A WARsHIP GOING TO MOROCCO
CASE TO BE RENEwED-No IDEA
OF wARLIKE ACTION.

wasSngten. Dec. 1.-The State Department
today sent instructions 10 Consul-General Gum
mere at Tangier Morocco. TO proceed TO the
capital Of that country. far as possible on a
United states man-of-war. to present anew the
claim Of the Isrited States for indemnity on ac-
count of the murder of Marcus Ezaguin. a rat
uralized American citizen. who was killed in
Ju,e Of this year. The warship. which will
nrobablv be the Kentucky recalled from Smyrna
for that purpose, VIII convey the Consul-Cenerai
from Tangier 10 Mazagan. which is the nearest
mort 10 Fez, the capital OF Morocco.
The indemnity demanded in behalf OF the
v,5ov Of Ezaguin amounts to $1,000. and was
b.sa5 on the failure OF the Moorish Government
- nunisb the murderers. The Moorish Govern
mont declined the hrst demand. on the ground
that Fzaguin. by long residence in Morocco had
become a Moorish citizen under the terms OF
the Madrid Convention. The State Department.
however. holds that the returned naturalized
citizen had a right 10 elect whether he should
become a Moor or leave the country. and Eza-
guin was prevented from exercising that choice
by his murderers.
In view OF this fact. and the further fact that
the last discussion on this subject between Con-
sul-General Gummere and the Moorish authori-
tjes was without result the State Department
has thought the present to be fitting occasion

Court where no representative OF the United
states Government has been for years, with full
movers 10 close the case Of the murdered man
ana the other claims that have been pending
against the Government Of Morocco. The dis
nosition OF the United States Government is en-
tire!y friendly, but IL feels that Il has not been
f treated with proper consideration, and the Navy
Department has been asked 10 supply man-of-
war 10 convey the Consul-General 10 MaZagan
and await his future movements

ing at the Arlington Hotel to-day to consider

Of Congress. c. A. Griscom, president Of the

sentative Grosvenor also were in attendance.
The committee considered at length the objec-
tons which have been urged against the bill as

important amendments. The committee also de-
cided to urge the utmost dispatch in getting the
bill before Congress for consideration.
Senator Frye who has charge OF the Shipping
Subsidy bill, announced to-day that he would

NO FEAR OF RUPTURE WITH TURKEY
Mr.. GRIscoM PERSONA GRATA AT THE
YILDIZ PALACE

Constsntinople, Dec. 1.-The rumors that a
rupture OF diplomatic relations between the
United States and Turkey is imminent are un-
founded. The relations between the Porte and
the United States Legation are excellent. In
fact, the United States Charge d'Affaires, Lloyd
c. Griscom. has been received in audience six
times this year. Only a fortnight ago he was
invited 10 a musical entertainment at the Yildiz
Palace. This proves he is persona grata at the
Palace.
The visit OF the United States battleship Ken
tucky TO Smyrna does not influence the nature
OF these relations, though 1t does induce the
Porte TO concern itself more strictly with the
claims Of the United States for indemnity. which
were already on the point Of solution.
Dr.. Thomas H. Norton. who was appointed to
establish United States Consulate at Harpoot,
IS going on Monday TO take possession OF his
post The United States Legation will continue

The Democratic leaders have been consulting
about the position TO be assumed by them tow

WAY FOR CANAL CLEARED.
NICARAGUA CEDES RIGHTS TO THE
UNITED STATES.
TREATY SIGNED BY SECRETARY HA
AND THE NICARAGUAN MINISTER.

Washington. Dec. 1.-secretary Hay. for the
Government of the United States. and sehor
Corea. the Ncaraguan Minister. for his
Government to-day signed a treaty by which
Nicaragua cedes to the United States the neces-
sary rights and privileges within her bestowal
for the construction Of the Nicaragua Canal.
This treaty is signed in anticipation of action
by Congress on the pending Nicaragua Canal
bin and the -Pauncefote treaty. Pending
the submission of the document to the Senate.
which must ratify the agreement the terms of
the treaty will not be made public. It is under
stood, however. that Nicaragua grants to the
United States the exclusive right to construct
and operate a canal between the Atlantic and
the Pacific across Nicaragua including the free
use Of the San Juan River and of Lake Managua
as part Of the watercourse. Nicaragua is also
TO rid herself of any existing treaties that would
tend in any way to abridge the privileges to be
acquired by the United States. It is understood.
also. that Nicaragua comedies to the United
States full authority to police the canal Mica
ragua is TO receive in compensation certain
amount of the securities of the canal construc-
ton company. and. although it is not possible
now TO learn the figure given in the treaty the
sum is believed TO approximate S5,0O0,OO0.
The State Department already has entered
into an arrangement similar lines with the
republic Of Costa Rica- This was because Costa
Rica has established claim TO the right bank OF
the San Juan River which must of necessity
form about a third OF the length OF the canal,
should the Nicaragua route be selected and the
canal be constructed on the lines which will be
suggested by the Walker Commission.
An understanding has also been reached with
the United States Of Colombia covering the same
rights and privileges for the Panama route as
are conveyed by Nicaragua and Costa Rica in
the case OF the Nicaragua route So the State
Department now has cleared the way for such
action as Congress may care TO take in the case
| OF either Of the canal routes which have been
found feasible
