The minlster’s report confirmed Informa- tion received by President Roosevelt and Becretary Hay from unofficial sources. For these reasons it was 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 rendezvous at Beyroot as originally ordered.

He would not disclose the contents of the cablegrams recelved last night from Min- Ister Lelshman, but sald 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 to 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 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, si Is Less Grave, The State department today received a cablegram from Minister Leishman. in which he stated that advices from the American consuls 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 the time of the sending the dlspatch as ‘grave us eatller ceports would indicate.

DEPARTMENTS LOCK HORNS Trouble i8 Brewing Between Beoretary Hitohosok and Treasury. FIGHT OVER AUDITING OF FUNDS Knotty Question® Ar Moneys Recelved from the of the Kiowa and Co- manche Lands. (From a Staft Correapondent.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.--(Special Tele- gram.)—Becretary Hitchcock and Robert 8. Person, auditor for the Interior depart- ment In the treasury, are at odds over the question to how the funds recelved from the sale of the Klowa and Comanche Indlan lands in Indian Territory shall be audited. For some time past a coldness has 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 ce of the secretary without the latter's knowledge. The secretary explained that this was necessary in order that all mat- ters of an official character should come under his own supervision. Auditor Per- #son, who has made a splendid record for himself, takes the high ground that the fund received from the sales of townsites in the Kiowa and Comanche country In In- dian Territory were subject to audit and were at all times under control of the Treasury department, knowing that’ the acts authorizing the sale of these townsites placed the actual sale in the hands of the secretary of the interfor. Mr. Pereon, as auditor of th funds and responsible for their proper distribution, states 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- sius of the Indian Rights association. The fact that the general land office audited the funds growing out of the sale of the townsites' mentioned and not an authorized officer of the government has created such friction that an iInteresting condition of af- fairs s promised. Itis a case where Treasury and Interior departments lock horns and it will be interesting to watch subsequent’ developments. Tonight Commissioner Richards of the general land office lesued a statement re- garding tiese townsite sales, explaining how certdin Incldental expenses were in- cutred and why the Interior department passed upon certaim expense accounts ren- dered by clerks In the employ of the In- terior department. = These expense ac- counts, in addition to the sums from wales of the townsite in question, were not pre- sented to the auditor of the Interfor dea partment of the treasury and constituté the bone of contention between the de- partments.

WABHINGTON, Aug. 20.—Emile Berliner, the inventor, has successfully tested a fiying machine, the principle employed be- ing that of the seroplane. The experiments #0 far have been conducted with a small machine which, unlike the Langley inven- tion, requires no extra device to start it. Two sky rockets attached to the rear of the model supplied the motive power. In the test made the Berliner aeroplane with- out the ald of any power not generated by itself, lifted and maintained f{tself for a ensiderable time in the air at a distance of eight feet from the ground. The model is capable of lifting while fiying a welght ot more than a gound for each square foot of horizontal space. The machine is con- structed of aluminum and nickle plate and has welght of thirty-four pounds excluding ballast. Its main body is made up of arches, open below and sloping down in the rear to wide tall ends. In moving forward the arches produce & current of compressed air, thus serving to support the structure. The wetual lifting is done by the tall pleced catching the alr currént. “The trials have been conducted by Mr. Befliner's son, Edgar, A report has been received at the Navy department from the commander of the navy yard at New York saying that an examination of the Massachusetts since she has been in dry dock shows that it will take $2,000 to repalr the damages which she recently sustained near Bar Harbor, Comptrollér Tracewell, in answer to Pub- lio Printer Palmer, has ruled that W. Mil- ler, the assistant foreman in the book bindery department of the office, whose case has attracted so much attention, Is not entitled to pay during the time of his absence from the printing office. Miller was absent sixty-three days and if the clalm had been valld there would be due him $357. The comptroller holds that Miller is not an dal of the govermment, but an employe, and rules that a prerequisite of his pay {s that he should be present and actually perform the labor required of him. It may be stated authoritively that for the | present this government will take no action regarding an Isthmian canal.

COLONISTS ARE DISAPPOINTED Refusal of Chamberlain to Antherize Emergency Loan Works Hard- ship in Jamaica. KINGSTON, Jamaica, Aug. 20.—Conster- nation was caused here this afternoon by the receipt of information that Colonial Secretary Chamberlain had refused to sanction the proposal of Governor Hemming to raise a loan of $2,600,00 to assist the ruined planters and provide rellef work for persons who are destitute and without em- ployment. Mr. Chamberlain says he fails to appreclate the necessity for such a step. This decision of the colonial secretary is a bitter disappointment to the planters and merchants of the colony, and the out- look is the reverse of reassuring, as with- out financial assistance many estates will remain uncultivated, and the withdrawal of money from circulation will paralyze trade.

General Strike of Walters. CHICAGO, Aug. M.—After a meeting of the striking waiters which was held to- night,. President Robert A. Callahan of the Hotel and Restaurant Employes' Ine ternational Alllance, declared that a gen- 4l strike of the walters had been callsd and that all the men in the city would be out on Monday. The call upplles only to walters In the restaurants and does not affect the hotels. “If they do not respond to thé call that has been made tonight,” sald Mr. Callahan, “none of them will ever again be able to work as unifon men In a resturant in the United States or Canada as long as they live." The call for a general strike ls generally regarded as the last straw that can be played by the local unfons. As the strike now ctands it is hopelessly ‘lost, because the great majority of the men will not obey the orders of the cfficlals to go on strike. They, for the most part, declare that the calling of the strike was fll-advised &nd have refused to obéy the order. Committees visited a large number of restaurants in the city today and made every effort to get the men to go out, but met with no Ruccess whatever. Colorado Smelter strike.
