High Turkish Official Makes An

(By Associated Press.)


Constantinople, Oct. 31.-The Turkish
government Is already preparing to resist
the anticipated demand of the United
States for repayment Of the ransom nee
essary to secure the release of Miss Ellen
NJ. stone, the abducted American mis-
sinary.
The porte repudiated all responsibility
Tor the kidnapping of Miss Stone. and
maintains that the United States has no
claim against Turkey and that, there
fore. the latter Is justified in refusing
to recoup the United States for the
money expended in her rescue.
A. high Turkish official this morning
Informed a representative Of the press
that the Turkish resistance of any claims
would be based upon the contentious,
first, that Miss Stone, although warned
of the dangers of the road. persisted in
travelling; second, that she did not notify
the authorities of her intention in order
to obtain an escort, which precaution
even the foreign consuls always take in
travelling in such outlying, insecure dis
tricts Of the empire: and third, that the
brigands who kidnapped Miss Stone and
her companion were Bulgarians; that the
coup planned in Bulgaria, and that sane
tuary was found in Bulgarian territory.

Shortly after sentence had been pro.
nOunced DOugherty was ushered into
the office Of Deputy United States Mar
shall Meiklejohn and searched. as it was
suspected that he had either a knife Or

Big Knife Found.
The surmises of the officers in this re-
spect were not wrong, for in "Billy's"
right coat pocket was knife with a
blade about four inches long.
Under The blade was piece Of paper,
which it is supposed was placed there
for the purpose of preventing the sharp
edge from burying itself too deeply in

touched or one that rests on something.
Whether Dougherty intended to use IL

deavor to cut his way to liberty can only
be guessed. He may have intended to
use it for cutting pie at the pen
Taken by the Officers.
But he Glrd the knife, and, knowing
his reputation as a cutter the officers
relieved him Of it, Yesterday it was
sent to him at the prison.
The supposition is that DOugherty. in
the event of receiving a long sentence,
intended to try the knife on a few Off
GERS and then kill himself, but the SEN

the undertaking.

Complains to the Chief.
Immediately upcn his release he made
a complaint to the chief that he had been

he had gone into saloon and had been
set upon by II. N. McMillen and Frank

The IS was returned to George before

Yesterday it developed that George
was possessed of a regular Eli Perkins

the young mans overcoat in a saloon

had thrown it on the floor while Offering

The return of the overcoat through the
honesty of the saloon keeper threw a

CLOSES Ills CASE
COUNSEL RAYNOR'S LAST WIT
NESS, RETIRES.
SCHLEY UNPUBLISHED REPORT
Court Of Inquiry Rapidly Coming TO
the End of Its Tiresome Labors-
Direct Testimony Now
All In.
(By Associated Press.)

(By Associated Press.)
Washington, Oct. 31.-When the Schley
court of inquiry opened today Capt. T..
s. Borden was called as the first witness
of the day and the last witness who was
to testify in Admiral schley's behalf.
Captain Borden is an officer in the
marine corps and served on the Brock
Ign during the Cuban campaign.
His testimony was, therefore. largely
corroborative of the evidence which has
heretofore been given by others who
were on the Brooklyn.
Admiral Schley will probably not re-
turn to the witness stand for the correc-
ton OF his testimony for two or three
days.
In response to questions from Mr..
Raynor, Captain Borden said he had
seen Commodore Schley three times dur
ing the battle and that his bearing was
everything that the officers and crew
could have expected.
Captain Borden was excused and as he
left the stand, Mr.. Raynor said he would
have no more witnesses to call. He said:
May it please the court. We have
closed our case.
This statement was made in such
ouietness that it is doubtful whether its
purport was understood by half those
present.
Captain Parker then asked to have, put
in evidence a number of documents, in

schley's Unpublished Report.
Following is an extract from it:
I'm my judgment from an unobstrueted
view of the entire field of action during
the combat. the Viscaya was not more
than 1900 yards distant. Ny flag lieu
tenant at my elbow reminded me that
the distance between the leaders Of the
Spanish squadron aid ourselves was
approaching our tactical diameter. The
| stadimeter at this instance indicated
800 yards. The Brooklyn then swung te
starboard to meet what proved to be the
last of the attempts to ram the Brook,
lyn, for the Viscaya then turned SQUARE
to starboard and followed the Maria

THREE WARSHIPS START FOR
THE LEVANT.
SAILED WITH SEALED ORDERS
Possibility Expressed That French
Ships, in Certain contingencies,
Would Proceed to Bombard the
Port of Smyrna.
(By Associated Press.)

Paris, Oct. 31.-The officials of the
French foreign Office confirm the report
that a division of the French Mediter-
ranean fleet, composed Of three battle
ships and two cruisers, under the COM
mand of Admiral Caillard, has proceed
ed from ToulOn to the Levant, to
make naval demonstration against
Turkey.
A foreign Office official in comment
ing on the foregoing to correspondent
Of the Press says, 1.-The squadron sailed
with sealed orders and proceeds first
to a Greek port, the Island of Smyrna,
l think, where the admiral will receive
definite instructions as to carrying out
his sealed orders. I am not at liberty
to say what the sealed orders are, but
the seizure of the customs at Smyrna
would probably be very effective way
of convincing the sultan that Frances
patience is exhausted and that we have
decided to enforce an immediate execu-
ton of the Turkish governments en-
gagements.
Hope to Avoid Extremes.
1--WE, however, are very hopeful that
the sultan will not compel us to go to
that extreme.
"Our squadron will not reach the
Greek port before Sunday. The Turkish
government has thus still three days
grace, and we trust in the meantime
to receive complete satisfaction.
"It is now two months since the
French ambassador, NJ. Constans. left
Constantinople. His departure failed
to produce the desired effect. On the
contrary, even the Quays and Tub!ni
questions which were settled by the sui"
tan's Trades, remain unadjusted.
''rhe situa ton in the Turkish EN-
pire deferred us for some time from
taking drastic measures to enforce our
demands but the dignity of France
could not permit the present state OF
affairs to be prolonged indefinitely.
1--WE sincerely hope the sultan Will
fully appreciate the fact that we cannot
any longer be trifled with and relieve
us of taking further steps to safeguard
our interests
Bombardment Possibility.
The official was asked what would
happen in the event of the French
squadron being ordered to seize the Gus
toms and if the Turkish authorities
resisted, and he slid:
"That is very unlikely contingency,
but if it occurs, suppose we shah
have to lombard that port. We do
not want bloodshed and ! do not be-

from beer. One third of the German ex-
ports to Togoland and one-seventh of
