SPAEN's PROTEST is IGNORED
Violation of American Rights in Neu-

Washington, June 20.-Sacking OF
the American hospital at Tabrlz, Fer
STA, and seizure of the American anu
British consulates there by invading
Turkish troops was reported TO the
state department by the American
minister at Teheran. If the report as
it reached the minister is ofhclally
confirmed the outrageS may be con
sidered an act of war and settle tue
long-pending question of whether or
not the Ottoman allies of Germany
should be formally listed among enc
mics of the United States.
According to the dispatch the turks
sacked the hospital over the protest
of the Spanish consul, in charge as
representative of American interests
and in defiance of the Spanish nag ny
ing over the building.
Is Missionary Institution.
The hospital at Tabriz is Presby-
terrain missionary institution estaD-
lished several years ago. Many Amer
lean doctors and nurses have been sta-
toned there, but for several months
the situation has been so serious thaF
the force has been greatly reduced
and few days ago it was reported 10
the state department that the last
American had gone.
According to the best information
obtainable here, the Turkish force
about Tabriz is small, not exceeding
a few thousand at most. British
force is operating not far south OF
Tabriz. Fighting between Turks occu-
plying that city and the British force
is expected daily.
Aid to MetteI-Europa.
Diplomats here no longer entertain
the view that COnStantinOple may be
persuaded to withdraw from the war.
The Turkish policy now is directed, on
the contrary, to the consolidation OF
Turkeys conquest of Russian terri
tory and to the realization of pan
Turanian dreams, a movement which
is in consonance with the Mittel-Eu-
ropa dream of the Germans.
Turkeys violation of American
rights in a neutral country is expect
ed to strengthen the view of congress-
men and senators who desire declar.
alton of war.
1t is thought that the formal inclu.
sion of Turkey among Americas en-
emies would lead to the simultaneous
recognition of state of war with Bull
garia which is bound to the central
powers more closely than ever by the
peace of Bucharest and it's conditions,
which, while giving a portion of the
spoils to Bulgaria, that the latter
claimed, is Withholding part which
