SULTAN MAKES NO MOVE.
SENDING OF A WARSHIP TO THE MEDI-
TERRANEAN MAY YET BE
NECESSARY.

Constantinople April 2S-The United States
Legation has not yet received the Porte's an
swer to the note handed to Tewf1k Pacha, the
Turkish Foreign Minister. by the American
Charge d'Afaires, regarding the indemnity
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 alterna-
tive, however, to be unlikely. The gen.
eral opinion is that without a display of force
the Porte certainly will not pay the claims, be-
cause it wishes to show the Mosem world that
1t only yields to force.
1t is not considered here that simple rupture
of diplomatic relations will render the Porte
easier to deal with: but rupture of formal re-
lations is not thought necessary. as the sending
of a warship to a Mediterranean port would suf-
flee to obtain a settlement of the matter in less
than twenty four hours.
The same proposition for settlement of the
indemnity question by order for warship.
in the price of which the indemnity should be
included. was formerly made to France and
Italy, but NJ. Constans and Senor Pansa reject
ed the proposal.
The newspaper criticisms and comments upon
the attitude of Turkey in this affair are causing
great irritation at the Yildiz Kiosk.
SEEKING TO EvADE CASH SETTLEMENT.
Washington April 2s-Al Ferrough Bey. the
TURKISH Minister, called at the state department
this afternoon and spent half hour in confer
ence with Secretary Hay. Beyond the state
ment that the indemnity claims were the subject
of discussion. nothing official could be learned of
what took place. 1t is gathered that the Turkish
effort is still in the direction of finding some
other means of escape from the present situation
than a cash settlement Thus there is believed
to be more talk of the old proposition to build a
Turkish cruiser here and settle the claims under
cover of such a transaction, but whatever the
character of the details of the Turkish PROPOSE
ton, it appears that there is attempt to deny
the obligation assumed toward these claimants
and embodied in the promises to Mr.. Straus, and
consequently there has been no refusal to pay
the debt in some manner.

GROVE C1Y, FL,


EDITOR GRAPHIC:
1 closed my last letter to you at
Punta Rassa, riding out a nOr'wester.
Well, along about 4 p. M, it looked
! like the wind might shift to the north,
which would give quite sweep at us,
SO 1 decided to pull out. Several
boatmen said 1 couldn't get out. We
were surrounded by boats at anchor,
wind dead on shore and shore less
| than a stones throw off, but they
| didn't know the Sharpe; for with two
reefs in mainsail and one in fOresail
she walked out of there like she had
steam, and l suppose there were a
hundred people watching to see us go
ashore, but they were disappointed.
| We anchored under lee of Fisherman
Key for the night.
| At next morning we got under
way for Blind Pass, stopping at St.
James on our way, and arriving at
Blind Pass about 10 a. M. the ladies
making at once for the beach, and We
didn't see them again until about 2,
when they came in loaded down with
shells. l think this the best place for
shells on the Gulf coast.
Here we fell in with the Greens on
their schooner, Annie B. They are
Chicago people. owning an orange
grove near Father, on Lemon bay.
We staid at Blind Pass three days,
shot a number of ducks, and found
the largest clam bed l ever saw, and
laid n two sacks full to take back to
the colonel.
On leaving Blind Pass we stopped
at a Mr.. Ormsby's, who owns one of
the largest cocoanut groves in this
section, also is an extensive truck
gardener, shipping to northern mar
kets. Our party gathered a few cocoa
nuts and fresh vegetables to replenish
our ever-decreasing larder. We made
sail for Captive Pass, coming to an
Choir off the Spanish Fish camp about |
D. M, the ladies, as usual, making
a break for the beach to pick up
shells, while Mr.. Wheeler and myself I
caught few shepherds for supper.
Next morning [ laid to with The
Sharpe in the pass, and we caught
few grupers, but it came on to blow
from the southeast so hard as to make
it uncomfortable, SO l squared away
for Lemon bay, arriving about 4 p.
NJ, and our cruise was over, we hav-
ing been out little over two weeks.
All seemed to enjoy themselves.
Yours, etc., d. MCLEWIS.
