Turks Must Settle TP. President Wilh seeks power to press claims
The new administration weighs a vigorous policy to secure settlement of U S claims for destruction of missionary property and outrages during the Armenian uprising. President McKinley may send John W Foster as special envoy to Constantinople to compel payment and to secure trials for American citizens. Foster's mission could follow Minister Terrill's resignation with ambassadorial rank until work ends. The plan faces questions about rank, but aims to obtain redress for Harpoot, Marash, Hasquey, and Bitlis cases, and to gain consular recognition in Turkish cities. The push comes amid broader efforts to secure restitution and trials for Americans amid Turkish-Armenian troubles.
