Mr. Leishman said he was seeking e point of | o riher details, and that he could | not explain the delay in transmis- sion of the news to Constantinople from Beirut. PRESIDENT IS ADVISED. Mr. Loomis at once sent a copy of this cablegram to President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay. Then he ¢abled to Mr. Leishman to de- mand of the Turkish Government a prompt investigation of the crime, the arrest and punishment ¢ . . | of the guilty, and to advise the State Department of the details of assassination as soon as possible. Mr. Magelssen, who was about 30 years old, a brother-in-law of Mr. Ravndal, was appointed Vice Consul at Beirut on September 20, 1899, prior to which time he had been consular clerk in Turkey. He was of Scandinavian descent, born in 1873 at Bratsburg, Fill- son of a Lutheran minister. He was a student at’the Lutheran College at Decorah, Towa, for three years. For a time he was assistant City Assessor of Sioux & | more County, Minn., and was the | FATHER i surt Morgen, | Falls, S. D., and was also asso-| iate editor of a paper called the Echo, published there. He was a man of more than | usual intelligence, with a record clear of any personal or official trouble which might be construed as a cause for any one to seek his life. He was appointed Vice Con- possession of | sul at the instance of Mr. Ravn-| dal, his brother-ip-law, who is from North Dakota, on the rec- ommendation of Senator Nelson | of Minnesota. | SQUADRON HAS ORDERS. | In order- that the European squadron, consisting of the cruis- ers Brooklyn (Captain Richard- son Clover commanding) and the Francisco (Captain Asa | Walker commanding), both now at Nice, and the gunboat Machias (Commander McCrea command- |ing), coaling at Genoa, Italy, San | might be prepared to back up the| demands for justice with a show of force in Turkish waters, Cap-| | tain W.

It would take the European squadron, of which the Brooklyn is the flagship, about six days to run from Nice to Bei- rut, which is on the Mediterra- st| nean coast of the Turkish prov-| ince of Syria. The outlook was made dis- tinctly worse about 4 o'clock this afternoon, when Mr. Loomis was | handed this telegram from the American Board of Missions in Joston : “The American Board of Mis- | sions is advised of-an attempt te |burn the buildings of the Eu- | phrates College at Harput, Tur- | key, where the conditions are n | growing critical.” A copy of this message was also |sent to President Roosevelt at { Oyster Bay. He has directed the State Department to have Mr. Leishman demand full reparation. This the department has already done. NO FEAR OF ALLIANCES. With no details as to the as- sassination or the attempt to burn the Euphrates College there is no definite basis for the prediction as to the political effect of these events.

Seven persons were killed and fif- teen were injured. Dynamite bombs were used. Every car was smashed. Appar- ently the outrage was the work of revo- lutionists who traveled on the ‘train, CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 21.—The bomb which wrecked the train near Ku- leli Burgas was thrown by a third class L e e ad ter of disturbance. The former United States Consul, Mr. Nor- ‘ton, had great difficulty in arriv- ing at his post there two years ago. Missionaries there have fre- quently before been in serious dif- ficulty. The United States policy in re- gard to these developments to the injury of American interests will be firm. But there will be no joint action with European powers. The United States Government will | demand that Turkey make due restitution by the punishment of the offenders and possibly by in- | demnity. When this is given the United States will withdraw its | hand. This Government will run [ no risks in becoming entangled in | any alliance, direct or indirect, | with any other power regarding Turkey. It will steer clear of all | coalitions of European powers. | @ imivimimimimimimimimii oo teoh @ DEFEND MONASTERY ‘ Bells Summon People to } Aid in Resisting ‘ Police. | THE PARIS, Aug. 27.—The expulsion of the Redemptorist Fathers from their mon- astery at Lese Sables, department of Vendee, was carried out to-day.

Carlos McCormick, the boy who is serving time for the murder of a com- panion, and a Mexican smuggler named Alvarado were captured by Sheriff Mur- phy near Hart's ranch. They were mak- ing rapid progress through the wocded section along along the Santa Cruz River | and would have been across the Mexican line in a few hours.

