TURKISH RESENTMENT
Speculation on the Rumored Recall Of
Mavroyeni Bey.
Minister Terrell, With Sixty Days
Leave of Absence, IL Supposed
to Be ON the Way Home.

There were no new developments at this
end of the line today with respect to the
alleged purpose Of the Turkish government
to break off diplomatic relations with the
United States, as a consequence of the ac-
tion Of the American Congress in the Ar
menian affair. Notwithstanding the appar-
emily official advices from Constantinople
of the recall Of Mavroyeni Bey, the Turkish
minister here, it is said that neither the
Secretary of State nor the Turkish minister
has as yet received any Information on the
subject. either of a corroborative or con-
Trajectory nature.
Minister Mavroyeni has cabled to Con-
stantinople for Information on the subject,
and is now awaiting a reply. He scouts the
lnsinuation made in the American press
that he has been remiss in his duty in the
Armenian affair. and says he has discharg-
ed his full duty in that matter, employing
all the agencies common to diplomatic
usage to have his government properly rep
resented in the matter. and to keep the
American government and its people
promptly advised as to the actual state of
affairs in Armenia.
1t is said that Mavroyeni's recall is
based on his governments displeasure

that he will not make an attack upon the
capital of the republic unless he can feel
HAT failure would be out of the question.
He is fully aware uf the fact that Spain's
imissaries in Washington have harped
budest on the theme that the rebel capital
" government was in the saddle, and that
recognition of such wild-goose authority
vas simply too ridiculous for serious ma
lion, like the United States to consider.
Despite Minister de Lome's statements to
The effect that there existed no rebel capi-
tai, and that the officers Of the so-called
government were constantly fleeing from
pne place to another, keeping behind the
armies Of Gomez and Maceo, and always in
nanger of being gobbled up and bundled off
TO Moro Castle, it is known here that the
burden Of De Lcme's messages Of late to the
saptain general has been the urging of an
attack upon Cubitas. He has been careful,
tkough, to warn Weyler against the possi-
bility of a failure in any sucn movement,
realizing the tremendous moral effect of
aefeat to Spanish arms while endeavoring
10 take the republican executive headquar-
fers, which, according to De Lome's own
ytatement, has not established itself in any
1ne place for more than a few hours at a
Eme.
Urged to Work Secretly.
De LONE has also strongly urged that
while determined effort should at once be
made to capture the head offices Of the
rebel government, the preparations for the
attack should be conducted as quietly as
possible, that too much importance may
sot be attached to the move lay the WASH
hgton authorities.
With the latter idea as a guiding one,
large force of troops is being concentrated
N the vicinity of Puerto Principe, which is
6cated at a distance Of about twenty-four
miles from Cuban headquarters. There are
40 rebel bands In that section Of the island,
md for several months the entire province
f Camaguey, of which Puerto Principe Is
The capital, has been almost as free from
karlike disturbances as any American
Jtate.
1t is over six months since the civil
branch of the Cuban government was es-
tablished at Cubitas mountain. 1t had for
nerly been stationed in the Sierra Maestro
range, in the far eastern end of the island,
md still later was located near Las Tunas,

