TURKEY PAYS THE
CLAIM Of AMERICA
Indemnity Matter at Last Set
tied by the Sultan.
SENDS SUM OF s95,OOy
TO GO PRINCIPALLY TO MIS-
SIONARIES SUFFERING.

Washington. July 10.-The state de-
partment has received the amount Of
the American indemnity for the claim
against Turkey S95 600. through the
American legation at ConstantinOple-
The money was paid by the Turkish
government to Mr. Leishman, our min
lister at COnStantinOple, ana was Dy
him placed in the Ottoman imperial
( bank aR4 drafts RENTED for the
amount These drafts have just
reached Washington.
As is always the case, the claims in
the aggregate considerably exceed the
amount of the indemnity actually paid
but our government has expressed it
self satisfied with the payment 1T as
sumess full responsibility for the dis
tributiOn. the Turkish government pay
ing down a lump sum of $4,000 and
leaving it to the state department TO
distribute among the claimants at its
discretion and after its own fashion. 1t
is stated that as soon as the depart
ment officials can prepare their list
that it win communicate directly with
the claimants.
These claims are principally based on
losses suffered by American missionary
and educational institutions in Turkey,
notably those at Harpoot and Marash,
but there are a number of individual
claims such, for instance. as that Of
the family of the unfOrtAnate Cyclist
LEM the Plttsburg man VINO was Killed
by Turkish soldiers while attempting
TO 90 around the globe on his wheel
officials Are Satisfied.
The state department officials feel
the greatest satisfaction at the settle
ment of these claims. Secretary Hay
has been told by diplomats skilled in
the ways Of Oriental diplomacy and eX-
perieuced in the political conditions Of
southern Europe. that he never would
be able to collect them. Among other
difficulties, the state department had to
contend with the jealousy of the great
European powers, most Of whom had
claims against Turkey vastly larger in
amount than ours. and whose total was
beyond the ability of the Turkish gov
eminent to meet.
For more than n decade the Ameri-
can claims have been pending. Minis
ter Terrell initiated them; DR.. Angel
went over to collect them, expecting to
be so engaged only a short time, but
he returned unsuccessful after several
years in COnstantinOple. Then Minister
Strauss took them up, and when he re-
signed he passed them along to young
Mr.. GriscOm. The latter only recently
committed his heavy charge to Mr..
Leishman, and while to the latter be
longs the credit of actually collecting
the money. It is said at the state de-
partment that every one Of the Off
GERS named has contributed valuable
services toward the final settlement
Meanwhile, the state department nat
urally feels gratified not only over the
receipt of the money, but for the larger
reason that the Turkish government
has, in making the payment. given a
most signal manifestation of the regard
it entertainS for the United States, and
thus mas re-esta blished effectualIy the
very best relations between the two
