REVOLUTION IN ECUADOR.
The Cruiser Ranger Sent 20 Gunrd
American Interests.

American interests.
Washington, May THE United States
cruiser Ranger left Buena Ventura, May 2,
under cabled orders to proceed with all
possible dispatch 10 Esmeralda for the
protection of American citizens and prop
erty endangered by the revolution which
has commenced ia Ecuador. The state de-
partment was in possession OF advices
of this revolt at least ten days ago, but
the facts have been until to-day success
fully suppressed from the public
The naval authorities frankly say, how
ever, that on the request Of the state de-
partment, urgent instructions have been
sent to Commander Watson Of the Ranger,
then at Buena Ventura. 500 miles from
Guayaquil. j. ID. Tillman, the new Amer
lean minister 10 Ecuador left Washington,
April 10th for his post al Quito, the cap
ital and should be in Guayaqui by this
time. The journey from the port
to the capital Is accomplished on
only by primitive vehicle and usually takes
three weeks. The provinces Of canar and
Los Rios, whore the rebels are strongest
are between Quito and Guayaquil, and Il
IS not likely that Minister Tiilman has
been able to leave the coast.
The present revolution has been antici-
pated by the Ecuadorean government for
the past three or four months, and, accord
ing to private letters received here was eX-
pected to be more serious than Latin
American rcvolts usually are.
The latest cable news shows that the up
rising is general, extending to all the more
important provinces near the coast and
that Vt is exceedingly well organized.

Mass of Contradictions.

Constantinople, May THE United
Press representative here learns that the
report of the Armenian commission is
destined to be a mass of contradictory
statements of the Turkish delegates YER
sus the foreign delegates. The porte, it
is learned, will certainly adopt the state
ments of the former and refuse to accept
the latter as a basis of reforms hence
the scheme OF the Turkish committee on
Armenian reforms recently submitted to
and approved by the sultan empowering
Armenians with a share in the provincial
government does not ailude to Sassoun.
There is a story abroad that the foreign
scheme of Armenian reforms shortly to
be presented to the porte by Russia, Eng
land and France, is based upon the as
certained fact that the porte has made
no improvements in the administration
of affairs in Armenia in accordance with
the terms of the treaty of Berlin.
A dispatch from Varna to the Central
News says that the Turkish government
has abandoned al impracticable the pro-
Dosed libel suits which were to have been
brought against London newspapers for

from time to time. The debt carries in
terest at six per cent. and a quarter of one
per cent. commission. The creditors have

of the system. The money can be bor-
rowed and the lenders subrogated to the
rights of the present creditors under the
floating debt.
The time for depositing the Savannah
