Warships Ready To Act

Constantinople.Sept. 15. - [Copyright - ed, 1896, by the Associated Press.] - The ambassadors of the powers held a meeting Monday in order to lay out a plan for measures for the protection of the different embassies and the foreign population generally in the event of a renewal of disturbances here. The plan is understood to include the united action of the warships of all the powers, each ship being assigned a certain position and men are to be landed at a given signal to protect threatened points. The defenses of the embassies will also, it is rumored, be considerably strengthened by an increase ín the number of men now guarding them and by other precautions which will tend to make them capable of resisting attack for a considerable time. It is also reported that, in possible contingencies, a number of additional warships of the powers will re-enforce the guardships now doing duty in these waters.
