weeks ago. Two notifications have been
sent him and he has not replied to
either. They informed him that he
would have to resume at once or his
contract would be forfeited and his
bondsmen made to pay for the delin-
quency.
When asked about the letting of n
new contract md how long 1t would
take before that could be done and the
work resumed. he stated that n nav
contract might not be let, but that the
work might be done under the lmme-
dlate supervision OF the war depart

at once. The delay win not be tolerated
any longer. Major Powell thinks tina!
Mr.. Mcdonald does not intend to come
back as he has taken everything OF

that he has given is 100000 and the

NEW YORK. April 2O.-A special to
the Tribune from Washington says:
II All Ferrouh Bey communicated
with his government to-day the sultan
must now be fully aware OF the gravity
with which the United States regard
the existing state OF affairs. It is in
conceivable that the minister has not
warned his sovereign Of the American
attitude after officially learning at the
state department to-day that the mat.
ter had not been magnlfed by the press,
that the patience OF the President and
the people had been exhausted and that
the prompt redemption OF the sultan's
repeated promises might have to be
pgremp,oHly demanded.

a special to the World from WASH

It Is .ntlmated tonight by diplomats
familiar with the situation that the sui
tan otTurkey does not care particular
ly whether an ultlmatum is issued by

years o' promises. as he has means OF

Th'Fg are In the Philippines more
than ai0oO00 Mohammedans in the sulu

is taHaucal. The sultan would have
but 70 lIit his finger and these Malays

extended 10 every direction throughout
