REMBERT, Yllldlz Klosli’s Conciliatory Measure* •Will Have Xo Influence With United Mate* - Turkey to Rebuild American Structures. Constantinople, April 25.—In view of the steps taken by the United States government iu regurd to the claims arising out ot the Armenian massacres, the embassies of Great Britain, France, Austria, Italy and Germany have asked their governments for instructions as to their similar claims. The promulgation of the irade author izing the rebuilding of the American structures burned at Khnrpoofc and the enlargement of the Roberts college is re garded ns showing clearly the desire of the yilidiz kiosli to be agreeable to the United States iu the hope that the latter will not press for the payment of the in demnity. The United States govern ment, however, has no intention of altawloning its claim. > The Amerinin delegation has also ob tained permission for the continued working by the American missionaries of the hospital at Kaisariah the authori ties have been trying to shut up on the E retext that certain local regulations ad not been observed. The American vice consul at Alexan- dretta, Mr. W. F. Walker, was recently prevented by the police from shipping two Americanized Armenians who were on their way to the United States on the charge that they left their native coun try surreptitiously. Orders were sent to Will lie Alexundretta to permit the embarkation of the Armenians. The report of the vice consul is awaited with tue legation iu order to determine if there are any grounds for demanding reparation. AUKItlCUS, OA. Georgia.

Mkiiiuian, Miss., April 21.—The ris ing waters caused by the heavy rainfall Sunday night has ubout ceased and rapid fall may be expected witli no fur ther rain. Something of tho difficulties hindering the resumption of traffic the New Orleans nnd Northwestern road can be judged from the fact that within a short distance of 40 miles from Meridian 5 miles of track \yill hnve to be replaced, a 4-foot cut, 200 feat long, must be cutircly tilled with dirt and the rock cleared, the roudlied, over which 280 feet of track is swinging, repaired, the erection of tliroo river trestles anil the chairing of liumcnras landslides. There is no definite record of the con dition farther sonth, but it is said to be equally ns bad. The Mobile aud Ohio stiu-ted a mixed traiu sonth to Quitmnu this afteruuou.

Alabama and Vicksburg. Railroad officials state that traffic couuot be resumed before Monday or Tuesday of next week at the earliest. NUMBER 2 DAMAGE TO THE RAILROADS DROPPED DEAD.

Attitude of American t.overmneiit oi Little Concern to Sultan—Rupture Would (jive Him Chance to Renounce Treaties With Tills Country. Washington, April 20.—If Ali Fcr- rough Bey bos communicated with his government tbesnltau must uowbo aware of the gravity with which the United States views the existing state of affairs. It is inconceivable that the minister has not warned his sovereign of tho Ameri can attitude after officially learning at the state degartmont that the situation had uot been magnified by the press, that the patience of the president and the people had been exhausted and tlmt the prompt redeinptiou of the sultan’s repeated promises might have Jo bo per emptorily demanded. It is intimated by diplomats familiar with the situation that the sultan of Turkey does not care particularly whether au ultimutum is issued by the United Htates because of the neglect to pay the claim for $100,000 which the United States is now demanding after years of promises, as he has means of reprisal at hand. There are in the Philippines more than 3,500,000 Mohammeitans iu the Snlu islands, whose devotion to tin ir calipha ls fanatic. The saltan would have but to lift his finger and these Malays and Moms would join forcepaa with the Togulos. The revolution in tin* Luzon would be exteuded all through the Philippine iabiurls. More thun that a break would give the sultun a long desired rliitucc to renounce certain treaties between the United States and the Ottoman emtiiro. One of these, concluded shortly after Commo dore Decatur pauished tho Tripolitan pirates, guarantees that nny -American accused of a crime or misdemeanor within the Turkish empire shall bo tried only by a Uu‘t*d States consular court ami be punished only according to American laws. This is a privilege not granted to the subjects of auy other paver and its advantages are peculiarly important to missionaries in Turkey. BIG DAMAGEJSUIT IS FILED. 3Ir».
