fight had ragged for six hours the
Turks were repulsed with the loss of

Reports received at Sofia, Bulgaria,
from Constantinople and believed to

statements to the effect that when the
Turks recaptured Krushevo they
slaughtered the entire Christian popu-

pointed out that among those killed
were the employees of the government
tobacco establishment, which we're
under European control, as the pro-
ceeds from these establishments were
assigned to the service of the Turkish

A cablegram dated August 18th,

state department. Mr.. Adee, acting

Marroquin to again submit the treaty
to the Colombian congress in its pres
ent form. The treaty cannot again
come before that body. President
Marroquin, however. can send the

that President Marroquin will adopt
some such procedure.
