A SLAUt TER
Of Christians in Macedonia
an Early Probability
WAR WITHOUT QUARTER
The Bulgarian Government Does Not
Believe 1t Possible to Restrain Much
Longer Rising Against Turkey.

Salonica, Aug. 12.-lt is reported that
the Turkish troops on Monday bonn
barded and destroyed the village of
Eshiu, twenty miles south of Monas-
tir. According to another rumor, the
insurgents who have occupied Krush-
evo. after repulsing two assaults by
the Turks, offered a conditional sur
render. Instructions were asked from
Coistantinople and in reply the Turk
ish commander received orders to give
no quarter.
The whole Bulgarian government
takes decidedly pessimistic view OF
the situation, and the officials openly
express their fears that a general mas
sacre of the Christians in Macedonia
| is inevitable, possibly within four days.
and almost certainly within a fort
| right. Meanwhile, the government con-
tinues to maintain its peaceful atti-
tude, but it believes that a sudden de-
velopment of affairs across the border
may at any moment render the author
tiles powerlesS to prevent war.
The reports from Bulgarian official
agents in Macedonia show that af-
fairs are rapidly growing worse. The
fact that the Mussuln:an people are
becoming excited and congregating al

ure indicating the possibility that

short time. 1t is feared that such a

lagos, and that the Turkish soldiers
would prove incapable of restraining
the Mussulmans, even if they desired
to do so. which is by no means certain

the present sudden outbreak, attribut-
ing it largely to the action of the porte

SURE TO BE BUILT
No 0ccasi for Anxiety Respecting
the Tonto Dam.

Though Secretary Hitchcock has not
yet given tc the world his official an
nouncement that the Tonto dam will be
built. scarcely day passes that some
straw is not seen by the observing ones,
indicating that the wind is blowing in
a most favorable direction. After the
dispatches sent out from Denver some
days ago announcing that the plans
were approved by Mr.. Newell and all
the engineers present and that Mr..
Davis would have charge of the work
everything was said that could be said
till the order comes from the secretary.
While this has not arrived, owing no
doubt to the routine of business and the
fact that he is away from his office in
Washington at this season, it is noted
hy Phoenix people. by Globe people and
by travellers to and fro that there is a
constantly increasing activity on the
part of the surveying parties at the
dam site and between here and there,
and new men are being added to these
forces very rapidly.

it is well founded, that some roads have
been ordered built that are intended

Humbert trial today formally and posi-
lively identified Roman and Emile
DAurignac, Madame Therese Hum
bert's brothers, as being the men who
impersonated the American million
aires. Robert and Henry Crawford.
Other witnesses testified that the sigma
lures of the two Crawfords were exc
cuted by the two D'Aurignacs. Per-
sonal identifications were given by a
notary named Du Puy. and a court
clerk named Dehese, of Bayonae. be-
fore whom the alleged Crawfcrds took
out legal papers, which were used in
keeping off the creditors of the Hum
bert family.
After Notary Du Puy had described
the visit TO him of the Crawford broth
ers, the court directed Roman D'Au-
riSnac to stand up. The witness ther
formally recognized Roman as the one
who had taken out the Crawford pa
perS. The witness was less sure about
Emile. Dehese similarly gave detailed
identification of Roman D'Aurignac.
Inspect him closely" ordered the
judge. DO you formally recognize
Roman D DAurignac?"

THE SEA BOARD
Passed Into the Control of
Rock Island and Frisco
There Will Be No More Rate Cutting
and Friendlier Relation With the
Morgan Interests.

New York. Aug. 12.-The long eN-
board Air Line had passed practically
into rev hands was made today by
Ladenburg, Thalmar e Company, who
issued a statement showing that inter
ests representing the Rock Island and
ST. Louis e San Francisco had secured
representation in the Seaboard direct
orata and the board of voting trustees.
The policy Of the Sea board Tor a long
time was one cf absolute independence,
SO much so as to make it at times in
imical to the interests of opposing
roads traversing adjacent territory.
Today's developments, it is thought.
will do away with such trouble in the
future.
The differences between the so-called
Morgan interests" represented by the
Southern railway and Seaboard Air
Line people during the last few years
have been sharp. In contrast with the
old-t time rate cutting which the Sea
board INDUCED in, it has been signifi-
cant that in recent years it has had a
sort of silent understanding to main
tain rates. SO that all of the railroads
in the southern territory would be able
tC get as much profit out of their traf-
fic.
The Seaboard Air Line Railway COM
pany. operating 2.611 miles of road, was
formed under the laws of Virginia ir
1900 to succeed the old Richmond. Pet
ersburg & Carolina railroad. The sys-
tenn now extends from Richmond, Va.

though contrary to expectations the
betting is still light. JeffrieS remains a

Jeffries, accompanied by his brother
Jack, Billy Delaney and Joe Kennedy,
are now quartered at the rooms of the
Reliance club in Oakland, where they

buck. This he considered an omen of
good luck. Last night he was in the
gymnasium until 10 o'clock. His work
consisted of boxing ten rounds with
his brother Jack and Joe Kennedy,
skipping the rope 1,2O0 times and finish
ing with d clog dance. Then he had a
rundown and retired, sleeping nine solid
hours When he awohe he felt so well
tnat he went on the road. Tomorrow
he will have a warming up and on
Friday he will rest the entire day.
I'd rather beat Jeffries than be the
czar of Russia said Corbett today,
when told that Billy Delaney said that
the czar of Russia had not money
enough to make Jeffries lie down.

ambition of my life to regain the cham

am going to win. If lose, tnen it's not
