the strenuous efforts on the part of himself
ana Minister StrauS TO have the order re-
pealed, which have not met with success,

order would be hereafter rigidly enforced.
During some six months past the consul
has secured the admission Of several con-
signments of American bacon and other
pork products at Constantinople, but other
c"onsignments during this period have been
refused admittance at Smyrna and Beirut.
one shipment spelling at Smyrna while the
question of admission was being discussed
by the Porte. Consul Dickson further
states that IL is understood that a large
part of the pork products that come into
Turkey is American. but the shipments
come by way of Hamburg, Liverpool and
other large European cities, thus yelling

the United States, and are admitted with
