VICE-CONSUL
NOT KILLED
Was Shot at But Not
Injured.
SHIPS ARE NOT RECALLED
Situation So Serious a Naval Demon
stration in Turkish WatersS
Seems Advisable.

Washington, Aug Is. A decidedly new
turn Ia the case Of United States Vice
Consul William 9. Magelessen at Beirut,
Syria, who was reported to have been as
sassinated last Sunday, developed tonight
when il became known that the report
was incorrect, and although Mr., Magels-
sen had been shot at he had not even been
injured. This information came to the
state department tonight ii despatch
from Minister Lelshman at Constantinople.
The despatch from Mr. Leishman followed
closely on the Associated Press bulletin on
the same subject The despatch from the
minister was communicated at once to the
President at Oyster Bay. It's contents
were extremely gratifying TO the officials Of
the government here as It relieved the Sit
uation Of its extreme tension aud leaves
the way open for an amleable and a peace
ful adjustment OF the incident
The President announced, however, that
no change at present would be made in the
plans of this government and that the
European squadron would continue to
Beirut. It can be said that the President
and Secretary Of State Hay both regard it
advisable because Of the conditions to
have American war vessels in Turkish
waters
Mr.. Leishman states that Alacedo-
nian conditions are growing constantly
more acute and that the situation In
that section is extremely grave.
In his cable message TO Minister
Leishman last night regarding the re-
port Of the American board OF missions
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1903-08-29

shat an attempt had been made to burn
the Euphrates college buildings at kar-
put, Acting Secretary Loomis instruct
ed him to demand OF the Turkish gov
ernment that 1t take immediate steps
for the protection Of the lives of all
Americans,
The Brooklyn and San Francisco viii
proceed with all speed 70 Beirut and
viii not wait for the Machias which
is much slower vessel Acting Sec
retary Darling has teiegraphed the
commanding officer Of the Machias at
Genoa for him to follow the Brooklyn
to Port Said. where he Is TO coal and
await orders
The action Of Acting Secretary Dar-
ling in ordering the Brooklyn and san
Francisco TO proceed to Beirut with
out waiting for the Machias meets with
the hearty approval Of the state depart
ment The condition OF affairs and
the methods Of the Turkish govern
ment as already developed indicate to
officials here that only show Of force
win secure the redress demanded
only show of Force Needed.
Ii Is believed chat the dispatch DC
American war SLIPS TO the scene Of
the murder in such haste will con-
vince the sublime porte that the United
States means to make its demands ef-
fectlve. The American squadron will
be useful IN protecting Americans who
are located fiji tile disturbed districts at
Turkey and Macedonia, and further,
win furnish refuge for those who are
near the seacoast and may suffer from
the disorders,
Sir. Loomis has eabled Mr.. Leishman
that the Broolzlyn and San Francisco
win sail 1T once for Beirut and that
the 8Tachias win follow 'as quickly is
possible.
