GRAND NAVAL DISPLAY FOR SULTAN
Presence of Two squRdrOns In East
ern Waters May Make Things
More Easy For Our Rep
resentatiVe.

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.--The Amer
lean European squadron, commanded
by Rear Admiral c. T. Jewell sailed
from Villefranche, France, for Smyrna
yesterday morning to back up the en-
deayors of Minister Lelshman in be-
half of American citizens in the sui
tun's domains. The squadron will
await instructions Mt Smyrna. The trip
will take about three days.
Not only have these decisive orders
been given the European squadron, but
1t is expected the battlcship squadron,
which is due at Gibraltar today, will
be detained in that vicinity. If neces-
sary it will be sent to the eastern Medi-
terranean to re-enforce the cruiser
squadron.
Secretary Hay suggested the advisa-
Dihty Of sending a squadron to Turk
ish waters at the cabinet meeting. He
had then just received word of the fail
ure OF Minister Leishman to obtain
satisfaction from the sultan in an
swer to the American demands. The
cabinet-seoncluded the situation had
reached n stage that called for n naval
demonstration. President Roosevelt
was fully in accord with the idea Of
sending the squadron to the east.
1t is probable the battleship squad
ron would have been sent had 1t not
been at sea and out OF reach Of cable.
Under the circumstances il was felt
that no time was to be lost, and orders
We're given the European squadron,
The battleship squadron consists of
the modern battleships Kearsarge, Ala
bama, Iowa, Illinois, Maine and Mis-
souri,. 1t is commanded by Rear Ad-
miral Barker and is the most powerful
feet Of the navy. The European squad
ron consists of the protected cruisers
Olympia Baltimore and Cleveland.
The cruiser Des Moines. a sister ship TO
the Cleveland and new vessel, has
been added to the European quadron
and will start across the Atlantic on
Aug. 20.
Owing TO the unsatisfactory proceed
ure of the porte in meeting the requests
Of the American government, matters
have gradually approached a climax.
The dispatches from Mr.. Leishman the
American minister at Constantinople,
are Of the same tenor for many months
past-that he was unable TO obtain an
audience with the sultan in which he
could put before him the earnest re-
quest of Mr.. Hay. the secretary OF
state, that American citizens and insti-
tutions be given the same guarantees
and privileges accorded to France, Ger
many, Russia and Italy in the Ottoman
empire

WASHINGTON. Aug. S.-The state
ment has been made in high official
circles that contrary to the reports from
abroad the United States has not been
sounding the European governments
with Q view to ascertaining their views
of what should be considered contra
band in the present struggle between
Russia and Japan. This government
is determining for itself what classes
of merchandise it considers contraband
without suggestions from any other
power, and when a decision has been
reached its attitude on the subject will
be made public.