PITTSBURG, Aug. 21.—The third" sec- tion of the Barnum & Bailey circus train, composed almost entirely of sleepers for the performers, was wrecked at Wild- wood, Pa., on the Pittsburg and Western Rallroad, early to-day and a serious ac- cident was narrowly averted. As this sec- tion of the train was passing on the northbound track a freight train on the southbound track got beyond the control of the crew and came dashing down the grade. Just as the last of the sleepers | was almost clear the runaway train jumped the track and one car crashed |into the rear sleeper, damaging the car badly. The car had about forty people on board and they were rudely awakened from their sleep. Both tracks were blockaded for a num- ber of hours and the circus train went through, leaving the one car behind. The rformers in the damaged car were fur- mlhed with another car this morning and taken on to join the rest of the circus, —————— Californians in New York. NEW YORK, Aug. 27.—S8an Francisco—J. .

Foreign Office Says It Knows Noth- ing of the Murder. WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.—Acting Secre- tary mis to-night cabled Minister Leishman at Constantinople to make im- medlate demands on the Porte to take adequate measures for the protection of all Americans at Belrut and to prevent any attack on the college buildings. AdmiratTotton, who was directed to-day to proceed to Beirut, cabled the Navy De- partment as follows, under date of “Nice, France: “Cable just received. Machias at Genoa for coal. Brooklyn has seven days’, San Francisco six and a half days’ coal at ten knots. Cannot exceed that speed with Machias. If squadron going west should coal at Marsellles. If east at Genoa, “COTTON." Admiral Cotton's instructions are to sall at once. It is probable he will go ahead to Beirut with the Brooklyn, leaving the tion. TUnder the circumstances the State Department officials are inclined to beé- lieve that the Turkish Foreign Office is not in touch with the situation at Beirut. They do not attach sufficient importance to Minister Leishman's last message to cancel the order for the squadron to sall. Acting Secretary Darling and Captain Cowles of the Bureau of Navigation are in conference to-night. Acting under the instructions of the President that Ad- miral Cotton's squadron be directed to proceed immediately to Betrut, Mr. Dar- ling cabled to the admiral to this effect at Nice, directing him to go to Beirut at once. The President’s instructions on this point will be carried out to the letter. VBRI e ORDERS TO COTTON. Squadron Will Sail for the Nearest Port. WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.—Acting Secre- tary of the Navy Darling sent this cable- gram at 12:15 to-night to Rear Admiral Cotton at Nice: “Vice Consul at Beirut reported assas- sinated.

TURKS EXCEEDINGLY BITTER. Europeans Are in Very Great Danger of Massacre. LONDON, Aug. 28.—According to a dis- patch to the Dally Mail from Uskub, the Turks are very bitter toward the Euro- peans, belleving it to be thelr intention to drive the Turks out of Europe. The correspondent says he is convinced that any hostile action by any European power will be the signal for the massacre of every European in European Turkey. Another serious danger is the fear of a rising in Albania, where there are now only 10,000 Turkish troops left. PORTE IS INFORMED. Decision to Dispatch Squadron Is Known in Constantinople. LONDON, Aug. 2.—According to a dis- patch received here from Constantinople the Porte has been informed that the TUnited States Govetnment has declded to send a squadron to Turkish waters im- mediately to demand reparation for the murder of Willlam C. Magelssen, United States Vice Consul at Beirut, Syria, and the punishment of the assassin.

A demand that officials of the United States be afforded protection for their lives and property will be made, and the | Turkish Government will pe held respon- sible for the assassination of the Vice Consul, whatever may be the circum- stances. President Roosevelt is concerned over the situation as it is developed to-day, because it indicates an intolerable condi- tion of affairs in Turkey. He recalls the fact that only recently.a Russian Consul was murdered in Turkey. The European squadron is so situated that it will require several days for it to rendezvous at Beirut. Meantime the offi- clals of the State Department will be fully advised by Minister Leishman of the de- tails of the crime and the President will then be in a position to present to Turkey the demands of the United States with a naval force on the spot of sufficient strength to enforce them adequately.

Movement Is Directed|Against British and Russian Influences. —— BERLIN, Aug. 2.—The Christia. Orient, a German missionary paper pub- lished in Berlin, prints correspondence | from Teheran alleging that the leaders of the Persian Mohammedan Church have served notice on the Shah that unls¥s he purges the country of foreign religlous and commercial influences, especlally British and Russian, the church will pre- cipitate a revolution. The church leaders also demand that the Shah restore the religious and eco- nomic conditions which prevailed in Per- sla a century ago. The correspondent says the anti-foreign movement is not directed against the Germans, because the natives are convinced that Germany has no political intentions and they consider Turko-German friendship ¢o be a fore- runner of good feeling toward Germany throughout the Mohammedan world. g —_—————————— Brings Orchid Bulbs From Manila.
