WASHINGTON, April 30.-The United
States government has not received the
slightest intimation from any European
nation Of disposition on its part to in
terfere in any manner in sthe present
dispute between the United States and
Turkey over the American indemnity
claims. It may also be said on the best
authority that none of the representa-

state department. to deliver itself of any
explanation Of it's intention affecting
Turkey, nor does our government antic-
ipate any. interference by third parties
in this matter so long as our claims are
confined to their present perfectly legit-
innate basis. AL that can be stated by
authority respecting Mr.. Griscom s
course at Constantinople is contained in
the general declaration that he is pur-
suing instructions to insist to the Turk
ish government upon redemption of
it's promise to pay the American in
demnity claims. Naturally the officials
decline to intimate what steps will be
resorted to in case Mr.. Griscom's re-
quest is denied. They prefer to believe
that the demand will meet with sue.

tination on the part of Turkey, some
thing harder to meet than an unqualif-
ed refusal to pay. 1t is understood tina
Mr.. Griscom is shaping his representa-
tions to the porte with special reference
to the avoidance of this pitfall. s

TEXAS CLOUDBURsT.

At Least Eight People Known to Have
Been Drowned.
WACO, Tex, April 30.-A cloudburst,
accompanied by high wind, descended
upon this city at noon, and the result is
that eight people are known to have
perished in the city limits and property
valued at several thousand dollars has
been destroyed or injured. The killed
are: Mrs. Nancy Candle, Miss Clara
Caudle, Rosa Chapman, Emma Decker,
Thomas Capps, Frank Walker, and two
asgroes, names unknown.
The downpour Of rain commenced
about noon and was incessant until
dark. 1t was in the shape of water
spout, and the rise in the creeks and
branches was SO rapid that it did not
give the inhabitants time to flee.
The number positively known to have
been drowned within the city limits is
eight, and it is almost certain several
more lives have been lost. Searching
parties are out looking for the drowned
and helping to move those who are in
danger or distress.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala April 3O.-By the
collapse Of the framework of the main
building of the Dimmick Pipe and
Foundry company in the course of erec-
ton, two men are dead and eleven are
injured, at least two of whom viii die.
The building was 800 feet long and
100 feet wide. While an immense beam
was being placed in position on the
roof, 80 feet above the ground, it fell,
and striking the next beam, knocked it
down. The second beam knocked down
the third and SO on, until &c beams had
fallen, causing general collapse of the
structure. About 80 men were at work
on the building at the time and of this
number, IS were on the superstructure

Administration Receives Confirmation OF
Report That Carthagena Is Captured.
WASHINGTON, April 30.-The state
department. has received confirmation
Of the press report that Carthagena has
fallen into the hands of the insurgents.
The information comes from an indi-
rect but reliable source. The taking of
the town is regarded as matter of the
greatest Importance, for Carthagena is
the principal seaport Of Colombia and
collects most Of the customs revenues of
the country. Consequently it's capture
will greatly strengthen the revolution
lists It is probable that the navy de-
partment will dispatch one of the
smaller gunboats now cruising in the
West Indies to the seat of trouble in
order to insure American interests
against loss.

House Committee Continues the Occur
d'A1ene Investigation.
@ WASHINGTON, April S0.-The exam
ination of General Merriam was contin-
ued at the Occur d'Alene investigation
before the military committee of the
house. He explained in detail his in
structions. In a telegram from Secre-
tary Alger, May 81, he had referred to
General Merriam IS originalinstructions,
General Merriam testified that he had
never received any ''.original instruc-
tions" beyond the direction to proceed
to Idaho to put down the insurrection.
Regarding the incident Of the pump
men at the Tiger and Poorman mine, he
said Governor Steunenberg had asked
what could be done to save the mine in
case the men declined to take out per-
mits. He had replied that he did not
feel competent to advise. He knew
that to have allowed the mine to be
filed up with water would have de-
stroyed it as effectively as to have blown
it up with dynamite. -..g ;.s
Attorney Robertson conducted the
cross-examination Of General Merriam.
In reply to series of questions Gen
eral Merriam testified that martial law
was declared by the governor of Idaho,
upon whose request the United States
troops were furnished, and that the
section Of the Revised Statutes requir-
ing the president to proclaim a state of
izsurrection did not apply. Some of the
federal troops, he testified, were in.
Idaho, and some on th9ir way there be-
fore q martial law was declared, May 3.
!! General Merriam, in response to a
question as to whether he now consid-
cred the people Of Shoshone county
capable of self-government, said he was
not in possession of sufficient informa-
tion to give an opinion.

A NEW GOVERNOR.

