OUR CONSUL GENERAL IN CUBA.
An Extension of His Rights Asked
From Spain.

Washington. Oct. BIT is understood
that Secretary Olney has requested the
Spanish government to extend to United
States Consul General Williams at Ha-
vana the privilege of presenting to and
conferring upon them with the captain
general, certain diplomatic matters, such
as are connected with the protection of the
lives and property of American citizens
in Cuba. 1t is reported from Havana
that the Spanish government instructed
the captain general to notify Mr.. Williams
that he would be recognized by the
officials of the island only in commerciai
and consular matters, pursuant to the
terms of the treaty of 1893.
Secretary Olney, in accordance with his
policy in these matters, declines to say
anything about the report, but it is said
that the request, not a demand, as ii has
been characterized, is based upon the fav-
ored nation clause Of the treaty. BY the
provisions of the treaties between Spain
and certain other European governments
the consuls of those countries in Cuba are
empowered to act in diplomatic capacity
in certain contingencies and Secretary
Olney protests against the construction OF
the treaty of 1893 that ignores the right
of the United States consul general 10
represent his fellow citizens in Cuba IN
the case of trouble to any OF them or their
possessions.

While in Berlin, Prince Lobanoff- -Ros-

sert that his coming was arranged a

never met Prince Lebanon and expressed
a desire to become acquainted with him.
Some of the Sunday journals take ad-
vantage of Prince Lobanoff's visit to pup
hsh stories connecting his presence here
with change of policy on the part OF
Germany in connection with her eastern
relations, whereby England is to be ousted
from cooperation with Russia and France
in regard to Armenia and be forced to
take subordinate and isolated position.
Nobody who has even remote knowi-
edge of current politics believes this but
the stories serve their obvious purpose of
exciting discussion
The social disorder which is prevalent
on the Russian frontier of Armenia is in
dlcated by advices received to-day from
ST petersburg. According to these re-
ports the Kurdish chief Nabii is levying
tribute by force in the Russian district
OF Eriyan, where he is seizing cattle,
numbering men, Christian and Moslenf
alike, and carrying off women and chill

TURKEY TO INVESTIGATE.
Innocent Armenians to he Released
From Prison.

Constantinople, Oct. 13.-The porte is
evidently aware of the fact that procras-
tination in replying to certain of the de-
mands of the powers will be no longer
tolerated. This is evidenced by the action
taken to-day by the minister Of police in
response to the demands of the six powers
that an investigation be held into the re-
cent rioting, and that innocent Armeu-
fans who We're imprisoned on charges of
completely in the disturbances be released
The minister Of police to-day informed
the embassies that a commission, formed
Of members Of the different branches OF
the administration, has been appointed
to inquire into the guilt or innocence of
the Armenians who have been arrested
since Sept. 80. The minister has also prom
ised to deal severely with anybody thar
the embassies can prove has tortured
prisoners in jail.
1t is reported that many persons were
killed or wounded in the riots at Ismid.
London, Oct 13-The Daily News will
tomorrow publish a dispatch from Con-
stantinople saying that the negotiations
relative to. the reforms in Armenia de-
manded by Great Britain and Germany
are in a less satisfactory position than
they were few days ago. Much hostility
is expressed to the idea of the reforms
beneftting the Armenians alone, to the
exclusion of the Moslems.
The dispatches add that rumor is cur
rent to the effect that an Armenian was
murdered while leaving the Koum Kapou
church. The report has caused much ag1-
tation in the district.
The Standard will tomorrow publish a
Constantinople dispatch saying that Sir
Philip Currie, the British ambassador
had an interview with the sultan on FRI
day. 1t is understood that the sultan pro-
tested against the rebellious, dissa tisfied
attitude of the Armenians, who he de-
clared, seemed bent at all hazards on
pushing the patience of the Turks be-
yond endurance. The dispatch adds thar
there seems to be a general reaction
against granting the reforms demanded
for Armenia, based largely on dislike to
appearing to admit that the Armenians
were justified in provoking the recent
riots. In addition to the surveys that viii
be made for forts at Bosika bay and the
laying of submarine mines in the Oar
danelles there is great activity among the
garrison troops, especially the artillery

force was divided into two columns under
Gems. MetZinger and Voyron. After a hot
contest the Hovas were driven from their
position but still resisted the advance of
the French.
The dispatch briefly records the pro-
gress of the battle until o'clock in the
afternoon. Then the enemies batteries at
the palace and at the north end of the
capital opened on the French. Gen. Du-
chesne then ordered a general lombard
ment and sent six columns to attack the
town. At this point the Hovas sent mes
sengers to demand a truce. Gen. Du-

centennial exhibition was for Phlada1~-
phia, and he considered II a great show
ing that in a city Of 10000 Inhabitants
