THE sULTAN,s DECREE.
United states Can't Interfere In Cases
of Expulsions Such as Have
Been Threatened.

Washington, Dec. 24.-The state de-
partment confirms the report that
Mr.. Eddy, our charge at Constan-
tinople, is In correspondence with
the porte relative to the proposed ex-
pulsion of naturalized American cit
liens from Turkey unless these citi-
Gems abandon their allegiance to the
United States. Owing to the alb
sence Of naturalization treaty be-
tween the United States and Turkey
our government has no special au-
thority to interfere In behalf of these
1aturaized citizens as against an
edict of expulsion. The reliance upon
broad principles of international law
LIS not strong, for the principle that
nation may refuse to allow its citi-
xens to change their nationality has
been pretty we'll established. But
admitting the right of expulsion, the
unitad c4ates- government has itself
q right to insist that this shall not
be attended by hardship such as
might result from the allowance OF
very limited period of time for
leaving Turkey. It Is probable that
Mr.. Eddy will take advanced ground
on that point, if he cannot secure the
abandonment of the projected order
of expulsion.

Monday convinces the newspapers
that it is hopeless to expect peace IN

gregate $4,000 men.
