Rev. Judson Smith, secretary OF the Ameri-

Hyde, OF Boston, had a conference with Sec
retary olney concerning the situation OF
American missionaries in Turkish territory.
They were assured that II is the purpose OF
the administration to afford all possible pro-
lection to the missionaries consistent with the
general policy Of this government In such
matters. They were told that the Turkish
authorities had virtually promised to do all
that had been asked. It was agreed that
with the various European powers concen-
trating naval forces at Constantinople there
was no necessity for additional American
ships in Turkish waters at the present time.
The secretary made 1t quite clear, however,
that while the United States government
would do all In its power to protect Americans
In Turkey. 1t would not interfere In the set
tlement OF the general questions In dispute,
and would leave these matters to Turkey and
the combined powers OF Europe to settle
