CONSTANTINOPLE, Friday, April
27.-The United States legation has moi
yet received The Porte's answer to the
note handed to Tewfik Pasha, the Turk
ish foreign minister, by the American
charge de'affaires regarding the in
demnity claims; and the impression is
gaining ground that the reply will be
in the negative, or even that no reply
will be made. The latter alternative
however, seems to be unlikely. The
genera, opinion is that without a dis
play of force The Porte certainly will
not pay the claims, because it wishes
to show the moslem world that it only
yields to force.
1t is not considered here that sim
pie rupture of diplomatic relations will
render The Porte easier to deal with
but a rupture of formal relations is
not thought necessary, as the sending
of warship to a Mediterranean port
would suffice to obtain a settlement of
the matter in less than twentyfour
hours.
The same proposition for the settle
ment of the indemnity question by an
order for warship, in the price of
which the indemnity should be includ-
ed, was formally made to France and
Italy, but NJ. Constans and Senior Pan
sa both rejected the proposal
The newspaper criticisms and COM
ments upon the attitude of Turkey in
this affair are causing great irritation
at the Yildiz Kiosk.
WASHINGTON, April 2S.-The Unit
ed States government has not received
the slightest intimation from any Eu-
ropean nation of disposition on its
part to interfere in any manner in the
present dispute between the United
States and Turkey over the American
indemnity claims. 1t may be also stat
ed on the best authority that none of
the representatives of the European
powers in Washington has requested
the State Department to deliver itself
of any explanation of its intention af-
fecting Turkey, nor does our govern
ment anticipate any interference by
third parties in this matter so long as
our claims are confined to their present
perfectly legitimate basis.
All that can be stated by authority
respecting Mr.. Griscoms course at Con-
stantinople is contained in the general
declaration that he is pursuing in
structions to insist to the Turkish gov
eminent upon redemption of its
promise to pay the American indem-
nifty claims. Naturally the officials de-
cline to intimate what steps will be
resorted to in case Mr.. Griseom's re-
quest is denied. They prefer to believe
that the demand will meet with sue
cess. The phase to be feared is pro-
crastination on the part of the Turkish
government; something harder to
meet than an unqualified refusal to
pay. 1t is understood that Mr.. Girls
com is shaping his representations to
the Porte with special reference to the
avoidance of this Ditfal

LONDON, April $3.50 a. m.-The
total absence of news from the seat
of war in South Africa during the last
twenty-four hours, it is presumed, in
dicates that operations are progressing
which is deemed prudent to keep Sc
cret.
So far as the situation in the south
eastern part of the Free State can be
worked out from the latest dispatches,
the main body of the Beers, composed
of the forces recently holding Thaba
N'Chu, Leeuw Kop and De Vets Dorp,
is retiring, probably with view to
joining in the neighborhood of Lady
brand and commanders from the vi
entity of Wepener, who, according to
a dispatch from Aliway North, dated
April rs, made good their retreat to
Ladybrand. The main body of the
Beers is being followed up by Generals
Hamilton, French, Brabant and Hart,
while Gen. Rumble also is on the spot.
The British thus have an overwhelm-
iug'y superior force and ought 10 wipe
OUT the Beers if they succeed in over
taking them and bring them to bay,
1t may be assumed that the Beers
are to the eastward of line drawn
from Thaba N'Chu to Wepener. The
retreat, it seems, is being carried out
without fighting, which indicates that
the Beers have a good start and the
dispatches say that they are not ham
pered much by transport and leave no
visible wheel tracks behind them on
the veldt.
This initiates against the probability
of their being overtaken and forced to
decisive action. While it is possible
that news of such battle may come
at any moment the chances seem even
that the retreating commanders may
get away without being forced to turn
and fight.
1t is within the range Of possibilities
that Lord Roberts without waiting for
the outcome of these mannoeuvers,
may begin his advance northward.
This may be the secret that the con-
sorts has been so jealousy guarding.
The outcome of this interesting situa-
ton cannot now be long delayed.
The news from other points is un-
important and uninteresting. Snip
ing and Smelling continue about War
renton, apparently Intellectually, as no
casualties have been reported on either
side.
A special dispatch from Beira. dated
April q, states that the dispatch of
General Carrington's division to Rho
desia is proceeding as rapidly as cir
cumstances will permit. Seven trans
ports have already landed troops and
stores.

