to the Foreign Office that the Sultan has con-
sented to give full satisfaction to Austria upon
both of the points in dispute between tho Porte

from Constantinoplc the Porto had yielded to
the demands OF Austria in tho matter OF repara-
ton for the outrageous treatment of the agent
OF tho Austrian Lloyds Steamship Company at
Mersina by the Turkish officials at that place.
but was still resisting the claims of Austria for
indemnity for the transportation OF Turkish
troops over tho Oriental Railway. and her de-
mands for a concession for laying an additional
local track in Constantinople by that company.
To compel the Sultan to yield to those further
demands Baron Calico informed the Porto that
In the event OF the Sultan'L refusal to grant the
claims or the failure of the Ambassador to re-
ceive a favorable answer by noon on Thursday
he would leave Constantinople.
The whole dispute is now apparently settled.
