' der the supervision, as It wore, of th
i government. In this country a man 11-
cenaed to practice In one state would, In
some cafes, not le allowed to practice In
1 another without examination. If some of
your states discredit the quality of your
medical schools, Is it surprising that my
government insists On examining American
physicians? If your physicians are so thor-
oughty educated, why do they object to
stanaing an; examination when they come
' to Turkey to practice? It will require time
I to adjust this question, hut you know the
. Turk Is very tolerant and I am sure my
government will take a liberal view of the
matter.
Missionaries Troublesome.
Now there la that other troublesome ques
tion of missionaries. Do not misunderstand
me as criticising the missionary, for I must
again remind you we are a tolerant people.
ve havs allowed the missionaries great
' liberties, and with what result? 1 read in
the American papers frequently of what
some returned missionary from Turkey has
. to nay about wiping my country ott the
map of Europe.
I am advised that certain missionaries,
when they go to Turkey, are constantly
. arousing the Armenians against the Mos
. lems. They even talk to the Armenians
about exterminating us. Is not that ln-..-
citing the Armenian subjects to rebellion?
Suppose I should establish in Washington
, a school for negroes and my teachers
; should tell the negroes attending that
i School that they ought not to submit to
f lynching and should rebel. Do you think
I. would remain in this country long or that
1 my school would flourish? This is a side
I of the question that Is not often, heard.
I But we have the missionaries, and my
I government earnestly strives to protect
',. them. It la merely Justice, however, that
'-. when the missionary comes to Turkey he
should confine himself to the religious and
Intellectual training of hi pupils, and not
endeavor to make them dissatisfied with
their' present form of government. I am
sure you cannot expect us to encourage the
undermining of cur government.
About Turkish Massacres. 1
You ask me about the massacre In Tur-:
; key. These, unfortunately, occur, but do
I they not occur in Christian lands? No one
wuuiu era so iomiBn. as 10 noia your gov
ernment responsible, every time a negro Is ,
jyncnea. i our government fieDlore these
outrages, but It can, hot always prevent

HBnoliwonder that a feeling -of. T-von't
say hostility, but coldnosa, Is aroused among
my countrymen towards those who are for
ever blaming them? I do not think the
jsuropean powers are as glad as they pro
fees to be that your squadron has gone to
Turkish waters. Thcv would be still morn
dissatisfied if they thought the Washington
government stood ready to help Turkey In
er trouble. -
I am going to Washington to do what I
oati to preserve good relations between your
country and mine. I think the report of the
troubles in Turkey are exaggerated, but I
know aH is not well there.
Your officials are supremely just and have
always treated me with such consideration
that I am confident the Washington gov
. ernment will appreciate my country's posi
tion and not be disposed to act Impatiently.

He would not disclose the contents of the
cablegrams received last night from Min
ister Irishman, but said the minister's ad
vice was that the erroneous report of the
assassination of Mr. Magelssen was due
to the use of the wrong code number and
not to any error In transmission.
Turkey Offers Make. Amends.
The Information given In the cablegram
was that the government representative
called at the consulate and offered prompt
action and would make every effort to find
out and punish the would-be assassin. Mr.
Leishman further advised the secretary
that several of the consulates have reported
to their governments that the condition of
the city of Beyroot at the present moment
is unsafe.
With the view to furnishing Secretary
Hay with the fullest facts concerning the
reports which have come from : the mis
sionaries In Turkey, a committee repre
senting the Board of American Missions
will call upon him tomorrow or Monday,
he having indicated a desire to meet such
committee and obtain from them all in
formation in their possession.
Situation Is Less Grave.
The State department today received
cablegram from Minister Leishman . In
which he stated that advices from the
American oonsuls at Harpool and Bey
root were to the effect that while the
Americans In these places are In danger
of suffering from an uprising at any time,
the situation was not at ths time of the
sending the dispatch as grave as earlier
reports would indicate.

