Battle Ship Turxet Test.

The Navy Department has made a fur
ther test Of the representative battle ship
turret at Indian Head. This time the pur.
pose was not to try the plate. but to as
certain the displacing effect of heavy shot
upon the structure, with a view to making
sure that as mounted on shipboard it
would not be disabled by gunfire. r.
inch heeler-Sterling aymor piereer was
fired at the turret with velocity of 2OOD
feet per second. In this case the turret
was driven back by the shot four and a
half inches, and in going back 1t was lifted
twice bodily into the air. at first as much
as haif-inch off the roller paths. The
maximum velocity of the motion was
seven and half inches per second SO that
the ordnance officials regard it as certain
that the usual restraining devices will be
quite sufficient to insure the safety Of the
turret.

RefutinE British Arguments,

The Venezuela boundary commission has
received the second volume of translations
Of the archives of Seville, submitted by
Venezuela to overcome the contentious of
The British blue book. Mr.. William L.
Scruggs, Venezuelan counsel before the
commission, says these osiginal records es-
tablish beyond any contention that the
Spanish, through whom the Venezuelans
claim title, were in complete control of the
disputed territory, and that the Dutch,
through whom the English claim title, had
no settlements within the limits open to
dispute. The documents are regarded by
Mr.. Scruggs as complete refutation Of
the position taken IN the British blue book.

WHY The SULTAN OBJECTS.
Mavroyeni 8oy Explains Why They Dom. Want
Red Cross In Turkey

Washington, Jan. Mayroyeni Boy.
Turkish minister 10 the United States,
this afternoon, authorized the publication
of the following statement:
You ask me- he said, what | have
to say about the statement that the Red
Cross Society has decided not to pav any
attention to the communication until it is
officially transmitted by the Turkish gov
crnment or the Turkish minister. Ny
answer is very simple.
The Red Gross society has never com
munioated with this legation. 1t has only
communicated to my knowledge with the
press and the public, and its president,
Miss Clara Barton, assisting, without
prot est, at public meetings where the most
gross and unjust abuse was made OF the
Turkish government, religion and race
. As the Red Cross or any of Its repre-
sentativeS have never visited this legation,
it is clear that this legation has nothing to
communicate to said society. This lega-
tion sent It's communication to the press.
because it is the public that the Red Cross
took into its confidence. will always be
ready and pleased TO give to the Red Cross
Society any explanation it may think
proper to ask for.
'This whole question is Il question Of
right. Suppose, for one moment, that
your own Indians We're to revolt against
your legitimate authority. Suppose that
you put down that revolt and suppose that
in some foreign country some foreigners
were to calumDiate publicly your civiliza-
ton, your race and your religion.
Not satisfied with that, suppose those
foreigners, on the strength of such false
accusation. were to raise money and bring
it for distribution through their own
channels however respectable the latter
may be, 10 the very people that revolted
against your government Would that
money raised on hatred and denunciation
would even moral aid from foreigners, be
welcome to this great country of yours,
however welcome it might be, for obvious
reasons, to your indians?
AS you see, this whole question is very
clear. l wish you at the same time to
understand that, even today, notwith-
standing the contrary assurances of in
terested parties-the Turkish government
has no animosity whatever against the
