CONSTANTINOPLE, April 22.-The
Porte has replied to the American de-
mands, stating that Turkey will compen-
safe American missionaries under the same
conditions in the case of other foreign
subjects.
The United States legation Joined the
other embassies in protesting against the
increase of import duties. the reply to the
notification of the Porte asserting that the
United States government expects to be
previously consulted with regard to any
changes.
The Porte has not yet replied to the last
collective note. but the changed tone OF
the Ottoman officials leads to belief that
settlement has been reached in conform
ity with the demands of the foreign repre-
sentatives. 1t is now fully expected the
Porte will invite the embassies to discuss
the proposed changes.
There is the greatest interest in political
circles regarding the attitude of the United
States in the indemnity claim, and it is
believed that the powers having similar
claims will support American action.

The Basutos are posted on the border

INDICTMENT is HELD UP
NO DOUBT THAT BILL WAS FOUND
AGAINST TAYLOR.
No Action VIII He Taken AT the Pres
ent Time-FOrmer Governor Brad
ley Discusses the Situation.

FRANKFORT, KY, April 22.-While the
Franklin county grand jury has not ad-
journed it is understood that the investi-
CATION of the Goebel assassination has been
completed. The Indictment against Repub-
lican Governor Taylor, charging him with
being an accessory to the murder will be
held up till after the argument of the gov
ernorship contest case. which is docketed
for hearing before the Supreme Court at
Washington, April 80, and it is said by per-
sons in the councils Of the prosecution that
no such warrant will be issued or other
steps taken in the case till after that time.
The rumor that Governor Beckham had
been applied to for a requisition is without
foundation.
Col. David G.. Colson, who has been con-
fined in the Franklin county Jail, which is
guarded by the Beckham State troops. and
who was acquitted on his trail in the Cir
cult Court yesterday, addressed the soldiers
this morning, in response to an invitation
from them. He left for his home in Mid
dlesboro tonight. His room was crowded
all day by friends who called to congra-
tulate him on his acquittal.

BRADLEY SPEAKS HIS MIND.


FRANKFORT, KY, April 22-Former
Governor w. o. Bradley, leading counsel
for Republican Governor Taylor, gave to
the Associated Press the following author
ized interview tonight:
'I have had no communication with Gov
ernor Taylor since he went to Washington
The press, notice, states that he is there
preparing his case for the Supreme Court.
/ am satisfied that this is not true. Gov
ernor Taylor went to Washington on pure
ly personal business. not connected in any
way with the trial Of his case.
Nor do I believe the report to be true
vent the honoring OF requisition for his
return TO this State. AS to whether a
requisition could be lawfully issued by Mr..
Beckham, or would be recognized, IL is un-
necessary for me to express opinion. as
these are questions that must be deter
mined by the authority on whom such a
requisition may be made. Governor Tay-
lor has publicly declared that he was not
and would never be fugitive from justice.
and that if indicted he would respect the
law and meet his aecusers face to face.
Therefore, there remains but one course
open to him, and that is to return as soon
as he can, walk boldly and bravely into
court and meet the indictment like man.
Any other course would be rank injustice,
not only TO himself, but to those OF his
a crime. / do not know whether an indict-
ment has been found against Governor
Taylor, but IL Ii has have no doubt that
he Will promptly surrencer himself into
the hands OF the law, and believe that any
intimation to the contrary does him an in

Oners Have Reached Manila.

