leading from the street for the reception

CHESTER'S TRIP. IS RESPONSE

Cruiser After Information
at First Hand.

London, Nov. S.-A Turkish official
told the New York Sun correspondent
that Turkeys note with reference to
the Tripoli massacre had been ad-
dressed solely to the United States.
Turkey was satisfied from the previ-
Gus attitude of Europe that it was use
less to appeal to the concert of ma
tons.
The official said that the dispatch
Of the United States scout cruiser
Chester to Tripoli was in response to
the note, but declined to give the
notes contents. He explained that
Americas independence of the Euro
pean situation and the part she had
taken In the Russo-Japanese war con-
stituted the reason for Turkeys ap.
peal.
He declared that the response OF
the United States had been received,
was satisfactory, and that there was
optimism at Constantinople over the
result.
It was said that the Chester was to
ascertain from the American consuls
and others the facts regarding the
massacre and 1t was expected that the
commanders report would be COM
municated to other nations. It was
denied that the action of Turkey indi-
Gated that Turkey desires mediation in
the sense of accepting the loss of Tri-
poll. The official added that 100000
Turks and Arabs would invest the
Tripoli littoral, probably within a
week.
