ny ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Constantinople, Sept. 1.-The porte has
aotifed Minister Lcishman that five ar
rests have been made at Beirut in connec-
ton with the shooting which led to the re-
port that William c. Magelssen, United
States vice and deputy consul there, had
been assassinated.
The Turkish officials continue to insist
that no attempt was made OH the vice con-
sul's life, and they reassert that the whole
story originated in fcu deh joie fired ON
the occasion OF the native marriage and
in accordance with custom.
Wants Furtherr Proof.
Mr.. Leishman refuses to accept such an
explanation without conclusive proof.
The attempt to burn the American col
lege at kharput occurred five weeks ago
and apparently was the work of an in
dividual who considered he had griev-
ance against the college authorities.
When Mr.. Lcishman was informed OF
the attempt he demanded that the porte
protect the American institution and i'll
consequence of his representations instruc-
tions were sent to the authorities at Khar-
put 10 try in the regular courts the charges
against so Armcnians accused Of traffick-
ing in arms and engaging in other sedi-
tious acts.
Among the Accused.
Among the accused is Prof Teneked-
jian of the American college whose treat
ment in prison pending his trial was also
ordered to be improved.
Mr.. Leisnman is pressing for a definite
settlement of a number of matters on
which agreements were reached with the
Turkish authorities last year, but which, in
spite Of frequent promises on the part OF
the porte have never been executed.
For instance, naturaized American is
still in prison at Tripoli, Syria, although
the porte has frequently informed Mr..
Leishman that the authorities at Beirut,
who have jurisdiction over Tripoli had
been ordered to lihcrate him.
Telegram From Cotton.
Yesterday Mr.. Lcishman received tcle-
gram from Rear Admiral Cotton, dated
from Genoa, Italy, Sunday evening, an
nouncing that the United States warships
Brooklyn and San Francisco would arrive
off Beirut at the end OF the week.
The American officials here attribute the
despatch OF the warships to Turkish waters
not solely to the Magelsen affir, but to
the general dissatisfaction of the auihori-
ties at Washington at the non-fulhlment
of the portc's promises in regard to pend
ing questions and to the determination Of
President Roosevelt to show Turkey that
she cannot trihe with American rcpresen-
tatons.
Approval Of Diplomats.
Diplomatic circles here generally approve
of the energetic action of the United
States, which, it is pointed out, is amply
justified by the bad faith Of Trrkey, and
1t is felt here that the appearance of the
United States warships in Turkish waters
will lead to the immediate settlement Of
the pending disputes.

 A joint meeting of this committee from Cincinnati. which is composed of promi- nent white ministers and laymen, and local men interested in securing the col lege for Birmingham, will be held this morning at 10 o'clock, probably in the front room at the city hall. Some enter tainment will be provided for the visitors.
 The committee from Cincinnati consists of Bishop J. M. Walden, John Pearson, w. J. Boyd, George B. Johnson, II. C. Jennings and M. c. B. Mason. The visit of the committee Is made as a result of the committee from Birmingham which went to Cincinnati recently to urge that the college be built here.
 Since the Birmingham committee re- turned home the negroes have been very active and have raised nearly 5000 toward bringing the school to Birmingham. This will be one of the largest negro colleges in the south, and will train colored youth very much along the lines adopted at Tuskegee.
