With a United States war ship had been telegraphed -
graphed far.
Mr. Knapp , as aready cablel , va cx.
polled front IlitliB about a month ago , in
Epite of the agrement reaclieti between the
UIlitel States minister here , Mr. 'I'erroll , and
the Turkish government ( after the charges
against Mr. Knapp had been discussed )
thdt tlIC American missionary 1iould not
leave lui post until April 1 , or until the roathi
were tolerably free frouui snow , In order that
- . - he might be able to take lila family with
him. As It wat , the missionary wau corn-
pelled to leave Ifltiis before the time agreed
upan anI WithOUt his family.'lien he
reacheul IIarbokir , in custody , the news was
telegraphed lucre , and the Turkish government -
mont positively asserted that Mr. Knapp
nas the "guest" of the vail of that place
and not a lirisolter.
It. Is now stated that the missionary has
been a prisoner throughout li.- , journey to
the coast , and that the vail of Aleppo tie-
talneil him at that ilace for five ulays , while
making futile efort to make him sIgn an
agrecutuent net to return to Ilitlis under
any clrcurnetanccs. Mr. Knapp steadily re-
fiuseul to sIgn any such agreement , oiu the
ground that ho had committed no crime and
luati iti no way broken the laws of the coon-
try , and that the charges brought agaInst
luim were entirely unfounded. lie also dis-
tinetly ga'e the vail to understand that he

W'hen the vail i'aw that It was Iiseeea
to continue his ntteunpti. to get Mr. ICoapi )
to sign the agreement mentioned , the uni.s-
sulonary was allowed to proceed , still treated
as a prisoner , to Alexandretta. It had been
agreed between John V.7. ItitidIc , the United
i3tatcts charge ti' affalrea at Constantinople ,
and the TurkIsh government , thnt the

trial before the representative of the United
States. flut when the iniealonary reached
AIex3nlretta on April 23 , In spite of the
Porte's promises the Turkish authorities re-
fuirOti to deliver the prjuauier to the United
Statc , couunil. The latter entered a formal
roteet against the detention of the ml-
sionary and counuuiunicated by wire ith Mr.
