The Secretary arrived here from his summer home in New Hampshire at
12:20 p. m. In a driving rainstorm he was conveyed to the President's home in
time for luncheon. During the greater part of the afternoon he was In confer
ence with the President. He left Sagamore Hill about 4:30 o'clock. He took
the 5 o'clock train for New York and will go thence to Washington to-night
At 11 o'clock to-night a telegram was received by Secretary Loeb from Act
ing Secretary of State Loomis at Washington, communicating the text of a ca
blegram from Minister Leishmann at Constantinople, confirming the report of
the inaccuracy of the story of Consul Magelesen's assassination. As soon as
the message was deciphered Secretary Loeb communicated its contents to the
President by telephone, i Mr. Leishmann explains that the error occurred in
deciphering a. telegram received from Consul Ravndahl, at Beirut, concerning the
attempt upon the life of Vice Consul Magelssen. The text of Minister Lelsh
mann's cablegram Is not made public here.
It can be said to be the purpose of President Roosevelt to afford American
citizens in the disturbed province of Turkey all the protection possible. For
that reason, and others that may develop In a short time, the decision is
reached that no change will be made at this time in the orders to the European
squadron. Admiral Cotton will proceed with his vessels to Turkish waters with
the idea of safeguarding American Interests.
- The fact that- Secretary Hay considers his presence in Washington neces
sary at this time indicates the serious view he takes of the Turkish situation. He
had not expected to return to Washington for several weeks, but the, develop
ments in the Ottoman empire during the past few days induced. him .to come to
Oyster Bay for a conference with the President, after which it was deemed ad
visable by both that he should return to Washington at least for a couple
of weeks.
For several hours to-day President Roosevelt and Secretary of State Hay were
in conference at Sagamore Hill. They discussed every suggested phase of the
situation in Turkey. At the conclusion of the conference Secretary Hay an
nounced his intention of returning Immediately to Washington.

Acting Secretary of the Navy Darling to-night received a cablegram from
the admiral dated Villefranche, saying that he had left that place with the
cruisers Brooklyn and San Francisco for Genoa, on the way to Beirut.
The latest development in the Turkish situation . was discussed in official
circles, where the view was held that the denial of the report of the killing
of Mr. Magelssen relieved the situation of its Immediate awkward and em
barrassing features, but will not prevent our naval vessels continuing to the
East. Minister. Leishmann, in one of his dispatches to the department, sug
gested that conditions were such that it might be well to have some American
naval demonstration in those waters. Reports also have come to the Govern
ment from the mlsBionary Interests of threatened destruction of their property
at Harpoot, and because of this Admiral Cotton .will be allowed to proceed with
his vessels to Beirut. >YV •
The dispatch from the Minister was communicated at - once to President
Roosevelt at Oyster Bay. Its contents were extremely gratifying to the officials
of the Gvernment, as it relieved the situation of its extreme tension and leaves
the way open for an amicable and peaceful adjustment of the Incident. Acting
Secretary of State LoomiB declined to make public the text of Minister Lelsh
mann's dispatch to-night, but he gave a summary of ita contents. As stated
in the press dispatches it showed that Mr. Magelssen had been shot at by some
person at the time unknown to the officials, but that he had not been hit.
Local Turkish official* w^re prompt to express their regret at the occur
rence and were exerting themselves to apprehend the assassin, but thus far
had been unsuccessful. The Minister's dispatch also said -that Consul Ravn
dahl had reported to him that some of the foreign Consuls located at Beirut had
reported to their governments • that the Bltuatlon at that placo had become ex
ceedingly unsafe; that this condition of affairs had existed for some time and
that something ought to be done to relieve the tension. The S opinion was ex
pressed that the attemDted assassination of Magelssen probably would bring
matters to a "focus, the attention of the Turkish Government being drawn to
the matter in this forclbl* way and some effort would be made to avoid further
trouble. t
This information came to the State Department to-night in a dispatch from
United States Minister Leishmann at Constantinople, who said the mistako In
making the original announcement was due to an error' in the transmission
of the cipher dispatch from Consul Ravndahl at Beirut in reporting the Incident
to the Minister.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.— A decidedly new turn in the case of United States
Vice Consul William C. Magelssen, at Beirut, Syria, who was reported to have
been assassinated last Sunday, developed to-night when it became known that
the report was incorrect and that, although Mr. Magelssen had been shot at,
he had not even been . injured.

