President Watching Turkish Affairs.
Acting Secretary LOOMS has cabled
to Minister Leishman, at CONSTANT

the porte to take adequate measures
| for the protection of all United States
ans at Beirut, and to prevent any at

Acting Secretary LOOMS has re-
from Minister Leishman, in which the
latter stated that he had called at the
Turkish foreign Office at Constantine
pie to inquire about the assassination
of the United State vice consul, and
that the minister of foreign affairs en-
report. He also attempted to dis
credit it. The cablegram gave no
other information. Under the circum.
stances the state department officials
are inclined to believe that the Turk

the situation at Beirut. They do not
attach sufficient Importance to Min

Demand Made on the Sultan for Re-

to Beirut.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-Prompt and
vigorous action is being taken. by the
United States government to secure
the punishment of persons Implicated
in the assassination of United States
Vice Consul William c. Magelssen, at
Beirut, Syria, Sunday last Minister
Leishman, at Constantinople, who re-
ported the fact to the state depart
ment, has been instructed by the state
department to demand a thorough in
vestigation of the affair and the pun
ishment of those involved in the
crime, and the European squadron,
consisting of three warships, has been
ordered to proceed imediately to Beirut
to support the demands of the United
States minister, should this be found
necessary.
Immediate Orders to Cotton.
This latter measure was determined
upon as result of conferences which
have been held over the telegraph and
telephone wires between the officials
here during the day and the evening
with the president at Oyster Bay. The
latter felt that no time should be lost
in dispatching Admiral Cotton's
squadron to Turkish waters, and he
gave instructions to Acting Secretary
Darling that immediate orders be CIV
en- Admiral Cotton to proceed at
once.
Further Reason for Action.
The presidents determination to
lose no time in getting the squadron
to Beirut was also due in part to in
formation received by Acting Secre-
tary Loomis, of the state department,
from the president of the American
Board of Missions at Boston, indicat-
ing that an attempt had been made to
burn the Euphrates college building at
Harpoot. This dispatch said: "Infor-
nation just received that an attempt
| has been made to burn the Euphrates
college buildings. Conditions increas-
ingly alarming. Great anxiety felt for
the safety of American citizens there"
