BULGAR|A'S NOTE 70 PUBLIC.
WANTS PROTECTION FROM THE
TURKISH MAssAcREs.
Crisis Is at Hand and Big Nations
Must Stop the Mobilization of the
Turkish Army-Step Is Most De-
eided-It ls Held to Be a Prelude to
Mobilization Of Bulgarian Army.

Sofia, Sept 16.-The Bulgarian gov.
ernment. through its foreign repre-.
sentatives, has addressed a note to
the great powers, declaring that the
porte is systematically devastating
Macedonia and massacreing the Chris.
tian population. Further, 1t says Tur.
key has mobilized her whole army,
which can not possibly be for the sole
purpose of suppressing the revolution.
Therefore, the Bulgarian government
Europe to prevent the continuance of
the massacres and devastation and to
stop the mobilization OF the Turkish
army. The memorandum concludes
with the plain statement that unless
the powers intervene Bulgaria will be
forced to take such measures as she
may deem necessary.
While it is possible that a Turko-
Bulgarian war may even yet be avert
ed. the probabilities of such an en-
counter were never greater than at
the present moment. The recent note
to the powers. the most decided step
yet taken by the principality, was die
tated not only by the alarming re.
ports of wholesale massacres and de.
vastation daily arriving, but also by
the indifference of the powers towards
the severity of Turkeys repressive
measures.
The Bulgarian ministry has endeav-
ored to maintain strict neutrality, but
IL appears very possible that the gov
ernment may now depart from this DO.
sition.

PANAMA GOVERNMENT RON
ANTI-sEcEssIoN GOVERNMENT
APPROVED BY SENATE.
1t Is Said the Newly Appointed Gov
ernor Of Panama, Who ls Favorable
to Canal Treaty, 10 Crooked-Their
Congress- rForgets Uncle Sam Wants
to Build Canal.

Bogota, Sept. ia proposal made
by Senor Perez Y. Sotos to ask the ex-
ecutive to appoint an antisecession
government in Panama has been ap-
proved by the senate. Speakers in the
senate said that Senor Obaldia, who
was recently appointed governor OF
ranama and who is favorable to q
canal treaty. was of doubtful integrity.
President Marroquin protested against
the action of the senate.
President Marroquin succeeded later
in calming the congressman. 1t ap-
pears he was able to give them salts
factory reasons for Governor Obaldia' 3
appointment.
The Bogota government appears to
realize the imminent peril of the 18TH
mus Of Panama declaring its indepen-
dence. Senior Sesoux, representative
Of Panama constituency, delivered a
sensational speech in the house;
Among other things he said:
"In Panama the bishops, governors,
magistrates, military commanders and
their .subordinates were and are for
eign to the department. 1t seems that
the government, with surprising te-
nacity, wishes to exclude themselves
from all partizans in public affairs. AS
regards international dangers, all can
say is that If these dangers exist they
are due to the conduct of the national
government, which is in the direction
Of reaction. II the Colombian govern
ment will not listen to the representa-
tions made with a view to preventing
disaster, the responsibility will rest
with it alone. Not a native Of Pan
anna is obeying the reactionary laws"
The bill dealing with the settlement
Of the foreign claims arising out Of the
revolution has met with no opposition
in the legislature. It seems that con-
gress, after the recent political dis
cussions, has lost all energy and has
entirely forgotten Panama canal mat
ters.

Of the isthmus of Panama. is to be

REPUBLIC SPECIAL


New York. july 11.-Luck and the New
York American League Club are still PLAY
ing together. Fortune came to the aid of
the Griffins men at every critical stage Of
to-days game and they won an eleven-hour
victory over st. Louis in the sloppiest going
yet seen on the grounds.
The visitors came fast in the sixth inning
and for time 1t looked as though the local
ball tossers were permanently ont of the
running. Anderson was the first troublous
person at the bat. He sent long and pref
ty two-bagger down the left-field alley that
brought the crowd to Its feet.
Wallace was an easy out on a sharp line
drive to Williams. but Kahoe stepped up
and coaxed Anderson home with hand
some single Hill got in a pretty rap and
one was roasting on each and every sack
BURKETT'S TIMELY HIT.
Evans famed, which was not unexpected.
but the broad-shouldered Burkett came to
the bat and mussed up the score column
by bringing home Kahoe and Hill. who only
had to jog to cross the plate in safety.
Then Tannehill. becoming alarmed. struck
out Heidrick. one of the longest hitters on
the whole ST. Louis team.
Prior to this pleasant session New York
had made run, due to Keeler's lucky
grcunder. Fultz's sacrifice and Williamss
lively line drive to the same region in left
field.
II tine seventh Griffin's people saw the
! ball in good style. Will!ams's double Gre
ated havoc when all the corners were &C.
cupied. The Highlanders, seeming victory
by this time. settled down to work. and In
the ninth inning handily tied the score.
largely as a result of Keeler's smart triple.
All went smoothly until the eleventh.
when the locals got together and so befud-
died the visitors that they corraled the
winning run In easy style.
WILD PITCH DISASTROUS.
Sudhon has assumed the pivotal position
for St. Louis. and to him the visitors
looked to stow away the game. The ubiqu-
: tous Keller sauntered up to the plate after
OConnor's single. and. gripping his bat
well up near the middle. punched out a
bunt that Kahoe could not handle. A wild
pitch now came to the assistance Of the
New Yorks. and when Friel stumbled over
Williams's rap the batboys gathered up the
timber and the crowd filed out.
Elberfeld, enjoined from chasing the
day.. and his place at short field was only
partly accounted for by Green, who recent
ly was secured from Boston.
Ban johnson. president of the American
League. and Comskey. the Chicago owner.

Just how far the fight over Davis and FL

but both admitted that they were prepared
for at least a legal battle.
