The New York Herald Correspondent Un-
able to Locate the Reported Outrage in
That Country.
New YORK, April 10--The Herald s
Valparaiso correspondent says: In
obedience to instructions from the Her
aid received by Mexican dispatch /
have made an investigation into the re-
port that an American consulate in Peru
had been attacked by a mob for which
an apology had been demanded by the
United States government; l have not
been able to find that any consulate in
Peru has been invaded, but incidents
connected with the reported sacl1ing
led me to believe that the outrage took
place in La Plaza, Bolivia This row
occurred on March % A party of
American students who were on their
way to the Chicago fair attended the
funeral of Senior Casardla- a Gillian
merchant of La Plaza The funeral
services were held in the Masonic
temple This enraged the anti-Masonic
populace who attacked the building.
The mob then set the building on fire
and it was burned to the ground Dur

SPECIAL SESSION.
A Quorum of Senators Not at
Present in Washington.
WILL CLOSE UP IN ADAY OR TWO.
Some Foreign Missions Yet to BE Filled
Also the District JudgeshiP-AP-
pointed Senators Cases
Held Over.

WASHINGTON. April 10.-The senate
has nearly completed its laborers and
is now waiting an intimation from the
president to bring the session to close
All idea OF passing upon the questions
involved in the appointment OF the
three senators from the northwest has
been abandoned and that matter Will
be left for disposal at the next session
The reasons for this course are that
many senators are still undecided how
to vote on the propositions involved;
many others desire to address fuil
senate, but the final and conclusive rea-
son is that there is not quorum in the
city at present.
1t is said that about Tuesday the SEN
ate will appoint committee to wait
upon the president and ask whether he
has further business to lay before the
body. 1t is assumed by the senators
generally that the only really impor-
tant matter that remains to be COM
municated is the nomination of the
| court of appeals judgeship of the Dis
trict of Columbia, for unless this court
is filed before adjournment there Is
likely to be deadlock in the district
| judicial business
Although the impression prevails that
| nearly all of the foreign missions have
been filed, the records disclose the fact
that no nominations have yet been
made to twenty of these important
places The list is: Argentine repu bile,
Bolivia. Brazil, China, Colombia, Ecua-
! dor, Hawaii, Italy, Russia, Corea, Liberia,
Paraguay andUruguay. Persia. Portugal,
! San Domingo, Siam, Sweden and Nor
way, Turkey and Venezuela Most i'm
portant of these perhaps is Russia, and
| it is surmised in some quarters that the
delay in making change there arises
from desire to await the possible ac-
| ton of the Russian government raising
the grade of its mission at Washington
| to an embassy, which will admit of the
nomination OF another ambassador by
| the president in that case.
But in the majority of these cases
there is no good reason why the places
can not be filed by appointment, sub
| iect to confirmation when the senate
meets again next session, and therefore
| the impression prevails at the capitol
that the present session will adjourn
some time this week.

DEMAND ON TURKEY.

Strong Measures to lie Taken to Obtain
Reparation For the burning of Ameri-
can Property.
WASHINGTON, April S.-The United
States has taken vigorous action in re-
gard to the outrages on American citi-
zens at Marsovar, in the Turkish do
minions, and the violation of the mails
of the United States legation The
facts Of the case are as follows: On
January 10 last a number of seditious
placards were distributed throughout
the region of Marsovar and Cesarea, in
the center of Asia Minor. On account
OF alleged seditious movements existing
among the Armenians the Turk
ish authorities ascribed the authorship
of these placards to the students
of Anatoba college, an American edu-
cational institution at Marsovar. On
the night of February the girls sem
mary of this institution was fired and
burned to the ground There was
strong circumstanti al evidence to show
that this was done with the full knowl-
edge if not by direct act Of the turkish
officials Demands for redress made to
the Turkish authorities were met by
counter demands on their side that the
alleged seditious movements of the
American students should first be in
vestigated and determined upon before
| any efforts were made to discover the
perpetrators of the outrages complained
| of.
Secretary Gresham has cabled to the
minister at Constantinople a strong ex-
preston of the presidents views on
| the outrage, and demanding not only
| prompt PREPARATION for the burned sem
mary, but the punishment of all parties
found guilty in the matter. Minister
| Thompson is instructed that no al
legged prior acts of students are to
affect the rights of this government in
| the premises He is charged to give
renewed attention to the matter, and
] to dispatch a special messenger if
necessary to Consul Jewett and see to
the inviolabil of the official CORE
| spondence. The minister Is to act
promptly and advise the department by
cable. No effort is to he relaxed in
securing the legal rights of American
| citizens in Turkey.
1t is understood to be the policy of
the United States to make this Mar
sovar incident n test case in its rela-
tons with Turkey. There are at pres
emit more than 200 American citizens
residing in the Turkish empire who
have the management of property to
the value of over 50, 600, 900. Further
advices from Mr.. Thompson are looked
for very shortly.

BELLOWS OF FLAME.
They Sweep Over Nebraska With TerrIbl
Effect Much Property DESTROYED

They Sweep over Nebraska With Terrible
Effect Much Property Destroyed
OMAHA. Neb, April S-The gale
which swept over Nebraska bore before
it great pillows of flame which swept
from thousands of fertile acres every
vestige of vegetation The limits of
the fire. which has ragged ftfully dur
ing the last ten days, have become al
most state wide, and the destruction
that was thought might be small has
become enormous tits too soon to get
any idea of how much the exact damage
is, for the places most affected
are remote from telegraph lines, and in
those that have means of communica-
ton, the populace is busy fighting the
fire. 1t is known though, that much
grain and hay in store, together with
many barns and other outbuildings,
miles of fence, dozens of dwellings and
many bridges have been licked up.
Whether any lives have been lost is not
reported, though it seems almost be-
yond doubt that settlers who are To-
Gated far from easy assistance, must
have persisted.
Banner, Keith, Dawson, Blaine and
adjoining counties are completely de-
vastated by the flames In Banner
county the village of Ashmore is sup
posed to have been completely de-

burg by the driver of the Gering stage
that the town was directly in the
path of sea of fire at o'clock,

village was engaged in battle to
save their homes The stage driver re-
ported having seen several houses in
