Situation at Mnfeking.
VIII Not Fight Turkey.

New York, May "A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Naval coercion of Turkey to obtain q
settlement of the American missionary
claims is not contemplated by the ad-
ministrdtion. This statement is made up
on high authority. Drastic measures
against Turkey have been urged by form
er Minister Angel, by politicians on be-
half of missionaries and by ministers OF
the gospel, but the president and Secretary
Hay have not considered their sugges-
tons.
The administration is well satisfied with
the concessions made by the sublime porte,
and while it is anxious that the sultan
shall keep his promise to pay the claims,
it feels that he has already been consid-
crate of this government in permitting
the reconstruction of the American mis-
sion in Harpoot, and in the extension OF
Roberts College in Constantinople. 1t ID
authoritatively stated that the latest note
presented to the porte by Mr.. Griscom,
the American charge d'affaires, is not an
ultimatum, but is merely repetition OK
the demand for the settlement.
The conclusion OF the administration not
to adopt the suggestions that this govern
ment make naval demonstration in
Turkish waters is undoubtedly due to the
knowledge that Europe would resent the
entrance of the United States into the
Turkish question.
