WARSHIPS TO BACK DEMAND.
MlnUtor Lelshman Will Force Payment Re

Demonstration In Turklih Waters.
John G. A. Lclphtnnii. Tnlled Stales
minister to Turkey, will make his next
demand upon the sultan for the fnl
1'llmeiit of the promise to pay the $!H),-
(inn due this government, backed ny n
licet of American wnrshlps In Turkish
waters. Announcement of ' tills pro
gram was made nt Washington Sat
urday, neeonipanylng the formal ord
ers for the reorganization of the
L'uropenn naval pipinilron.
The re-cptttbllslimcnt of n naval
station lu F.uropenn waters will be of
considerable Importance to Knropn
nnd to American Interests lu that con
tinent. Hear Admiral Cromwell Is di
rected to proceed nt once to F.nrope
nml assume coinniiunl of the reor
ganized station. His squadron, for
the present, will consist of the pro
tected cruiser Chicago, flagship; the
protected cruiser Albany nnd the gun
boat Nashville, now en route for
Manila. A batttleshlp Will probably
be added to the squadron lu the fall.
Besides protecting Amerlenn In
terests nnd Impressing F.urope the new
squadron will be used to facilitate
the payment of claims now lu course
of negotiation, Turkey tins ngnln
promised Mr. Lelsliman that she will
pay the I'.Ml.lHSI Indemnity, to tho col
lection of which this government hns
beeen giving conshlernble attention for
more thnn a yenr. During the coming
winter the squadron will cruise lu the
Mediterranean nnd will call nt Turk
ish ports.
The presence of Amerlenn ships will
be tho signal for further representa
tions by Mr. Ielshmiiii In case the
claims are not paid lu the meantime,
nnd will probably have a beuetlchil
effect
