BIC GUNS M United States Cruisers Have Dropped Anchor Off Beirut. The Brooklyn and the San Francisco Are on the Scene of the Recent Magelssen Incident. Specific Orders Have Not Yet Deen Forwarded to Admiral Cotton. Beirut, Syria. Sept. 5. —The United States cruisers Brooklyn and San Francisco have arrived here. Washington, Sept. s.—The disposition of the cruisers Brooklyn and San Francisco of Admiral Cotton's squadron. just arrived at Beirut, has not yet been finally determined by the administration. No orders regarding the future movements of the vessels have BFAB AUMTW*T. COTTON. been sent to Admiral Cotton, and much will depend on the character of the report he makes concerning conditions in and about Beirut and on the presentations which may ccme from the minister as to the necessity for the presence of American war vessels in Turkish waters to look after the protection of the interests of the citizens of the United States in the sultan's domain. , CHEKIB BEY HEARS That His Government Is Proceeding In the Magelssen Affair. Washington, Sept. 5. —Chekib Bey, Turkish minister, called on SecretaryHay to inform him that he had received from his foreign office official advices to the effect that the American consul at Beirut was entirely satisfied with the measures Turkey had taken to protect life and property there and to investigate and act with respect to the assult on Vice Consul Magelssen. The port# In advising the foreign embassies and legations of the measures taken to protect them, added a warning against Bulgarian bandits who might attempt to elude the Turkish guards and attack the foreigners from within. It is a matter of some comment that there are only about 200 marines with the European squadron, but these, with the kavsses already in the service of the legation, and with the Turkish guards assigned to Minister Lelsh man will, it is believed, prove sufficient for any emergency likely to arise. Officials of the state department, commenting on the item from Paris saying that ships of foreign powers would he gent tn Tnrkf«b waters qt->» ed that the United States was now sending ships to Turkish waters. The term "Turkish waters." does not mean Constantinople, they say, and while the whole eastern portion of the Mediterranean might be covered with warships, It was possible that none of them would force the Dardanelles. After the Crimean war a treats was made which has been followed by subsequent treaties which prohibits war ships from entering the Dardanelles without the consent of Turkey, and Turkey must have the assent of ail the signatory powers. In 1868 Admiral Farragut with the flagship Franklins was Invited and ascended the Dardanelles and the powers protested Then It was determined that no vessel of war could enter the Dardanelles There Is a proviso, however, that In ease Turkey Is at war with another power she might admit the ships of s friendly power. This, It is said here, is directed at Russia. In 1890 Turkey, tinder the treaty, refused to allow either the Martiehead or the Bancroft. American warships, to enter the Dardanelles. Small ■hips of other natlors are allowed In the Bosphorus which have been sent through the Dardanelles, but these are called legation vessels and rated of little Importance. However, they carry sailors which may be used for legation guards at any time. It is believed that In case the United States desired to send a launch or small ves ■el with a guard for the American le gallon. Turkey would have a right tr. admit them to the Dardanelles without consulting and obtaining the per mis ■ion of the powers.
