Con-raxtinopLe, Dec. 21.—It appears that when the United States ship Bancroft arrived at Smyrna during the night of December fourth she was greeted with a blank cannon shot and rifle bullets from the fort of Yensiiki. The war ship seot shorewards to ask explanations, was fired upon and compeiled to return. Thereupon the American admiral lodged e protest with the United States minister bere, Dr. James B Angell, who demanded the punishment of tue guilty parties and an apology from the Turkish government wnich was given oo Sunday last. In addition, two Turkish officers were dismiss- ed and sentenced to a week’s imprisonment. The entry of ships into Smyrna at night is prohibited, but on this occasion the Jamps in the outer lighthouses were still burning and the Bancrott stopped when the requi~ site s'gnals were made. Loxpoy, Dec. 2i.—Charges of unfairness are ari#iny in connection with the tour of Engiand’s represen‘ative cricket team in Australia, The first of five test matches began with a protest by the captain of the English team sgainst the action of the Sydney cricket authorities in ordering a postponement of play owing to the wea-— ther, fellowed by the Looting of the English players in tne course of the contest by the Australian crowd, because the Engiieh wicket keeper put out the Anstralian lop scorer by sharp prectice. England’s victory was mainly due to the briliiant play and mar vellous endurance of the Indian Prince Ranjittsinhi, who rising froma sick bed after adangerous atta_k of quinsy, batted for two days ander a broiling eun, making 175 rnas, and in the interval uaderwent én Operation for the removal of his ionsils.
