flames swept an area of 100 acres clean
within two hours. Native refugees are
now sheltered in the schools and other
public buildings and many are camping

timated at 100000 in gold. There
were no casualties.
officials of the health department do
not agree with the estimate of damage
given above, which was made by the
police and firemen. They assert that
269 houses are destroyed and 1.500 ma

PORTE IN BAD LIGHT
Ambassador Lcishman, to CONSTANT
nopIe, Makes Adroit Move in Regard
to sultan's Failure to Arrange Salts
factory Settlement of Schools Cues
tion.

Constantinople April 20.-Ambassa-
dor Leishman has made a new move in
the American schools question, by
which he has placed the porte in an
awkward position, by appearing to
thwart the will of the sultan. In his
last communication to the foreign Of
flee, the ambassador pointedly called
attention to the fact that notwith-
standing formal promises and pledges
of his majesty that a satisfactory set
tlement of the schools question would
be arranged, the porte has utterly
failed to carry out the imperial as
surances. The action of Leishman in
thus holding the porte responsible for
the delay, is regarded in diplomatic cir
cles here as being very adroit. Even
Turkish circles admit that it places
the government in an unenviable light,
seeming to oppose the execution of the
sultan's promises.
