TURKEY To PAY.

New York. April ia special to the
Times from Washington says: State de-
partment officials will not talk for publi-
cation about the dispute between the
United States and Turkey over the fall
ure of the later country to pay the in
demnity of the destruction of American
missionary property during the riots of
1896. except to deny that there had been
any suspension of diplomatic relations.
While Minister Strauss is in this country
for an apparently indefinite stay we have
a charge d'affaires in Turkey and d;nlo-
matte relations still continue.
1t is evident, however. that in the belief
of the administration the time is APP
preaching when Turkey must receive
the usual sharp hint which is always ne
| cessary to make that country pay debt.
There is nothing unusual about the long
delany-sixteen months-snce the Port
| last promised to pay the $4,000 indemn-
lity. 1t is Turkeys inVariable way Of at
| tending to such matters and has not sur
prised anybody.
Then this manana policy has been
stretched to the utmost there usually
comes a time when final hint is neces-
sary. European nations cannot always
give utterances to that final hint. The
| United States can do SO and the only
IQuetsiOn is how soon the time will come.
There is another matter in Issue with
ITurkey-the payment of an indemnity
for the death of Frank Lenz. the wheel
man. The Turkish policy is the same in
both cases and is the time hOnOred policy
| of that government.
| One reason for the belief that the time
is approaching when the final jog will be
given to Turkeys memory is thai the
state department claims that nothing is
being done by this government to secure
the payment of the indemnity. It is
known that the government has tor a
long time been trying to secure the pay
ment and there is APPARENTLY no reason
for dropping all efforts at his time. This
leads to the belief that the state depart
ment is preparing to give a strong hint
and does not care to talk about it in ad-
Ivance.

BRITISH ARMY TO MOVE
ON TOWARD PRETORIA

river There is no confirmation of this
story from British sources and on the
contrary, the attack on Colonel Dalgety's 8
force near Wepener has slackened, and
there are persistent rumors that General
Brabant has relieved the garrison after
defeating the Beers. General Brabant is
on the way to Wepener with strong
mounted force and reinforcements from
Natal are behind him. General Cherm-
side with full division, is also moving
east from Reddersburg and the Beers
may be caught in a corner somewhere in
the southwestern section Of the Free
State.
The general situation at Bloemfontein
is unchanged. Military experts here do
not expect an advance northward for a
week or ten days, since Lord Roberts is
waiting for large shipments of horses.
which have barely arrived at Capetown.
They are also convinced that General
Butler will remain on the defensive and
not attack Biggarsberg until the enemy's S
force has been drawn off by Lord Rob-
erts' invasion of the Transvaal. It is con-
sidered probable that Generals Hunter
and Brabant will work their way up to
Wepener and Ladybrand, and in this way
protect Lord Roberts line of communica-
ton.

ditures of hundreds of millions and what
is far worse than all, the trampling un-
der foot of it's cherished ideals. I do not
expect to accomplish anything for liberty
in the Philippine islands but through the
republi ean party.
Upon it the fate of those islands for
years to come, is to depend. l cannot
look with any favor upon Bryan as an
alternative. 1 believe not only that per-
severance in the present policy will be
the abandonment OF the principles upon
which our government is founded, that
it will change our republic into an en-
pire, that our methods of legislation. of
diplomacy, of administration must here
after be those which belong to empires
and not those which belong to republics;
but l believe that persistence in this at
tempt will result in the death and the
overthrow of the republican party"
Touching upon the constitutionality of
the question at issue, Mr.. Hoar said
1 Il hoid thatSin this acquisition of ter
ritory holding and governing, can be the
only means ! for constitutional end.
And I maintain that you can no more
hold and govern territory than you can
hold and manage cannon or fleets for any
other than constitutional end"
Hoar traversed the constitutional in
ternatirnal field of the Philippine contro-
versy, covering much of the same ground
that he and others have covered hereto
fore in the pending discussion.
