The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1900-04-27

The New York Herald contained the
following in Thursdays issue oscar
s. Straus, minister from the United
States to Turkey, is at his homei in this
city. It is understood that he is to
remain here until the claim in dispute
is settled.
"When Mr.. Stratus found that the
sultan, despite his personal pledge to
pay the claims, which had, at his So
LECTION, been reduced from more than
$500, 900 to 100000, was bent on
continuing his policy of delay, he sent
a dispatch to Washington, relating the
facts of the negotiation and offering
his immediate resignation. The re-
signation, if accepted, would have
been tantamount to direct challenge
to the sublime porte.
"The administration was not pre-
pared, however, to take such a posi-
tive step and asked Mr.. Straus to per-
nit his resignation to remain Enacted
upon, and to retire from Constantine
pie until the affair might be adjusted
amicably or by firm pressure Cpon the
sultan. It is understood, therefore,
that the absence of Minister Straus
from Constantinople is notice to the
sultan of the displeasure of this coun-
try. Mr.. Straus says:
ST regard the situation grave unless
the sultan promptly makes good his
promises. The sultan has made the
promise to pay the indemnity three
times. conducted the negotiations
through all the stages of diplomacy
and spared no effort to avoid friction
but impressed upon the sultan tina
our government relied upon the
prompt fulfllment of his promises
which good faith no less than good re
lations demanded. "

Indemnity Of 100000 Demanded
By the United States.
DESTROYED MISSION PROPERTY
The Turk Breaks His Promise and
Now Minister Straus Predicts
Serious Complications.

A special to the New York Trib-
une from Washington says:
"The United States charge d'afairs
at Constantinople will be directed to
inform the sultan that this govern
ment must insist on the payment with
out further delay of 100000 indem-
nifty for outrages on American mission
aries and destruction Of their property,
unless prompt action on the sultan's
part anticipates the ultimatum and
the debt is discharged before resort is
made to drantic measures.
"Several courses have been urged
on the president for the collection OF
the S1O0,000 indemnity, which is ad-
mitted by the sultan to be due to the
American missionaries. Consideration
has been given to a proposition to seize
the port of Smyrna and administer it's
customs revenues until the judgment
and expenses OF collection are cancell-
ed. The course has not been wholly
abandoned in the remote contingency
that satisfaction is indefinitely de-
layed.
''It involves serious complications
in the Mediterranean, for which the
United States is extremely reluctant
to assume responsibility Cor the recov-
DRY of so small amount at the present
time. 1t might precipitate war through
Turkey sending some of its antiquated
warships to Smyrna to resist the tenn
porary American occupation. In that
event the necessity for sending large
feet to the Mediterranean would create
alarm among the powers and disturb
the delicate equilibrium now existing
in Europe.
"Under the circumstances it hal
been determined to exhaust all re
sources of peace with confidence tina
the sultan will be brought to under
stand that his promises cannot b.
lightly broken.
"The proved claims against Turke,
include about $500, 900 for the destruc
ton of property alone. To these
which admitted practically of no dis
pute, there was added the Leptz clair
of $40, 900, which was presented to Sec
rotary Olney."
