TURKEY UNWILLING.
A Warship Will Have to b Sent to Collect
the Claim.

Constantinople, April 2S.-The United
States legation has not yet received the
portes answer to note handed the
Turkish foreign minister by the Amer
lean charge d'affaires regarding the in
demnity claims; and the impression is
gaining ground that the reply will be in
the negative, or even that no reply will
be made. The general opinion is that
without the display of force the porte
certainly will not pay the claims, be-
cause it wishes to show the Moslem
world that it only yields to force. 1t is
not considered that simple rupture of
diplomatic relations will render the
porte easier to deal with; but the rup-
ture of formal relations Is not thought
necessary, as the sending Of a war-ship
to Mediterranean port would suffice to
obtain a settlement of the matter in less
than twenty-four hours.

MERRIAM ON THE STAND.
He Testified That He Never Received ANY
Original Instructions"

Washington, April 2S.-The examina-
ton of General Merriam was continued
in the Occur d'Alene investigation by
the military committee of the house to-
day He explained in detail his instruc-
tions. In telegram of May 81 Secre-
tary Alger referred to Merriam's s ,$orig-
inal Instructions" Merriam testified
that he never received any Original in
structions'' beyond the direction to pro-
ceed to Idaho and put down the insur-
rection. He had applied to the depart
ment twice for Original instructions" "
he came to the conclusion that Secre-
tary Alger was in error. In relating the
incident of the pump men at the Tiger
and Poorman mines, he said that Gov
ernor Steunenberg asked him what
could be done to save the mines in case
the men declined to take out permits.
He replied that he did not feel compe-
tent to advise. He knew that to have
allowed the mine to be filled with wa
ter would have destroyed it as effect
lively as to have blown it up with dyna-
mite. Attorney Robertson conducted
the cross-examination Of Merriam.
'Do you think that under the condi-
tions that obtained at Occur d'Alene IT
was proper and reasonable to hold pris-
oners four to six months without ex-
amination?"
II am not prepared to answer no."
replied General Merriam. II do not
know all the attending circumstances
and conditions
"Did you take any means to deter
mine the innocence Of the prisoners for
your own information or that Of the
president of the United States?"
A. No, further than to urge prelim-
mary examinations by the civil author
tiles.
@. You convened no military court to
try those prisoners?
A. did not. The state courts were
open.
@. You took no pains to determine
whether information had been lodged
against the men arrested?
A. did not.
@. You then lent the soldiers to dep
uties who made the arrests?
A. I did not. I sent the soldiers to
protect the deputies and to receive and
to safeguard prisoners.

that there are only small parties OF
Boers in Tintwa pass, but hundreds are
guarding Van Reenans and Olivershoek
passes. Commandments De Beer and
Vannieskirk are in charge Their forces
nave been so disposed that the whole
body can be massed at any pass the
British may attempt to force. A dis
patch from Dewetsdorp says that the
residents of that place claim that the
strength of the Boer force which re-
Gently evacuated the place was 5000
men, with six guns, under German Off
GERS.
DISSATISFIED WITH ROBERTS.
London, April 2S.-There is much dis
satisfaction expressed here by the lead
ing newspapers and the public at the
failure of Lord Roberts to cut off the
Botha the Beers appear to have found
brilliant successor to General Joubert.
for 1T is the result Of his insight and
quick decision that thwarted Lord Rob-
erts' plans of trapping the Beers at
Dewetsdorp and Wepener. The Beers
have now gotten away safely to the
northward, practically without losses,
but with the advantage of seven Brit
ish guns and with hundreds of British
whom they captured. Meanwhile the
advance on Pretoria has not begun. The
whole British force must again be con-
centrated at Bloemfontein before the
main advance can begin. AS similar
raids on the British communications are
to be repeated, the march on Pretoria
seems still afar off. The Beers gained
more by this last campaign than they
would have by two or three brilliant
victories.
RAPID MOVEMENTS.
London, April 2S.-A dispatch from
Lord Roberts states that General
French has reached Thaba N'Chu with
his cavalry. He met General Hamilton's
and General Smith-Dorrien's brigades
at that place. The enemy is still hold
ing the eastern outlet to the town, from
where General French and General
Hamilton were proceeding to turn them
out. General Rundle's division is eight
miles south of Thaba N'Chu. Lieuten-
ants Hill and Barry were wounded. A
patrol from Bethulie came across a /
body of the enemy on Smithfield road
on April 25. Private King, of the Prince |
Alfred guards, was killed, and two of |
the Royal Scots service corps were ta-
ken prisoners. The yeomanry cavalry,
under General Brabant, after reconnoi- |
tering as far as Wepener, returned to /
Dewetsdorp.

