going to do, his alleged sGpserters have
really done the opposite. His only hope
now rests in Sewall's defeat. If the Pop

gencies there is no other way to accord it
than by a naval demonstration. The Porte
takes the ground that only the signatories
to the treaty of Berlin have a right to
have guardship come up to the Golden
Horn. and 1t is understood that in this
position the Turkish government is sup

succor to American citizens whose lives or
property placed in jeopardy. This general
rule applies with special force to Turkey,
where the reigning monarch is confessedly y
unable and notoriously unwilling to pro-
tect the lives of foreigners, especially OF
Christians, from the outbreaks of fauatica,