tails, and also your Instructions, I have
made no demands other than asking for

will be given Immediate attention. The

Cotton informed of Facts.
The navy department ha received a ca
blegram from Rear Admiral Cotton say
ing that the Brooklyn and San Francisco
will sail from Oenoa for Beyroot Sunday.
They have been delayed by coaling. The
order for them to proceed to Beyroot was
not changed. Secretary Darling sent a
cablegram to Rear Admiral Cotton Inform
ing him that Vice Consul Magelssen had
not been killed, but had been fired upon.
This was done to apprise the commanding
officer of the squadron of the true aituatlon
at Be;root.

ported at Malta on her way to Manila with

If the exigency I then necessary she will

PARIS, Aug. '29. The government off!

ments of the American warship in the

article says that the I'mied States, noting
the apathy of Europe ta the present con
dition of anarchy In Turkey, I likely to
give the power a lesson In energy and
firmness. The French newspaper give ths
greatest prominence, to the dispatch re-
, furring to the movement of the American
squadron.

OY8TER BAY. N. TV. Aug. M.-It de
veloped today that the cablegram from
Minister Leishman at Constantinople,
transmitted last night to President Roose
velt, contained in adldtlon to a statement
of the Incorrectness of the announced as
sassination of Vice Consul Magslssen at
Beyroot, an important report on the situa
tlon In the Ottoman empire.
Minister Leishman takes a serious view
of the condition of affairs In Turkey.
Practically the entire domain of the aultan
is in a state of unrest and in some parts
the existing turbulence Is equivalent to In
surrection.
Minister Leishman apprehends serious
trouble acd indicate his belief that Amer
ican Interests and American live ar In
pT on neurit of the fanaticism of the
, . . . . ....
siumuimsn population.
The minister's report confirmed Informa
tion received by President Roosevelt and
Secretary Hay from unofficial sources, for
these reasons It wss decided by the presi
dent that Admiral Cotton's squadron should
proceed to Turkish waters In accordance
with his original orders. In any event
that was regarded by this government only
as an Incident.
The fact that the assault upon the consul
was not attended by a fatal result simply
modifies the action of the United States
by removing one serious phase of a situa
tion that otherwise may become Intolerable
very soon. It has not been decided defin
itely whether or not Admiral Cotton's
squadron will rendeivous at Beyroot as
originally ordered. The destination of the
vessels will be determined by the develop
ment of the Turkish situation.
English Foreign Office Pnaaled.
LONDON, Aug. 19. The officers of the
Foreign office here are greatly puzaled over
the errors In the official cablegram an
nouncing the assasslr-atlon of William
Mngelssen, the American consul at Beyroot,
Syria..
It was reiterated today that the message
was transmitted through the British am
bassador at Constantinople from the
British consulate at Beyroot. No cor
rection has been sent either to the am
bassador or consul.
Germans Scoff at Error.
BERLIN, Aug. 29. The German news
papers scoff at the error In deciphering
the Beyroot dispatch by Minister Leishman
at Constantinople. . The National Zeltung
calls Mr. Irishman's explanation "a mysti
fication" and lectures the authorities at
Washington on the desirability of "car In
these critical times." Another newspaper
comments on ths "nervousness" of th
diplomats at Constantinople and attributes
to that feeling the mistake made in de
ciphering the Beyroot dispatch.
American Energy Is Praised. '
ROME, Aug. 29. The newspapers her
warmly praise American energy which they
said "does not wait for red tape diplo
macy," but when the United States Is of
fended "proceeds to the point immediately
showing Turkey what she may expect It
tb United States falls to receive prompt
satisfaction."
The newspapers add that the methods
of the new world are likely to have affect,
whereas the sultan laughs scornfully at
the old time diplomats.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29. -(Special Tele
gram.) Secretary Hitchcock and Robert
8. Person, auditor for the Interior depart
ment in the treasury, are at odd over the
question as to how the funds received
from the sale of the Kiowa and Comanche
Indian lands In Indian Territory shall be
udited. For some time past a coldness
ha existed between Auditor Person and
the secretary. Recently the secretary or
dered that there should be no communica
tion between the auditor's office and the
office of the secretary without the latter'
knowledge. The secretary explained that
thl was necessary In order that all mat
ters of an official character ahould come
under hi own supervision. Auditor Per
son, who hu made a splendid record for
himself, takea th high ground that ths
fund received from the sales of townslte
In the Kiowa and Comanche country in In
dian Territory were subject to audit and
were at all time under control of the
Treasury department, knowing that the
act authorising the sal of these townslte
placed the actual sale in the hands of the
secretary of the interior. Mr. Person, as
auditor of these funds and responsible for
their ' proper distribution, state that he
had no knowledge of the disposition of the
funds until the Inquiry by the Dawes com
mittee was brought about by Agent Bro-
lus of th Indian Right association. Th
fact that the general land office audited
the fund growing cut of the sale of the
townsttes mentioned and not an authorized
officer of th government ha created such
friction that an Interesting condition of af

