Washington Officials Refuse 10 NJ
vuIgc the Noture of Them.
Washington, April 27.-Beyond the
statement that Mr.. Griscom, United States
charge daffaires at Constantinople, has
the payment of the American claims for
indemnity, the officials here decline to d.
vulge the nature OF his instructions. They
say that MIR. Griscom does not need eX-
press instructions to forward the claims,
for he had OF his own volition taken q
rather advanced attitude in the matter,
and the representations he is now making
though this time by express instructions.
are in no respect more peremptory than
his own preceding deliveries 10 the Turk
ish government.
Novel though the proposition was from
a diplomatic standpoint, yet it is learned
to be true that the effort was made by the
porte to pay this American claim under
cover of an order for a warship to he
built in the United States for Turkey. The
reasons for the failure of the project were
several The United States government
has no warshlps for sale and it is not
authorized 10 build any for foreign order.
Then there is no warrant of law for en-
tering into an arrangem ent with a private
sh.pbuidlng concern for the collection Of
an international obligation in the manner
proposed. Lastly, Judging by the appear
anee of concerns that have dealings with
the Turkish government, any shipbuiider
accepting the order from Turkey would re-
quire guarantee from the United States.
and the net result of the transaction
might be the assumption by the United
States of an obligation as much larger
than the original claims, as the price Of
battleship exceeds the 100000, Even II
these obstacles We're overcome, the scheme
would be an utter failure as concerns
the accomplishment of the prime object
namely the secret payment TO the United
States of the indemnity, with view of
avoiding demands from other nations iCr
the settlement of their claims, for under
our open method of business the transac.
ton would have TO be matter of official
record.
one effect of this sudden application OF
pressure upon Turkey is a renewal OF the
applications from American holders Of
other claims against Turkey for a pres
cntation Of their cases. Save the mis-
sionary claims, the $50 600 indemnity con-
tains only one small allotment OF about
$4,000 for the benefit OF the family of 81
cyclist Lentz, who was killed in Turkey
while making circuit OF the globe But
il is believed that however well founded
the other outstanding claims may be, ;h-
present time is not regarded as proptious
fer urging them upon the attention of
the porte, and It is expected that nothing
would be done to divert the negotiations
from this missionary claim as the main
issue,
