String to IT.

Sofia, Sept. 20.-SOme apprehension
having apparently been created owing
to q misunderstanding regarding the
precise meaning of Bulgaria s last note
to the powers. explanations have been
given to some diplomatic agents here
that the memorandum was not intended
as an ultimatum, but was rather in the
nature of an appeal for the intervene
ton of the great powers before that in
tervention should be too late. The
Bulgarian ministry, it was stated, was
determined to maintain its attitude of
neutrality up to the last moment. but
it felt the impossibility of standing by

with Turkey.
A special despatch from the Monas-
tory of Rila, Bulgaria, says the condi-
ton of the Turkish garrison of Melink,
60 miles northeast of Salonica, is be-
lieNed to be extremely critical. 1t is
hesiged by bands of insurgents under
the leadership of four former Bulgarian
officers. The insurgents number 1900
while the garrison is belived to consist
of only one battalion. Melink is Il very
important strategic point in the noun

London, Sept. 21.-The Balkan situa-

Obaldia, today, took over the function

that the appointment of Gov. Oba!dia

is a native of Panama, which fact en-
cages for him the sympathies Of all,
but because his appointment apparently
is part of a general plan, the result OF

meditated, the sincere opinions express

urgently demand the construction of Il

object of which is to serve their inter-
ests, though they may imply a sacrifice
of sovereignty, are not against the
national dignity. We cannot deny civil

tinue it's victorious march"

The sham battle between the two
craft too place, Friday afternoon, the
Mckee being in command of gunner
Clarence S. Nanderdeck and the Moe
casin in charge of Lieut.. Frank l..

1t had been claimed for the torpedo

of the sun on the smooth water pre-
vented their seamen from seeing the
wave Of the submarine. and that on this
account several victories had been re-
corded that could not have been won
under different conditions. Consequent
ly Lieut.. Commander Frank F. F'letch-
er, L. S. N, commandant of the tor
pcdo station, selected a time for a ma
neuVer when there was absolutely no
sunlight to interfere with the sight of
the men on the torpedo boat.
The Mckee left the torpedo station
before noon and ran to a point a mile
beyond Bretons reef lightShip. where
she lay in wait for her enemy. The
Mckee was given an hours start by
the regulations, and Lieut.. Pinney gave
her is minutes more. He took the
Moccasin out in the channel behind the
torpedo station. where he had her sub
merged, and she ran thus for about an
hour, during which the men had lunch
Outside, the Moccasn came to the sur

dummy torpedo at once, and it struck
