But Turkish Indemnity Claim Is No
Nearer Settlement Than Ever.

WASHINGTON, Oct enquiry at the
state department discloses the fact that
there have been no recent developments
IN the matter of the claim OF the United
States against Turkey for indemnifica-
lion. on account of missionary property
destroyed at Harpoot and elsewhere sew
eral years ago. The claim has been pre-
Bented several times to the Turkish gov
srpment,- the most recent presentation be-
ing made by Mr.. Griscom, our charge
d affaires at Constantinople. In each
case the-Turkish government, instead of
TepudiaSing the clajas, has promised
settlement, and this is the state of the
ease al present. Some months ago Rear
Admiral Ahmed, OF the Turkish navy,
came over here to purchase a ship, with
the unofticially understood purpose Of
compromising with the claimants under
seeEer@of purchase. He carried home a
number Of plans from American ship
builders, but did not buy a vessel, so far
as IS known, here. Meanwhile with
view TO impressing upon the Turkish
government its dissatisfaction with It's
Gi!ateFiness, the state department. has
allowed MIR. Straus, our minister to Tur-
key to remain in the United States. There
the matter rests for the present. There
have been no developments and none are
expected in the very near future.
