The American Minister immediaiely trought the crime to the atten- tion of the Geverument and demanded action by Turkey. Acting Secretary Loomis to-day cabled Minister Leishman insptructing him to demand the immediate arrest and punishment of the persons guilty of the murder. No demand for money in behalf of the man’s family was made. Admiral Cotton, commanding the European squadron, has been cabled by the Navy Department to have his vessels in readiness to move to Beirut, which is on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea, in case the demands of the United States Government upon the Turkish Govern- ment are not complied with. “THESE VESSELS AVAILABLE, IThe Brooklyn and the San Francisco are at Villefranche and the Machias is at Genoa. Mage!ssen, who is a Scandinavian, was appointed Vice-Consul at Beirut Bept. 20, 1899, by Consul Gabriel Bie Ravudal, who is of the same national- ity. At the time of his appointment as a Vice-Consul he was a consular clerk in Tu;key. Magelssen was appointed on the recommendation of Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, who says that he was the son of a promi- nent Lutheran minister. He was born in Bratsburg, Filmore County, Minnesota, He was appointed to the Consular Service in 1897 and had served as ®onsular clerk in various Consulates in the Levant since that time. He had a fal: command of the Levanite languages. At the time of his death he was in business in Beirut, the terms of his employment being such as ‘to-permit him to engage in business, as the position he held did not carry @alary enough to warrant the Government in restricting his endeavors to Consular affairs. Minister Leishman’s cablegram was dated yesterday and stated that € acsassination occurred Sunday, the Minister being Informed of the crime by Consul Ravudal. The Consul stated that the murderer was not! Been and is not known, CAUSE OF THE ASSASSINATION UNKNOWN. Tha announcement of the assassination of the American Vice-Consul, following so soon upon the assassination of a Russian Consul in Turkey, createc strong comment in official circles, end the suggestion was made that such frequent assassinations indicate a very disturbed condition of} effairs in the Turkish dominjons, Minister Leishman gave no particulars of the assassination, and the State Department has no information as to the cause of the murder. The American Government will insist that the local nuthoudties be punished If they were dere‘ict in their duties, and that full measure of punishment be given the actual perpetrators of the out- Tage. Beirut is a city on the Eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea and is ® place of considerable commercial importance. It is probable that the action of the Turkish Government and the conditions existing at Belrun will determine whether or not the European squadron is to be sent to Wurkish waters, Unless the Turkish Government acts promptly upon the demands made by the United States Government it is expected that the in His!

HIGHLANDS OF NAVESINK, Aug. 27. With Reliance only a quarter of a mile from.the finish line the third of the series of races for the America’s cup, was declared off this afternoon and must be sailed over againé on Saturday. The wind died down utterly and for nearly an hour before the expiration of the time limit—4.32—it was a questlon whether Reliance could get in. Capt. Barr clapped «lon all sail and made every effort, but he could not get a move. He crossed the line at 4.38.30. Shamrock was more than two miles behind at the fin- ish. At no stage of the race did she have a chance. Not even from the start, when she crossed after the handicap gun was fired, to the finish. Reliance drifted faster, footed faster and pointed higher. The challenger did not cross the line. and was towed to her moorings. To-day's contest makes the result of Saturday’s race a foregone conclusion, barring accidents or miracles, and itis as certain, as anything not already accomplished can be that the Cup will not be “lifted.” 5 RELIANCE LED ROUND THE MARK. Reliance led around the outer mark in wonderfully quick time, com sidering the wind. The fifteen miles from the lightship to the mark were covered in & bewildering series of twists and turns and angles, with the American boat always in the weather and increasing the distance between herself and the challenger. The breeze was light but fairly steady. The advantage of Reliance in the start, which almost wiped out the time allowance, was gained upon with every mile travelled, although Sir Thomas Lipton's boat sailed well Oceasion«! showers caused the wind to drop, and then clearing weae ther would freshen it again. Two hours after the start Reliance had a clear lead of eight minutes. WARM FIGHT AT THE START, ‘The fight for position at the start was very keen in the light air, en@ was entirely in favor of the American boat. Four minutes before the start ing gun was fired Shamrock, being at a further distance to the south of the committes boat, headed back to the line. Reliance held away for about a minute and then started after her. The great sail spread of Reliance enabled Capt. Barr to completely: blanket Shamrock, and from this position Capt. Wringe was unable te extricate hix boat, Capt, Wringe, however, was able to prevent Reliangs She lowered sail getting down into position on the leeward side of the line, and beth boats, when the slarting gun was fired, were on the windward side, heading over coward the lightship. Reliance then pulled by Shamrock and rounding ihe lightship headed for the Ine on the port tack. In the meantime the handicap signal had been fired and Reliance, come ng slowly for the line, crossed it about a minute loter, Shamrteley was more than a minute astern of the American boat and had a handigag | | of two minutes and five seconds, For a boat that needed all the possible time she could get Sham It was the worst start: Both yachts crossed the line on the port tack, but a few minutes \\ poentanued on Third Page ,
