WIND MAY PREVENT RACE.
Naval Cadets and Pennsylvania Crews

Naval Cadets and Pennsylvania Crews
to Row Today.
ANNAPOLIS. Md. May 29.-E,verything
is in readiness for the boat race between
the crew from the University of Pennsyl
vania and that of the Naval Cadets. The
day dawned bright and clear. but u brisk
wind out of the north roughened the water
to such al extent in the morning as to
make 1T doubtful if the race could be pull
ed off al the scheduled time.
The course was the same as that over
which Cornell aEd tic cadets raced two
weeks ago. and is not a good one for those
who remain on shore to witness the con-
test. 1t Is laid from point about two and
half miles off shore. the start being al
most that distance from all spectators
who are not following the shells in tugs,
ana rne racers pull shoreward for two
miles finishing well out in the river.
There are no turrs in it, and even a slight
breeze kicks UP little white caps. which
are very trying to men whose practice has
all been done in smooth water. The sailor
boys, therefore. have a slight advantage.
In that they go over 1T almost daily. and
become accustomed to its roughness.

CASE OF MINISTER ANGEL
Hot Dsen Possunoea Persona Non Gnta BY
Turkey.
Certain IAqulriea lGad Been Made and
Preventative Of the Porte.

Certain inquiries that have been pro-
pounded ty the Turkish government as TO
the record Of Dr. Angel Of Ann Harbor.
Mich, who has been appointed successor to
Mr.. Terrell of Texas as minister to Tur-
key, have led to the erroneous conclusion
that formal objection has been made TO the
minister, or, In other words, that our gov
ernment has been officially notified that DIR.
Angel is persona non grata to the sublime
porte. At the White House and at the
State Department 1t is firmly denied that
any such objection has been made to the
reception of the newly appointed minister.
but 1t is true, nevertheless, that some time
ago Mr.. Terrell was acquainted by the
porte with the fact that the Turkish gov
ernment would be pleased to know whether
certain ideas of the qualities and eeord of
the new minister were well founded
Information of this character is said 10 be
right that the Turkish government has
always claimed. but 1t cannot be learned
whether this right has been exercised be-
fore in the case of an American minister.
In DIR. Angelrs case the inquiries are sup
posed to be based upon his connection with
some religious organization which the porte
suspects of special antipathy to the Mo-
hammedan faith. The State Department
Goes not question the right of country to
In fact, the precedents on that point are
all IN one direo ton, and diplomatic history
furnishes some strong instances of success
full assertion OF the right.
While in DIR. Angeles case there has been
nc formal complaint. it is the belief of the
officials that it would be best to at once
meet the suspicious, apparantly founded on
error. and present the facts. To this end
the Turkish minister here, Mustaafa Bey
has been consulted, and explana tions have
teen made to him which, in the opinion of
the officials of the State Department, will
satisfy the Turkish government as 10 the
minister's fitness for his post and his ac-
ceptability to the Turks. Dr. Angel him
self has recently been in Washington in
consultation with the State Department
officials respecting the matter. and in fact
| he left Washington only last evening pre-
| sumably for his home at Ann Arbor, Mich,
though he did not leave his address. Be
| fore his departure he told Il Star reporter
that he would not say when he would
| leave for his post, but it is known that he
| has engaged passage from New York on
| tine steamer of June IL. II ne fails TO carry
| out this engagement it will be only because
| the State Departments explanations shall
| have been declared insufficient by the
| Turkish government.
| Mentioned for the Spanish Mission.
| 1t was run,ored this afternoon that Dr..
| Angell of Michigan would be offered the
| post of minister to Spain In the event OF
| the Turkish government declining to re-
| celve him.
