MIGHT FIGHT TURKEY.

Diplomatic Relations Between That COun-
try and America Are Critical.
WASHINGTON, April 19.-There is no
longer any question that the diplomatic
relations between the United States
and Turkey are in a critical state, grow
ing out Of the sultan's bad faith. He
promised to pay the indemnity claims
Of the American missionaries for the
destruction of eight buildings belong
ing to the American missionaries at
Marash during the Armenian massacre
Of 1896. Mr.. Strauss, United States
minister to Turkey, is at present in the
United States on leave Of absence. AS
has already been announced he pre-
sented his resignation, but the presi-
dent, regarding the services Of Mr..
Strauss as indispensable, indefinitely
extended his leave, subject to the call of
the secretary of state whenever circum-
stances may necessitate his return.
Diplomacy appears to have exhausted
itself at Constantinople, the sultan hav.
ing promised to pay the indemnity
claims, amounting to some 100000,
which promise was again renewed prior
to Mr.. Strauss departure, and, al.
though 16 months have elapsed since
the promise was first made, that
Promise Remains Unfulfilled.
What action the government will now
take to enforce the sultan's promise is
not definitely known, but as the stu.
alton is critical it may result in Secre.
tary Hay sending the Turkish minister
at Washington his passports.
The situation if practically this: Our
minister has succeeded in obtaining
Judgment by confession upon the claims
which confession was made by the sui
tan himself, but the execution remains
unsatisfed. Diplomacy has exhausted
itself, and Mr.. Strauss has, under the
guidance of Secretary Hay, done every
thing diplomacy can accomplish to bring
the sultan's attention to the seriousness
of the situation. Our minister as well
as our government hoped that the sui
tan's promises, though delayed, would
be fulfilled.
During the continuation of Minister
Strauss leave of absence the legation
is in charge of Captain Lloyd O. Girls

ROBERTS TO WAR OFFICE.

Dispatch From South African Commander
Scoring Butler and Others.
LONDON. April 19.-The war office
publishes in The Gazette dispatch
from Lord Roberts, dated Feb. is, sub.
mitting General Buller's dispatches
describing the Spion Kop and other
operations from Jan. II to Jan. "a.
Lord Roberts deals severely with Gen.
eral Warren and some others. Even
General Butler does not escape.
Lord Roberts complains that the plan
Of operations is not clearly described in
the dispatches. After sketching Gen.
eral Buller's intentions, as commune
Gated to Sir Charles Warren who COM
manded the whole force, Lord Roberts
points out that General Warren seems
to have concluded, after consultation
with his officers, that the danking
movement ordered by General Butler
wasimpracticable and therefore changed
the plan Of advance as to necessitate the
capture and retention Of Spion Kop.
Regarding the withdrawal from Spion
Kop, the retention of which had become
essential to the relief of Iadysmith,
Lord Roberts says:
Disagrees with Butler.
II regret to be unable to- concur with
Butler in thinking Thornycroft exer-
cised wise discretion in ordering the
troops to retire.
After criticizing Colonel Thorny-
croft's assumption Of responsibility and
authority as wholly inexcusable, and
scoring General Warren for neglect of
duty, Lord Roberts says:
"But whatever faults Warren may
have committed the failure must also
be attributed to the disinclination of
the officer in supreme command to as.
sert his authority and see what he
thought best was done, and also to the
unwarrantable and needless assumption
Of responsibility by subordinate off,
cer."
The dispatch concludes: "The graft.
flying feature Of these dispatches is the
admirable behavior Of the troops
throughout the operation

PRESS JOINS In.
London Newspapers Add Their
Structures to Those of Lord
Roberts,
In Speaking Of Recent Unfortun-
ate Occurrences in South
Africa.
The Discredited Generals Will
Undoubtedly Ask to Be
Recalled.

