A WarIiISe story.
CHICAGO, Jan. A dispatch to the
Times-heral this morning says: War
SHIPS nylng the stars and stripes, and
manned by American blue jackets, may
force the passage OF the Dardeneles and
Bosphorus, anchor at Constan;inople, and
show the Sultan that Uncle Sam not TO
be trihed with. 1t transpired to-day that
the BospnOruS Is likely TO be the destination
of the North Atlantic squadron Of American
battle ships instead of the Caribbean sea.
According 10 the plan arranged By Secre-
tary Herbert and Admiral Bunce, the
squadron should have sailed from Hamp-
ton Roads for st. Thomas Dec q. Though
every ship was ready for sea on that date.
| the fleet of seven vessels has been held
| for some reason which the Secretary of the
| Navy has declined to reveal and which the
| officers OF the fleet have not known. 1t is
now stated that Admiral Bunce, when he
visited Washington Dec. -. was given
sealed instructions which postponed the
| southern cruise, pending certain develop
| 1 H.
ern waters may be abandoned altogether
and the vessels may set sail for the Med
| iterranean at almost any hour.
| The government proposes, unless Turkey
responds promptly to the demands for $780,
| 600 indemnity, made on account OF the Har-
/ pOOt and MaraSh outrages, to make
| naval representation that will bring the
| Sultan TO time. In its previous experience
| with Turkey the government has found that
| the Sultan does not respond to such de-
| nands easily. This Is a case where the
! dignity and prestige of the United states is
| believed TO be at stake and the Sultan will
| not be permitted to practice his customary
| evasion and deceit. The American ships
now in the Turkish waters are the Marble
| head, at Mersine to-day, and the san Fran
| cisco and the Minneapolis, in the vicinity OF
| Alexandrette. They are under command of
Admiral Selfridge, aboard the San Francis
| co. Minister Terrell, at ConStantinople, and
| Admiral Seifridge, at Alexandrette, have
been in almost daily communication by
cable with Secretary Olney and Secretary
| sultation yesterday with the President about
the situation in Turkey.
| On Dec. is a cablegram was received at
the State Department from Constantinople,
which Secretary Olney sent in substance to
| the Senate. He said: Minister Terrell ex-
presses the gravest apprehensions concern
ing the ultimate fa1es1 American citizens
in the disturbed region unless the appalling
massacres can be stopped by the united eff
forts of the Christian powers. He sees no
hope, however, of European concert TO
| that end. He says that if the missionaries
wish to leave Turkey he can procure them
| o. toffn sn,-ct . ,o
men wish TO remain he can get escort for
all to the sea coast. whereupon the men
can return; but. he adds. that women and
children should quit Turkey"
Three weeks ago message was received
at the Navy Department from Admiral
| Sefridge, stating his inability 10 carry out
him. This first suggested to Secretary Her
| bert the wisdom of sending more vessels to
! Turkey. When Minister Terrell filed his
demand for indemnities. for the Harpoot
and Marash outrage the GOODNESS with which
they were received by the Sultan's ministers
willingly complied with, and this proved still
further the Importance of an enlarged naval
force.
