An Interview With washburn.

CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-George +. Washburn
of the Populst national executive COM
mittee arrived here unexpectedly from
Thomson and Atlanta, where he and
Committeeman H. W. Reed had been in
conference with Mr.. Watson, Populist
vice presidential nominee. When inform
cd of the failure of the Populist- Demo
cratic fusion conference, Mr.. Washburn
expressed no surprise. AS he was to have
remained In Atlanta to be present at that
conference his sudden change of base was
the cause of no little speculation In politi-
cal circles. 1t is stated on good authority
that Mr.. Washburn returned so suddenly
for the purpose of comforting with Chair
man Jones of the Democratic national
committee and to place before him, in the
form of an ultimatum, two or three prop
ositions from Mr.. Watson looking to
the latter S recognition ON the fusion ticket
in the different states. 1t is expected that
should Mr. Jones refuse to favorably con-
slider these propositions, securing for Mr..
Watson what he believes to be his rights
in the matter sensational developments
will follow 1t is stated that Mr.. Watson
is prepared, In the event of Mr.. Jones' re-
fusal, to take position which will prove
the political sensation of the campaign.

however, when asked if he had seen Mr..

'Ges, saw copy. 1t is interesting

Tennessee and then to North Carolina,

In relation to these negotiations have not
been made public. 1t seems that the draft

nople and forwarded to Washington. Pres.
ident Harrison approved the draft and for
warded it to the senate for ratification.
Several discussions took place in that
body in executive session over the arti
cles. Finally certain amendments were
adopted. These, with the draft, were re.
turned to Mr.. Harrison and were later
forwarded to Minister Hirsoh. The senate
amendments were not acceptable to the
sultan's government. There the negotia-

that this draft and the suggestions of the

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 21.-The Times

II the Spanish authorities had taken
Senior Angel Fernandez off the Ward line
steamer Nigilancia while that vessel was
in the Havana harbor last Friday, United
States warships would have Immediately
been ordered to Havana to enforce de-
mand for reparation, and war between this
country and Spain would have undoubted
ly resulted. For three hours last Friday
the United States and Spain were on the
brink of war, and the threatening situa-
tion was only relieved when the Spanish
authorities ignominiously backed down
and allowed the Vigilancia to proceed to
sea with Fernandez still on board A let
ter received here from correspondent in
Havana, who Is close to Consul General
Lee, gives dramatic account of the cpl
sode. According to the letter, when the
Vigilancia put into Havana, the Spanish
authorities demanded the surrender of
Senior Angel Fernandez, a Mexican, on
board the vessel The Spaniards alleged
that Fernandez was not a Mexican, but a
subject of Spain. Captain John Mcintosh
of the Vigilancia refused to surrender
Fernandez. Then the Spanish authorities
told Mcintosh that II the Vigilancia at
tempted to go to sea with Fernandez on
board she would be sunk by the guns of

Captain Mcintosh Immediately laid the
matter before Consul General Lee, who
complimented the captain on his bravery

Left to TerreIps Discretion.

Admitting that two of the three serious
controversies with the porte are so near
adjustment, the official was asked il the
fact would influence the movements of the
Bancroft. He declined to answer the ques-
tion and refused to say anything bearing
on that little vessels mission The i'm
preston in we'll informed circles is that
the latest concession from the sultan will
at least operate to delay the gunboat's
starting for the Dardenelles
There seems to be no Weakening on the
part of the authorities, but the idea has
been suggested that 1t would be bad diplo-
macy at this stage of official controversy
to irritate the sultan by sending the vessel
the other hand, it is remembered that
many Constantinople promises are made
to be broken. From what can be learned,
the question has been left to the discretion
of Minister Terrell for decision.
A subordinate official speaking to
correspondent, said that he daily expected
to hear that the sultan had granted fir
man to the Bancroft. He confidently
counted on this being the next concession
from Turkey. He stated that it now
seemed advisable to ask for such permit in
view of the sultan's apparent intention of
looking favorahly upon American de-
mands. In his opinion Mr.. Terrell's re-
quest for firman, when made would be
promptly granted. 1t was his belief that
the sultan now knew that Russia regard
ed favorably the wish of this government
to send a vessel to the Turkish capital.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Additional evil
dence of the value of war vessels in dipo-

Only three days ago the state department
learned through Minister Terrell that the
sublime porte had yielded to the demand
of this country that the wives and chill
dren of naturalized Armenians be permit
ted to come to this country to join their
husbands and fathers. This concession
was made about two days after it became
known that the European squadron had
rendezyoused at Smyrna and that the
United States had determined to send the
gunboat Bancroft to Constantinople Now
comes official word to the state depart
ment, through the Turkish legation in
this city, that the sultan's government is
prepared to open negotiations with this
country looking to the ratification of
treaty the terms of which shall distinctly
provide what is and what is not the juris
diction of the porte over naturalized
Americans born in the Turkish empire
who may return to the places of their
birth.
This is an important concession by the
sultan. That and the question of permit
ting families of Armenian A Americans to
como to the United States having been
amicably adjusted, there remains unset
tied only one urgent demand of this coun-
try, that relating to the payment of the
indemnity for damages to American prop
erty. Naturally the authorities are much
pleased to learn that the porte will agree