LONDON, April 19.-1:55 p. m.-Lord
Roberts criticisms of General Butler,
General Warren and Colonel Thorny-
croft continue topics of acute interest.
All the afternoon papers comment at
length on the structures of the British
commander-in.chief in South Africa,
taking the same lines as the morning
papers. praising Lord Roberts for his
frankness and speculating. upon what
the publication of the dispatch at the
present moment portends.
Some Of them maintain there is moth.
ing left for General Butler but to re.
sign. The st. James Gazette is partic.
ularly scathing. Referring to General
Buffers report, it says:
Never in the history of armies did it
happen that generals scribbled their
confessions of failure and defeat, of
useless deaths of men and of discredit
to the flag in a manner which suggests
a careful selection from the forced joe.
ularity of Funnyman, the slangy chat.
ter Of the horsey woman and gable of
the smoking room late in the evening.
The Globe declares that ga more pitt
able record Of indecision in plan and
confusion in execution we have seldom
read," and adds that what little reputa-
ton General Butler has left has been
scattered to the winds.
Practically no developments have
been reported SO far in the days South
African cables. A dispatch from War.
renton, dated Tuesday, April II, says:
Grinding the Beers busy making new
trenches, we exploded lyddite shells,
following up these with the Maxims.
The enemy's ambulance was afterwards
observed on the spot"
From Wepener there is nothing later
than Lord Roberts message Of Tuesday,
and presumably neither side has gained
any particular advantage at any point
in the theatre Of war since the last of.
fetal dispatches were received. u
It is persistently stated in military
circles that Lieutenant General Sir
Charles Warren, the commander of the
Fifth division Of the South Africa field
force, has been ordered to return home.

amined as to his physical fitness pre-
vious to entering the calorimeter and
was found to be in splendid shape. He
has never used alcohol in any form
and offers a splendid subject for trial.
A very interesting case in modern
surgery and skill in the grating and
the transplanting Of skin is that at
the Mary Fletcher hospital of Dutlee
Levee. He is a midde-aged man, re-
siding at Burlington, and was seri-
ously injured some months ago by a
premature explosion OF powder. Near
ly one side of his face was torn away
and half a cupful OF pebbles and pow
der were taken out OF the wound.
The lids of one eye were severed, but
strange as ii may seem the eye-ball
was not injured. To fill up this cavi-
ty in his face and render his eye of
use, pieces OF flesh were taken from
the mans arm and grated to his
cheek. The skin on the forehead was
cut and drawn down to replace the
missing lid. Operation after opera
ton was successfully performed and
the injured man bids fair to preserve
his sight and at least the larger por-
tion of his face. He is much en-
couraged.

THE HOME FRUIT GARDEN.
Valuable Suggestions With Regard to
Varieties

Varieties.
Ii is PROFESSIONALLY true that q
well-kept orchard and garden about
| the house adds immensely TO the value
of farm. II makes il worth hun
dreds of dollars more in market, and
ii improves the farm equally as much
from the standpoint OF the family at
home there.
Everybody will admit probably
that there is room for improvement
on most farms in this state in the mat
ter of the home fruit garden. II is to
help along this sort of improvement
that the Vermont experiment station
has issued bulletin giving brief and
simple directions such as will be UNI
derstood by any farmer. This bulle-
tin can be had by applying to the ex-
pertinent station at Burlington.
One matter which we notice that
will be OF special interest is the list OF
fruits recommended by Prof. Waugh
for planting in the home fruit gardens
OF Vermont. We extract this list,
though We have not space TO comment
on il, except to say that 1t ought to be
OF value TO those who do not know
what varieties are best 20 plant.
For the warmer parts OF the state
the following apples are recommend
ed:-Early Harvest, Primate, Porter,
Oldenburg, Lowell, Grayenstein, Fa-
meuse, Mcintosh, King, Spitzenburgh,
Spy, Rhode Island Greening, Baldwin,
Arctic, Golden Russell, Hubbardston,
Seek-no-further, Belleflower, Tolman.
For the colder parts Of the state the
following apples are preferred:-lel-
low Transparent, Red Astrachan, Oh
denburg, Loagtield, Wealthy, Fa-
meuse, Mcintosh, Scott Winter, Pc
waukee, Arctic, Wagner.
Among pears these varieties are fa-
yorably mentioned Vermont Beau
ty, Flemish Beauty, Beurre d'Anjou,
Winter Neilis, Onondaga, Tyson, Law
renee, Sheldon.
The most promising plums are said
to be Burbank, Lombard, Abundance,
Bavay, Chabot, Pond, Golden Drop,
Grand Duke, Wildgoose, Wayland.
These, however, are not recommended
for the colder towns of Vermont.
The best cherries are Morello, Mont
morency, Brusseler Braun, Bessara-
bian, Early Richmond.
Grapes can be grown by planting
Moore Early, Worden, Meyer, Bright
on, Wyoming or Green Mountain.
Various sorts of blackberries,
raspberries, gooseberries, currants and
strawberries are also recommended.
Those who really want information
had better send for the original docu-
ment.
