Notified French OFFICIAL.
Tewfik Pacha, Ottoman minister Of
foreign affairs, wrote a letter to M.
Bapst, councillor of the French EN-.
bassy in Constantinople, notifying him
Of the signing of the trade, which,
while settling the original Frnch de-
mands, accepts the fresh demands as
set forth In The Temps from Con-
stantinople Friday and cabled to the
Associated Press, together with an ad-
ditional clause by which the sultan
pledges himself to consider as author
lied in full right the foundations, eX-
tensions, constructions and repairs Of
the schools and religious and hospita-
BILE establishments which France may
desire to carry out If the porte is ad.
vised Of her intentions, and makes no
objection within five months.
France has thus received full salts
faction, and M. Delcasse, on the re-
ceipt Of M. Bapst's dispatch Sunday
morning, telegraphed him to inform
Tewfik Pacha that diplomatic rela
tions had been resumed and that M.
Bapst should consider himself as reg
ularly charged with the affairs Of the
embassy.
Instructions were also sent to Ad-
'miral Caillard at Mitylene to re-em-

Greek waters, which is understood to
mean the vicinage Of the island of
Syria. Admiral Cainard will remain
in the Levant some time longer.
M. Constans, the French ambassa.
dor, will return to Copstantinople
shortly.
The additional clause was conceded
at the request of France in order to
prevent future difficulties, such as the
Turkish provincial authorities have
often raised, either on their own
initiative or In consequence of insti-
CATION by the porte.
The Temps, which describe the re-
suit as "a brilliant victory for French
diplomacy" says:

"The great merit of the government
was in being able to restrict its ac-
ton. Very serious difficulties might
have arisen had France departed from
her reserve. The favorable disposi-

observe t.. progress Of the anti-Eu-
ropean movement In the sultan,s
councils. Frenchmen, Americans,
Austrians. italians and Britons have
all been victimized by the sultan and
his councillors. After the Armenian
massacres and the successful war
with Greece they thought everything
was permitted to them.
I'VE hope the sultan will now un.

which. thanks to the energetic action
OF France, is now able to reassume
at Constantinople the authority she
lost seven years ago, will applaud the
