Washington. April 14.--It Is learned or
undoubted authority that the negotiations
for the payment of indemnity demanded
for the destruction of American mission
airy property in Turkey during the Ar
menian massacres in 1895 have reached
their logical conclusion. Minister Strauss
secured the promise OF the sultan that
Indemnity amounting to about 800, 001
should be paid. and that promise having
been twice renewed. the last time Just
previous to Mr.. Strauss departure from
Constantinople, 1t was understood by the
minister as we'll as by the state depart.
ment, that payment would be forthcom-
ing. Sixteen months have passed since
the promise was made and 1t has not yet
been fulfilled, and the question presents
Itself. what action will this government
take to enforce its observance? The
president has refused to accept the resig-
nation of Minister Strauss and has in.
definitely extended his leave OF absence.
