Dear Strive have just closed a

who preached with such power and
demonstration of the Holy Spirit
that for ten nights he held a crowd

WHAT TURKEY MIGHT Do.
invaluable Treaties Exist Which
Might be Broken.
COULD MAKE TRoUBLEIN SULU.

Washington, April 23.-The Sultan
of Turkey is the ablest diplomat now
reigning and it is uncomfortable that
the Turkish minister has not warned
his sovereign of the American attitude,
after officially learning at the state
department that the matter had not
been magnifed by the press, that the
pie had been exhausted and that
the prompt redemption of the Sultan's
repeated promises might have to be
peremptorily demanded.
1t is intimated by diplomats familiar
with the situation that the sultan of
Turkey does not care particularly
whether an ultimatum is issued by the
United States because of the neglect to
pay the claim for 500, 900 which the
United States is now demanding, after
years of promise, as he has means OF
reprisal at hand. There are in the
Philippines more than $500, 900 Mo-
hammedans. in the Sulu Islands, whose
devotion to their Calipha is fanatical.
The sultan would have to but lift his
finger and these Malays and Moros
would join forces with the Tagalos.
The war in Luzon would be extended in
every direction throughout the islands
and the American forces would neces-
sarily have to be greatly increased.
More then that, a break would give
the sultan a long desired chance to
break certain treaties between the Uni
ted States aud the Ottoman empire.
One of these, concluded shortly after
Commodore Decatur punished the Tri-
politan pirates, guarantees that any
American accused of crime or misde-
meanor within the Turkish empire shall
be tried only by United States con-
sular court and be punished only &C
cording to American laws. This is a
privilege not granted to the subjects of
any other power, and its advantages
are Of peculiar Importance to the mis-
sionaries in Turkey.

The Plague in Manila.

Manila, April 24.-The sudden deaths
of Filipinos and Cinnamon in Quiapo
Market have led to an investigation,
showing that fifteen cases of the
plague, fourteen of which were fatal,
have occurred within a week. The
market is located in the center of the
city. In black, rotten, wooden build
ings, the keepers of the stalls live with
their families huddled together in
filth. Some of the victims were
stricken and died within an hour.
There have been several deaths in
other sections of the city recently,
which have been traced to injection
from the market. After all the mar
ket people had gathered together the
health officers threw a guard around
the buildings and will keep the in
mates quarantined there for fortnight
They will then burn the market. The
total number of bubonic deaths are 119
Cinnamon and sixty-four FiEpinos.

five years at an advance OF not less than
10 per cent. over the prices Of the same
grade of tobacco during the last five

mission, a majority of whom shall repre-
sent the seller.
I'VE further agree to take stock with
said Jordan and his associates, in a cor
pOratiOn which shall be formed for the pur-
pose of manipulating and disposing OF said
tobacco. II we make default i'm this
agreement in any particular We agree to

per cent. below the past years production.
We invite the cooperation Of Virginia.
South Carolina. and other sections which
grow bright tobacco"
