Wind Blows 100 Miles an Hour

WITH EIUWS TO WtIICS an FIVUI'
At times the wind blew at the rate
of 100 miles an hour All communica-
ton with shore was cut off. 1t was i'm
possible during the height of the storm
to see the warships through the haze
of rain and spray.
On shore it was dangerous to go
about. Severa! carriages were over
turned by the wind, trees were blown
down, electric wires yere prostrated,
and several buildings were unroofed.
Among the buildings unroofed was the
depot of the commissary. Several
navy officers ashore on various er-
rands were compelled to remain
ashore all night.

No Surprise in London.

LONDON, Oct. 6.-The news of the
declaration of the independence of
Bulgaria occasioned no surprise at the
f-reign Office here. It is believed the
plan will be to force declaration of
war from Turkey when the Bulgarian
soldiers -nobilizing near there will
seize Adrianople, European Turkish
city, preparatory to an attack on the
capitol.
On the arrival OF Ferdinand last
night from Austria he received note
calling him to Trinoya where he went
and was closeted with the cabinet un-
til s o'clock this morning. The proc
lamation was issued then but held
back to be sent to the powers before
given to the press. A conference of
the war minister and chief Of staff
followed. Ferdinand is now in confer
ence with foreign banks relative to
financing the war.

Turkey VIII Fight.

ONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 5,-Tur-

nation of independence with war. On
receipt of the official message from
Bulgaria of independence the cabinet
of Turkey assembled and had long
secret conference. The minority men,
bers are understood to favor accept
ance of the situation fearing a war
would wreck the new regime. A ma
jority. however, consider that immed-
late resistance is the only possible
course. They say Bulgaria wants war
and submission means only future
trouble. 1t is feared among the young
Turks the sultan may take advantage
of the situation to abrogate the consti-

in favor of deposing Abdul Hanid
prior to the declaration of hostilities.
