ABOUT FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

Tho situation IA Turkey Reviewed. and
Attention Called 10 Certain Impossi-
buitie~
At the outset Of a reference to the
more important matters affecting our
relations with foreign powers, it would
afford me satisfaction if | could assure
the Congress that the disturbed condi-
ton in Asiatic Turkey had, during the
mast wear. assumed a less hideOus and
bloody aspect and that either as con-
sequence of the awakening of the Iur-
kish government TO the demands Of
humane civilization, or as the result Of
decisive action on the part of the great
nations having the right by treaty to
interfere for the protection OF those
exDosed 10 the rage of mad bigOtry and
cruel fanaticism. the shocking features
of the situation had been mitigated.
Instead. however, of welcoming soft

veDti0n. we have been afflicted by con-
tinued and not unfrequent reports Of
the wantOn destruction Of homes and
the bloody butchery Of men, women
and children. made martyrs TO their
profession Of Christian faith.
While none Of our citizens IN Turkey
have thus far been killed or wounded.
though often in the midst Of dreadful
scenes Of danger, their safety in the
future is by no means assured. Our
government AT home and our minister
al Constantinople have left nothing
undone TO protect our missionaries in
Ottoman territory. who constitute
nearly all the individuals residing
there who have a right to claim our
protection on the score OF American
citizenship.
Our Efforts in this direction will not
be relaxed: but the deep feeling and
svmrqthy that have been aroused
among our people ought not 10 so far
blind their reason and Judgment as to
lead them 10 demand impossible things.
The outbreaks of blind fury which lead
to murder and pillage in Turkey occur
suddenly and without notice. and an
attempt on our part to force such a
hostile presence there as might be ef-
fective for prevention or protection
would not only be resisted by the Otto
man government but would be regard
ed as an interruption Of their plans by
the great nations who assert their ex-

Washington, D. c., December T.
The Presidents message to Congress,
delivered to-day, was as follows:
To the Congress of the United States:
As representatives of the people
in the legislative branch of their
government, you have assembled
at time when the strength and excel
lence Of our free institutions and the
fitness of our citizens to enjoy popular
rule have been again made manifest.
A political contest involving moment
GUS consequences, fraught with feyerish
apprehension, and creating aggressive
ness so intense as to approach bitter
ness and passion, has been waged
throughout our land, and determined
bv the decree of free and independent
suffrage. without disturbance Of our
tranquility or the least sign Of weak
ness in our national structure. When
we consider these incidents and con-
template the peaceful obedience and
manly ysubmission which have succeeded
by aheated clashof political opponents,
we discover abundant evidence Of de-
termination on the part of our coun-
trymen to abide by every verdict Of the
popular will, and to be controlled at all
times by an abiding faith in the agen-
cies established for the direction Of the
affairs of the government. Thus our
people exhibit a patriotic disposition
which entities them to demand of those
who undertake to make and execute
their laws such faithful and unseliish
service in their behalf as can only be
prompted by a serious application Of
the trust and confidence which the ac-
ceptance of public duty invites.
In obedience to a constitutional re-
quirement. herein submit to the Con-
gress certain information concerning
National affairs with the suggestion Of
such legislation as in my Judgment is
necessary and expedient. To secure
brevity and avoid tiresome narration,
l shall omit many details concerning
matters within Federal control. which.
tborob Lv no means uufmuortaut. are
more prodtably discussed In depart
mental reports ] shall also further
curtai this communication 1y omit
ting minute recital of many minor
incidents connected with our foreign
relations which have heretofore found
a place in executive messages. but are
now contained in q report of the Sec
retary of State, which is herewith SUBJ

of the Cuban portion of the message:

SECRETARY 0LNEY
Makes a Rather FOrcible Statement
Of the Situation in Cuba--A Re-
port Accompanying the Presidents
Message.

WASHINGTON, December For the
first time within memory of old officials
the Secretary Of State has made a resu-
lar report to the President for transmits
sion to Congress. like the reports of other
officers Of the Cabinet. This report was
laid before Congress to-day as an ap-
pondlx to the Presidents message. It
treats Of many details of our relations
during the past year with foreign govern
ments that either We're not touched upon
at all in the message or were more briefly
treated.
Under the head Of Spain. Secretary o.
ney has much TO say i'm reference to Cuba
and in his report he sets out i'm great de-
tail the history of the growth of the re-
bellion: the present evil state of affairs
on the island, and other facts upon which
the President bases his broad statements
and conclusions.
10 reference is made TO n report from
Consul General Lee but the Secretary in
timates that his information comes prin-
cipally from the L. S. Consuls and so
must be regarded as confidential as TO its
source. The Secrctary's estimate of the
pr, -ent situation is disclosed in the fol-
10 ng paragraph under "a preliminary
stlrcmeut OF the destruction OF he indus
trial resources of Cuba:
From whatever point OF view we regard
the matter. il is impossible not to discern
