[Telegram.—Paraphrase.]

Department of State,
Washington, June 9, 1904.

(Mr. Hay informs Mr. Leishman that the President is unwilling to believe that it is the settled policy of the Turkish Government to deny to the Government of the United States simple justice, which it accords to other powers, and instructs him to ascertain from the minister for foreign affairs whether this decision is final, and to ask, in the name of the President, if no satisfactory result is obtained, for an immediate audience of His Majesty the Sultan, and to lay this question before him.)
