WORK FOR THE FLEET.

d.. Yesterday Mr. Leishnan received tele-
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 dispatch of the warships to Turkish
waters not solely to the Magelssen affair,
but to the general dissatisfaction of the
authorities at Washington at the nom
fulfillment of the Portes promises in re-
gard to pending questions and to the de
termination of President Roosevelt to
show Turkey that she cannot trthe with
American representations. Diplomatic cir
cles here generally approve. of the ener-
getic action of the United States. which,
it is pointed out, is amply justified by the
bad faith of Turkey, and 1t is felt here
that the appearance of. the United States
warships in Turkish waters. will lead 10
the immediate settlement Of the pending
disputes.
Nothing so. impresses the. Porte as a
naval demonstration and the diplomats
claim that this will be specially noticeable
in the present case, as the Americans are
not fettered, like other powers, by agree
ments regarding the international po-
liticar affairs of Turkey.
