aV Season for Belief That the Porto Is Censoring All American Dispatches , NO WORD FROM OUR BATTLESHIP Therefore the Situation at the Fort of Smyrna Can Ouly Mo Guessed At The Portu Still KcfuucH to Issue Exequatur to Delegate- United States. LONDON , Dec. 1. Nothing in re gard to the United States battleship Kentucky Is coining direct from Smyr na. The authorities there are evident * Jy censoring all dispatches. CONSTANTINOPLE , Thursday , Nov. 29. The opinion is expressed in diplo matic circles that the American claims arising from the Armenian massacres "may now be regarded as practically settled , as an irado providing for the building of a cruiser in the United States in officially promulgated. " The question of the consulate at Httr- ! > . * poet remains open , the portc persist ing in Its refusal to grant an exe quatur to Dr. Thomas II. Norton. The moral effect , nowcver , created by the presence of the United States battle ship Kentucky at Smyrna in support of the representations of the American legation , taken in conjunction with the .settlement of the other claims , leads the legation , to nope for an early ar rangement of all outstanding differ ences. LONDON , Dec. 3. A Renter dis patch from Constantinople says * t is suggested that Russia is prompting the porte to refuse to grant an exequatur to Dr. Norton. The dispatch adds : "It is an open secret that they dislike the loreign consuls in Asia Minor , espe cially the Americans , whom they sus pect of aiding the American mission v/ork In Armenia. " WASHINGTON. Dec. 1. No propo sition has come to the United States government from Turkey looking to the payment of the missionary claims under the guise of an order for a war ship to be built in the United States. "While it is hardly expected that any formal proposition of this kind will be forthcoming , it is , of course , beyond the power of the state department to prevent or interfere with any arrange ment with American shipbuilders and individual claimants. The point is , after all , to have the claims paid and the state department officials are not particular as to the form in which the payments are paid. Perhaps they are indifferent in this respect because of knowledge of the fact that the Turk ish government might be terribly em barrassed by the pressure of Euro pean creditors were the United States .government to insist upon certain forms of procedure in this case. There are no developments in the ne gotiations respecting the exequatur of Dr. Norton , who would be United States consul at Harpoot. The matter is still one of correspondence and the authorities here are confident that the Turkish government will , in the end , yield on this point. BOLOitfEN TO BO HANGED.

"He appeared thin and emaciated and his voice had a hollow ring. He was very feeble , so feeble in fact that ho could not move about without as sistance. The audience continued for upwards of a quarter of an hour and at its conclusion the holy father bless ed me and those whom I might bless on my return. As ne left the audience chamber I felt that I had seen the pope for the last time. " TURKEY WILLING TO SETTLE. Imperial Irado Issued Ordering a Cruiser in the United Stiitcs. CONSTANTINOPLE , Nov. 30. The arrival of the United States battleship Kentucky at Smyrna has so shaken up the palace that indications are ac cumulating of a desire to hasten a settlement to the -.3faction of the United States. An Irade has been is sued calling for the purchase of a cruiser at Philadelphia , the price for which is to include the $90,000 Arme nian indemnity. This is regarded as a subterfuge designed for local con sumption , in order to save the face of the Porte. Nevertheless it is now believed that Turkey will find the money and order a cruiser in the hope of propitiating the United States. De spite the dispute the relations between the Unitd Saes legation and the Porte continue cordial. Future .oolcs Dark for China. LONDON , Nov. 30. "The represen tations of Prince Ching , Li Hung Chang and other to the Chinese court , that the powers are dissatisfied and are threatening action on the Yarig- Tse-Kiang to stop supplies , " says the Pekin correspondent of the Morning Post , wiring Tuesday , "are reported to be having an effect , and it is said that the court is likely to have measures to meet the powers. An American corre spondent reports from Pao-Ting-Fu that 3,000 Germans under General Ket- tler and 2,000 French troops under General Bailloud concentrated there recently for the winter , with the inten- of making frequent expeditions north to punish Boxer Arillages. Prince Uk- tomski is in daily conference with Li Hung Chang , and occasionally meets Prince Ching. He regards the outlook as dark , e'ven if the powers agree , for , says he , China may reject the terms , and then will come war , rebellion and famine. Three Crushed in a Box Car.

