On the Case Of Missionary knapp-In =
New Light.

WASHINGTON. May Ex-senator Mills
has received IA letter from Minister
Terrell. who says that all the talk of
the Turks expelling Missionary Knapp
from Turkey is untrue. MIR. Terrell
says that Knapp was frightened into
leaving his post in Bitlis, near the
Russian frontier. lie was told that
the Turks could not protect him
against the Kurds. American Chris
tians accused him of exciting rev.
olution. The porte wanted him to
remain in Turkey. but at a different
post. When Mr.. Knapp left Bitlis Sec
rotary Olncy demanded that he should
he escorted hack. but it was not lone be-
cause the missionary leaders at Con-
stantinople feared he would be killed
if sent back. and he remained in Con-
stantinople until September last, when
he left that place for Germany.
Mr.. Terrell says Knapp car return TO
Turkey when he pleases.

THE REVOLUTION IN URUGUAY


WAsHIsGToS. May 15.-Recent mail
advices from Uruguay received here
state that the revolution had been
checked after i bloody battle at Tres
Arbeles. in which a large number of
revolutionists were killed and their
leaders driven To the frontier. At the
same time the government has seen fit
to allay public discomfort by taking
into the ministry several leaders who
heretofore have been regarded as lead
ers in the seditious movement.
The minister of war, Gen. Diaz, gave
way for this purpose To Gen. Perez,
who was acting president of the com
mittee. denounced as seditious and revo-
lutionary. This is accepted as the first
step toward making terms with the
revolutionists. although a strict cen
sorship of the press prevents any con
struction being placed on the curse Of
the government
The fighting has been bloody, the
deaths reaching into the hundreds.
The president has issued a proclama-
tion congratulating Gen. Nunez on his
last success in dispensing the revolu-
tionists. and a dress sword is to be pre-
scented To him. The government forces
have beer reinforced by mobilizing tho
national guard, made up of Il. 900 men.

taken his gun and might kill the team.
sters, Mr.. Gracey at once sent a man
up on horseback. About six miles up

the teamsters lay on the ground near
their wagons. He at once retu. ned
and warned the people at the mill. A.
III. Gracey. the foreman, and two men
