BRITISH YORACITY.

New York, Oct. Ga dispatch to To-
cal paper from Panama says:
The audacious claim against the Col
umbian government of the English rail-
road contractors continues to be the all
absorbing topic of conversation in the
press and of excitement among all class
es. The contract for building the San
lander railway was similar to that for
building the Antioquia railway. The
same contractors rejected it suddenly a
long time ago, alleging through their To-
cal agent, Mr.. Spencer, that not having
the necessary funds and being unable to
raise loan they were incapable of full
filling their obligations.
The government agreed to pay them
small amount, which they had spent in
preliminary work. In November, 1893,
Spencer was authorized to settle all the
claims against the government by the
contractors for 100000. Now the sum
claimed is f640,000 equal to sum of
about 100000 pesos in silver.

A REPORT DENIED.
Havana, Oct. 6.-The correspondent of

notified by cable that a dispatch had
been received there from Madrid an
nouncing that the Herald of the latter
city had published dispatch from Ha-
vana saying that it was reported here
that the Spanish cruiser Condo de Vena-
ditto had foundered, called upon Admiral
JmaZ, the commander of the Spanish
naval forces here, and questioned him
as to the truth of the rumor. The adj
miral had simply classed the report as
positively untrue. He said that the Ven
adito sailed Wednesday last from Mariel
in company with the Spanish cruiser
Infanta Isabel to see what could he
done towards saving the guns or other
parts of the wrecked cruiser CristObal
Colon, or if possible to float the latter
vessel, and there was no reason to sup
pose that the Condo de Venadito had met
with any accident.
The admiral explained that it was
impossible for such important news to
have reached Madrid and to have been
cabled back here without the authorities
of Havana having heard something, es-
pecially as the Venadito was in company
with the Infanta Isabel. AS already

AFFAIRS IN CONSTANTINOPLE.
Constantinople, Oct Con Saturday
Sir Phillip Currie, the British ambassa-
dor, had an interview with Kiamel
Pasha, the grand vizier, in which he made
strong representations and forcibly urged
upon him to cease making arrests of
Armenans. Kiamel Pasha in reply ex-
pressed his anxiety to improve the situa-
ton. 1t is expected that he will advise
the sultan to grant amnesty to all the
ArmenianS who have been arrested in
connection with the riots since Monday.
The ambassadors of the powers held
conference today and drew up collect
i've note, which will be presented to the
porte tomorrow. Afterwards they went
to the porte personally and made verbal
representations on the subject of Ar
menia. The foreign men-of-war, which
are acting as guard ships, have been or
dered to moor in the harbor for the win
ter in order to protect foreigners in
case of riots.
Phillip Currie has asked leave of the
government to visit the Armenians now
in prison in order to draw up report.
Up to Friday so bodies had been regis
tered as victims of the disorder, all of
which had been terribly wounded Some
of them contained over twenty gashes.
besides bullet wounds, and others had
been battered with bludgeons so as to
be unacceptable. All accounts concur
that the number of victims thrown into
the sea was only three. The gen d'armes
