OYSTER BAY. L. 1.. September 9——
President Roosevelt is watching the dc-
velopments ol‘ the situation in Turkey
carefully, but without serious appre-
hension. The reports made by Minis-
ter Leishman at Constantinople are not
disquieting in tone; on the contrary
the Minister is inclined to trike an op—
timistic view of the situation so far
as this country is concerned. The au-
ti-Christian outbreak is serious but it
is not regarded as likely that through
it American interests or American cit-
izens will suffer. Admiral Cotton. at
Beirut. in whom the administration has
great confidence. is clothed with am—
pie authority to afford such protection
to Americans and American interests
as he may deem necessary. This fact,
coupled with the assurance of the. Sub-
lime Porte that United States proper-
ty and people in Turkey are quite safe,
has tended to relieve the minds of
rPesident Roosevelt and Secretary Hay
from apprehension of serious conse-
quences. The vigilance of the United
States authorities will not be relaxed.

taken to insure the safety and protec-
