PORTE PROOF AGAINST EFFORTS OF LEISHMANN Attempts of Minister to Prevent Dis- crimination Against Americans in | Turkey Blocked by Official. ‘WASHINGTON, June 30. — Minister Leishmann has encountered a singular and disagreeable reluctance on the part of the Porte to enter into nego- tiations looking to the removal of dis- crimination against American citizens, professional and business men, in Turkey. Citizens of European powers are permitted all sorts of privileges that are denied to American citizens, and for three or four years past our State Department, through its Minister, has vainly striven to remove this dis- crimination. The characteristic Turkish method of blocking the attempts at negotiations is a declination to accede to the request of the State Department that the Turkish mission in Washington be elevated to the rank of an embassy so that Minister Leishmann at Con- stantinople might attain similar rank and thus be able, personally, to ap- proach the Sultan. Being kept in his grade as a Minister, he \s prevented from reaching that personage, and finds it almost impossible to do busi- ness through the Porte. The State De- partment is determined that this dis- crimination shall cease, although it hopes that it will not be necessary for the battleship squadron, combined with the European squadron, to repair to Turkish waters. —_———— TWO ARE KILLED AND SIX INJURED AT FIERCE FIRE Flames Destroy Building in Cleveland and Bring Death and Suffering to Working People.
