if Criminal Proceedings Be
Dismissed

NEW WHATCOM, Wash, Nov. 5.-De-
positors of the defunct Scandinavian
American Bank of this city have received
an offer of settlement from its fugitive
president, H. st. John, otherwise known
as Dix, who last January absconded after
looting it of every cent of deposits and
taking a goodly share of the money pald
in for its capital stock, more than S25, 900
all told. The offer came in a letter de-
livered to-day to Receiver Muir by a man
whose identity the receiver was pledged
in advance not to disclose.
The fugitive says that if the depositors
will sign an agreement to dismiss all
pending criminal and civil proceedings
against himself and other officers and di-
rectors Of the looted institution he will
make a cash payment of 25 per cent of
their claims and payment of the remain
ing rs per cent in quarterly payments, all
to be paid within one year.
The letter is believed to have come from
South Africa st. John says that Cashier
Oleson and former attorney for the
bank, S. M. Bruce, are with him.

Secretary Hay and ambassador Choate

force itself into European affairs and for
this reason the State Department has NOT
asked the Navy Department to send a
ship to the Eastern Mediterranean.

Admiral CaiIIard Reports.

Following is the dispatch received from
Admiral Cailiard: g
''MITYLENE, Nov. 4, 11:4O a. mar
mored division arrived at Mitylene.'
The dispatch does not mention any in
cident attending the landing, but it seems
certain that the French commander car
ried out his instructions, which were to
occupy three ports of the island and to
seize the customs.
One cruiser and three torpedo catchers
got separated from the squadron, owing
to the speed of the latter. The dispatch
boat, Mouette, which had joined the
squadron, was sent to meet them and to
accompany them to Mitylene.

Expect Sultan to Settle.

THE necessity for sezing big customs,
therefore, became less pressing although
the necessity for occupying Turkish ter
rltory in order to exercise pressure and
compel the Sultan to concede the demands
respecting Turkeys disregard of French
treaty rights, still remained urgent. The
Government, therefore, decided that Ad-
mlral Caillard should occupy a couple of
ports on the island Of Mitylene, which is
conveniently close to Smyrna. 1t is the
Governments impression that the Sultan
will satisfactorily settle the monetary
question should the customs receipts
prove not sufficient to satisfy the French
demands, and Smyrna can yet be occupied
In the meantime the occupation of the
ports of the island of Mitylene is more
convenient from a military point of view
as the French cannot easily be disturbed
whereas, Smyrna, being the main
land, its occupation might have more
serious results than desired. The French
Government, however, trusts that the
whole controversy will shortly be ar
ranged to its satisfaction, and hopes
that the treaty stipulations will be carried
out by the issue Of trades, such as giving
certain French schools permission to in
struct, which thus far has been withheld,
and also by giving official recognition
throughout the Turkish empire to di-
ploma5 isued by the French medical fac
ulty at Beirout, etc."

the port of Syra and received from the
telegraph station a batch of dispatches
containing definite instructions from the
French Government regarding carrying
out of the sealed orders, which were hand
ed to the admiral previous to his leaving
Toulon. These dispatches directed Ad-
miral Caillard to proceed to the island
of Mitylene, where he will seize the Gus
toms OF Midilli, and at another port.
The Foreign Office here has not yet re-
celved the Sultan's reply to the note pre-
scented by M. Bapst, Counselor of the
French legation, following out the in
structions of M. Delcasse of the Foreign
ONCE, under date of November 4. The
correspondent here of the Associated
Press is enabled to make the following
statement:
France Acts Cautiously.
When the French Government decided
10 SEND French squadron to Turkey it
deDated whether to seize the customs at
oaIonlca, Beirout or Smyrna, as it was
realized that the receipts of one of these
three big ports would be required to pro-
duce sufficient sum to pay off the
french claims without a long occupation,
winch was considered inadvisable The
occupation of Salonica was at once dis
missed, because it might create the false
impression that France was aiming to re-
open the Macedonian question. The occu-
patton of Beirout was also set aside, ow-
ing to the French position and interests,
and Smyrna, where the population looks
upon france as protector. The occu-
patton of Beirout was certain to produce
offense and perhaps even rebellion. The
choice of M. Delcasse, consequently, fell
on Smyrna, which offers equal advan-
tages to the other ports, without their
political drawbacks. Saturday, however,
came the dispatch from M. Bapst, an
nouncing the issuance of the Sultan's
trade accepting the Lorando claim in it's
entirety, as France demanded. This dis
patch slightly modified the aspect of the
situation, inasmuch as M. Delcasse came
to the conclusion that the Sultan would
now settle the money claims and would,
which France demanded for their pay
ment.
