one in the party to regain the sandbar
was Mary Timiny, eight years old.

saved herself, beyond the statement
that Il snatched my hand loose from

and soon found that could stand up
and that the water only came to my
knees"

UNITED STATES SENDS STRONG
MESSAGE TO THE SULTAN
OF TURKEY.
BREAKS All OF his PROMISES
EUROPEAN SQUADRON AND BAT.
TLEsHiP FLEET MAY BRING
HIM TO TIME.

1ty OF an imposing naval display
against the Turk as means of secur-
ing recognition of American rights
and settlement of American claims
was made probability yesterday by
the receipt of a dispatch from Minis
tor Leishman stating that the sultan
had failed to give a satisfactory re-
ply to the demands which recently
were presented to him.
Last Friday the sultan announced
that he would receive Mr.. Leishman
on Tuesday, and the nature of the
message was such that state depart
ment officials believed the sultan was
coming to terms. On Tuesday the
sultan postponed the interview until
Thursday
Breaks Every Promise.
There was no attempt to conceal
the indignation and anger aroused in
the state department by the sultan's
refusal to discuss the American de-
mands.
"The sultan has broken every one
OF his promises" said high state de-
partment official. There is nothing
for us to do but see what we can do
to make him keep them"
Minister Leishman was instructed
to notify the sultan that an immedi-
ate answer was demanded to the
questions presented to him. The
message Mr.. Leishman was told to
convey was very much in the nature
of an ultimatum. The battleship feet
was due at Gibraltar yesterday, and
was to sail at once for home. Orders
Barker to

for several days and not to start
home until he was ordered to do so.
1t was decided yesterday at the cab
met meeting, at which the situation
was fully discussed, that if satisfac-
tory reply is not received from the
sultan within a very few DAYS the
European squadron will be sent to
Turkish waters, with an implied
threat of bOmbardment or a seizure of
a port unless the American demands

will sail for Europe late in August.
Rear Admiral Barkers battleship
fleet consists of the Kearsarge, Ala
bama, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and
Maine.
So long as the ccr.h;red fleets were
in the eastern enc !. the Mediterran-
can the sultan appeared to be in
conciliatory mood. His change of
front is. attributed to the departure of
the warships and to the reports in
some American newspapers that the
administration was only "bluffing"
and had no intention of bringing pres
sure to bear on Turkey, no matter
what reply the sultan made. Cheike
Bey, the Turkish minister in Wash
ington, cabled to the sultan, on the
strength of these stories, that the
United States was only blufing.