Charles III. Allen Arrives at Porto Rico on
Board steamship Dolphin.
SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, April 80. The
United States steamship Dolphin, bear
ing Charles Herbert Allen, the newly
appointed civil governor Of Porto Rico,
dropped anchor off. San Juan at 10
o'clock, as did also the United States
armored cruiser New York, the battle
ship Texas and the United States gun
boat Machias. The New York re-
manned outside the harbor, the others
entering. 4
General Davis, military governor,
visited Mr.. Allen on board the Dolphin
at 11:3O. A detachment Of rs insular
police and four companies of the Porto
Rico regiment with a band were down
upon the wharf. sS.s
The Dolphin's launch, carrying Mr..
Allen and his family, with General
Davis aud Lieutenant Parker, the lat
ter's aide, left the Dolphin promptly at
noon, the Texas and Dolphin firing a
salute of II guns Meanwhile the band
played the Porto Rican national air and
the boats in the harbor kept up con-
tinuous whistling until the launch
reached the landing. Mr.. Allen ran
quickly up the stairs and the families of
General Davis and the new civil gov
ernor were introduced to each other. A
crowd of 5000 looked on, but was kept
at a distance. The police and troops
Marched Past at Port Arms x
Mr.. Allen doffing his hat. He then en-
tered the carriage that was in waiting
and then drove to the executive man
sion preceded by the troops, and fol
lowed by squads of police. He con-
stantly raised his hat to the throng that
lined the sidewalk. @-
Mr.. Allen landed in an ordinary cos.
tune, straw hat, blue coat and duck
trousers, and a wave of exclamation
followed the carriage. ."That can't be
Mr.. Allen," said one. 'sThat's not the
new governor said another, s..that man
in the straw hat, surely not.'' :.
The simplicity Of the costume and Of
the general details Of the reception took
the Porto Ricans by surprise and they
could scarcely realize that they looked
upon the new governor. Mr.. Allen is
the first governor of Porto Rico to ar
rive in anything less conspicuous than g
gorgeous uniform covered with gold
lace and similar trappings.
Few representative citizens were
present at the landing, the throng be.
ing composed largely of middle class
people. Nor was there any attempt tc
decorate the buildings or nothing to
speak Of, and generally the reception
was not notably enthusiastic.

A RIGOROUS CENSORSHIP.

War Correspondents Make Different
i Guesses as to Roberts Movements.
NEW YORK, April 3O.-A dispatch to
The Tribune from London says: The
rigorous censorship has excluded press
news from the Free State for "a hours.
The war correspondents owing to the
extensive deployment Of five divisions
and cavalry brigades, have, with one or
two exceptions, returned to headquar-
ters at Bio emfontein, and their conjec-
lures respecting the direction Of the
lines of the Boer retreat and British
operations have not been in accord. 1 /
General Roberts, in midnight dis
patch reported a brief summary Of the
situation as he understood it at 8 o'clock
Friday afternoon, but left several points
in doubt General Hamilton, with the
mounted infantry and one brig
,ade a@of the. Ninth division
had reached Thaba N'Chu where
General French Joined him with his
cavalry brigades Rundle's division be-
ing a few miles south. The Beers were
still holding the eastern outlet OF, the
town, and French and Hamilton were
preparing to turn them out: Both
Hamilton and French had made fine
forced marches, but it was not clear
whether the main body of the Beers
had retired to Thaba N Chu from De-
wetsdorp,; or had gone across the coun-
try towards Constantia, to effect juno
tion with Olvier's forces retreating
from 'Wepener. The former theory was
more probable, but even in that case it
was uncertain whether the Beers had
remained in force or had left a rear
guard in the town. rSss
General Roberts operations are now
conducted on SO large scale that the
public here is dazed by them and re-
qnires some definite result, like another
Paardeberg, in order to be convinced
that he is making progress. The sex-
pertsIregard his manoeuvers as master
~. 1t is now plain that after the two
reverses Of Sannas Post and Redders-
burg, he decided upon a conrse Of in
action. in order to draw as large body
jof Beers as possible into the southeast
ern district Of the Free State, knowing
that when he was ready, he could de-
ploy five corps against them and hoping
that he could cut off the retreat Of the
several commanders. His manoeuvers
were almost too successful, since the
Beers retreated from Wepener and De
wet's Dorp before French could inter
cept them. A portion Of the Boer force
has been found at Thaba N 'Chn, and in
the course Of "a hours, it viii be known
whether there is any chance Of caps
turing it. ssi3

ONLY YIELDS TO FORCE.
Porte Will Probably Not Pay. Without a
-....E Demonstration.

81
-+..F Demonstration.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, Friday, April 27.-
The United States legation has not yet
received the porte's answer to the note
handed to Tewfik Pasha, the Turkish
foreign minister, by the American
charge d'affaires, regarding the indem-
nifty claims, Ind the impression is gain
ing 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 general opin-
ion is that without display of force,
the porte certainly will not pay the
claims, because it wishes to show the
Moslem world that it only yields to
force.
II 1t is not considered here that simple
rupture of diplomatic relations will
render the porte easier to deal with; but
rupture of formal relations is not
thought necessary, as the sending of a
warship to a Mediterranean port would
suffice to obtain settlement Of the mat
ter in less than "a hours.
The same proposition for settlement
of the indemnify question by an order
for warship in the price of which the
indemnity should be included was for
merly made to France and Italy, but M.
Constans and Signor Panza rejected the
proposal.
The newspaper criticisms and COM
ments upon the attitude of Turkey in
this affair are causing great irritation at
the Ystdiz Kiosk. -.
