Secretary Hay has received report on

key by reason of the Armenian outrages.
IL his report Mr. Griscom, the American
Charge at Constantinople, states that he
has called at the Foreign Office every Sat
urday for the past three months and has
made the demand for payment. The Turk
ish officials have always replied that they
would pay in due time and this was all
the satisfaction obtainable.
The State Department has given up the
idea of seizing the port of Smyrna in pay
ment of the claim. as Great Britain has
made a strenuous objection on the ground
that she was one of the parties to the
Ccnstantinople convention in 1889. when
it was agreed that the European powers
should take care Of Turkey and prevent
any attacks on the territory. 1t is said
by State Department officials that Turkey

For seven weeks now our world has
been very small one. Bounded by the
walls of this legation and with the ex
ception of the three messengers who have
managed to get through the Chinese lines
to Tientsin and back. we know nothing of
the outer world We have here in places
within our barricades nearly 1000 Chris
tians (Protestants and Catholics. Three
miles from here, at the North Catholic
Cathedral, there are 2,000 more who are
also in siege. They have some French and
Italian soldiers to help them, and were
well fortified. We do not know whether
they have held out OF not We can get no
word and there has been fierce cannonad-
ing in that direction. With the exception
of these few we know absolutely nothing
about the rest OF the Christians. We have
every reason to fear the worst as we have
got hold of the ediets issued during the
past two months that give US little hope
that any can have escaped. Friday, June
s. we foreigners left our places and all got
together at the Methodist Episcopal Mis-
sion. which is about mile from here We
had twenty American marines to protect
us. All the missionaries were armed, and
We were able to get arms for lot OF our
younger Chinese men. June IS, Wednesday
evening, at about Z o'clock, some one
rushed in and said that the outer chapel
was all in flames. This was set by the Box
ers. and from there they went to all the
foreign places. except the legations. 1t
was an awful night, as we saw the flames
lighting up the city in all directions
THE night of June II was horrible be-

thousands of men could be heard in the
southern city yelling at the top OF their
voices. If that insane band had had
