Russia.
Constantinople, Feb. Alt came to
light here today that Japan has made
Turkey an offer for the purchase OF
the new armored cruiser Medjidie,
recently completed for the Sultan by
the Cramp Shipbmlding company, at
Philadelphia The Medjidie is expect
ed to arrive in Turkish waters about
the middle Of next month and as she
developed speed on her trial trip OF
fully 20 knots an hour she would be q
valuable acquisition to the Japanese
navy.
The Japanese government offered a
substantial advance over the purchase
price Of the cruiser and the sultan and
his advisers considered the offer at
length but reluctantly came to the
conclusion that II they sold to Japan,
Russia would be angered and might
undertake reprisals. For this reason
the offer was reluctantly refused, the
Turkish officials stating to Japan that
they might soon have need of the yes.
sci themselves.
The news of the Russian reversals
have been received with great enthu-
siasm throughout Turkey and the sale
of the Medijide to japan would please
a large percentage of the population
If it could be arranged without plac-
ing Turkey in the position of violating
the neutrality laws.