A DEMOCRATIC SPLIT.
New York Democrats May Send Two Dele
cations to the National ()onvantion.

New York, April 2S.-The state COM
mittee of the Chicago Platform Democ-
racy, at a meeting last night, ratified
the action of it's convention committee,
changing the time and place of it's state
convention from May q at Albany to
May 10 in this city. In an address issued
under the caption "Of Interest to the
Democrats of New York State,' the
committee says it is the intention of
the coming convention to select dele
gates to the national convention be-
cause the regular organization is con-
trolled by men who did not support
Bryan in 1896, and are in reality an
tagonistic to Democratic principles.

EX-GOVERNOR PRINCE SPEAKS.
Ae Puts In Good Word for the St. Louis
Exposition.

| Washington, April 2S.-Ex-Gov. l..
| Bradford Prince addressed the special
| committee on the centennial of the
Louisiana purchase, before which ap-
peared representatives of the western
| and southwestern states to urge an in
ternational exposition at St. Louis in
connection with the commemorative
celebration in 1903 of the Louisiana pur-
chase. Ex-Governor Prince strongly
emphasized the national character of
the enterprise. He said he came from a
locality not included in the Louisiana
purchase, and yet all that section en-
bracing the Spanish acquisitions Of the
southwest, as well as Texas, Oregon,
washington and the entire sweep of
country west of the Mississippi, came
into the United States as result of the
impetus given by the Louisiana pur-
chase. This event, therefore, concerned
the whole country, and it's commemora-
tion should be great national event.
Attorney General Campbell of Colora-
do expressed that the sentiment of that

4 CITY OF The DEAD.
A Scientist Claims to Have Made An In
teresting Discovery.

| Leonard E. Glider, Of Washington, D
c., connected with the Smithsonian in.
stitute, claims to have discovered new
cliff dwellers' village. He said in an in.
terview at Denver that his discovery
goes to prove that these people did not
| always select cliffs as their abiding
| places. ''The enchanted mesa in part
dispelled that belief, and I will COM
plete the shattering Of the idol"
NO, sir, l must refuse to give you the
exact site of this discovery of mine," re-
piled Mr.. Glider in answer to query to
that effect. "It will all come out in due
| time. After having made the discovery
at some cost as regards wear and tear"
and Mr.. Glider gazed ruefully at a pair
of scratched and bruised hands, II pro-
pose to secure what little transient glo-
ry may accrue therefrom. I am going
back to Washington tonight, and when
l return 1t will be with an exploring
party, prepared to accumulate data and
take photographs. Until then, silence Is
golden.
"I'll tell you about the discovery"
finally remarked the explorer. "An old
hunter that I met down in Texas told
me about the place; said that in GER
tain part of New Mexico there was a
cliff dWellers' settlement with a mys-
terry connected with it, Never had been
examined, but rumor had it that there
was phantom city thereabouts. I set
out from Taos and traveled-well, part
ly south, and came on the cliff For one
whole week my guide and myself es-
sayed to climb the cliff, and finally sue
ceeded.
1T so happened that the very first
hole in the wall that we went into led
us into curious winding cavern, which
gradually descended until all at once
we found ourselves in the open air in a
little inclosed valley in which was built
what was once perfect little city. Reg
ular streets, paved with curious hard
ened adobe, and small but neat houses
regularly laid out. Inside there were
skeletons innumerable and vast col
lection of exceptionally fine Indian pot
terry. 1t was a city Of the dead. One by
one, apparently, the inhabitants had
died from disease and left their minia-
ture city practically intact"
