TALKS WITH HAY.
Russian Representative Sees seore'
tary of State.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-Cheklp
Bey. the Turkish minister, had long
interview today with Secretary Hay.
The minister refused TO discuss the
interview, stating that he has nothing
TO communicate regarding the matter.
After the interview Secretary HAY Wis
tied the navy department.
If the Turkish minister requested
that the European squadron be Kept
away from Turkish waters, his request
cannot be granted in all Likelihood,
even should this government desire
to accede TO it, as the navy department
says that it will be impossible to COM
municate with the Brooklyn or San
Francisco until they arrive at Beirut.
Chekib Bey assured Secretary Hay
that the Turkish government had done
nothing wrong and will use every en-
deavor to protect American citizens
residing in Turkey. He also discussed
the conditions OF the insurrection in
Turkey, and said that the Turkish gov
eminent was not responsible for any
of the disasters that had occurred.
Secretary Hays call upon Acting
Secretary Darling was for the purpose
of ascertaining the whereabouts of the
European squadron and also what
their orders are. There is no inten-
ton of changing any orders at pres
ent, especially as the ships cannot be
reached until they arrive at Beirut.
Late dispatches from Minister
Leishman give in detail the conditions
in Turkey and do not differ materially
in tone from those previously sent.
Minister Leishman does not, as report
ed in some quarters, request the with
drawal of the American ships from
Turkish waters.
While reports by way OF London
state that no attempt was made upon
the life OF Nice-Consul Magelssen, Of
fetal advices so far received show that
such an attempt was made. The pres
ent status was known before the ships
left Genoa and this government de-
cided not to change the orders.
1t is now stated, however, that
should there be a calm and peaceful
condition at Beirut when the ships
arrive there, the matter of sending
them to another port will be cOnsid-
cred and possibly adopted.
The Turkish minister made no re-
quest upon Hay at the interview today
regarding the movement of the United
States war vessels, and nothing in this
matter was promised by the state de-
partment
