London: A cable from a st. Peters
burg correspondent Of the Telegraph
on Sunday said:
Il have authority which prohibits
me from doubling the yeracity of
the report that outpost engagements
have occurred on the Yalu resulting
from the Russian advance, the
guards being driven back with con-
siderable losses, estimated at $500
lives, but whether this means those
who fell on the Yalu or the entire
Russian losses since the commence
ment OF the war is not exactly clear.
For days past there have been
ugly rumors Of Russian mishaps on
land. Stories are also current that
the car is extremely displeased by
the incidents of the night torpedo
attack at Port Arthur The emperor
has ordered a full inquiry. It is again
reported that on the night of the at
tack all of the officers of the fleet
we're ashore celebrating the birthday
of the wife of Admiral Stark. II is
expected the imperial inquiry will re-
suit in many dismissals and degrade
tions."

The facts stated in the note are be

which are contemplated.
Turkey realizes that a war with
Bulgaria will be a most serious affair
and she has made military provision
accordingly Her army Of 100000 men
Is in the highest state OF efficiency

tees. The 100000 Mussulmans resid.
ing in Bulgaria are. OF course, with

Turkey has no fear Of the military
power OF any other European govern
ment with which It is likely to become
involved in war.
The Turkish government considers
II has a strong case and ample justi-
fication for an immediate march into
Bulgaria, and competent authorities
entertain no doubt that Bulgaria will
soon be invaded.
The complications likely to arise out
OF such a war are many.
Austria is likely to become involved

Russia will also Turkey has long
been waiting for an opportunity to re-
cover her Asiatic provinces and the
Bultan's government is proceeding now

that. with Japan on her hands in the
East, Russia has a great deal TO con.

ably be expected. Should Russia be
drawn in to defend her Asiatic pos
sessions, France, as her ally may be-