FIREMEN INJURED.
The members of No. 6 engine also per
formed heroic work. Five men rushed
',:«eir hose through the burning building
occupied by Markley & Winner, at 551
Brannan street, and battled with the
flames. On every side of the men charred
timbers were falling. Over their heads
ihi flooring, was burning fiercely. Spec
tators marveled at their courage and
wondered how long they could stay with
out being injured. The brave fellows
r.ever le f t their posts. They kept a wary
lookout .or falling walls and Chief Sulli
van did likewise. He was mindful of the
danger of his men and also saw the ad
vantage they had in keeping the flames
from spreading to the Herring Planing
MilL
During the progress of the fire mem
bers cf No. 8 truck climbed the shed over
the planing mill owned by Voigt & Veyhle
at 541 Brannan street and fought the fire.
They wore unmindful of trie fact that
the building beneath them was burning.
They stayed at their pest amid the ter
rific heat and the only relief they re
ceived was from the spray that spread
from their hose. T..eir clothes steamed
v.lth heat end their faces were scorched
but the- remained until the chief called
them oft.
The heit from the fire was so great
that! the glasses In the buildings on the
Jicrth s'.de of Brannan street were broken
and the paint blistered. It was feared
that the parochial house of St. Rose's
parish and the church itself was in dan
ger of destruction and the pastor and his
assistants were ready to move valuables
to a place of safety. However, the fire
men prevented the fire from crossing the
street. 1 lere was a wind blowing, but
It blew to the south. The condition of
the wind aided the department materially
in subduing the flames.
HEAT WAS TERRIFIC
Chief Sullivan was early on the scene
and directed the energies of his men to
saving surrounding property. In this he
was eminently successful. He succeeded
in keeping the fire penned between Rich
ard Herring's mill at 569 Brannan street
and the Progressive Planing Mill Com
pany at 523 Brannan street, both of which
were saved.
The engines worked in tandem and
pumped powerful streams of water
through the long lines of hose that tilled
the streets. One battery was stationed in
front of the burning structures and the
other in the rear. The batteries did won
derful execution. As many as six hose
were attached and the force of water that
•Ras sent through the giants was sufficient
to batter d«iwn walls.
vrhen the alarm came In for box 6S the
lire was burning fiercely in George
Braendlein's furniture manufacturing
plant at 547 Brannan street. Emil Coret,
a Morse patrolman, discovered the blaze
and immediately turned in the alarm. As
soon rs the District Chief arrived he saw
the magnitude of the fire and turned'in
a combination alarm from the same box.
This alarm was the third and fourth and
called ourt nineteen engines, five trucks,
t-.-o chemicals, the water tower and two
batteries.
FIRE IS DISCOVERED.
Chief Sullivan and h!s brave ftr«nen
proved themselves heroes at'the big con
flagration on Brannan street, between
Fourth and Fifth, last night. They bat
tled -the flames from all sides, and despite
the fact that inflammable material fed
the fire, succeeded in extinguishing it
within two hours after the first alarm
came in. From a spectacular point of
view the fire was well worth seeing,
names leaped high in air and the sky
v is Ut up for blocks xrith a rpd glow
wnich attested the fierceness of the flre.
Thousands of people rushed to the scene,
but were held in check by the police and
tfr, firemen had a splendid chance to
prove the efficiency of the department.
Beneath burning roefs the men stood at
their post of duty playing heavy -streams
on the -ipidly spreading Dames. In the
terrific i.eat the firemen fought the fire
and theiv efforts were successful. During
all the turmoil incident to a. flre. Chief
U.lllvari was everywhere, giving his or

obeyed. He directed the men, from the

shortly follow in case Turkey refuses to

that event the Amertcan Legation will be

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.— If Turkey
does not promptly comply with each and
every demand of the "Washington Govern
ment Rear Admiral Cotton will be in
structed at once to seize one or more
ports and hold them until the American
demands are granted.

