Turmoil Prompted Note to the Sultans
A brief foreign dispatch reports a notice to the sultan expressing displeasure from this country. The missive signals diplomatic tension and potential subsequent communication between authorities and the Ottoman leadership.
Hay may push new diplomacy over Turkey debt
Washington reports Secretary Hay could seek passport dispatch to the Turkish minister if the sultan fails to pay a 100000 claim. Diplomats warn such action would be unprecedented and unlikely to force payment, given bondholders and European interests. Analysts say Congress retaliation or European interference would be required, but the Turkish treasury is described as chronically bankrupt. The sultan may also banish the American representative.
