Secretary Hay had a conference for a short time this morning with Lord rauncefote, the British ambassador, devoted solely t) the Chinese situation. The result was to clear up. so far as that can be ac complished In Washington, gome ob scurity as to the Pekln agreement, an unlets unexpected opposition comes from some other source, neither the state department nor the British em bassy has any reason to apprehend fur ther delay In the consummation of the agreement A misunderstanding appears to exist as to the BrIU attitude, according to officials here. So far from holding out for more severe terms and harsher measures generally, it Is stated that the British government Is In thorough ac cord with our own policy, as developed In the latest Pekln negotiations and the exchanges that have taken place be tween Secretary Hay and Lord Paunce fote. The United States government Itself has taken every precaution In making its contribution to the agree ment to Insure Its binding force, and at no time has the British government sought to go beyond the state depart ment In the terminology proposed for the agreement TURKEY WILL NOT PAT. Administration No Longer Expects the Sultan to Settle Claims. NEW YORK, Dec. IS. A special to the Herald from Washington says: Payment of the missionary claims pending against Turkey is no longer expected by the administration. Al though the sultan entertained the offi cers of the Kentucky In truly royal style, he did not let the presence of the battleship have any effect upon his pocket book and still holds the 190. 008 which American missionaries as sert Is the value of personal and mis sionary property destroyed six years ago. The Kentucky has left Smyrna for Port Said en route to Manila. The belief of the administration Is that Turkey will not settle the claims because of the reported purpose of Great Britain to press the missionary claims of her subjects against the Sub blime Porte. It Is stated that If an other nation begins to press Its claims the sultan will probably decline to set tle those of the United States. The reason the American claims have not been disposed of is the fear of Tur acy that other governments will re quire that their claims be paid. Th state department has not been Informed of the signing of the contract with the representatives of the Cramps at Constantinople for a cruiser, the cost of which was to have included the amount of the American claims.
