NEw York, Oct. IA dispatch 10 the TYmn Of
the same date says there appears 10 he revivals Of re-
ligious Indifference In Turkey. Not only Is the OBJ
servance OF the Mohammedian ritual TO be enforced.
but a letter from Persia states that the long-forgotten
ordinance prohibiting the residence Of Christians In
Turkish quarters has been revived. The subordi-
mats have carried out their instructions with great
brutality, ~bnndling the people and their furniture

Roumania railway, who were obliged 10 live near the

and the treaty Of 1856 promised that nobody should
be molested on account Of his religious opinions.

on business in any part Of the Empire, with the ex-
cepton OF q single province, and their leases and
contracts have been treated rs legal by the authori-
ties. The measures now taken are therefore a viola
ton Of treaty obligations.

a cession Of Territory In the West Indies 10
Germany, has been recently semi-ohicislly denied.
The washington Chronicle has the following In ref
erence to what looks now as a probable event: Spain
may cede some OF her possessions to Germany, which,
