MANILA. April 23—Last week has
been one of the bloodiest of the war
since the first day’s fighting around
Manila. Authentic reports, mostly ofr

TURKEY REPLIES,
* ,■*
American* to lie Compeumted Sam* a*
Other Foreign Subjects.
CONSTANTINOPLE, April 23.—The
j porte has replied to the American de
j mands, stating that Turkey will com
I pensate American missionaries under
j the same conditions as in the case of
other foreign subjects.
The United States legation has
joined the other embassies in protest
ing against the increase of Import
duties.
The porte has not yet replied to the
last colective note, but the changed
tone of the Ottoman officials leads to
a belief that a settlement has been
reached in conformity with the de
mands of the foreign republics. It is
now fully expected that the porte will
invite the embassies to discuss the
proposed changes.
There is general interest in polit
ical circles regarding the attitude of
the United States in the indemnity
claim and it is believed that the pow
ers having similar claims will support
American action.
WASHINGTON, April 23.—Neither
Secretary Hay nor the Turkish minis
ter has been advised of the reported
action of the porte in replying to the
American demands. In the absence
of official information and of the spe
cific conditions of the reply, officials
here piefer not to discuss the matter,
but express the hope that a satisfac
tory and amicable settlement of the
differences between the two countries
may be reached.

The Boers are divided into three di

of whose artillery Is audible.
General Brabant’s relief force is re

of Bushman’s Kop, twenty miles from

The Basutos are posted on the border
for defensive purposes. They are be

showing the most intense interest in
the outcome of the developments of the
next twenty-four hours.
MASERU, Basutoland, April 23
General Brabat’s guard reached Bush
ina’s Kop last evening. The Boers held
a strong position there, with two guns.
The engagement opened at sunrise
with heavy rifle fire. At 6:30 a. m. can

General Brabant’s forces are on the

these districts and they also look for

Germany being unable to render the

NO ULTIMATUM AS YET ISSUED
State Department Proceeding With Can'
tlon In Its Work—There are Others
Having Claims Which the Turkish Gov
ernment lias Thns Far Ignored—Uncle
Sam to Take the Initiatory Toward
Collection.
WASHINGTON, April 21.—Secre
tary Hay returned to Washington to
day from New York. An accumula
tion of departmental business awaited
him, but nothing in the nature of an
ultimatum directed to the Turkish
government was included in the mass
of correspondence.
It is apparent that, though deter
mined upon positive action, the State
department is proceeding decorously
ana wiin uue precautions against ue
ing led into any position which it can
not maintain. It may be stated by
authority that the State department
is entirely satisfied of the accuracy
of Minister Starus’ statement relative
to the promises made to him by the
porte, notwithstanding the attempted
explanations and efforts to becloud the
issue by declarations that the sultan’s
promises were conditional.
The minister’s dispatches, sent
while he was in Constantinople, are
couched in exact terms; his written
statements were fully confirmed by
his oral explanations to the depart
ment upon his return to the United
States, and, moreover, the pledges he
secured were similar to those made
to the two preceeding United States
ministers to Turkey. In the opinion
of the State department officials it is
inconceivab.e that three United States
ministers should be consecutively de
ceived in the terms of a promise or
should have reached similar misunder
standings.
The approval which the State de
partment’s latest action seems to have
received in Europe was anticipated,
it being realized here that several of
the continental powers having claims
similar to our own against Turkey,
being themselves prevented from imi
tating any forcible demand upon the
Turkish government by reason of the
jealousy of their neighbors, are en
tirely willing that the United States
government shall act as a pioneer in
this matter and clear the way for a
prosecution of their own claims.
MIST PAY TOR THEIR LANDS
■linger Herman Rules on the Bill to Give
Nebraska Settlers a 1,1ft.
WASHINGTON, April 20.—Commis
sioner Herman of the general land
office, reporting upon the bill “for the
relief of homestead settlers on that
portion of the great Sioux reservation
lying and being in the state of Ne
braska, formerly in the territory of
Dakota, now South Dakota,” says that
the design of the bill is to amend all
laws in force respecting that portion
of the great Sioux reservation in Ne
braska, so as to relieve the homestead
settlers thereon from the payment of
$1.25 per acre. That the settlers shall
receive patents for their homestead
entries on the payment of the usual
land fees, without being required to
pay any other or additional sum. This,
Mr. Herman says, would be a discrim
ination in favor of these settlers and
against those in South Dakota upon
the former Sioux reservation.

To Report Grand Army Bill.
WASHINGTON, D. C„ April 21.—
After extended conferences the house
committee on invalid pensions, of
which Representative Sulloway of New
Hampshire is chairman, finally deter
mined today to report to the house
senate bill 1477, which is known as the
"Grand Army bill.” The final draft of
the bill aggregates the disabilities un
der which applications may be made
for pension under the act of June 27,
1809. The other radical change in ex
isting law is the changing of the rate
of income of a soldier’s widow from
the present rate of $96 per year to an
“actual net income of $250 per year.”
Kales as to Branding Cattle.
WASHINGTON, April 21.—Congress
man Burke of South Dakota, in be
half of the stockmen of th estate, has
requested the Indian officials to frame
rules and regulations requiring stock
men and Indians on reservations to
comply with the state law with refer
ence to the branding of catttle. It is
asserted that many brands used on
reservations are similar to those reg
istered under the law, and that this
condition of affairs has created con
siderable confusion. It is probable
that such a regulation will be adopted.
, TURKEY MIST PAY IP
Prosecution of Claims for Damages to
American BHsslonanes«
WASHINGTON, April 19.—The
news of the firm latitude assumed by
the state department toward the Turk
ish government in the prosecution of
its claim for damages to American
missionary property caused something
of a sensation in diplomatic circles to
day.
Three successive American ministers
have prosecuted these claims; each
has received a promise of prompt set
tlement, and yet not a dollar has been
paid. With European diplomats that
is an old experience and they have
consequently been somewhat surprised
at the announcement that the United
States government is actually going
to insist upon performance instead of
promise. Minister Angell, after trying
his hand at collecting for two years,
recommended that a united States war
ship be sent to seize Smyrna and col
lect revenues at the custom house
there sufficient to meet our claims.
This suggestion was not seriously
entertained, nor is it now. In me first
place, according to the state depart
ment officials, most of the important
business interests in Smyrna are in
the hands of foreigners, not Turks,
and a bombardment by a United
States fleet might result in a pretty bill
for damages against us.
Then, as there is still a remnant of
a Turkish navy, the United States
would have to send a squadron instead
of a single war ship. Such a move
ment would, without doubt, be resent
er by the remainder of Europe, wmch
could not contemplate with equanim
ity an action by the United States mat
would perhaps destroy the iruits of
many years' work of the greatest
European statesmen by precipitating
a final crisis in Turkey.
Therefore the next step to De taken
by our government will not be warlike,
but will suggest in a most dignified
manner the indignation felt by the
United States at the betrayal of Turk
ish promises. How this aitnude will
bear upon the Turkish minister in
Washington cannot be foreioiu at this
moment. He is so far absolutely un
entangled in the negotiations of thdse
American claims, but that fact might
not save him from being made tne im
mediate victim of his country’s lacues.
The minister, -owever, is very popular
in Washington.
