20 CONVICTS BREAK JAIL
"Jim" Dalton Leads Band That
Escanes TO Wyoming Hills.

Rawlins, Wyo., Oct. n.-Twenty con-
yicts, led by the notorious Jim" Dalton,
member of the Whitney gang OF bank
robbers, escaped through a broken fence
In the penitentiary yard this afternoon.
Eleven were still at large tonight and
the possibility Of their recapture is re-
mote, since they are believed to have
gained the hills north OF the town.
The reign OF terror which holds the
town tonight began at o'clock this az
ternoon, when from the pcnftentiary
burst a bedlam Of shouts OF convicts and
through the streets of tho northern part
of the town nineteen men In prison uni.
form ran in body.
Horses tethered In front Of saloons were
seized by the leaders and bore them at
breakneck speed through the town and
away to the hills. understanding the
guards who closed in on the rear Of the
fugttives after losing precious minutes in
vestigating the cause Of the uproar In the
cells
Four Of the convicts seized q grocery
wagon and compelled the boy driver to
race for the hills. When the horse gave
out they loaded themselves with its pro-
II
visions and ran.
Four of the fugitives hiding In a canyon
north OF Rawlins were caught half an
hour after the outbreak. and a fifth was
captured making for the railroad tracks.
Three were cornered in another canyon
mile west Of the town by mounted pur-
suers. but have not yet been taken.
The guards returning with the Ave pris-
oners were greeted by the convicts with
groans. and 1t was then discovered that
in the excitement Of the pursuit another
prisoner had escaped, making twenty In
all.
Four fugitives were discovered tonight
hiding in, barn within a block of the
prison. Two were caught by guards, but
two got away from the officers, who
feared 10 fire because of a crowd n the
vicinity. A little later Warden Aston
arrived at the penitentiary with two men

A searching party Of citizens is scour-
ing the vicinity and armed men patrol
the streets TO prevent possible night de-

TO DRIVE OUT THE TURKS
Austria Said To Be in League
with Balkan States.
[By Cable to The Tribune.

Vienna, Oct. 12-Rumors of secret
Austro Balkan negotiations which, 1t is
said. have been proceeding for months,
detail a sensational scheme by means
of which Austria Hungary hopes TO
seize the balance OF power In South
eastern Europe. The mysterious visit
Of King Ferdinand of Bulgaria to
Francis Joseph. the latter's guarded
statements to Parliament and the am
bassadors, the significant threats by
innuendo Of Count Berchthold, Aus
tria's Foreign Minister and admittedly
the Meuernich or Talleyrand Of to-day.
are all explained by these reports.
Austria Hungary and the Balkan
States, according to these rumors, are
In absolute alliance, offensive and de-
fensive. The octogenarian head Of the
Hapsburgs will, at the right moment,
proclaim himself at the head Of the
new crusade against the Turk: the

storing the Cross to -eminence In

The following are said to be the main
provisions of the Austro- Balkan agree
ment:
Austria to use her influence with the
concert Of Europe to assure non-inter-
ference with the advance of her allies,
Bulgaria, Servia and Montenegro,
against the Turks; to throw her army
into the field In the event of Turkish
success, and II the powers threaten the
Balkan alliance to support the latter
on land and sea.
Rumania and Greece TO be invited to
join this confederation.
Greece to be offered a share In the
partition OF Turkey in Europe.
The reigning houses in the confed-

London, Oct. 12.-Military experts
and amateur strategists are busy plan
ming campaign for the Balkan war.
The consensus OF opinion is that Bull
garia and Turkey will be the chief op-
ponents, with Servia second in strength
of tho allies; Montenegro merely a
minor incident, and Greece scarcely
worth considering. 1t Is generally &C.
cepted that the allies objective Will be

Bulgaria is expected TO take the Often

and guesses are mostly directed at
whether Turkey will be willy enough to

TURKEY WOULD EMBROlL
ALL EUROPE IN WAR
Porte's Break in Peace Negoti-
atoms with Italy Regarded
as Sinister Move.
[By Cable to The Tribune. J

Paris. Oct. 1.-THE rupture Of the
Turco-Italian peace negotiations has
placed a splendid trump card In the
hands Of the Bulgarians, who are now
greatly elated, because they count
upon the italian feet being able to pre-
vent the transport of Turkish troops
from Smyrna to European Turkey.
It is known In diplomatic circles here
that Nouradounghian Effendi, the
Turkish Minister OF Foreign Affairs,
who is an Armenian and Christian,
is using every possible effort to en-
broil the European powers and draw
them into the war. This, moreover, is
the only plausible explanation of Tur-
KEYS strange method Of causing
break in the peace negotiations, be-
cause. from military point OF view
Turkey has every possible reason for
coming to terms with Italy in order to
face the possible Slav invasion from
! the north
The conviction still prevails here.
even If Italy resumes hostilities and
co-operates with the Balkan League
that both Austria Hungary and Russia
will remain neutral in spite Of the great
temptation to make an effort 10 realize
their respective traditional policies IN
European Turkey.
The heavy concentrations Of Austro-
HUNGARIAN forces in Bosnia and Herze-
Rovina and along the Balkan frontiers
and even the partial mobilization OF
three army corps, cause no anxiety
whatever with Premier Poincare and
the French government, because such
measures are regarded here as OF pure
" military necessity.
The understanding between Russia
and Austria is complete, and as the
latter power is the one which OF all
others is most likely to ,be drawn into
the conflict II is significant that the
conviction prevails in the best informed
Diplomatic circles here that so long as
the Emperor Francis Joseph lives
war between Russia and Austria, an
eventuality which would undoubtedly
start a general European confagration'
will never take place as far as be can
1 prevent 1t.
In fact, the firm attitude u the
venerable Austrian Kaisor. who has re-
Gently been strongly urged to make use
of the present situation to reoccupy the
sanjak of Novipazar, which opens Aus
trials road to Salonica, is kno"l here
TO be a sure guarantee OF the strict
localization Of the Balkan conflict.
To-day's session of the Cabinet was
entirely devoted to the external politi-
cal situation and to Frances attitude
in connection with the developments In
the war in the Near East. The Italian
Ambassador, Signor Tittoni, visited
Premier Poincare and told hin that
the peace negotiations between Italy
and Turkey had reached a critical
stage.
According to lie Temps" Italy Is
likely indirectly to support the Balkan
coalition by landing strong force In
Greece to cooperate with the Hellenic
army or make naval demonstration
off the coast Of Asia Minor.

