Causes American Flag at Alex

Consul Davis Leaves f.r Beyrut-A
Serious Diplomatic Situation.
Uncle San, Can Be Depended on to
Demand Satisfaction.

! Sonstantinople, Dec. S.-The United
States flag over the consulate at Alex
andretta, Asatic Turkey, has been
hauled down and Consul Davis has left
his post for Beyrut in consequence of q
serious diplomatic incident during
which Mr. Davis was insulted and as
saulted by the local police.
| The affair grew out OF the arrest IF
an Armenian, Channes Attarian. a
| natliraliZed American citizen.
Attarian had been in prison at Allen
po during the past two months and had
Just been liberated through the inter-
Vention OF the American consular agent
on condition of his leaving the counfrv
forthwith. Mr.. Davis was accompany-,
ING Atarian OIL board departing
steamer when the police Intercepted
me party assaulted ana insulted Mr..
laws and in spite of the resistance of
'he consul ana his attendant guards, re-
arrested Attarian and took him back to
PRISON. MI. Davis Immediately lowered
the nag over the consulate and formal
~ broke Off relations with the Turkish
authorities by quitting Alexandretta.
ieavlng the consulate in charge of the
vice consul mob of Moslems seized
on the occasion to make a hostile dem
ohstfation against the consulate and
against the Christians generally.
Inc LEGAL authorities assert that Mr..
DAVIS struck the police with a cane and
mat after the rearrest of Attarian the
consular cavasses (mlitary courjers,
attempted to rescue him and that in the
fracaS which ensued the cavasses broke
the windows of the prison.
The Turkish authorities further claim
That AttGrian. who is n native of Diar.

ing about the country with an Illegal
passport. They also point out that the
question of Armenians naturalizedA IN
America returning 20 Turkey has al
ways been n source of trouble as The
Porte invariably refuses to recognl..
natura liza tion.
When Attarian was arrested $500 was
found in his pockets. This. il is be-
lieved, may nave contributed to his ar
rest, the Turks suspecting him of be-
ing 4 rcvolutionist.
The matter is engaging the energetic
attention of the United States legation
here. Minister Leischman has made
urgent representations to The Porte
and is now waiting Il fuller report be-
fore taking further steps.
The outrage. it is anticipated here,
will lead to a strong action on the part
