WASHINGTON. Aug. tl.-Chekib Bey, the Turkish minister, had a long Interview today with BecreUry Hay. He refused to discuss the Interview, statins that he had nothing to communicate further than what appeared In the Associated Press dispatches yesterday morning. , After the Interview Secretary Hay visited the Navy department. If the Turkish min ister requested that the European squadron be kept away from Turkish waters his re quest probably cannot be (ranted, even should this g-overnment desire to accede to It, as the Navy department states that It Would be Impossible to communicate with either Brooklyn or Ban Francisco until they arrive at Beyroot. Cheklb Bey assured Secretary Hay that the Turkish government had done nothing wrong and will use every endeavor to pro tect American citizens residing In Turkey. He a! ho discussed the conditions of the In surrection In Turkey and said that the Turkish government was not responsible for any of the disasters that had occurred. Secretary Hay's call upon Acting Secre tary Darling was for the purpose of ascer taining the whereabouts of the European squadron and also what Its orders are. There is no Intention of changing any or ders at present, especially an the ships can not be reached) until they arrive at Beyroot. No messages of importance have been re ceived from Mlnlstr Lelschman today. Heports Da Not Agree. Iate dlnpatohea from Minister Leishman give In detail the conditions in Turkey and do not differ materially In tone from those previously sent. Minister Leishman does not, aa reported In some quarters, request the withdrawal of the American ships from Turkish waters. While 'reports by way of London state that no attempt waa made upon the Ufe of Vice Consul Magelssen official advices so far received show that such an attempt was made. The present status was known before the ships left Genoa and this gov ernment did not decide to change the orders. It is now stated, however that should there be a calm and peaceful condition at Bevrorit when' the .ships arrive there the rnatter of sending them to another point ill be considered and possibly adopted. The Turkish minister made no - request tipon Secretary Hay at the Interview to day regarding the movement of United Btate war vessels and nothing on this matter was promised by the State depart ment. In one of the dispatches from Minister Irishman he refers to the question of the trial of one of the teachers In one of the missions at Harpoot and the minister In formed the department that he can se nothing Irregular In the trial, but at the request of the missionaries he Is seeing to It that no Injustice Is done. The man Was arrested charged with sedition. An la formal Representative. Some question has been raised aa to whether Chekib Bey la an actual minister of Turkey, because his . credentials have ' not been presented and he has not yet been officially received as minister by the presl dent. No point la made by the State de partment on this account and Becretary Hay considers Ctyekib Bey as the minister of Turkey to the United States. The pre senting of the credentials Is a mere for mality, as the State department Is aware that the minister has been duly accred ited by bis government and has his ere denUals with him. It Is said at the Navy department today - that although there are two colliers ' now In Turkish waters, Brutus and Alexander, , there will probably be no necessity tor holding them In order to supply the Euro pean squadron with ooal. All three of the ships have their bunkers filled, and It .was said that this supply would last them tor some time; but should any emergency arise requiring the warships to coal quickly they can do so at a number of Mediterranean porta where the govern tnent has contracts with dealers.

There Is no question that large numbers of Insurgents have recently crossed the frontier. An extensive outbreak In north ern Macedonia Is possible any day. The Autonomic prints a telegram from Con stantinople declaring that the sultan, in fluenced by the counsels of Germany, now favors a war with Bulgaria. The Turks here, however, tske an optlmlstlo view, asserting that there Is no danger of a war, as Turkey does not desire one and Prince Ferdinand and the present Bul garian government are not In a position to force hostilities. The Bulgarian agent at Uskub reports that the detachments of Turkish troops sent to garrison the small towns In thst vilayet have spread destruction along their route; the villagers have been robbed and beaten, the women violated and the Chris tian population subjected to every con celvable outrage, while the local author ities appear to be helpless to stop the atrocities. At the village of Dracheve, six miles from Uskub. the soldiers attackel all the peasants without the Interference of the gendarmes. The Bulgarian agent specifies similar excesses In many other villages and the position of the Bulgarian residents Is reported to be terrible, as the cruelties committed by the Turkish au thorities exceeded all limits.

