This seems to be the case in a
nutshell.
There have been conflicting re-
ports received in our cable dispatches
as to the alleged disposition Of Rus
sia to interfere ; but it is difficult to
see what reason that Government
could have for such a course, and
it is positively denied from Washing
ton that there is any foundation for
such report. But whether there
is or not, the United States will not
draw back or waver in its resolution
to see that justice is done to its ci-
tizens.

Turkey And The
United States

Matters are evidently approaching
a crisis ia refesence to the "affair"
betaVeen Turkey and the UNITED
States. Amid all the confusion
caused by the various cabled reports
as to the situation, two important
facts appear to stand out clearly =
First, that the United States has
called upon the Government OF
Turkey to redeem its solemn promi-
ses, and pay a0ithout delay the
amount it agreed to pay in settle
ment eff the claims of the mission
aries; and second, that Turkey has
not only so far failed to do this, but
shows no inclination whatever to
make the payment.
The claims of the missionaries
amounted to some 100000, but the
Sultan repeatedly promised to the
United States Minister, that he would
pay at once $1On, 600 in settlement
of the claims, of the missionaries, il
they wou'd cept this amount as
full payment.
To save trouble and Vexations del.
ays, the missionaries agreed to this,
thus giving up two thirds of their
claims for the sake of prompt pay.
ment.
But the Sultan evidently thought
he had done his full duty in promi
sing, and in spite of all efforts to in
duce him to act upon that promise,
he has done nothing. The United
States, having exhausted every pos
sible diplomatic means Of securing
a settlement of this matter has fin
ally made a peremptory demand
upon the Sultan for payment; and
in the event OF his continued failure
to redeem his pledged word, will
have no. alternative but to resort to
force.
The Turkish Minister at Wash
ington attempted few days ago, to
state the question from the stand
point OF the Sultan, but only sue
ceeded in exhibiting either his own
ignorance or duplicity.
His first reason why harsh meas
ures should not be taken is puerile.
He says s9The amount is so small,
paltry sum on which to base such
regrettable and injurious act as the
rupture of the friendly relations
between two Countries If that il
the only trouble, the smallness o
the amount, why not pay it, and b
done with it.
Another point he makes is thai
the remarks Of the Sultan, promis
ing payment, were nisiuterpreted
and he naiyely adds =
81 am sure that had the Sultar
iyen his promise to pay, an i'm
mediate settlement would have beer
made.v
Ifthis promise had been made
once, some error OF Interpretation
might have been possible, but h
made the promise repeatedly. Hon
Oscar j. Straus, United States
Minister to Turkey, whois lnow il
Washington, said in reference to
this point -
ssThe Sultan has made the promi
Sc to pay the indemnity claims three
times first, shortly after my arrival

MiIi0ry Operations In the Philip

Warrington, Feb. 22.-According to
information received at the war de-
partment from Manila, with the end
of the present expedition of Gen.
Bates into the two provinces at the
extreme southern part of the island
of Luzon, military operations in the
Philippines will close. AIterward, it
is said, there is nothing to do but to
undertake to maintain order through
police system. Attention is now be-
ing given to that subject and steps
are being taken to form thoroughly
mobile, lightly-armed gendarmerie,
something on the order of the Cana
dian mounted police, to cover the is
lands at all points and conserve the
energies of the regular troops.
New York, Feb. ga special from
Hong Kong, British China, to the Even
ing World says: United States Con-
sui Wildman has information that
three members of the Filipino junta,
Luban, Ponce and Agoncillo, brother
of the envoy, left recently for Japan to
meet Aguinaldo. This gives credence
to the story that Aguinaldo escaped
from the island of Luzon to Formosa
when hunted by Gen. Lawton's expedi-
ton through the northern part of the
island"

Hayes, the wife of DR.. L. Z. Hayes,
a dentist, was shot and killed in her
apartments in the Hotel Endicott by
DR.. Frank Caldwell, an assistant of
DIR. Hayes. Caldwell then shot and
killed himself. DR.. Hayes had for
years befriended Caldwell. and had
given him an opportunity to advance
in his profession; in fact had con

family. AS a result of this treatment,
Caldwell became enamored of Mrs.
Hayes. and il seems, after many re-
pulses, decided that if he could not
possess the woman he would take her
