PORTE SETTLES OLD CLAIMS.
American Requests Readily Granted
Since Warships Came.

Constantinople. Oct. 16.-Two more
claims of the American legation have
been satisfactorily settled, the more
important being the issue of a firman
granting to DR.. Banks permission to
excavate the ruins of Bismah. in Me-
sopotamia. The claim has been pend
ing for three years. its settlement being
constantly thwarted by a German pro-
fessor engaged in similar work.
The second question settled concerns
property beloning to the wife OF the
American consul at Smyrna, upon
which migrants have establishem
themselves, and which the government
now agrees to purchase. The nesotia-
tions regarding other questions be-
tween Turkey and the United States
are also making progress.
Some powers are showing irritation
at the prolonged stay of the American
warships at Beirut, but United States
Minister Leishman maintains an atti-
tude of patient and steady pressure and
is obtaining satisfaction for his de-
mands without any unnecessary blus-
ter. such as would be calculated to
trouble his friendly relations with the
Ottoman government.

States will carefully watch its interests
and refuse to permit anything TO be
done by Russia that may be detriment-
al to American commerce at the pres
ent time, 1t will not take any more act
i've part in affairs than that.
The United States will not depart
from it's traditional policy of neutrality
and non-interference Ia the political
concerns of other nations. Ii Will not
form anv alliances. Il will not join
forces with Russia. The two nations
directly involved must agree or fight,
but they Will not be able to entangle
he United States in the dispute.
But this does not mean that the
sylnpathies of the government of the
United States are not With Japan or
that they are with Russia. ON the con-
trary, in official circles, the announce
ment cabled from Yokohama that NJ.

Washington, Oct. 10. Notwith :
standing the more favrrable turn of
