HAVING DESIRED EFFECT.
Negotiations With Turkey With
Responsible Authority.
HAVE DONE ARTFuL DoDGING.

Constantinople, Aug. 23.-The sharp
reminder of United States Minister
Leischman to the porte is having the
desired effect of fastening the carrying
out of the latter's engagements for the
settlement of pending questions. One
of the minor American demands, here
tofore disregarded, namely, the return
of a package of insurance policies
seized by the authorities, has b>en
complied with, while indications point
to the porte being DESTROYS of prevent
ing further friction by settling the
other matters, including the rebuilding
of the American mission house az
Kharput, Turkish Armenia, destroyed
at the time of the Armenian massacre
there, and the granting of permission
to Armenian women and children to
join their husbands and fathers who
are naturalized Americans.
Washington.-No additional infor-
nation concerning the relations be-
tween the United States legation and
the Turkish government has been
received at the state department.
Among otLer difficulties which Minister
Leischman has encountered, not re-
ferred to in the cable dispatches, is in
negotiating with responsible author
ity. His intercourse has been with
the minister of foreign affairs, with
whom he has reached an agreement on
nearly every question at issue, but the
grand vizier revokes or annuls the
action of the foreign minister, and
negotiations come to naught. Minister
Leischman is insisting that the person
with whom he deals in the matter of
adjusting the various questions must
be responsible, SO that agreements
reached will be carried into effect.

PILLSBURY HIDES HIS SHIPS.
HlggIn.on stays in Port Ana Is Nom
plussed.


Roclsport, Mass, Aug. 23.-At mid
night thirty-six hours had passed of
the possible 100 for the naval conflict
between the attacking squadron, COM
manded by Rear Admiral Higginson.
The night, thick and cloudy as it
was, with the moon quite obscured.
developed so many confusing situations
and so many extraordinary reports
that the Higginson squadron has just
cause for grave uneasiness. Somehow
the feeling grew that it would not be
such difficult attainment after all for
the three auxiliary cruisers of the
White squadron to slip in and anchor
at some harbor, protected as they
would be by the inviting darkness
which prevailed.
The complications which developed
in the shape of undCubted news that
Commander Pillsbury had secretly
landed some of his officers ashore to
spy upon the movements of the Blue
squadron, served only to increase the
perplexity of Admiral Higginson's po-
sition.

Captain.O. Bertoletto of the italian
Barque "Lincelles," in a recent letter
from the chief officer of the Italian
Barque Lincelles, Pensacola, Fla,
writes:
al have suffered for several years
with chronic cafarrh of the stomach.
The doctors prescribed for me without
my receiying the least benefit Through
one of your pamphlets began the use
of Peruna, and two bottles have en-
Hre!y cured me. Recommend Peruna
TO all my friends. "---O. BerfoIeffO.
In catarrh of the stomach, as well as
catarrh of any part of the body, Peruna
is the remedy. As has been often said
if Peruna will cure catarrh of one part,
it will cure catarrh of any other part of
the body.
Catarrh is catarrh whever located,
and the remedy that will cure it any
where will cure it everywhere.

King of Spain Crazy.

Madrid, Aug. 23.-The story is again
revived here that the explanation of
the recent eccentricities of the King of
Spain is to be found in the fact that

roams about the palace unclothed and
that his acts of independence are
really deeds emanating from disor-
dered brain. Queen Christina is re-
ported to be sorely distressed and has
consulted with the emperor of Austria
