BANDS CROSSING LINES.
Bulgarian Troops Capture 70 Rebels
Turks Also Make Capture.

Sofia, bulgaria. Oct. ia band of 20
insurgents caught near the frontier by
Bulgarian troops was sent to Sofia, Yes
terday. The passage of bands across
the frontier has become increasingly
difficult, owing to the precautions of the
government and the increase in the
number of frontier guards. The gener-
al situation is unchanged. Fear is eX-
pressed in many quarters that the
Turks will oppose the application of the
Austro- Russian reform plans.
Turkish troops recently discovered a
hiding place of insurgents and refugees
in the mountains in the vicinity of
Okrida, go miles from Monastir) and
routed them after several days fighting.
The Turks used artillery. The pursuit
of the refugees is said to have been
accompanied by great severity, and the
murder of many children and non-com-
batants.
Three hundred and fifty refugees
from Malkotonavo have arrived at
Hibitschevo, and 200 women and child
rem from Resevo, vilayet of Adrianople,
have reached Yambouli.
The Turkish proposals for the repa-
triation of the refugees meets with
positive refusal from the fugitives to
return to Macedonia, and place them
selves under the control of the Turks.

But the Rumors of War Are Indefinite
As Ever.

St. Petersburg, Oct. l3.-Russia is
now transporting $4,000 troops. nurses
physicians and hospital supplies to the
Far East. The present strength of the
Russian army there is reliably reported
to be $4,000 men. Officers detailed
for duty in the Orient have been forbid

The foreign office says it has no Of
fetal confirmation of the reported dis
embarkation of japanese troops at Ma

Regarding Manchuria, the foreign
office states that the question is at
present closed. The existing situation
in Manchuria is the fault of the Chi
nese, Japanese and British. If China
desired to reopen the negotiations and
accept certain conditions the situation
could still be changed, as Russia is not
rooted TO the soil and could leave if she
liked.

This town, today, was given up to riot,

mob Of 5000 gathered in the great

there to throw down their arms shout

streets breaking the windows 81 the
stores, dragging out the huge display
rolls of linen which they stretched
across the street with the object of inn

They wrecked shops, sacked the houses

and attacked the banks in two of which
they succeed in stealing q few hun

SALT ON TAIL?

penobscot So Low That Sea Water En-
tiers Queen City.

Bangor, Me-, Oct. 13.-The CONNER
cial says: Is Bangor to become a sea-
port? From all indications if the pres
ent increase of salt water in the river
here keeps on this city, with in a few
months, will be situated on the sea-
coast, at least the water here, below the
dam. will be the same as that on the
coast and without doubt Bangor will
branch out as a bona fide salt water
summer resort. The only thing when
can prevent this is the fact that it may
rain enough during the next few weeks
to raise the river and keep the tlde
from bringing the sea-Water up 40 the
city as during the last week.
Anyone who had never been in Ban
gor before and who tasted the river
water here at the city within the last
week would certainly say that the
ocean was IL few miles away. The rea-
son forc this is that owing to the low
pitch of water, made by the recent dry
e;ell, the current in the river, usually
swift, has become so weak that with
the income of the tide the salt sea
waves have been brought to our very
doors.
While no doubt many people would
hail the salt water here with great JOY
and waterfront property would no
doubt take a boom owing to the fact
that people would not have to go to
Bar Harbor and that few years c%ould
see a second Coney Island along our
river-front, others especially the mill
owners, are roundly cursing the action
of the old Penobscot in not being able
to mold it's own against the encroach-
ment of the tide.
While it is not generally known, a
number of the mills here were forced to
shat auNn for a short time, last week,

pIe would think of the condition of the
riVri affecting the saw mills but such
has been the case.
Not for many years has the old
stream, which wends its silent way be-
tween the fiOurishing village of Brewer
and this great metropolis, been SO salt
Several of the mills which get their
