iting the admission of pork products from

of recent enactment. Int was made about

ana Minister Straus TO have the order TO

that the order would hereafter be rigid
ly enforced.
During some six months past the con

conSignmcnts of American hams, bacon
and other pork products at Constantine
pie, but other consignments during this
period have been refused admittance at
Smyrna and Beirut, one of the shipments
spelling at Smyrna while the question
of admission was being discussed by the

Consul Dickinson further states that
it is understood that Il very 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
appearance of direct expectation from
the United States, and are admitted with
