Washington, Aug. 31.-Some ques-
ton has arisen as to whether CheklD
Bey is an actual minister of Turkey be-
cause his credentials have not been
presented and he has not yet been ON
cially received as minister by the Pres
ident. No point is made by the state
department on this account and Secfe-
tary Hay considers Cheklb Bey as the
minister of Turkey to the United States.
The presenting of the credentials Is d
mere formality, as the state depart
ment is aware that the minister mas
been duly accredited by his government
and has his credentials.
1t is said at the navy department, To-
cav. that although there are two col
liers now in Turkish waters, the
RrollIes and the Alexander, there prob
ABLY will be no necessity for holding
them in order to supply the European
suuadron with coal. All three of the
ships have their bunkers full and it
was said that this simply would last
them for some time and should any
emergency arise requiring the warships
to coal quickly they can do so at a
number of Mediterranean ports where
the government contracts with coal
dealers.