MANILA, April %, 1890 a. m.-Last week
has been one of the bloodiest of the war
since the first days fighting around Ma
Mia. Authentic reports. mostly official,
show a total of. 37S F'ilipinos killed, twelve
more wounded. The number of wounded is
hardly guessable Considering that the Fill
pinos entirely lack hospital facilities, a
great majority of the wounded will die
Probably the weeks work finished one
thousand insurgents. The Americans loss
was nine Rilled and sixteen wounded. Two
sergeants and one private were killed in
ambushes, while escorting provision trains.
The insurgents have been aggressive in
almost every province of Luzon. General
Pho del Pillars band, numbering three hun
dred, which was out of sight for three
months, the leader being reported killed,
has reappeared in it's old field about San
Miguel. Pillar is supposed to be again in
command. He gave the American garrison
at San Miguel. consisting of three COM
panies of the Thirty-ffth Infantry. with
Gatling, three hours fight, during a
night attack. The loss of the insurgents in
this engagement is not included in the fore
going total, as they removed their dead
and wounded, but, presumably. 1t was con-
siderable.
Twenty Filipinos, In the province of Ba-
tangas, attacked Lieutenant Wonde. who.
with eight men, was scouting near San
Jose. The lieutenant and five men were
wounded and one private was killed.
Sergeant Ledoius, of the Thirty-fifth In
fantry. was badly wounded in an ambush
near Baliuag. Lieutenant Balch, Of the
Thirty-seventh Infantry, with seventy men,
had a five hours fight with four hundred
insurgents in the Nueva Caceras district.
Twenty of the insurgents were killed
Colonel Smith, OF the Seventeenth In
fantry, who captured General Montenegro
and brought him to Manila, is in the isola-
ton hospital suffering from smallpox, pre-
sumably caught from the Filipinos. Col.
Smiths command captured $50 officers and
men with Montenegro. The officers were
brought to Manila. Montenegro, who was
formerly one of the most dapper officials in
the Filipino army, looks worn and hag-
gard He says he had led a terrible life for
months and he has offered to return to the
north with Colonel Smith to endeavor to
persuade his former comrades of the USE
lessness of opposing the Americans.
One hundred escaped Spanish prisoners
from the province of Tayabas, South Lu-
zon, have arrived at Manila. The insurg-
ents have four hundred more Spaniards in
that district.

publics had 10000 men in the field, includ-
ing the colonial rebels. According TO the

OF whom $1,000 are in the Free State, TO-
COO are in the Biggarsberg district and 15,-

A dispatch to the Times from TANNERS
burg, dated Saturday. says: 1.-THE Beers are

lance corps beside the Irish-American are
taking up arms in behalf of the Beers. The
latter are unable to obtain smokeless pow

OPINION OF GEN. WALLACE.



WASHINGTON. April 22.-General Lew
Wallace, who was minister to Constanti-
nople during the Garfield administration. is
in the city. Discussing the present con-
troversy respecting indemnity for the de-
struction of missionary buildings. General
Wallace tonight said to Post reporter:
"I think am better acquainted with the
Sultan of Turkey than possibly any other
American, and know that he is an hon.
est man and never knew him to break a
promise. Abdul Hamid is no more to be
blamed for the gross atrocities committed
and the property destroyed by the Kourds
than William Mckinley would be IL the
Apache Indians should go upon the war
path and slay the white settlers, as they
have done in times past. The acts were
perpetrated upon the Armenians, but no
Americans suffered the loss Of hair. The
Christians in Turkey are there under the
patronage Of the Sultan and without his
protection they could not remain. There are
some three millions of Greeks and perhaps
four millions of Armenians who are Chris
tians. and the Sultan regards them as his
subjects. Without them the Turkish gov
ernment would fall. for they are the trades
people. The Turk is a warrior. Not a
Christian church is burned or a mission
destroyed but the Sultan is the first man
to subscribe to rebuilding. I know this to
be Abdul Hamid is distinguished
scholar and a diplomat. If it were not so
the Ottoman empire would have been wiped
out long ago, for the hand of every ruler
in Europe is against him. He prevents
them from acting together and thus pre-
serves his throne. He was educated I'm
Paris. and although a Mussuiman. he has
Christian ideas. All that the Kourds, who
are the perpetrators of these crimes
against the Christians. have in common
with the Sultan and the Turks is that they,
too, are followers of Mohammed. They are
numerous on the eastern border of the en-
pire, and have never been fully conquered
by the government"
Mr.. Oscar s. Straus, the United States
minister to Turkey. who is now on leave
of absence, arrived in the city tonight
from New York.