Treasury and Interior department lock

subsequent: developments.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-Emll Berliner,
tha Inventor, ha successfully tested
flying machine, tb principle employed be
ing that of the aeroplane. Th experiments
so far. have been conducted with a amall
maohln which, unlike th Langley lnven
tipn, require no extra device to start it.
Two sky rockets attached to the rear of
the model supplied ths motiv power. In
th test mads the Berliner aeroplane with
out the aid of any power not generated by
Itself, lifted and maintained Itself for
cnslderable time In the air at a distance of
eight feet from the ground. The model Is
capable of lifting while flying a weight of
more than a &ound for each square toot of
horizontal apace. The machine I con
structed of aluminum and nlckl plat and
haa weight of thirty-four pound excluding
ballast. Its main body is mads up of
arches, open below and sloping down in th
rear to wide tail ends. In moving forward
the arches produce a current of oom pressed
air, thus serving to support the structure,
Th actual lifting is done by the tall
ptecel catching the air current. The trials
have been conducted by Mr. Berliner's son,
Edgar.
A report ha been received at the Nav
department from the commander of the

of his pay Is that he should be present
and actually perform the labor required
of him.
It may be slated authorlllveiy that for th

rumor was current In Bogota Just prevlcAis
to the rejection by the senate of th
Panama canal treaty that the isthmian
commissioners had already arrived In the
United States for the purpose of forward
ing a scheme for th annexation of th
Isthmus in case th treaty waa rejected.

army on the Isthmus Is soon to be replaced
by another.

governor and did arrest a number of of

Testimonials
From the Minister of the York Street
Presbyterian Church, 1405 Pearl St..
Dcnevor, Colorado:
"I have no hesitation In affirming,
from close observation, that the Gat
Iln Cure is a marvelous and abnoiute
tie. Inebriates of every type knd in
every ntsge of the disease enter the
Institute In a more or less irresponsi
ble condition, and after from :4 to 4S
hours are masters of themselves and
experiencing a rapid restoration of
fhysical, nervous and mental energy,
have personally seen the effects of
the treatment on several and have had
unimpeachable testimony as to Its ef
ficacy on many who have already tried
other treatments which caused absence.'
from home and business, expenditure
of money and yet were complete fail
ures. I DO NOT KNOW OK A SIN
OLE FAIU'RE OF THE OATLIN
CURE. I have noticed how no effort
Is spared to make the patient feel nt
home and to restrore his self-respect.
He Is treated as a guest and frletvl.
and one to be sympathlred with In
suffering from tin ailment against
which he, unaided. Is as helplos as
the victim of typhoid fever or any
other dangerous disease. I can heart
ily recommend The Oatlln'Cure as a
spflody. harmless and certain one for
alcohoHs.ii.
