TOMER ARE AROUSED Lord Dunraven Will Undoubted ly Be Expeiled. THE FULL CHARGES RECEIVED Commodore Edward M. Brown Says No Def inite Plan of Action Has Yet Been Laid Out. New York, Nov. 12.—The general opin ion among New York yachtsmen is that as a result of the special meeting of the New York Yacht club called for Novem ber 18 to consider charges preferred by Lord Dunraven against the Defender's syndicate, his lordship will be expelled from the club. None of the yachtsmen would say so positively this morning, stating that until the investigation had been held nothing definite could be stated. Every one of them, however, be lieve that the Irish earle's charges are ridiculous, and with them proven false it is the custom under the circumstances to expell the author. With the full text of Lord Dunraven's article in the Field laid before it this morning the yachting world was more than ever stirred, and it had the effect of causing many prominent yachtsmen, who thus far remained silent, to talk. Among these was Edward M. Brown, commodore of the New York Yacht club, who said: •'Although I have not had time to read the article carefully, I can readily see that stripped of all persiflage it accuses Mr. C. Oliver Iselin, and through him the New York Yacht club, with fraud. This is a most serious charge, and as Dunra ven himself knows, utterly without foun dation. It is ridiculous on the face of it. I see Commodore Smith said that Its re coil will knock his lordship down. Well, If it does not something else ought to. But to be liberal, I will say that l cannot understand how a charge can emanate from any one but a diseased brain. Then the commodore went to speak of the special meeting called for next Mon day at Mr. Iselln’s request. "I have not laid out any definite plan of action,” he said. “It is too delicate a matter to decide upon in a minute. It must be carefully gone over and an Infor mal conference will take place in the meantime.” The first of the meetings will be held at the club house on Thursday, and Ex Commodore James D. Smith, the chair man of the cup committee, and other members of the committee will then meet Mr. Brown. Ex-Commodore Smith, when seen this morning, said that the full text of Lord Dunraven's charge seemed to call for no further comment than the abstracts hith erto published from it. English Pi'ess Opinions. London, Nov. 12.—The Westminster Ga zette, commenting upon the charges made against the New York Yacht club by Lord Dunraven, says: “Lord Dunraven's conduct is not only Irritating and childish, but it gives the American public an excuse for alleging that It is the practice of British sports men when they lose to slang the umpire and accuse their opponents of cheating." The St. James Gazette repeats that the bringing of a deliberate accusation of foul play weeks after the event is altogether unfair, besides being deplorably Injudi cious and unpatriotic. The Pall Mall Gazette tries to defend Lord Dunraven’s course, but says that although the cup committee of the New York Yacht club has not yet moved In the direction of an inquiry many are of the opinion that an inquiry must be held. Defender’s Crew Interviewed. Green Landing, Me., Nov. 12.—Capt. F. P. Weed, the man who picked the crew for the Defender, says: “Since reading Dunraven's report I have Interviewed some twenty of the De fender's crew, and every one of them says there was not any change made in the ballast or trim after the Defender was measured for the race. When this crew left Deer Isle to join the Defender, I told them that I had an honorable enemy to fight. If I had said ‘you have a mad sohoolboy to fight’ I should have come much nearer the truth." In an interview with some of the crew they said that the Defender was meas ured both times at Erie Basin, Brooklyn, N. Y. The rules called for the measur ing and place. Dunraven was dissatis fied with the first measurement and a second measurement was allowed. They also testify that: "We, the undersigned members of the Defender's crew, wish to say that there is no truth in Dunraven's report In regard to the change of ballast or trim of the Defender after she was measured for the race. We are in hopes that in 1896 England will send a true sportsman with lots of sand in him to_ flght us for the cup. ELMER E.

Diplomatic Usage Laid Aside by Minister Ter rell in the interest of Justice—Sultan’s Yacht Kept Ready. Constantinople, Nov. 12.—United States Minister Terrell sent a note to Halile Ri fat Pasha, the new grand vizier, on Mon day, in which he said in view of the po sition he was unable to make a congrat ulatory call upon the occasion of the pasha's appointment to the office of grand vizier. He was compelled to lay diplo matic usage aside, he said, In order first to demand protection for Americans in Asia Minor, and proposed to call upon the grand vizier for that purpose on Tuesday. Missionaries Herrick, Peet and Dwight have made an earnest appeal to the United States for aid for the destitute. It is estimated that 250,000 Armenians in the ravaged districts are in a state of starvation. Minister Terrell expresses the opinion that upwards of 10,000 Armenians have been massacred during the last thirty days and fears that the worst of the out-< rages in a number of localities have not been reported.

Constantinople, Nov. 12.—The porte in reply to t*he Identical note of Germany, Austria and Italy, demanding that the porte's scheme for reform in Armenia be officially communicated to them, has In formed the representatives of these gov ernments that their requests wtll be com plied with without delay.
