TURKEY WILL PAY
Missionary Indemnity Import
ance OF Permission to Rebuild the
Roberts College,.

Washington, April 24-It can be stat
respecting the American missionary
claims are progressing in the most
satisfactory manner, in the view of the
government. The department has re-
ceived from Mr.. GriScom. the United
States charge, a cablegram ANNOUNCE
ing the porte has undertaken TO meet
all OF the engagements made with the
United States respecting the payment
OF the claims set UP on account OF the
destruction of h American mission
property in Turkey. II is not stated
when the payments will be made, and
1t is SurmiSed, that owing to the many
obligations of greater magnitude press
ing upon the porte. some time may yet
elapse before the money is actually in
hand.
The charge also confirmed the press
reports as to the publication by the
uorte of an trade authorizing the re-
building of the destroyed missions It
Harpoot and Harsan and the construc-
ton OF an annex to the Robert col
lege, the great American theological
institute.
This action of the Turkish uthor
ties is regarded as of Importance, far
exceeding the payment of $50, 900 on ac-
count Of property destroyed by a mob.
1t amounts to the recognition of the
right of our missionaries to build their
schools in Turkey and ensures them
against they regarded as a grad
ual, but absolute excursion from the
domains of the sultan. Under the
Turkish law, buildings destroyed I'M
der the condition surrounding these at
Harpoot, can be reconstructed only by
special permission of the porte. In the
case of Harpoot schools and Robert
college, the applications have been
pending for several years before the
porte, and several American ministers
lave vainly tried to forward them.