It is believed that the dispatch of war
ships to the- scene orihe attempted mur
der in such haste will convince the Sub
lime Porte that the United States means
to make all its demands effective. The
American squadron will be useful in pro
tecting Americans and will furnish a ref
uge for those who are near the seacoast.
Another ungent appeal has reached the
State Department from the American
Board of Missions at Boston that ade
quate steps be taken for the protection
of American citizens at Beirut. The
board's dispatches from there Jor several
days have represented the situation as
extremely grave. There are at the Eu
phrates College at Marpoot four American
teachers, besides women and children,
and property to the value of $100,000. There
is an American college at Beirut in which
are a number of American teachers. No
word has reached the State Department
regarding any attack on them.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 28.— Minister
Leishman has cabled the State Depart
ment that he called at the Foreign Of
fice again last night and presented the
American demand for an immediate in
vestigation of the attempted assassina
tion of Vice Consul Magelssen at Beirut.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs, while
denying all knowledge of the affair and
attempting to discredit the report, on
the insistence of Mr. Leishman prom
ised that a.n immediate investigation
would follow and that the Turkish Gov
ernment would take immediate steps to
find out and punish the guilty.
Mr. Leishman stated that Macedonian
conditions are growing constantly more
acute, and that the situation in that
section is extremely grave.
In his cablegram to Mr. Leishman last
night regarding the report of the Amer
ican Board of Missions that an attempt
had been made to burn the Euphrates
College building at Harpoot. Acting Sec
retary Loomis instructed him to demand
of the Turkish Government that it take
immediate steps for the protection of
the lives of all Americans there.
TURKEY TO INVESTIGATE.
Demands Made by the American
Minister Are He%ded.
It is pointed out that the United States
is independent of European agreements
regarding Turkey and . that -no matter
what policy she may adopt in regard to
the attempted assassination of Magelsscn
or the unrest at Karput. it will not be in
tervention in the international affairs of
Turkey.
The officials of the Turki3h embassy say
the Sultan will undouotedly institute an
immediate investigation if he has not al
ready done so. The embassy deprecates
the dispatch of an Amertcan squadron to
Turkish waters as tending to encourage
the revolutionists, who. the embassy de
clares, have been eagerly seeking for some
time to embroil the Turkish and American
governments.
LONDON*, Aug. 2S.-The Foreign Of
fice has received a dispatch from the
British Consul at Beirut notifying
the authorities of the attempted as
sassination of William C. Magelssen,
the United States Vice Consul at that
place. No details are given, and this to
gether with the fact that there have been
no developments since the attempted as
sassination was reported lead the British
officials to conclude that no anti-foreign
uprising has occurred.
The Foreign Office declares that Great
Britain will certainly not and that It is
not likely that any other power will raise
an objection to summary action on the
part of the United States, but will watch

PARIS. Aug. 28.— It is officially stated
here that if an American squadron
should go to Turkish waters the ac
tion of the United States will not be
regarded by France or the other
European powers a3 having any po
litical significance In regard to the near
Eastern situation. It is pointed out that
the United States has always refrained
from taking part In the near Eastern
troubles, th'e European powers assuming
the burden of that situation. An official
here likened the presence of an American
squadron in Turkish waters to the de
mand made by j the British and German
warships in Venezuelan waters, the pur
pose in each case being to command re
spect and enforce the collection of de
mands not having any connection with
the general political conditions.
The latest official advices received here
show that the Russian squadron, which
was at Inlada, off the east coast of Tur
key, was withdrawn to Sebastopol, where
it is awaiting further orders. Italy ha3
one warship, Austria pne and France one
in Turkish waters, but in each case large
squadrons are held in reserve for action
if the situation shall become acute.
The increasing gravity of the conditions
In Turkey is further shown by an official
report Just received from Philippopolis
giving details of the revolutionary plot
to blow up the Oriental express. One
of the plotters had been designated to
sacrifice his life by boarding the train
and throwing the bombs. This plot prob
ably was connected with the dynamiting
of the omnibus train at Kuleli Burgar,
but the Philippopolis report establishes the
fact that the original plan was aimed
against the leading trans-European ex
press for the purpose of impressing the
world with the magnitude of the disorder.
The reports received here from the
French Consuls at Salonica and Monastir
are still more reassuring. They say they
have no further fear for their lives unless
the Turkish soldiery become more lawless.
The reports add that forty-nine Turkish
battalions have been withdrawn from Al
bania and concentrated around Salonica,
as the Albanian disorders have been
crushed. The most remarkable feature of
the reports discloses the fact that the
Turkish force, which totaled 50.C00 men
when the troops entered Albania six
months ago, has been reduced to 35,000
men. Few of the soldiers died of disease.
The loss was chiefly in men killed while
crushing the Albanian uprising.
