LONDON, April 8O.-The only dispatch
from Lord Roberts was the. usual list
of deaths and sickness. The food of
newspaper dispatches describing the re-
cent operations throws no light what
ever upon the present position of affairs,
or Of the great question as to when the
main advance is to begin. The Stand
ards announcement that General
French's cavalry is returning to Bloem-
fontein is clear proof that there is no
further hope Of capturing the retreating
Beers, and the London papers are be-
ginning to display impatience at the
practical failure Of the elaborate opera
tions of last week.
The Standard says; 1T is disheart.
ening to find that these elaborate man.

POWERS NOT OBJECTiN0.
No Word Of Protest Nor Disposition to
., sss Intarfere. .-,..,


: WASHINGTON, April 80.-The United
States government has not received the
slightest intimation from any European
nation of q disposition on its part to in
terfere in any manner in the present
dispute between the United States and
Turkey over the American indemnity
claims. It may also be said on the best
authority that none of the representa-.
tives in Washington has requested the
state department. to deliver itself Of any
explanation of it's intention affecting
Turkey, nor does our government antic-
ipate any interference by third parties
in this matter 80 long as our claims are
confined to their present perfectly legit-
innate basis. All that can be stated by
authority respecting Mr.. Griscom's
course at Constantinople is contained in
the general declaration that he is pur-
suing instructions to insist to the Turk
ish government upon a redemption of
it's promise to pay the American in
demnity claims. Naturally the officials
decline to intimate what steps will be
resorted to in case Mr.. Griscom's re-
quest is denied. They prefer to believe
that the demand will meet with sue.
cess. The phase to be feared is procras-
tination on the part Of Turkey, some-
thing harder to meet than an unqualifl.
ed refusal to pay. It is understood that
Mr.. Griscom is shaping his representa-
tions to the porte with special reference
to the avoidance Of this pitfall.

OoNsrANr1NoPLE, Saturday, April
26.-The porte has not yet replied to the
note handed to Tewhk Pasha, the Turk
ish foreign minister by the United
States charge d'affaires, Mr.. Lloyd
Griscom, regarding the indemnity claim
and the situation is unchanged. 1t is
believed in some quarters that SETTLE
ment will yet be made by means Of some
arrangement with private American
contractors, conoealing the actual pay
ment and relieving the Ottoman gov
ernment from admitting responsibility
for the losses occasioned ut the time Of
the massacre.
It is not considered here that a simple
rupture Of diplomatic relations will
render the porte easier to deal with; but
q rupture Of formal relations is not
thought necessary, as the sending Of a
warship to Mediterranean port would
suffice to obtain settlement Of the mat
ter in loss than "a hours.
The same proposition for settlement
of the indemnity question by an order
for q warship in the price Of which the
indemnity should be included was for
merly made to Franco and Italy, but M.
Oonstans and Signor Panza rejected the
proposal.
The newspaper criticisms and COM
ments upon the attitude Of Turkey in
this affair are causing great irritation at
the Ystdiz Kiosk.

General French Joined him with his

ing few miles south. The Boers were
still holding the eastern outlet Of the

Hamilton and French had made fine

whether the main body Of the Beers
had retired to Thaba N'Chu from De
wetsdorp, or had gone across the coun-
try towards Oonstantia, to effect q juno
ton with Olivier's forces rotreating
