LEisHMAN REPORTS
Cables the State Dept that Americans
Are Not Safe In Turkey

E
Oyster Bay, Aug. 2s.--It developed to-
day that the cablegram from Minister
Leishman at Constantinople, transmitted
late last night to President Roosevelt,
contained, in addition to a statement OF
the incorrectness Of the announced as
sassination Of Vice Consul Magelssen at
Beirut, an important report upon the sit
uation In the Ottoman empire. Minister
Leishman takes q serious view OF con-
ditions in Turkey. He wears serious
trouble and indicates his belief that
American interests and American lives are
in peril on account Of the fanattclsm OF
the Mussulman population.
The report confirmed information re-
ceived by President Roosevelt and Secre-
tary Hay from unofficial sources. For
these reasons it was decided by the pres
ident that Admiral Cotton's squadron
should proceed to Turkish waters, in &C
cordance with his original orders, not
withstanding the inaccuracy of the report
Of the assault on Magelssen. In any event
that was regarded by this government
only as an incident. The fact that the
assault upon the consul was not attended
by fatal result simply modified the &C
ton Of the United States by removing
one serious phase of q situation thai
may soon become intolerab1e.
It has not been decided whether Ad-
rniral Cotton's squadron will rendezvous
at Beirut as originally ordered. It's des-
tination will be determined by develop
ments.-
/ Secretary Of the Treasury Shaw, after
conference with the president far into
the night left to-day on an extended triI
thru the middle west. He will deliver two
or three addresses and probably will moi
return to Washington before Sept. IL.

Thursdays drifting match storm broke
out and ragged about Sandy Hook. The
water was tunbled into waves that

40 and SO miles and the rain driven before

two.
Within the sheltering bend Of Sandy

At Z o'clock the regatta committee met
at the New York Yacht club house and
decided to postpone the race for the day.
tLater-the committee named Monday as
the day for the next race. It was also de-
cided to hold the races every day there
after until the international contest is
decided.
+, The decision to race every week day
was reached by mutual agreement between
the challenge committees Of the New
York and Royal Ulster Yacht clubs.
prominent member Of the yacht club
said this morning that he was in favor
Of race Monday and now that Sir
Thomas has openly expressed himself up
on the abilities of both boats, and ac-
knowledged himself defeated, 1t was
thought advisable by many Of the mem-
bers Of the yacht club that the race be
sailed Monday and the series completed
as soon as possible.

tails. informing them that 1t would be I'M
just to hold the insurgents responsible
for every dynamite outrage that takes
place In the Turkish vilayets.
THE Turk has learned that Europe Is
disposed to condemn these occurrences
and so charges them up to the revolutions
lists" says one Of these dispatches, tho
many of them are the work Of the sui
tan's forces. The Turk thinks he may
probably throw a little dynamite himself
in his own cause, especially where he sees
chance to murder women and children.
The insurgents admittedly are driven, by
the barbarities Of their oppressor, to
adopt merciless expedients. However,
they use the utmost care as far as pos
sible, to keep the destructive agencies
leveled against their enemies and not
against women and children. We hear
that benign Europe threatens to with
draw it's sympathy from US If we persist
in fighting fire with fire. What impu-
dent cant! Europe's sympathy for us
crystallizes into a stubborn attempt to
rivet the Turkish yoke upon our necks."

race for 2-year-olds partial to heavy

Sheepshead Bay over a track SO deep in

The bugle will call to- the post nineteen
2-year- olds, the best that America can

great event. Several Of the nineteen will

owners sdeing slight hope Of the $4,000

Some may be drawn to save the $3.50 1t

fear of injuring precious horsefiesh over

Washington, Aug. 2s.-Now that he
finds out he is alive, Vice Consul
Magelssen at Beirut will probably hail the
wide advertising he has received in this
country with glad acclaim. Yesterdays

columns about him, all Of the most oom-
plimentary character. The press Of the
entire country and Of the civilized world
has sounded his praises, and for his sta
tion in life he Is probably now the best

But what's more important, the atten-
ton Of the president has been called to
his good points and fine record, and it is
dollars to dimes that he will receive a
