuberancc into the work and this alone prevented his rendition of the role from being both forcibie and convincing.
