Mr. Leishman to Mr. Hay.

[Telegram.—Paraphrase.]

(Mr. Leishman reports that indications point to the fact that the Alexandretta incident is giving concern to the Turkish Government, and that it has offered free transportation to Beirut to Attarian, who was the primary cause of the trouble. Bequests more definite instructions as to what expression of satisfactory regrets would prove acceptable to the Department.)
