Mr. Leishman to Mr. Hay.

[Telegram.—Paraphrase.]
American Legation,
Pera, July 18, 1904.

(Mr. Leishman reports that the grand vizier has informed him that Consul Norton, at Harput, contemplates a trip to Van and Bitlis, and as he has no business there and as the Turkish authorities will have to furnish him with guards, the grand vizier requests that Mr. Norton be instructed not to go there.)
