Denver. Oct. 5.-The Republican this
morning says;
After two conferences held yesterday
between Governor Peabody and Briga-
der General John Chase,it seems to
haye been pretty definitely settled that
General Chase will not return 10 the
Cripple Creek district as general in
command of the troops. Neither Gen
eral Chase nor Governor Peabody
would give any intmation yesterday
after the conference as to Just what
had been the outcome OF the meeting.
But there is scarcely doubt that Cen
eral Chase has been relieved OF his
command in the district. His probable
successor will be Colonel Nerdeckberg.
The policy over which General
Chase and Governor Peabody do
not agree and which may cause the
former'B permanent recall, is said TO be
relative to the conduct OF the supplies
and other things which come into the
camp.
The immediate cause of all this dis
turbance came up over the pay rolls
which are now being prepared by Col
onel Gross. According to military
rules and regulations the pay rolls
must pass through the hands of the
brigade commander. who is General
Chase. Colonel Gross. the paymaster
general of the army, did not see fit TO
allow the general to see the pay rolls.
The break occurred in Camp Goldfeld.
General Chase sent word to Colonel
Gross that he wanted to see the pay
rolls. Word was sent back by the
colonel that he was busy with them
ana could not send them over.

TURKS OPEN WAR
ON BULGARlANS

Sofia. Bulgaria. Oct. 5.--Serious news
has been received here from the from
tier of. fighting between the Turkish
and Bulgarian troops at Demir-Kapia,
both sides sustaining losses
In official quarters all knowledge of
the affair Is denied, but the circumstan-
iial details given seem to indicate that
there is some foudation for the account
of the conflict
According to one report the Turks
attacked the Bulgarian frontier post.
Another version says that the Turks
uursued a number of refugees across
the frontier.
1t is asserted that the Turks have
frequently attempted to provoke hostil-
tiles. firing into Bulgarian territory
and crossing the frontier to steal
horses and sheep. The war Office here
is working at high pressure. and 24.0ou
recruits will be called three months be-
fore the usual time. Prince Ferdinand
has sanctioned numerous other meas
ures of n warlike nature. All the cav
airy, with the exception of single
regiment. which is stationed at Sofia
has been sent into the frontier dis
tricts, where are strong forces of artil-
Iery. Vigorous efforts are being made
TO prevent bands from crossing into
Turkish territory. Two bands which
were sent back have reached Sofia
since yesterday.
Dispatches from the frontier re-
relyed at the revolutionary headquar-
ters report that the refugees in the
mountains are in a terrible condition
through their pursuit by the Turks and
cold and hunger. Many are dying.

Copper and vegetable fibers form the largest individual items of our imports from Mexico. and iron and steel pro- ducts constitute our largest exports to that country Detailed statistics for 1903, are not yet available, but in 1902 our imports of copper ore and Tegulus were almost SIO. .OO0. 900, as compared with less than S1OO. 900 in 1892; our inn ports of pigs, bars, ingots, etc, of cop per increased ir the same time from SS4 900 to nearly three and three-quar- ter millions. In 1892 no copper ore was exported to Mexico, but in 1902 nearly $700. 900 worth was so exported. Of unmanufactured vegetable fibers Cmainly sisal brass) our imports in creased from five and one-half millions to over twelve million dollars. while of the manufactures of these mater ials our imports increased from S6,OCO to nearly $650 GOO. and our exports from $5S 600 to s22S, 900. Hides and skins were imported to the value of nearly three and one-h hah millions in 1902 more than double the 1892 value while of leather and its manufactures the value of exports increased from s6l. 900 to $S1S.OOO Our imports of coffee fell off during the decade from over four to less than three million dollars.
