It is rumored that the Turkish Admiral left Amer
ica greatly disappointed in bis calculations This is
true, as he himself stated to member of the Cabinet
while here. His Government had been induced to

the United States would contract for the building of
ship-of-war for the Turkish navy These reDre-
sentations alone brought the Turkish Admiral to cur