sharks teeth about her bronze throat.
Her arms and limbs are bare. She has
seen shoes, but she prefers to be com
Portable. She also refuses stockings,
contrary to the Samoan warrior, who, it
is told, rrxs sched with his comrades in
battle array wearing pair of opera
length silk hose, the soles of which were
worn completely off. These had no
doubt been given to him b% some Eu-
ropean travellers.
Although the Samoan girl does not
wear clothes, properly speaking, she is
taught while still very young to en-
broider and sew.
The hairpins worn in her hair are
beautiful in their workmanship. They
are made out of the wood of cocoanut
tree, and are carved with dead cocoa
nut leaf. This is most delicate work.
The girls are taught to swim when
babies. They are graceful and readily
learn to dance. As people the Samoans
are great dancers, and during their
holiday seasons they dance day and
night. They are also fond of music,
and have native instruments, which
they beat to strange rhythmic music,
not altogether beautiful, but har-
monious.
The marriage of the Samoan girl is
arranged by her parents. The girl never
thinks of having any opinion of her own
on the subject, but accepts the parents
decision as inevitable. This does not
prevent her from having any number
of admirers before or after marriage,
which seems to be another matter en-
tirely. She is far more interesting in
her native costumes, pursuing the GUS
tomary life of her own people, than
when she tries to ape the foreigners
who visit her beautiful tropical country
to admire her in all her native sim
plicity and beauty.-N. Y. Tribune.

THE GIRLS OF SAMOA.
They Wear Kilt Skirts and Necklaces
OF Sharks Teeth and Are
Born COquettes.

The girl of Samoa is born coquette,
full of romance and natural grace. Her
usual costume is a necklace of sharks
teeth, some metal earrings and a short
skirt. The number of sharks teeth in
her necklace is the measure of her popu-
larity among her admirers. The more
teeth the greater the belle.
From the time she is ten years of age
she begins to make eyes from behind
beautifully carved fan. As usual with
coquettes, she is tickle in the extreme,
as well as romantic. Her nature is as
fierce as that of the warriors of her
country, and she is a thoroughly
trained athlete as well. She is skillful
in the use of arms and is cruel and re-
lentless in war. She is equal in strength
to many of the Samoan warriors.
For dress occasions the older Samoan
girls wear the same costume as man.
This is a kilt or piece of drapery wound
about the waist in a manner which
seems to a foreigner nothing short of
miraculous. This is called lava-lava, a
sort of mat material. A mere scrap of
it wound about the waist of a child is
the children wear no garments what
ever. The drapery is of the same gen
eral character as that worn by natives
of most of the South Sea islands and the
Indian archipelago, as well as the south
ern countries of Asia. 1t is called by
the Malays the sarong.
But the Samoan girl has been out in
the world more or less of late years.
The tourists from other countries have
visited Samoa; so the natural beauty of
the native Samoan girl is being spoiled
by her great vanity. She not only
spends great deal of time in beautify-
ing herself, but she adopts such incon-
gruous combinations as a fine mat lava
lava and ball gown waist or velvet
basque cut V necked, her hair done up
empire style and wearing, to complete
her toilet, a string of ferns around her
waist and a necklace of the inevitable

Here is unique method of saving
old letters. A youthful bride has
been trying to bring herself to
burning up her love letters. They
had accumulated during the years
of her engagement to such an eX-
tent that to save them all was
out of the question, and to burn them
was out of the question, too. Instead,
she has torn them, painstakingly, into
small bits and changed them into an
embroidered covered pillow. It's a
Suggestive idea, and might be utii-
lied in preserving all sorts of old let

HOW TO CLEAN JEWELRY.
To Keep Diamonds Sparkling and
Silver Trinkets Shining Is Not
a Difficult Task.

Diamonds may be cleaned by brush
ing them with lather of soap and wa
ter, rubbing them afterwards with eau
de cologne. If well shaken in bag of
bran they acquire great brilliancy. Cut
stones should not be wiped after being
washed. Wash in a iather of white
soap, rinse and put on their faces in
sawdust until quite dry. Opals which
have become dim may be polished by
rubbing them well with oxide of tin or
with damp putty spread on chamois
leather; finish with damp powdered
chalk, also spread on leather. Then
wash the opals with a soft brush in wa
ter and then immersed in the follow
ing: Salt one pine, alum one pint, salt
peter two pints, water four pints.
Leave the silver in this for five minutes,
then rinse in cold water and polish with
a leather. They should be kept in sill
yer paper. OXidized silver can be
cleaned in a quarter of pint of sui
phuric acid. mi.ed with one quart
of water. Ordinary silver articles may
be kept bright by cleaning them with
slice of lemon and afterward rinsing
in cold water. Then wash in lather OF
soap and rinse in hot water, dry with
soft cloth and polish with a leather
Nickel should be rubbed with a flannel

Instead of Using water After n Walk

Many skins will not stand constant

for most women, and is far prefer

that a wash would be refreshing, it

with a glass or porcelain spoon, add

Be sure you get the simple tincture
of benzoin. as the compound tincture
contains other ingredients quite un.
suited to the purpose. Some skins will
not stand glycerine. If this is thu

is to omit it from the emulsion. Never
use pure glycerine to the skin of the
