Will Pay up Turkish settle American mission claims
Washington says officials will not issue a statement but believe Turkey will pay the American mission claims under a contract with the Cramps for a warship. The settlement would allow the battleship Kentucky to proceed to Manila or return to Tangier to aid the consul in the indemnity case. Capt. Chester's Constantinople visit was unofficial and may prompt representations to the Porte.

Marconi patent dispute blocks wireless telegraphy in UK
The government cannot use Marconi's patented processes without infringing the act, creating a deadlock that can only be broken by a financial settlement with the Marconi company. If not settled, wireless telegraphy in the United Kingdom seems impossible for 14 years. The admiralty has bought the right to use the Marconi apparatus, while Marconi himself stays at Poole harbor focusing on system details.
