TO FORCE TURKEY TO PAY.
4 Severance of Diplomatic Relations

fronts the Government relates to the In

for outrages committed against American

reached q point where the Government
has under consideration the adop.
ton Of one OF several radical courses.

When Dr.. Angel resigned as Minister In
1898 the relations between the two coun-

tion OF the Turkish Government and It's re-
tusal to entertain the indemnity claims.
The Turkish Government, shortly before
the departure Of DR.. ANGEL, sent a reply
denying all liability for the buildings and
property destroyed. A similar reply was
ssnt to the Ambassadors Of England, France
and Italy. having like claims.
Later. when the subject was pressed. the
Sultan. on Deceuber IS, 1898. finally
promised to pay the claims. The claims
