Constatinople. Aug. 14.-After pro
longed pourparlers and considerable
|haggling on the part Of the Turks, a
satisfactory solution of the American
school question has been arrived at.
This matter, which is the most import
ant of the American demands, was set
tied by extending to American schools
the same treatment as that accorded to
schools under the protection of other
powers.
A settlement of other matters affect
ing American interests in Turkey, Of
secondary Importance, has also been ef-
fected, and Minister Leishman has tele-
graphed to Rear Admiral Jewell, in
command Of the United States squadron
SEN to Smyrna, instructing him to sa-
lutte the batteries on land and depart
The sitting of the council Of ministers
at which the settlement was agreed up
on was a long one and 1t was not until
near its close that an agreement was
reached. The delay in the settlement is
believed to have been caused by the in
tervention Of the palace functionaries,
whose policy. in order to retain the
sultan's favor, consists of combating
the rights Of privileges Of foreign sub
ljects.
