RouaANIA.-- Washington, May "a depu-
tatiou from the Board of Delegates OF
American Israelites waited upon the Presi-
dent to-day. Hon. Benjamin F. Peixotto
addressed the President Ia behalf OF the
prosecuted Hebrews Of Roumania, and Re-
corder Wolf, vice-presidentI of the Board,
presented a, written statement respecting
the recent barbarities practtced on the Jews
of Giurgevo, eRoumania. The President
appeared deeply touched by the unhappy
condition Of the helpless people, and re-
ferred the Reputation to Secretary Eyarts,
whom he requested to take such action as
the eXigepcy requires. Pursuant to this
advice the delegation called on, MIR. Evarts
and held quite q protracted interview. It
was suggested that the American consulate
at Bucharest, abolished since Mr.. Peixotto's
return, be revived, and that gentleman
urgently requested that DR.. Aiolph sterr,.
who had acted as fyice-consul, during his
residence at the Court Of Prince Charles, be
appointed United States CONSUL. The depu-
tation also, urged the Secretary OF State to
cable our ministers at Vienna, Constantine
pie, and st. PeteTsburgh, requesting them to
act In conf unction with the Representatives
OF these Powers in endeavoring to- repress
further atrocities. Mr., Eyarts took the sub
iect under, consideration, ahd will no doubt
act promptly. '' -
