Washington, Dee. 17.-Acting Secre-
tary Of state Adee has taken firm
stand in the matter Of the assault upon
United States Consul w. r. Davis by
Turkish officials and police at Alexan-
dretta. He has cabled Minister Leish-
man to present the facts to the Turk
ish government and inform it that the
case is one seeming to invite an express
sion of regret and reparation. The
state department does not indicate
what measure of reparation is expect
ed, but it is understood that the Turk
ish government certainly will, by re-
moval or otherwise, punish the offend
ing Turkish officials at Alexandretta
and compensate Attarlan for the losses
and injuries he has sustained.
The Turkish government is willing
to compensate Attarian and deport him.
1t is understood that the main offense
is the assault upon the United States
consul matter of gravity in interna-
tional law. The consul has found ref
uge for the time being at Beirut, await
ing Instructions from the state depart
ment or from Minister Leishman as to
whether or not he shall return to his
post.
The information that has reached the
department is to the effect that Mr..
Davis was acting entirely within his
rights and powers and that while en-
gagged in protecting, as was his duty,
naturalized American citizen he was
set upon by five Turkish policemen and
dragged along the ground. 1t also APP
pears incidentally that upon recovering
his footing the consul promptly and
soundly thrashed all five of the police
men.
Mr.. Leishman. our minister at Con-
stantinople. under the departments in.

into the assault, and, while the detailed
mail report Of the result Of his inves.

Washington, Dec 17.-At the in.
stance Of Secretary Moody, Brigadier
General George F. Elliott, commandant
OF the marine corps, has issued orders
for the formation Of new battalion
Of marines, to be known as the Carib-
bean sea battalion. This battalion will
be regularly attached to the Caribbean
sea squadron, though its immediate
destination is Colon. 1t will be assem-
bled at Philadelphia as rapidly as pos
sible, and the Dixie already has left
Colon to return to that place with the
new battalion.
Rear Admiral Coghlan in a cable
gram to the navy department dated
Colon, Dec. Is, says that all is quiet on
the northern coast. 1t is assumed
from Admiral Coghlan's dispatch that
the Atlanta and the Mayhower have
completed their reconnoiter and that he
is thereby enabled to give the depart
ment positive information regarding
conditions on the northern coast.
Eneet OF Loomis' speech.
The speech Of Assistant Secretary Of
State Loomis at the banquet Of the
Quill club in New York, in which he
laid bare some pertinent facts regard
Ing the attitude Of Colombia toward
the Hay Herran treaty, was the sub
ject of considerable gossip here, and
there was much speculation as to the
effect it would have on the future
course Of General Reyes, the special
envoy Of Colombia, now in Washing
ton. General Reyes admitted that he
had read Mr.. Loomis' address, but dc
clined to make a statement. II am q
diplomat" said he, and it would III
become me to make any comment
General Reyes is still engaged in the
preparation Of the statement he will
submit to the state department and
while refusing to disclose the nature Of
1t, said that much Of 1t will be devoted
to an argument setting out the reasons
why the United States should see to il
that Panama shall assume her SHIRE OF
the Colombian debt. General Reyes is
uncertain when he win file the docu
ment with the department, but be
thought IL would be within the next
few days