GREAT NEED rs HORSES.



LONDON, April 2s.-The Standard pub
fishes long dispatch from Bloemfontein,
dated Friday. explaining the numerous
difficulties which tend to delay the ad-
vance to Pretoria The correspondent says:
Enormous transport difficulties are en-
hanced by the rainy weather and by the
necessity of providing for the needs of the
army for weeks, perhaps months, in case
of an interruption of the long line of COM
n1unications, together with the unsettled
state of the country In our rear and the
guerrilla tactics of the enemy. 1t is OBJ
vious that until our fianks are cleared and
no longer menaced no forward movement
is possible without incurring the gravest
risks.
The most pressing need is further
supply OF horses. General Hamilton has
availed himself of the services of the Aus
tralfan bushmen to scour the Free State
In all directions, buying horses from farm
ers who have surrendered and driving in
animals found upon unoccupied farms.
Horse raiding is dangerous work, but the
bushmen are more than a match for the
Beers"

ROME, April .22.-The Italian newspapers
are much concerned regarding the renewal
of commercial treaties with Germany and
Austria. The Pungolo Parliamente asserts,
on the authority of a former member of the
Cabinet, probably Signor Branca, that a
clause was added in 1891 to the dreibund
treaty whereby the three powers stipulate
to grant one another favored nation treat
ment and the greatest possible facilities In
trade. The Tribuna. commenting upon this
revelation, says that in spite of IL the pros
poets for the future are not reassuring,
in view of the ultra-protectionist tenden-
cies of the Austrian and German Agrarians.

hood of wakkerstroom.

LONDON. April q. 5 a. ni.-It is quite
probable that by this time General Sir
Henry Rumble has fought decisive battle
Saturday, to await the arrival of General
Campbell with the Sixteenth Brigade That
commander arrived Saturday evening. and
news therefore may be expected at any
moment.
It Is still impossible to ascertain the posi-
ton Of affairs at Bloemfontein, or to learn
when the long expected advance northward
will begin. The dispatches conflict regard
ing the state of the preparations. For in
stfnce, the Bloemfontein correspondent OF
the Daily Chronicle says that the troops
have been supplied with winter clothing
and that the Modder river has fallen suffi-
cienfly to permit cavalry TO cross. The
Standards representatives says almost ex-
actIy opposite. Present Indications. how
ever, point TO still further delay.
without attaching undue importance to
the stories from Lourenzo Marques con-
cerning the strength of the Boer forces,
n would almost seem that the former esti-
meses Of $1,000 were rather low.
During the last few days there has been
q renewal OF Boer activity in all parts of
the theater of war. The tenacity of the
enemy around Colonel Dalgety proves that
considerable forces are still there. Lord
Roberts has ordered Lord Methuen to re-
tire from Boshof, probably for the same
reason. The presence of a Boer force at
Frankfort looks like an intention to en-
deavor to cut of Methuen, who may next
b. heard Of as retiring upon Kimberley.
The Beers are said to have half encircled
Bloemfontein to the eastward. in a cres-
cent formation. There have been several
outpost affairs In that vicinity.
The Eleventh Division, under General
Pole-Carew. and the Fourth cavalry bri-
gade, are operating toward Sanna's post.
In Natal there is NJ diminution Of Boer
activity.
II is reported that Sir Charles Warren
is to be appointed governor of the Free
State.
Nothing Is known regarding Sir Redvers
Butler, but there is little doubt regarding
his removal. ard rumor has it that Lord
Kitchener will get an important independ-
ent command.
The Boer peace commissioners are un.
derstood TO have been disappointed by
their visit to The Hague. but to be deter
mined TO visit Berlin and Paris, before
going to Washington.
