Washington, Sept 23.-In case the
condition of affairs in Turkey will
justify the withdrawal of the cruisers
Brooklyn and San Francisco from Bel
rut and the gunboat Machias from Port
Said, where they have been for the
past few weeks, it is probable that all
three vessels, comprising the present
European squadron will be sent TO
Jibuti, a port on the east side of At
RIGA.
The purpose of this cruise Is to
show the interest taken by the United
States in the establishment of init
mate commercial relations with the
government of Abyssnia.
Mr.. Skinner, United States consul
general at Marseilles, who is to make
a personal visit to King Menelik at
his capital, Adis Abeba. in the noun
tains of the interior of his extensive
domains to conclude a commercial
treaty, is now in this country making
arrangements for his expedition, and
probably will start in about two or
three weeks for the Eastern Mediter-
ranean, from which region he will COM
plete his journey to Jibuti on one of
the vessels of Admiral Cottonis squad
ron.
In case it is decided to send the en-
tire squadron to the east coast of At
RIGA on this mission it will not be
necessary for them to leave their pres
ent stations for at least a month.

No cause is known why he should

Talamini has a Hebraic countenance,
