But conditions are such, owing to the influx Of

Patrolmen should be commanded to shoot GRIM

A FIERCE ENCOUNTER
Near kerrie Reported by Minister
Cherkib Bey at Washington.

Washington. Sept. 14,-Chckib Bey. the
Turkish minister, called at the state de-

with Acting Secretary Adee. A cablegram

Of a fierce encounter which took place,

troops and Bulgarian brigandS in which
over 100 of the latter We're killed and a
large number taken prisoners. The dis
patch also said that quantities of arms.
ammunition and dynamite bombs We're
captured.
The minister informed Mr.. Adee that
the Preparations of the Turkish troops
recently has led to the capture of Il large
number of bulgarian LrigandS and that
state of panic exists among them in con-
sequence of the determination of the Sui
tan to suppress their lawleSS acts. In the
encounter. yesterday. many of the bri
sandS escaped, while others surrendered
The minister believes that yesterdays
conflict will have the effect of restoring
order in that section. He regards as sig
nificant the fact that the Bulgarian Rev
olutionary Society residing in the Turk
sh province, which has been supplying
he brigands with arms and ammunition,
have applied to the Sultan for a pardon.
In the light of the gravity of the of
fences committed. the minister thinks it
is not probable that the request will be
granted. He represented matters at Hey-

AN AUSTRALIAN ARMY.
Gen. Hutton's Scheme for Organization
of the Colony's Forces.
New York SUM-

New York Sum-
A scheme proposed by Major Gen.
Sir Edward Hutton for the creation OF
an Australian Commonwealth Army
has been recommended for adoption by
the Australian Federal Executive
Council. Gen. Hutton was sent out TO
Melbourne two years ago, intrusted
with the mission to pave the way Tor
q denomination of the local forces,
and his work has already borne fruit.
The plan comprises two distinct
forces. one a mobile field force, fully
equipped and trained Tor military OPP
eratious in the field, the other garri-
son force, for the protection OF the
strategical points.
The mobile field force will consist en-
tirelv of militia, comprising six bri-
gades of cavalry, three of infantry
and the proper proportion of artillery.
On the peace footing there will be 10
GIL men and 60 guns; on the war foot
ing. q .753 men and 81 guns.
The garrison force will consist MAIN
" of volunteers, numbering in all H.
$50 men and &c guns.
The present permanent troops will
also remain, and will form nucleus OF
artillery garrisons for fixed defences,
and an instruction force for the Volun-
teers and the militia. The militia VIII
be available for active field operations
within the limits imposed by the De-
fence bill now before Parliament, while
the volunteers will be responsible for
the local or state defence.
The preponderance of cavalry in the
scheme of organization is due to the
great need of the British army in that
arm, and to the excellent service rem
dered by the Australian mounted in
fantry in South Africa. The Is regi-
ments of light horse thus provided for
will be a valuable addition to the Brit
ish army.
