SECRETARY GRESHAM
Demands Reparation From the Turkish
Government for tho Outrage on Amer.

Demands Reparatton From the Turkish
Government for the Outrage on Amer.
lean Citizens at Marsovan.
WASHINGTON, April s.-The United
States has taken vigorous action in re-
gard to the outrages on American citi'
zens In the Turkish dominions at Mar
sovan, and the violation of the mails OF
the United States legation. The facts
Of the case are as follows:
On the 10th OF January last number
Of seditious placards were distributed
throughout the region Of Marsovan and
Cesarea, in the center OF Asia Minor.
On account of alleged seditious move
ments existing among tho Armenians
the Turkish authorities ascribed the au-
thorship Of these placards to the stu
dents Of Anotoba College and main edu-
cational institution of Marsovan.
On the night Of the I'd of February
the girls seminary Of this institution
was fred and burned to the ground.
There was strong circumstantial evil
dence to show that this was done with
the full knowledge, II not by the direct
oct OF Turkish officials
The condition OF Americans In that
place became so critical that United
States consul, Milo A. Jewett was dis
patched thither from Sivas, and the
Americans in that district have been
under his protection ever since. Dis.
patches passing between Minister
Thompson and Consul Jewett at Mar
sovan have been repeatedly violated
and formal complaint of this fact has
been made by the American minister tc
the sublime Porte.
Demands for redress made to the
Turkish authorities were met by coun
ter demands on their side that the al
legged sedition movements of the Amer
lean students should first be in
vestigated and determined upon befor'
any efforts were made to discover thu
perpetrators Of the outrage complained
! OF.
, Secretary Gresham has cabled t.
Minister Thompson, at Constantinople
strong expression of the president
views on the outrage, and demanding
. not only prompt reparation for tn
burned seminary, but punishment o
' all parties found guilty in the matter
Minister Thompson is instructed tina
no alleged prior acts Of students are t
affect the rights OF this government il
the matter.
;, Minister Thompson is charged to Civ
. renewed attention to the matter and
dispatch special messenger, 1t nece
sary, to Consul Jewett and see to tn
i inviolability of official correspondence
The minister is to act promptly and az
: wise the department by cable No e
. fort is to be relaxed in securing IL
legal rights of our citizens in Turkey.
1t is understood to be the policy
the United States to make this Ma
ls sovan incident test case in our rel
tions with Turkey.
II There are at the present time mo
le than two hundred American citizens I
siding in the Turkish empire, who ha
,e the management of property to t
i. value of over 100000.

DELAWARE, O., April Sat about 8

then started for the burning building.
They broke in the doors and immedi'
