AN INSULT BY TURKEY
Refusal to Grant Exequatur
to American Consul.
VIOLATION OF TREATY RIGHTS
Request KeJrU4 on the Ground That
Harpoot Is Mot a Commtr-
lml rolns.
Constantinople, Nov. 36. The porte
has definitely rejected the request tor
an exequatur for a United States con
sul at Harpoot. This refusal is regard
ed by the United States legation as a
direct violation of the treaty rights,
and, consequently, despite the refusal,
Thomas H. Norton, who was appointed
by President MoKinley some time ago
to establish a consulate at Harpoot,
has been directed to proceed to his
post. The expected visit of the battle
ship Kentucky to Smyrna is believed to
relate quite as much to this matter as
to the indemnity question.

sult that the losses of the former were

The stores and , restaurants at Colon
were closed and the rubels held a por
tion of the railroad line. ' Another
rebel force w.as reported to be engaging
the government troops near Panama.
Business is entirely suspended at the
latter place, and both Panama and Co
lon are in a state of terror. The rebels
are attacking in a determined manner,
and it Is feared the slaughter will be
great before - decisive results are
reached. The liberals, it is asserted
by the passengers of the steamer, still
bold Buena Yeutura, though the Co
lombian government is making great
effort to regain possession of it.
