WASHINGTON, April 18.-The attitude assumed by the state department towards the Turkish government In the prosecu tion of its claims for damages to Ameri can missionary property caused some thing of a sensation in diplomatic circles today. As a matter of fact, based upon their experience with the Turkish gov ernment In their effort to collect claims, those members of the diplomatic body here who have watched the progress of the negotiations between the United States and Turkey for the last five years have oome to look with amusement upon the alternating phases of hope and dis couragement by which they have been characterized. Three successive American ministers have prosecuted these claims; each has received a promise of prompt settlement, and yet not a dollar has been paid. "With European diplomats that is an old experience, and they have con sequently been somewhat surprised at the announcement that the United States government is actually going to insist upon performance instead of promise. TO SHELL, SMYRNA. President Angell, after trying his hand at collection for two years, recommend ed that a United States warship be sent to seize Smyrna, and collect revenues at the custom house there sufficient to meet our claims. This suggestion was not se riously entertained, nor is it now. In tho first place, according to the state depart ment officials^ most of the important bus iness interests in Smyrna are in the hands of foreigners, not Turks, and a bombardment by a United States fleet might result in a pretty bill for damages against us. Then, as there is still a remnant of Turkish navy, the United States would have to send a squadron in stead of a single warship. Such a move ment would, without doubt, be resented by the remainder of Europe, which cnuld not contemplate with equanimity an ac tion by the United States that would perhaps destroy the fruits of many years' work of the greatest European states men, by precipitating a final crisis In Turkey. WAR CLOUD FADES. Therefore, the next step to bo taken by our government will not be warlike, but will still suggest in a most dignified manner the indignation felt by the Unit ed States at the betrayal of Turkish promises. How this attitude will bear upon the Turkish minister in Washington cannot be foretold at this moment. Ho is so far absolutely unentangled in the negotiation for these American claims, but that fact might not save him from being made the immediate victim of his country's Caches. The minister, however, is very popular personally In Washing ton, and as his enforced departure would be a matter of deep regret to official so ciety, It is hoped that by prompt action on its part the Turkisfh government may avert ill consequences to its own repre sentative here. MINISTER STRAUS TALKS'. Gravity of the Situation Ha« Not Been Exaggerated. NEW YORK, April 18.—Oscar S. Straus, minister from the United States to Tur key, is at his home in this city. It is understood that he is to remain here until the claim dispute is settled. When Mr. Straus found that the sultan, despite his personal pledge to pay the claims, which had. at his solicitation, been reduced from more than $300,000 to $100,000, was bent on continuing his pol icy of delay, he sent a long dispatch to Washington relating the facts of the ne gotiations and offering his immediate resignation. The resignation, if accept ed, would have been tantamount to a direct challenge to the sublime porte. The administration, however, was not prepared to take so decisive a step, and asked Mr. Straus to permit his resigna tion to be unacted upon, -and to retire from Constantinople until " the affair could be adjusted amicably or by firm pressure upon. the sultan. It is there fore thought the sultan has not yet been apprised of the grave displeasure of this country. Mr. Straus said: "The situation is not grave« unless the eultan breaks his promises." o FELL ASLEEP A WEEK A6O THRBE-YEAR-OL.D GIRL'S CONDI TION PUZZLES PHYSICIANS.

DYSPEPSIA, Gee. S. Scally, of 75 Nassau St., New York, says-: "For yearn I have be«n troubled with rheumatism and dyspepsia, and I came to the conclusion to try your pills. I immediately found great relief from their use; I feel like a new man since I commenced taking them, and would not now be without them. The drowsy, sleepy feeling I used to have has entirely disappeared. The dyspepsia has left me and my rheumatism Is gone entirely. I am satisfied If any one so afflicted will give Radway's Pills a trial they will surely cure them, for I believe it all comes from the system being out of order—the liver not doing Its work."
