Exequaturs Granted as Exile Crisis Grows in Istanbul
In Constantinople on December 11 the Porte issued exequaturs to Major Wal Witting and Major Bushnan as vice consuls for Vai and Sivas and for a British vice-consul. The sultan faced pressure from Nelidow, the Danish ambassador, and foreign powers over warships and treaties amid internal strife. Said Mashu offered to align with the sultan but warned against Turkish concessions, while the sultan demanded Said keep out of politics. A resolution followed with promises of protection and continued control within the empire, and a protest meeting presented an award to the Porte, though initial demands for broader concessions were resisted.
