CONSTANTINOPLE, April 22.-The
Porte has replied to the American de-
mands stating that Turkey will COM
pensate 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 re-
ply to the notification of the Porte
asserting that the United States gov
eminent expects to be previously con-
suited with regard to any changes.
The Porte has not yet replied to the
last collective note, but the changed
one of the Ottoman officials leads to
a belief that a settlement has been
reached in conformity with the de-
mands of the foreign representatives.
Il is now fully expected that the porte
will INVITE the embassies to discuss the
proposed changes.
There is the greatest interest In po-
litical circles regarding the attitude of
the United States in the indemnity
claim, and it is believed the powers
having similar claims will support
American action.

LONDON, April %, 5 a. MT is
quite probable that by this time Gen.
| Sir Henry Rumble has fought a decis-
i've battle with the Beers. He entrench-
! ed himself Saturday to await the arriv-
| al of Gen. Campbell with the sixteenth
brigade. That commander arrived Sat
! urday evening and news may therefore
be expected at any moment.
1t is still impossible to ascertain the
| position of affairs at Blomfontein or to
learn when the long expected advance
northward will begin. The dispatches
conflict regarding the state of the pre-
| p%arations. For instance, the Bloemfon-
TEN correspondent of the Daily Chron-
icle says that the troops have been sup
plid with winter clothing and that the
| Modder river has fallen sufficiently to
| permit cavalry to cross. The Standards
representative says almost the exact
| opposite. Present indications, howev-
| er, point to still further delay.
NILuOuI dIIoSIlAS AQQ IMP Jill
to the stories from Lourenzo Marques
concerning the strength of the Boer
| forces it would almost seem that the
former estimates of 80, 900 were rather
low.
During the last few days there has
been a renewal of Boer activity in all
parts of the theatre of war. The tenacity
of the enemy around Col. Dalgety
proves that considerable forces are
still there. Lord Roberts has ordered
Lord Methuen to retire from Boshof,
probably for the same reason. The
| presence of a Boer force at Frankfort
locks like an intention to endanger or
cut off Methuen, who. may next be
heard of as retiring Upon Kimberley.
The Beers are said to be in half cir
| cles around Bloemfontein to the east
ward, in a crescent formation. There
have been several outpost affairs in
that vicinity.
The Eleventh division, under Gen.
Pole Carew and the court cavalry
brigade are operating toward Sanna's
post. In Natal there is no diminuition
OF Boer activity.
it is reported that Sir Charles War
rem is to be appointed governor to
the Free State. Nothing is known re-
garding Sir Redvers Butler but there
is little doubt regarding his removal,
and rumor has it that Lord Kitchener
will get an important Independent
command.
The Boer peace commissioners are
understood to have been disappointed
by their visit to The Hague but to be
determined to visit Berlin and Paris
before going to Washington.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 22.-Em-
peror Nicholas has issued an imperial
rescript addressed to Grand Duke Ser
gius, Governor General of Moscow, ex-
pressing his qualification at having
passed Holy week in Moscow. The re-
script says in part:
In the cradle of autocracy, where
the Saints repose undisturbed, and
amid the resting places of the crowned
builders and expanders of the Russian
empire, our prayers rise with increased
strength to the Lord of Lords, IN COM
mon with the faithful members of our

pies, and here calm joy fills the soul
in prayer"

Duke Sergius and bestows upon his a

in the Archer case that leads to such
a conclusion it is disapproved. A
minimum premium may be fixed under
the law, but it must be a lump sum,
certain and definite, which may be
paid in advance or in periodical in
stalments. Under the pretense of fix
ing such premium the legal rate of
interest may not be increased indef-
inately. To allow such to be the law
would permit the association to charge
Mrs. Gray both premium and interest
until her payments of dues cancelled
her indebtedness, when she would
have paid into the association for the
use of $500 three times the amount, or
81, 400, while denied the right to par
ticipate in the profits otherwise dissi-
pated.

A BLOODY WEEK.

Comparatively Trihing - Ameri-
cans Ambushed.

MANILA, April %, 1890 a. m.-Last
week has been one of the bloodiest of
the war since the first days fighting
around Manila. Authentic reports,
mostly official, show a total of 37S Fill
ipinos killed, twelve officers and 244
men captured, and many more wound
ed. The number wounded is hardly
guessable, considering that the Filipin-
os entirely lack hospital facilities, and
a great majority of the wounded will
die. Probably the weeks work finished
1000 insurgents. The Americans to-
tai loss was nine killed and sixteen
wounded. Tive sergeants and one pri-
vate were killed in ambush while es-
corting provision trains.
MANILA, April %, 10:30 a. m.-The
insurgents have been aggressive in al
most every province of Luzon. Gen.
Pho del Pillars band, numbering 800,
which was out of sight for three
months, the leader being reported kill
ed, has r%eappeared in its old field about
San Miguel. Pillar is supposed to be
again in command. He gave the
American garrison at San Miguel, con-
sisting of three companies Of the
Thirty-ffth infantry, with a gatling, a
three hours fight, during a night at
tack. The loss of the insurgents in
this engagement is not included in the
foregoing total, as they removed their
dead and wounded, but presumably it
was considerable.

The Indications are That the Rebels

KINGSTON, Jamaica, April 22.-Ad-
vices from Colombia to-day say that
Bocas del Toro, Panama, is in posses
sion of the rebels. Last Friday the
government chartered a British steam
er at Colon to take the troops to Bocas
del Toro, where an important battle
is expected.
With Bocas del Toro in the hands
of the rebels Colon is practically
threatened.
There is considerable excitement at
Carthagena ove a report that Baran-
quilla has fallen into the hands of the
insurgents. This rumor is not entire
ly credited, but there are good grounds
for believing that the town will soon
be taken.

PITTSBURG, Pa, April 22.-George
T. Oliver has formally declined the
nomination of Congressman-at-large.
His reasons as set forth in a letter to
George P. Murray, chairman OF the
Allegheny county delegation, are per-
sonal and private, but it is understood
that he believes that his acceptance
of the honor would impose additional
responsibilities on those with whom
he is commercially affiliated and that
his declination is based upon this fact.
MI. divers withdrawal from the field
raises a question as to who will be the
representative as Congressman-at-large
from Western Pennsylvania. Senator
M. S. Quay, in an interview published
to-day, states that he favors the re-
nomination of S. A. Davenport, OF
Erie, and Galusha A. Grow. 1t is safe
to assume that the Senator knew of
Mr., divers decision before he gave out
the interview.
The other active candidates are DR..
T. l.. Flood, of Meadyille, E. e. Rob-

endorsed by the Erie and Crawford
delegations and 1t Is said he has the
support of several contiguous counties.

implicated in a daring burglary in
Lemberg, Galacia. Some time ago
they, in company with two others,
broke into a furniture store in Lem
berg and blew open the safe. They
got about 10000 forms. In escaping
the burglars almost killed the proprie-
tor of the store. Two of the men have
been arrested on the other side. The
special board of inquiry investigated
the matter, and upon the confession of
the men it was decided to deport them.

BERLIN, April 22.-The semi-ofi-

spired article. in which it is stated
that the sentiment regarding the Beers
still remains friendly throughout Ger
many. but that the government sees
no reason why the Boer peace delega-
ton should come to Berlin. since no
good could be gained from such a
visit, Germany being unable to rem
der the slightest service, either in
friendly offices to both sides or In in
termediation, so long as Great Britain
remains determined to reject both.
