SPECIAL Dispatch 10 The Post.l

Washington, November 24.-pressure Is
being applied to San Domingo by the
United States to secure payment OF the
Ozama bridge award. This award was
made two months ago IN favor of Nathan
Eel Mckay OF this city. II amounted to
little more than $4,000, one-fourth Of
which was to be paid at once, and the rcs-
IN three equal fnstallments of $4,000 each.
The second payment is due next month.
The first payment has never been satisfied
and the administration recently gave some
consideration to the proprlety of dispatch
ing a man-of-war TO San Domingo to collect
che award. a communication has been re-
ceived from the minister OF foreign al
fairs OF San Domingo Indicating that his
government will soon settle the first pay
mewt, and DIT is expected delay viii b.
asked with reference TO the payment of the
second installment. 1t Is not intenled by
this government to wait upon San Domingo
any length of time. Should the necessity
arise--which. however. rs not anticipated
no doubt exists that the United States
government will send man-ofwar TO en-
force payment
The department has been modified by the
American minister to Peru that one house
of the Peruvian congress has passed bill
Rpproprsnting the amount OF the award in
the famous McCord claim, aSd there is
little doubt that similar action will be
taken by the other house. on It's approval
by the president a check will be sent 10

Washington, November 24.--.During the

American missionary property valued at
S1o0 900 was destroyed. Repeated demands
on the sultan to make good the demand
have been urged by this government.

made similar demands for nike claims in

have been rejected as those of the United

Ferrouch Bey, the Turkish minister here.
has publicly offered as reply to a diplomat
lc demand for indemnity the ASSERTION that
Turkey has demand on other nations be-
cause their houses in Constantinople we're
used as points of attack upon the Turkish

But the state department Is not satisfied
and sees no reason why, because other ne -
TINS hilvo not pushed their claims agains &
the porte. the United States should e
bound by tha precedent. So Minister
Strauss has been instructed to press these
claims and to insist on their recognition
ana payment by Turkey. He is to use all
Tie means in his power as Diplomat TO
accomplish the end sought, but failure is
regarded as n certainty
In that event the state department will
formally notify the president Of the affair
and request Tire use Of force to compel
payment; in which event it is quite prob
able that an American feet will be sent
Into the Mediterranean to make a naval
