Turkeys Neutrality.

CoNsTANTINoPLE. April 29.-All the
Powers have, through their representa-
tives, verbally urged Turkey to main
tain state of neutrality in the event of
war between England and Russia. NJ
Nehdoff. Russian ambassador, has had
a special audience with the Sultan. In
this the Russian statesman insisted that
1t was absolutely necessary for the
Porte to maintain strict neutrality in
the case of the Anglo Russian war.
German officers are at present en-
gagged in inspecting the forts along the
Dardanelles. The Porte is rapidly
erecting fresh defensive works on the
Bosphorus. The Sultan has ordered
the heights OF Theropia to be fortified.
Turkish agents have been sent abroad
to purchase torpedo boats on
the Sultan's account. The Porte,
on Sunday last, telegraphed a request
to Prince Bismarck for his opinion
upon the Anglo-Russian situation and
the attitude proper for Turkey to as
sumo towards those powers if they go
to war. 1t is stated that the German
Chancellor promptly responded to this
request. but the nature of his response
IS not yet made public. 1t is known,
however, that the Turkish ministers
held special meeting yesterday to con-
slider Prince Bismarck's reply.

The Steamer Libel.

New YORK, April 29.-The steamer
City Of Megico was Hbelled and seized in
this port few days ago, on complaint
of the first mate, John earthly, that she
had been fitted out to carry arms and
wage war in behalf of rebels against the
Colombian government. The attorney
for the owner of the vessel has adj
dressed a yoluminous protest against
the seizure to the Secretary of the Trea-
sury, in which he says that the vessel,
in carrying arms to the re-
bells at Savanillo, violated no inter
national law; that it. was in
the regular course of trade, that in
clearing for Sayanillo for Rio Hacha
with rebel soldiers on board as pas.
sengers, the captain did so by the advice
and authority of the American Consul
at the former place, and if the rebel
leader had got the ship into trouble by
waging war on the high seas, the own
ers would have had recourse against
the United States. He charges that
complainant is worthless fellow, and
that the Federal authorities did not use
proper diligence in searching for facts.

Washington Notes.

WASHINGTON April 29.-General Sheri-
dan expects to leave Washington in a
few days, on an inspection tour of the
military posts of the west.
The Department of State is to-day in
formed by the United States Consul at
Colon, under date of April 10th, that the
mails from the United States
and elsewhere for Bogato, Car
thagena, Barranquilla and interior
of COLOMBIA for the last
two months or more, were DESTROYED by
fire at Colon on the 31st of March. They
We're stored in the national postoffice
awaiting an opportunity to forward
them.
A report of the proceedings of the
universal postal congress which closed
at Lisbon on March 9th last, has been
received at the Postoffice De-
partment. The most important
change made in the original
convention, was the use of reply
postal cards was rendered general, to the
extent that those countries which do
not themselves issue such cards are
bound to return the reply cards which
they receive from other countries.
The question of ownership of letters in
course of convenience was de
ciGed IN favor of the sender 10
whom the right was granted to
withdraw them from the postal
service. so long as they have not been
delivered to the addresses. This rule,
however, does not apply to the coun-
tries in which legislation is in conflict
with the same. The service of delivery
of letters by express was introduced
into the international relations by a
new article, which provides that
articles of correspondence, of
every kind, shall, at the request
of the senders, be delivered at
OF addresses, by special mes.
senger, Immediately on their arrival
in the countries of the Union which
reciprocal relations. at a charge fixed
and in advance by the sender, in addi-
ton to the ordinary postage. 1
Owing TO the light receipts and heavy
during the present
the public debt statement to be
issued on the LIST prox., will show a
slight, if any reduction.
In view of excellent records and dis
service of the following
named consuls, the President to-day
decided that they shall be retained: w.
r. Grinnell. at Bradford. England;
Lyell T. Adams, at Geneva; Samuel w.
at Fayal.
Professor Rasmus B. Anderson quail
fed at the State Department to-day, as
and Consul General to Den
mark. and will soon sail for Copenhagen.
The estimated statement of the public
debt for the month of April will show a
reduction of 81 100000.
The working force of the navy yard
in this city is to be reduced tomorrow
by the discharge of more than 100 men
because of want of money to pay them.

Facts for Tourists and Emigrants.

Whether for the tourist bent on pleas
ure or business, or the emigrant seeking
a far western home, Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters is the best protector against
the hurtful influences of climatic
changes or malaria; the most reliable
medicine for general use he can posi-
bly, carry with him. 1t nullifies the
effect of sudden changes of temperature,
braces the system against the enfeebling
influence of excessive heat, prevents
injurious consequences from a change
of diet or of using bad food or water, is
a fine resuscitant of physical energy
diminished by. the fatigue of travelling,
and tends to counteract the effects Of
exposure in rough weather. 1t is much
and serviceably used by marines and
others whose outdoor life and arduous
labor, expose them unusually. 1t is,
moreover. of great service as a proven
tive and curative of disorders of the
stomach, liver, bowels, and as general
tonic.

The Situation in Russia.

ST.. PETERSBURG, April 29.-In court
and diplomatic circles the opinion ex
pressed to-day is that affairs have a
much more pacific aspect. 1t is reported
that the leading financial houses
are operating with view to a
rise in Russian stocks. The
Gear, it is declared, desires
to maintain the frontier line
now held, but is disposed to accede to
the decision of the joint commission.
An inquiry will be made into the cause
of the Penjdeh conflict. The recall of
Baron de Staal is imminent; M. De Giers
is dissatisfied with the conduct of nego-
tiations between England and Russia.
LONDON, April 29.-Russian papers
publish q pretended. proclamation of
the Ameer, issued from Jamroo, de-
claring that off war is forced on the
Afghans, they will rise as a single
man to repel the invaders. But as
between England and Russia, if left
to our own Independence, will pro-
tect the peace between those two States
and cling to neither" The aim of the
publication is to show that Russia de-
sires to protect the neutrality of Afghan
istan.
1t is reported that Baron de Staal, in
an interview with Earl Granville, stated
that the advance of the English toward
Candahar would be a signal for
the Russian occupation of Herat.
Russia. he said, would not admit the
right of England to form protectorate
of Afghanistan, and would insist upon
that country remaining neutral.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 29.-Orders
have been issued for the mobilization of
the entire Russian army. IE4
The ice is rapidly disappearing from
Helsingfors and Riga. y fE
In reference to Mr.. Gladstone's
speech IN the House of Commons,
NOeoe Vremyu says: Russia cannot
agree to an inquiry into the Penjdeh
affair" o7a