POWERS MAY MODIFY OR REJECT Meanwhile , the American Connuls Are Collecting Damages for Missions by I/CBB Diplomatic , but by More Direct Methods. WASHINGTON , Nov. 29. The state department cabled Minister Conger to forward the text of the agreement reached by the loreign ministers at Pekin. Meanwhile he will withhold his signature until the president has had an opportunity to satisfy himself as to this important document and to make such changes as will bring it in accord with our policy. It is safe to predict that this particular agreement will not become effective in its pres ent shape. It appears that upon inquiry directed to the powers themselves their ministers at Pekin have not correctly reflected their present views as to the basis of the peace negotiations. This statement certainly is true as to a ma jority of the powers interested , and the fact is regarded as warranting the pre diction that the agreement must toe modified or abandoned. It is learned at the state depart ment that while these negotiations are dragging along at Pekin some of the American consuls in China are achiev ing geol results by individual efforts. They are interesting themselves in cases appealing directly to the viceroys of the great provinces , -where American property and missionaries have suffer ed , to procure indemnity and repara tion , and in most cases they are suc ceeding very well. It is surmised from the latest Chinese advices that the English consuls are doing likewise , and are collecting many claims , and the moneys are being turned over to the mission interests which suffered. If this movement continues it is entirely possible that neither the United States nor Great Britain will be obliged to concern themselves with the prosecu tion of individual claims for indemnity through the slow moving agencies at Pekin. TAKE ALL OP BANK'S MONEY. Robbers liiiul Citizen and Allow Him to See the Job Done. EMDEN , 111. , Nov. 29. Four masked men wrecked the Farmers' Dank of Em- den early today. It is stated that they secured all the funds of the bank , be tween $3,000 and $4,000. When the robbers discharged their first blasts of dynamite in an effort to open the vault the explosion aroused a citizen , John Alberts , four blocks away. Alberts hurried to the bank. One o'f the robbers was on guard in the street. He seized Alberts , who was bound hand and foot and dragged into the bank , where he witnessed the gang drilling into the vault door , making ready a second blast. When the fuse was lighted the robbers stepped outside and left Alberts lying in the corner when it went off. He was not seriously injured , however. The second blast un hinged the doors and the robbers made off -with all the cash. Securing a hand car , they pulled in the direction of the Delavan. There they were met by Night Patrolman Sanford , who attempted to arrest them. One of the robbers fired and Sanford fell , mortally wounded through the body. Outside the town the men boarded a passenger train on the Chicago & Alton. All traces of them were lost. The engineer o the passen ger train claims that he saw a man jump from the first car near Minier , while the train was moving at a high speed , but a search of the locality failed to show any traces of the man. The bank building was almost a complete wreck and the vault was en tirely ruined. HOLD SESSION ON SUGAR BEET. igii Nations to Attempt Another Con ference at JJrussrls. PARIS , Nov. 29. The recent confer ence between the powers concerned as sure the reassembling of the sugar beet conference at Brussels.

Va. , Nov. 29 Four boys were killed and fifteen or twenty injured by an explosion of nitroglycerine - tro-glycerine today.

It contained nitro-glycerine and its explosion killed Herman Finuley , aged 14 ; Rolins Findley , 12 , and William Shriver , aged 15 , and another , name unknown. Rathhono Js Optimistic. HAVANA , Nov. 29. The impression prevails that ex-Director of Posts Rathbone will not fare badly in his coming trial , and he has recently ex pressed his belief that he will be fully exonerated. He has even intimated that in such an event he will expect reinstatement. The Spanish law , un der which the trial is to be conducted , commands the reinstatement of officials charged with crime against whom the state fails to make out a case or con viction.

