ANSWER OF THE POWERS
To the Porte Regarding Proposed
Change of Tariff Duties.

Constantinople, May 3.-The ambas-
sailors met yesterday and decided to
reply to the porte'S note of April 18th
regarding the increase of duties, as fol-
lows:
18th embassies note the pOrte's
declaration that it does not intend to
introduce any unilateral measures and
will hasten to inform their govern
ments of this. The ambassadors have
decided to make their consent to an
increase conditional on the removal
of the abuses in the matter Of chemi-
al analysis, the suppression of ware
house duties and the abolition of the
stipulation whereby articles not speci-
fed in the tariffs may be interdicted,
confiscated Of destroyed. The ambas-
sadors have decided to make the pay
ment of indemnities to foreigners a
separate question, and to deal there
with at a later date"
Washington, May 3.-The press ac-
count of the conclusions of the ambas-
sailors at Constantinople are said to be
substantially in the line of their de-
mands at the beginning. The main
object of our government was to en-
sure the protection of the United
States exporters against any changes
in the Turkish tariff that would
amount to discrimination, though the
fact might not appear in the trade.
Therefore the assurance that the porte
will not resort to unilateral measures
is acceptable. Respecting the decision
Of the ambassadors to make the pay
ments to foreigners on account of in
demnity claims a separate question fol
after consideration, it is said here,
that our claims, and particularly the
missionary claims, are not to be affect
ID by any such agreement and they
are not involved in the present issues
before the ambassadors.

The sanitary condition of the portion

raging and smallpox steadily gaining.
All possible efforts are being made to
stamp out the smallpox, but with so
many thousands of tents scattered over
miles of territory, it is impossible for
the health authorities to keep track of
all cases. AS nearly as can be traced
the disease was introduced from the
steamer Oregon. AfterWard the steamers

infected and were placed in quarantine.
The Oregon had left before her cases
were discovered. Gen. Randall is COM

is organized. I understand the natives
all along the Siberian coast are suffering
