FIRE IN BANK SALOON.
Curious Origin of BIaze-Fifty Dollars
 Covers Loss.

A small fire occurred last night about 10 o'clock in the rear room of the Bank saloon at the corner of First avenue and Twentieth street. caused by the bursting of a gas pipe and the escaping gas be- coming ignited from an electric wire.
 The blaze burned a hole in the ceiling. It was speedily put out and no other damage was done except that which may have resulted to some Shelf goods from the small streamsof the chemical engine.
 The cause of the blaze seems to have been unusual. in as much as 1t is said the gas pipe was broken and the gas lighted by a flash from an adjacent elec- trio wire which was short clreulted in some way by hitch of the trolley pole of passing car. The loss will possibly not exceed $50

SULTAN EXPECTED no YIELD.
British Mind Relieved by Change In the
Egyptian situation.

Special Gable Despatch to TAE SUN.
LONDON. May 5.-The action Of the Gov
eminent in sending an ultimatum to the
Sultan and reinforcing the, British troops
in Egypt, combined with Germany's formal
assurance through her Ambassador in
London that Abdul Hamid was not sup
ported by her, the sincerity Of which as
surance Ia generally accepted freely, has
considerably relieved the feelings OF anxi-
ETY. which prevailed earlier in the week.
1t is generally assume now that the
Sultan will once more give way, but the
mystery behind this most recent action
of his In Egypt remains uncleared. 1t Is
Turkish influence which nourishes feelings
of discomfort in the native mind with the
Egyptian occupation and 1t was undoubtedly
the work OF Turkish emissaries which re.
vived the Egyptian question in the vernac-
ular Moslem press early in the year after
having allowed it to elumber for some time
The Anglo-French agreement had con-
siderably dampened the ardor Of the OPP
ponents OF British occupation and the sud-
den revival of the question caused surprise
and u~neasiness in British Egyptian circles,
but the object remains obscure.
Musurus Pasha, the Turkish Ambassador
to Great Britain, had a conference with
Sir Edward Grey, the Foreign Secretary,
this afternoon. 1t Is reported that the
Sultan has surrendered and aoquiesoed in
the British demands.
A despatch from Paris to the Observer
SAYS France and Great Britain have reached
a definite understanding in reference to
Tabah. M. Constans, the French Am
bassador to Turkey, and M. Zinovief, the
Russian Minister at Constantinople. have
advised the Sultan to surrender i'm
mediately.
