PRACTICALLY AN ULTIMATUM.
American Note to Sultan Produces
Great ImpressiOn-Not Ready
To Pay, However.

Constantinople, April 2S.-The Amer
lean note handed to the Turkish min
lister of foreign affairs, Tewfik Pasha,
IN Tuesday is couched in peremptory
terms. demanding immediate payment
for the indemnity several times prom
ised to Minister Straus by the sultan.
The note does not fix time limit for
an answer, but its tenor is not far
rom the character of an ultimatum.
II has produced a great impression
upon the porte, which, however. shows
no disposition to modify the attitude
hitherto maintained, namely, repudiat-
ing the responsibility and seeking to
diminish the Importance of the mat
ter. 1t is presumed that the porte's
reply will be in this sense; and hence,
it is feared the United States govern
ment will be obliged to take steps to
enforce its demands.
Turkeys decision to send an officer
to America to study naval construc
ton is interpreted to be another sop.
1t is the revival of an old project to
buy a cruiser in the United States, in
the price of which the indemnity shall
be included. so that the porte will be
able to say it has not paid the in
demnity. The American government
has already categorically refused such
compromise. which would mean pro-
longed negotiations and the dragging
out of the matter indefinitely. to which
the United States will not listen. AS
regards the indemnity. it is in the ma

OFF FOR CHICAGO.
Admiral and Mrs. Dewey Leave
Washington for Their Western
and Southern Trip.

Washington, April 30.-Admiral Dew
ey accompanied by Mrs. Dewey and his
private secretary, Lieut.. Caldwell, left
here Sunday at noon in a special train
over the Baltimore q Ohio railroad, en-
route to Chicago, to participate in the
celebration of the second anniversary
of the battle of Manila. Their train
was one of the finest which has ever
left the capital city. 1t consisted of
three handsome cars fitted with every
luxury and to insure the greatest pos
sible comfort for the travellers. Upon
the central windows on either side of
the three cars was painted the ad-
miral's flag, and the hotel car was pro-
fusely decorated with flowers and
ported plants. Just before the train
pulled out of the station, Mrs. Dewey
was presented with a handsome bou-
quet of American beauty roses. Prob
ably thousand people were on hand
and cheer went up Us the train finally
pulled out.
Washington, April 3O.-Admiral Dew
ely was seen Sunday at his home, just
before leaving the city for Chicago,
and was asked if he had any statement
to make regarding the presidency.
NO" said he, 81 think it would be in
bad taste for me to say anything of a
political nature just at this time. As
the admiral of the navy, accepted the
invitations to visit Chicago, Jackson
vile, st. Louis, Memphis, Nashville and
Knoxville, which cities had asked me
TO be their guest, and / do not wish
anything political to enter into the
trip"

The Eminent Kidney
and Bladder Specialist.

There is disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it-heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the. result of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to adj
vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by CELL
Then the richness of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's
Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble.

covery is the true specific for kidney, bladder

badly hurt Friday afternoon in the

which the instrument was packed
slipped in being unloaded from the

fell on tie right leg of the young man

severely bruised and mashed but
there were no fractures. The injury
caused immoderate swelling and was
very painful and may cause the young

came general and extended over frontage
of ten miles The rifle, maxim and artil-
lery firing was deafening. At three o'clock
the Canadians advanced in open order, but,
meeting with a terrific fire, they took shell
ter in a donga. When they finally captured
the kopje the Beers were seen retiring
north and east with wagons and subse-
quently, when the infantry made a dash,
the rest of the enemy fired few shots and
cleared off. On occupying Thaba NChu
we found the stores and hotels all looted
by the Beers. The natives complain of hav
ing their horses and cattle stolen and of
cruel treatment. The English residents
were subjected to taunts and insults.

Il learn that Boer reenforcements from
Brandfort came too late to assist their
comrades. We found photographic mes
sage from President Steyn to Gen. Botha
saying it was unadvisable to send more
troops to Fourteen Streams, as the fed
erals were already too weak between
Bloemfontein and kroonstad and because
there were $4,000 British at Bloemfontein..

SHOW IMPATIENCE.
London Papers Criticise Delay in
the Advance.

London, April 30.--The only dis
patch from Lord Roberts published
Sunday was the usual list of deaths
and sickness. The flood of newspaper
dispatches describing the recent OPP
erations throws no light whatever
upon the present position of affairs or
upon the great question as to when
the main advance is to begin. The
Standards announcement that Gen.
French's cavalry are returning to
Bloemfontein is clear proof that there
is no further hope of catching the re-
treating Beers, and the London pa
pers are beginning to display impa-
thence at the practical failure of the
elaborate preparations of last week.
The Daily Chronicle remarks; "We
are reluctant to criticise Lord Rob-
erts, but it is impossible to shut our
eyes to the fact that, during the last
ten days we have gained very little
from our enormous display of force"
Urgent Need of Horses.
Without Goubt these operations have
been of very eNhausting nature, and
will entail further delay. The Bloem-
fontein correspondent of the Times,
writing on March 3, after the Paarde-
berg affair, describes Lord Roberts
army as a wreck because it was
without horses and without transport.
The Bloemfontein correspondent of the
Post speaks now of the urgent need at
present and always of more horses.
The sudden decision of the Boer
peace delegates to go to America is at
tributed to the fact that the govern
ment of the Netherlands, after sound
ing all the European capitals, told them
they had nothing to hope from Eu-
rope.
