Mr.. Straus, by reason OF his successful
previous mission, and his past expert
ence, was summoned by the president
TO take up the mission as best qualified
10 adjust the pending questions IN a
manner satisfactory to both countries.
Shortly after his arrival at Constanti-
nop!e. in September. 1898. several mat
ters yielded 10 negotiation. He then
addressed himself TO the main ques-
fions. the compensation for missionary
buildings destroyed. and for property
looted and for the permit OF their re-
building.
DENIED LIABILITY AT FIRST.
The Turkish government, shortly be-
fore the departure Of DR.. Angel, sent
a reply denying all liability for the
buildings and property destroyed. A
similar reply was sent 10 the ambassa-
doris OF England, France and Italy hav-
ing like claims.
Mr.. Straus took up the question
anew, basing his argument upon the
well recognized principles of interna-
tional law with the result that an an
audience with the Sultan on the Sth
OF December 1898, the Sultan promised
TO pay the claims. The claims were
examined with great care and scrutiny.
based upon the principle of indemnity
for the actual value of the property
ne had given permission for the recon-
struction OF these destroyed buildings.
Neither OF these promises have been
kept.
EXECUTION UNSATISFIED.
The situation is practically this: Our
minister has succeeded in obtaining
Judgment by confession upon the
claims, which confession was made by
the Sultan himself. but the execution
remainA unsatisfied. Mr.. Straus has,
under the guidance of Secretary Hay,
done everything diplomacy could ac-
complish TO bring to the Sultan's atten-
tion the seriousness of the situation.
Our minister, as well as our govern
ment. hoped that the Sultan's promise,
though delayed. would be fulfilled.
During the continuation of Minister
Straus' leave of absence the legation is
now in charge of Capt. Lloyd c. Girls
com, the secretary OF legation. who Is
fully conversant with the business.