lers, to be in closer touch with the leaders

with his MANAGEMENT of that diplomatic
incident at Washington. particularly his
failure to counteract the sentiment of the
people of the United States adverse to the
porte. His government holds, it is said
that the full exercise of the duties of his
diplomatic office might have influenced
legislative branch OF the government, and
IL it could not prevent. might at least have
delayed. the adoption of the Armenian res
olutions rejecting upon the Turkish gov
ernment.
May Mean n Promotion.
1t cannot be learned whether this action
on the part of the Turkish government i'm
plies a desire to sever diplomatic relations
with the United States. or whether it
simply means that Mavroyeni Bey Is to be
transferred to another post In order to
make a change in the ministry at Wash
partment who will say anything at all about
the case are inclined to the belief that IL
Mavroyeni is to be recalled, 1t Is merely
for the purpose of promotion or to have
new representative here. There is gen.
eral disinclination to believe that the porte
has a sufficient cause of grievance against
the United States to justify the severance
Of diplomatic relations, especially at this
juncture, when there are so many QueS-
tons of Importance in process Of negotia-
ton between. the two countries.
There is a popular r Impression that Mr.;
turkey, is now on his way home from
Constantinople. 1t might be supposed that
the officials of the State Department would
have Information on that subject, but such
is not the case, that is, If those VINO were
approached on the subject today told the
truth. They are high officials of the de-
partment and would naturally be pre-
sumed to know such thincs. AS q fact,
however, q Star reporter, who applied to
them for Information on the subject, could
not get them to say whether Mr.. Terrell
is or is not at Constantinople or whether
he had or had not been granted leave Of
absence.
Minister Terrell Coming Home.
Notwithstanding this unusual and excess
sive display of alleged diplomacy. there is
reason to believe that Mr.. Terrell was
granted sixty days leave of absence sew
eral weeks ago, and that he is now Well on
his way home. It is reported that he was
in London several days ago, and it is pre-
| sumed that ne has since started across the
Atlantic His departure was perfectly reg
ular, and was in no wise due to any differ
ences official cr personal, with the Turkish
authorities. What differences exist, IL any,
originated since Minister Terrell left the
scene, and he must necessarily be i'll lg-
nOrance Of them.
In the unexpected event that the Turkish
government should close its legation in
for the United States to close its legation
in Constantfnople. and in that case Min
lister Terrell would not return to his post.
certainly not until the porte indicated a
desire to resume friendly diplomatic inter-
course with the United States. 1t Is ex-
pected that the complicated matter will
be cleared up in few days.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
HAVANA, March "a, 1896
While the American Senate is discussing
the question as to whether the Cuban re-
public has an established seat of govern
ment, Captain General Weyler is quietly
laying plans looking to the capture of the
retel capital. OF course, the matter is not
discussed generally, even among the better
Informed of Spanish government officials,
but an officer of the general staff who was,
and still is, firm friend of Gen. Campos,
vouches for the information that an at
tempt will soon be made to drive President
Cisneros and his cabinet from their strong
hold the eloud-surrounded summit Of
Cubitas. However, Weyler is proceeding
with great caution, and it is safe to say

CHICAGO'S TRUNK MYSTERY.
Reasons Why 1t Ii Thought the
Corpse is That of Chaseal.


CHICAGO, March 2S.-Devere and Mar
tel who think they have identified the body
named Chaseal, told the morgue keeper
that Chaseal had peculiar deformity in
the abdomen, and that by it they would be
able to identify the body. They were not
able to find the deformity, owing to the
condition Of the corpse, but the presence Of
a truss in the box gives some color to their
belief that the body is that of Chaseal
They said too, that their friend had very
poor teeth, and some of his molars were
filled with peculiar composition, in which
steel was large factor. They did not see
any Of the teeth last night, but will inspect
them today. The main thing on which
they base their opinion that the corpse is
ttat of their. friend is that the date on
which the Shipment of the box was made
from Salt Lake City corresponds with the
time Of Chasears disappearance.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 2S-Adviccs
from Seoul, Corea, are to the effect that
the American munster has frequently ad-

spite this advice, the latter actively Set
about the task of arrsssing those regarded
as the parisans of Tai Won Jun and of
Japan. and was going TO execute eight ,nen
who had been arrested.
Thereupon the American minister so
strenuously objected to these measures that
he declared he would pull down his flag
and withdraw from the country unless
those prosecuted We're more lcniently
treated.
The cabinet was formed to suspend ac-
tion, and the eight prisoners are likely
to be spared their lives.

THE STATE OR THE COUNTY?
A Convict Becomes Insane and Is Re-
moved to an Asylum Which
Must Pay His Board?

SEDALIA, Mo-, Jan. 20.-The cele-
brated Blessing case has reached the
courts at last, and the result will be
awaited with interest by every county
in Missouri. Joseph Harper, treas
urer of State Lunatic Asylum No. 3,
at Nevada, brought suit yesterday in
the Circuit Court against Pettis coun-
ty for $500. 20, the amount due the
asylum for the board of one Charles
Blessing. Blessing, who was a stranger,
in 1888, attempted to kill a police Off
Ger. He was convicted and sent to
the penitentiary for a term of 10
years. On August 1, 1898, Blessing
having become insane, the Governor
ordered him to be sent to the asylum
at Nevada, to be kept there until his
reason was restored. The plaintiff
claims that Blessing is still insane and
that Pettis county is liable for his
board, on the ground that the insane
man is a citizen of Pettis county. The
defense is that Blessing is not now
and never was a citizen OF this coun-
ty, and that after having been con-
yicted of a crime and sentenced to
the penitentiary, he passed into the
care OF the state, and Pettis county
has no more right to pay his board in
the asylum than it would at the States
