It is Special D | believed that final orders to Rear Admiral Cotton were formulated that the . Secretary- of the Navy was requested to transmit | them to him. It is adniitted in diplomatic cir- cles that unless ‘Turkey makes the most abject apology and gives the safest kind of guaran- tees for indemnities the United States warships will be obliged to invest Turkish ports. The opinion is changing from Beirut as the proper place to - make the de- |mands to Smyrna, a. more im- | portant city. Officials of the Unjted States Governnent believe that the only substantial preventive of trouble of a serious kind which may or later involve the United States in - war, not only with Turkey: but with -Turkey European friends, is the removal | of the Turkish capital beyond the | Bosphorus. DIPLOMAT SEES HAY. Chekib Bey, the_ Turkish Min- ister, had a long interview with Secretary Hay. He refused to discuss the interview, stating that | he had nothing to communicate fuither than what appeared in the dispatches yesterday morning. If the Turkish Minister re- quested that the European squadron be kept away from Turkish waters-his request prob- ably cannot be° granted, even should this Government ‘desire to accede to it, as the Navy Depart- ment states that it will be im- possible to communicate with the Brooklyn and San Francisco until they arrive at- Beirut. Chekib Bey assured Secretary Hay that the Turkish Govern- ment- had done nething wrong . and will -use every endeavor to protect American citizens resid- ing in Turkey. He also discussed the conditions of the insurrection in Turkey and said that the Turk- ish Government was not respon- sible for any of the disasters that had occurred. Late dispatches from Minister Leishman give in detail the condi- tions in Turkey and do not differ materially in tone from those pre- viously sent. Minister Leishman does not, as reported in some quarters, request the withdrawal of the American ships from Turk- ish waters. GENOA, Aug. 31.—The gun- boat Machias sailed hence for Port Said Saturday evening. She will coal there and then proceed for Beirut.
