Turkey will Pay Up.

A dispatch from COnstantinOple says:
The Porte has replied to the American de-
mands, stating that Turkey will cOmpen-
safe American missionaries under the same
conditions as 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
change.
The Porte has not yet replied TO the last
collective note, but the changed tone Of
the Ottoman officials leads to a belief that
. settlement has been reached in conform
ity with the demands Of the representa-
tives. 1t is now fully expected that the
Porte will invite the embassies to discuss
the proposed change.

FrlehteuI Treatment OF American Prisoner:
hN PanaY Eilipinos.

The Manila paper, the American, tells
a terrible tale of burning at the stake and
other tortures inflicted upon three Ameri-
can prisoners in the hands of insurgents
at Panay Island. 1t relates how Pri-
Yates Dugan. Tracy and Hayes of Com
pany +, Twenty infantry, fell out
of the ranks during an expedition into
the interior of Panay and started on a
search for tuba the native wine. They
fell into the hands Of the insurgents.
They were taken to the town of Calinaga,
where they were imprisoned until the oc-
casion of big fiesta" in the village,
when they were led out to the public
square and tied to stakes. The Filipinos
decided not 10 put them TO death at once
Accordingly slow fires were lighted and
their feet were roasted, while natives un-
der the direction of local Filipino
padre" swarmed about them, Jabbins
them with knives and cutting strips OF
flesh from their bodies. Then red-hot
irons were applied, cruelty soaring them.
When the victims had all but lost con-
sciousness they were released from the
stakes and dragged through the streets by
the now frenzied mob. Finally one OF
their tormentors was ordered to stay
them, which he did with his "bolo."
