TURKEY TO BUY WARSHIP.
Negotiating With Argentine Govern
ment for Powerful Vessel.

Officials at the State and Navy depart
ments are interested in reports from
Contantinople that negotiations between
Selih Bey, Turkish minister of marine
and tie Argentine government, for the
purchase of powerful warship have
reached an advanced stage 1t is thought
here that If the Turkish government is
negotiating with Argentina for a war
ship the latter government must have in
mind the sale of one of the two Argen-
tine naval vessels now building in the
United States. since its present navy
consists in the main of two old coast de-
fense ships and four old armored cruis-
ers. Although the prospective sale could
be cOnsummated, the warship could not
be delivered to Turkey until peace has
been made between that government and
