Sultan Tells His Troubles.

PARIS, Oct g. The Debats contains an
account of an interview had by French
man with the sultan at Constantinople
on Sunday, in which the latter declared
that any civil or military officer convicted
of failing to do his duty during the recent
massacres in Constantinoplo would be
punished. The sultan is reported to have
added that the government would endeavor
to Introduce reforms gradually, and that
he would abide by all the pledges contain
ed in the treaty Of Berlin, although GER
tain clauses in that treaty favorable to
Turkey had purpOsely been forgotten
The people Of Europe, the sultan pointed
out, were too apt to forget the material
difficulties hindering the effects Of his
good will. His Asiatio empire, he said,
contained two provinces which were alone
equal in size to France, and several of the
distant vilayets had scarcely any roads or
telegraphs. The different idiOsynorasies
and aspirations of each race in the empire
had to be considered The sultan strongly
emphasized his desire that there should be
great improvements in the government
and in the empire, and he urged that If
progress were slow it was due TO the Arme-
mans having caused trouble.

There will be no appeal from tho de-

which has just arrived from Jamaican
ports, brings news Of the great fire which
destroyed two-thirds of the town of JAG
mel on Sept. 1o go and 81. At 10 o'clock
in the morning the alarm of fire was given,
and every effort was made at once 90 have
it extinguished There was, however no
water, the supply, It is said, having been
stopped. The fire originated on tho hill
near tho cathedral and completely destroy
ed that edifioe. The flames burned sea-
ward, destroying all the houses and stores
between the hill and the sea. No water
could be obtained at any time during the
fire, which ragged from Saturday morning
until Tuesday night, when the Andes left.
On that night the fire was still smolder-
ing. The loss sustained is estimated at
50, 100000. The fire is supposed to be the
work Of an inceudiary. Great destitution
prevails, and it is fortunate that the Andes
had large cargo from New York for that
place. This was landed in time TO relieve
distress and commanded a ready sale.
