FULL SATISFACTION.
Sultan Signs Trade Settling All French
 Claims.

PARIS, Nov 1.-The French for tan has signed an trade for the execu- ton of his engagements with the French government and that the Fran co-Turkish dispute is now at an end.
 Tewfik Pasha, Ottoman minister of foreign affairs, wrote . letter to M. Bapst, councillor of the French em- bassy in Constantinople, notifying him of the signing of the trade, which, while settling the original French de- mands, accepts the fresh demands, as set forth in a dispatch to the Temps from Constantinople Friday. together with an additional clause by which the sultan pledges himself to consider as authorized in full right the foundations, extensions, constructions and repairs of the schools and religious and hospita- ble establishments which France may desire to carry out If the porte is ad- yised of her intentions and makes no objections within five months.
 France has thus received full satfs- faction, and NJ. Delcasse on the re- ceipt of NJ. Bapst's dispatch telegraph ed him to inform Tcwfik Pasha that diplomatic relations had been resumed and that NJ. Bapst should consider him. self as regularly charged with the af- fairs of the embassy.
 Instructions were also sent to Admi- ral Caillard at AIitylene to re-embark the marines and to return to Greek wa ters, which is understood to mean the vicinage of the island Of Syra. Admiral Caillard will remain in the Leyant some time longer.
 NJ. Constans, the French embassador, will return to Constantinople very shortly.
 The additional clause was conceded at the request of France in order to pre- vent future difficulties, such as the Turkish provincial authorities have oft en raised either on their own initiative or in consequence of instigation by the porte.
 The Temps, which describes the re- suit as "a brilliant victory for French diplomacy" says:
 We hope the sultan will now under stand his duties toward the civilized powers and toward his own subjects, unto whom he has taken solemn en- agreements which he has always disre- garded. Otherwise Europe, which, thanks to the energetic action of France, is now able to reassume at Con- stantinople the authority she lost seven years ago, will applaud the initiative which the signatory powers of the Der. lin treaty are reported to be about to take to extort from the sultan the exc cution of clauses too long fallen into disuse."

CASTRO DIsLIkEo.
Venezuela President and His Family
 Are Accused of FaIsehcod.

Are Accused or E1iSeh0OOs
 WILLEAfSTAD, Island of Curacao, Nov. 11.-Adv:ces received here from Capacho Viejo. dated Nov. 5, say that the report from President Castro to his brother, Celestino Castro, at San Cris tobaI, to the effect that the United States government insists upon medi- ating between Venezuela and Colom- bia'' caused the greatest excitement among tlle troops on the frontier. Gen. eral Uribe-Uribe and General Modesto Castro immediately set out for San Cristobal to obtain details.
 It seems that General Uribe- Uribe re- fused to believe the report. declaring that he had no fears as to the future of the Liberal cause, because President Castro had given him a cast iron pledge not to forsake him. ''S ss i'd President Castro prove untrue to the Liberal cause. exclaimed General Uribe-U Uribe, ''the result would be his ruin. The war will enter Colombia before Christmas"
 There is considerable feeling against the Castro family among the Colom- bian Liberals and along the frontier in consequence of widespread rumor that Celestino Castro, who is com mander in chief at San Cristobal, has been privately selling cattle to the ene- my, the cattle being whisked across the frontier by means of alleged raids of Colombian Conservatives. During one of these raids a dozen soldiers were killed on both sides. It is said that the cattle changed hands at a prearranged nrina of SQQ nor hqad The bl0Od fhnS spilled is charged directly to Celestino Castro by the indignant people of Ta- cl1ira.
 From San Cristobal General Uribe- Uribe proceeded for Maracaibo.
