Same subject. Will telegraph results of the investi- 1316

Teras violated port regulations; every precaution
taken by Turkish authorities; Teras was sunk by

of this Government because: American-owned
ships are entitled to fly American flag in foreign
ports and are internationally American vessels; a
seaman of any nationality serving under that flag
is subject to American jurisdiction; extraterritorial
rights give jurisdiction in criminal cases. There-
fore, notwithstanding probable refusal of Turkish
Government, Department instructs the Ambassa-
dor specifically to request surrender of the captain
to the American Consul General at Smyrna, and
to reserve all rights of the United States in the
premises.

Same subject. The Turkish Government protests
against the practice of the Archipelago-American
Line to permit its ships to violate port regulations.