The feeder market has also hraced up a little. The demand from the country has not been very heavy , hut still there have been enough buyers on the market to take all that was coming at good strong prices.

London Statist 1'roposes Negotiations With Gcnrralfi JJotha and Dewct. LONDON , Dec. 1. Tomorrow the Statist will propose that the govern ment should begin negotiations with Commandant General Botha and Gen eral Dewet to bring the war to a close. As the Boor leaders might misunder stand the motive of an overture from the military , it will suggest that the highest civil authority in Capetown should begin the negotiations , if not Sir Alfred Milner , then the chief jus tice of Cape Colony , or even Mr. J. F. Holfniayer. This great financial journal will lead up to its proposal by an analysis of the situation in South Africa and will say : "We are losing in every way ; los ing in prestige and losing in life. We are seeing our South African posses sions plunged into greater distress and the opinion is gaining ground abroad that we are incapable of bring the struggle to a satisfactory termination. Military incompetence will be alleged and the Statist wil aver that military harshness should be avoided and the Boers be conciliated. " Looking at Our Warships. SAN FRANCISCO , Nov. 29.

COUNCIL WITH SECRETARY ROOT War Department Menmiro Proposes ft Maximum Strength of D5.OOO Mnu with n Minimum of 58.OOO utid Moro Artillery tor the Service. WASHINGTON , Nov. 2S The house committee on military affairs today met for the purpose of considering the new army bill. The business was mostly of a preliminary character , the discussion being quite general on army affairs. The republican members of the committee apparently are in favor of giving the president such an army as he may require. The committee will consult with Secretary of War Root this afternoon , if he readies Washington. The draft of a bill al ready prepared by Chairman Hull will be the basis of the measure which the committee will consider. This bill provides for an Army of the maximum strength of 100,000 men , with a mini mum of 50,000 and general officers at the rate of one brigadier general for each 4,000 men , with major generals in proprotion. Chairman Hull states that there will be but one bill prepared and if any staff changes are contemplated they will be incorporated in that meas ure. ure.The The members of the committee probably will confer with Secretary Root in a day or two. This afternoon they went over the bill which has been known as th'e war department bill , drawn on lines suggested and ap proved by Secretary Root. The sec retary expects to give further consid eration to the bill and then will send it to members of the committee. The war department bill provides for a maximum of 90,000 men and a mini mum of 58,000 , with thirty regiments of infantry , fifteen regiments of cav alry and a gradual increase of the ar tillery until at the end of five years there will be 18,000 men. The artillery is not to be organized into regiments ; but as batteries and organizations of heavy and field artillery. With the maximum army there is to be 150 men to each infantry company , making 1- 830 men to a regiment. Ths maximum of a cavalry troop is to be 100 men. There is no provision for a lieuten ant general in the war department bill , but under the present law the senior - nior major general commanding would have the rank of lieutenant general. The war department bill does not give the same increase of major generals and brigadier generals as the Hull bill. The detailed staff provision is an im portant feature of the measure. It pro vides that hereafter vacancies in the staff , excepting the medical corps , pay corps and engineers , shall be filled by details from the line , such detailed officers being subject to line duty at any time. This is the same as the Hull bill of the last congress and is earnestly favored by Secretary Root. The war department bill provides that the promotions shall be made from the regular army according to the present rank , down to and including the rank of captain. The officers of the present volunteer army can become officers in the regular army , but in the grades of first and second lieutenant only , the vacancies in the captains' rank being filled from the first lieutenants of the present regular establishment. The relative rank of the volunteer officers entering the regular establishment is to be determined by seniority. The committee will not hold an other session until Friday , adjourning over tomorrow and Thanksgiving day. The Note Rparlies"YVaHhlnstoii. WASHINGTON , Nov. 27 , The State department has been informed of the agreement or understanding of pre liminary treaty ( it is not possible now to learn in just what form the matter stands ) , reached by the foreign ministers at Pekin , but it is not re garded as expedient to give out for publication at this time any detailed information regarding it.