WIND IS TOO LIGHT Fourth Eioe Between Reliance and Shim rook III Results in a riuko. DEFENDER SETS PACE AT START American Boat Takei Lead and Holds the Place to the End. START CONTEST IN VERY HEAVY SWELL Weather it Thought to Be More Favorable t- English Craft. HIGH SEA CAUSED LACK OF INTEREST Both of the Boata Were Mark Delayed la the Morning aad the tea test Began at a Late Hoar. Time af Race, Outer Mark. Finish. S:00:S7 Race 3:21:00 called off Reliance Shamrock III. NEW TORK, Aug. 81. Agsln today the beautiful cup defender Reliance failed to reKlater Its third victory over Llpton's challenger because the wind died to nothing and the time limit of five and a half hours expired before it could reach the finish line. Its margin was approximately the same as on Thursday last. It wss less than half a mile from the finish when the gun sounded. Shamrock III waa a faint blur on the horlson, fully two and a half miles astern. Reliance's failure to score the race was the more exasperating because Its ulti mate triumph Is now conceded even bv Sir Thomas himself to be. simply a formality. The superiority of the Herreshoft bost In any kind of weather is acknowledged by the yachting critics of both sides of the Atlantic and today's fluke only prolongs the agony of the contest thst has already been decided. The waning Interest In the cup rsces was strikingly Illustrated by the sixo of the observation fleet. If the crowd which went down to the ocean course to day could be dignified by such a title. Out side of tbe revenue cutters which patroled the course if consisted of half a dosen slde-wheelers with almost empty decks, a few seagoing tugs and a score of steam yachts. Race la Roagh Sea. The easterly wind and rain last night hsd served to knock 'down the sea some what, although It was rough enough the first two hours of the race to make the excursion boats tumblo about a good deal and the yachts to plunge and stagger on tneir way to the outer mark. But as the day wore on the wind hauled to the north and fell to a mere tephyr, hardly strong enough to round out the enormous can vasses of the sloops, and the sea subsided to a smooth surface. The race was spiritless from tha begin ning. It waa laid fifteen miles to wlndwsrd up the long Island shore and retdVn. lu saving feature waa the alert. In which Captain Wrings, by a- pretty plots of ma neuvering, neatly turned the tables on the Yankee skipper and captured the windward berth. Even so, tha yachts crossed the line abreast like a harnessed team of horses. Shamrock's Worst Defeat.' But within fifteen minutes the defender waa showing Its heels to the challenger, and when the float at the outer mark was reached Reliance rounded It twenty min utes and twenty-three seconds ahead of Its rival. In the five times the boats bava met this was by far the worst beating Shamrock III has had In windward work. The Interest after that was as to whether Reliance would be able to reach tha finish line In time to score the race. The racers waited about Sandy Hook lightship until 10:4S, when Navigator sig nalled that the starting line would be shifted and tha race postponed until later In the day. After running five, miles south from tbe lightship Navigator signalled a windward and leeward course. From east northeast a five-knot wind was blowing. The easterly gala had left a long, heavy sea running and as the yachts jockeyed about the starting line they lifted their long bows high out of the water on top of the awell and pounded the sea Into a froth. Captala Wrings Wins Point. For the first time In the series Captain Wringe of Shamrock III cleverly out-gen-eraled the redoubtable Captain Barr In the preliminary jockeying. Five minutea before the atart Captain Barr held the windward berth, then both ran away from the line. Shamrock leading. Two minutes before the starting gun Shamrock headed up into the wind, tacked, forced Reliance to do the same, and both ran for the line, Reliance leading. They reached it before the start ing gun and Reliance bad to run along Jthe lee side of It to await the gun. Shamrock reached the line as the gun sounded, and not having to sheer off, secured the weather position. It was a trick which Captain Barr had worked often but never with belter flnenes or more satisfactory results. The official starting time of both yachts was 11:46:36. The first tack, five minutes after cross ing the line, put Shamrock III ahead, but under the lee bow of Reliance. Captain Wringe gave his boat a good full and the way It began to walk away from the de fender made It look aa though It had found Itself at last. But thla wss for only a few minutes. When he began to pinch Into the wind It was apparent that Re liance was outpointing the challenger and altogether making better work 'of it. They held on one tack, east, southeast, for nearly an hour. During that time the defender worked up to windward, a good quarter of a mile. When Reliance tacked Bhamrock III refused to follow, so Barr put his crsft on ths port tsck again. This placed Reliance a mile north of Kharorck III. Wlad Helpa Reliance. Fifteen minutes later the wind suddenly shifted to the northeast and placed tha American boat that distance dead to wind ward, not half of which it had actually earned. From that time Reliance galnel steadily. The ytcbts could now head within two polnUi -of their course. They held the tack for twenty minutes and then made short hitches In which Reliance steadily got the better of It. When off Long Beach at 1:45, the defender waa two miles ahead, having added the second mile by literally outpointing the challenger and at the same time maintaining equal speed. The mark was then In plain view and the wind was softening. After a long board of shore. Rellsnce made seversl short hitches whlcli brought It to the turn. The challenger's cause was absolutely hopelees when ths defender rounded the mark, Tbe British beat waa mora laaa Start. ll:tt:L 11::M
