garian Collisions ON the
Frontier
TURKEY NOT ANXIOUS FOR WAR
Porte's Treasury Not in a Condition
to Stand the Expense of Conflict
Powers Would Not Permit Territor-
/ ial Expansion-Danser in Accidental
# Collision of Troops.

Berlin, May 9.-The German govern
ment regards the Turko- Bulgarian sit
uation as being grave, tut responsible
officials say if the collision can be
stayed off thru the summer more sober
ccunsels can get hearing in the Win
ter. when military action is impossible.
Regarding the mutual recrimination OF
Turkey and Bulgaria in imputing belli-
cose purposes the officials here say
Turkey certainly can not wish for war,
because she is unable to bear the ex-
pense and knows beforehand the powers
would not permit territorial expansion
as a result of the victory. 1t is also be-
lieyed Bulgaria, while showing de-
plorable attitude towards the reyoiu-
tionary elements. does not desire war.
Nevertheless, danger lies in the fact
that Turkish and Bulgarian troops are
facing each other on the frontier and in
proximity to it, rendering more or less
accidental collision possible which
would easily grow into uncomfortable
dimensions. The situation has de-
pressing effect on the German bourses
and prevents any operations on huge
scale.

CALL IT HISTORICAL EVENT.
English Newspapers Comment on Az
yancement Of Irish Land Bill.

English Newspapers Comment on Ad.
vancen1ent Of Irish Land Bill.
London, May 9.-That the Irish land
bill should be introduced under a union
ist government and passed to its Sec
ond reading by the huge majority OF
AIT is hailed by the liberal newspapers
yesterday morning as a remarkable his
torical event, "a great conversion" and
momentous step in Irish emancipa-
ton. Gladstone's historic declaration
in parliament, "The ebbing is with yon
and the flowing tide is with us, is re-
called and his policy is held to be JUS
titled. 1t is pointed out that even
stalking the imperial credit in the solu-
ton of the land problem which Glad
stone steady opposed as involving d
great danger, has no terrors for the
present parliament and government, so
tremendous is the change that has
come over mems minds in regard to
Irish affair. Thursdays debate in the
house of commons gave further indi-
cations of similar veerHlg on the
question OF home rule. Thomas Glib
son Bowles, conservative, declared,
"home rule has lost its terror for me"
Ernest Flower, conservative, said he
was mot sure that a further local gov
ernment bill not be required in the fu-
ture." Colonial Secretary Chamber
lain's absence during the land bill dis
cussions has been muched remarked.
Several unionists abstained from voting
Thursday. The attitude of the govern
nent thruout the debates has raised
great hopes that compromise VIII be
reached in committee on the contested
points and that the bill eventually will
be adopted.

and on the morning Of May went to
the Hotel Lenox and went to bed sick.
He was then under surveillance on 9TH
er charges, and his room was shared
by a constable. In the morning he was
dead. An autopsy showed the cause to
have been acute Brights disease. Yes
terday a daughter was born to his
wife.
Thayer was % years old, and all his
insurance was taken out within eigh
teen months, some of it within three.

Report on Alleged Statements by Gen.
eral Baldwin Made Public.
Washington. d. c., May 9.-The war
department yesterday made public the
report of Colonel Mills on the alleged
interview with General Baldwin at
Denver, together with the endorsement
of Secretary Root. The findings have
already been made public. The report
deals with the different methods of the
in Denver and pronounces
the interview in which General Baldwin
is alleged to have criticized the F'ilipi-
nos and negroes "a fake Colonel Mills
also says:
Il found General Baldwin much
chagrined at the notoriety thrust upon
him by this newspaper episode. and
greatly humiliated at the thought that
anyone would believe him guilty of the
utterances alleged in these newspaper
articles, that anyone could believe him
so poor a soldier as to be Indifferent to
the lives of the men he commanded,
was to him source of deep regret"
Secretary Roots endorsement is as
follows:
1T appears by this very exhaustive
in which testimony was
II. zen pnAer oath by 4 dplS authorized
officer. that The publication ascribing
to General Baldwin statements reflect
ing upon the Filipino soldiers in the
service of the United States, also upon
the negro soldiers of the United States
was false; that no such statements
were made by him. The papers accom- :
panying the report of the inspector
general leave no doubt in my mind as
to the correctness of his conclusions.
The reports and papers will be filed
without further action.
