Mr. Hill to Mr. Leishman.
Washington, July 9, 1902.
(Mr. Hill states that it is represented by the New York Life Insurance Company that on May 26, six policies were sent by the Ottoman Bank by registered mail to their agency in Tchoroun for collection and the same seized by the Turkish postal officials; that the bank protested, and the officials’ reply was that the action was taken by order of the minister of police, who had forbidden insurance companies working in Turkey if they have not fulfilled the formalities required by the Government.
Mr. Leishman is directed to exercise good offices in behalf of the company and to investigate and report what further formalities must be complied with by it.)