ITALY GRANTS 3 DAYS
GRACE TO TURKEY
Porte Must Decide by Tuesday
for Peace or More Wig
orOus War,

Paris, Oct 12.-Italy tonight granted
three days grace to Turkey to decide
whether 1t shall be peace or a con-
tinuance of the war. If by Tuesday
evening the Turkish government is not
prepared to sign the protocol the
italian fleet will Immediately be dis
patched TO strike a blow at a more
vital part Of the Ottoman Empire than
has yet been reached.
The threatened rupture Of the nego-
tiations between the italian and
Turkish representatives at Ouchy has
occupied the diplomats of Europe to-
day almost to the exclusion of the Bal
kan imbroglio. The powers have con-
centrated their efforts to prevent Tur-
key from placing in the hands Of the
Balkan federation such trump card as
would be the failure of the pourparlers.
which have been large factor in caus-
and Servia to declare war.
It is pointed out that while Italy
is still fighting the Mussulmans the
position OF the Balkan States Is so
enormously strengthened that the
powers feel that nothing could re-
strain them. But with Turkey free
from the italian danger an entirely
new perspective is created. The Greek
feet then would be practically put out
Of action, and large contingents Of the
Greek army would be tied up guard
ing the coasts, while Turkey would be
able. without restriction. to move
hordes Of her finest fighting men from
Asia Minor against the Balkan in
vaders.
Italy, in granting a fresh delay In the
peace settlement, is seconding the ef-
forts Of the powers. The Italian Am
bassador, signor Tittoni, had no fewer
than three conferences to-day with Nj.
Poincare, the French Premier. ltalys
desire for peace is explained on the
ground that she fears complications
might follow an attack by her on q
port in European waters, or In the
vicinity Of those waters.
Diplomats find 1t difficult to credit
that Turkey will maintain her demands
made at the last moment. The terms
were all agreed to, when the Ottoman
government suddenly proposed that the
clauses favorable to Turkey should be
Immediately effective, while the apph-
cation Of those unfavorable to Turkey
should be postponed until ratified by
the Ottoman parliament. AS an In
stance, Turkey accepts the clause that
the Egean Islands shall Immediately
revert to her, but demands that the
Turkish troops in Tripoli shall remain,
pending the action Of the Ottoman
chamber.

ST. PETERSBURG UNM0VED
By AUSTRIAN AMBITIONS
Count Berchtold's Aggressive
Plans Known Almost as Soon
as He Formulated Them.

St. Petersburg, oct. 12.-Scarcely a
ripple on the Neva has been caused by
the reports from Vienna OF another eff
fort by Count Berchtold to extend the
Austrian frontier at the expense OF the
Balkan States. Turkey and the basic
interests OF peace in Europe.
In the best informed circles here II Is
declared that Count Berchtold. astute
though he undoubtedly is, has lost the
first throw by exposing his hand. To
his amazing secrecy was due the sue
cess Of his Bosnia Herzegovina coup.
He completely deceived Europe until II
was too late TO take effective negative
action.
In planning his great Austro- Balkan
confederation, however, he has been
forced to take too many rival interests
into his confidence. His plans we're
known here, in London, in Berlin ana
in Paris within a week OF the first
negotiations among Vienna, Sofia,
Cettinje and Belgrade.
The main purpose OF NJ. Poincares
visit to ST. Petersburg and NJ. Sazo-
noff's trip TO London and Paris was to

ARMCHAIR STRATEGISTS
PLAN BALKAN CAMPAIGN
Theorists Use Arithmetic to Predict Victory
for Turkish Forces, Basing Calculations
on Size of Rival Armies.

a million occupied to prevent the REIN
forcing of the forces.
Part of the Bulgarian army, amount
ing to forty thousand or fifty thousand
men, must be kept near the coast OF
the Black Sea to prevent Turkish In
vasion in that quarter.
This is the comparatively simple
plan of campaign figured out by ex-
perts in comfortable offices. The point
seems largely lost sight Of that the
allies enter the field with practically all
their available forces. The mobiliza-
lions have drawn every able-bodied
man to the standards, and there are no
reserves to fall back on, no further
troops to enter the conflict, and by
throwing their entire force into the
field they have succeeded in mastering
an army approximately equal to the
Turkish forces in Europe, while Tur-
key is able to oppose the allies with
an equal force at the outset, and as
the war proceeds will be constantly In
creasing her army by drafts from Asia
Minor.
In a short time. IL Turkey holds her
opponents in the first battles, she Will
have in the field nearly three times as
many men as the allies. Furthermore,
winter will soon make campaigning ex-
tremely difficult and give Turkey until
spring to concentrate her huge army
against an enemy with no possible
means OF adding to its strength.
Finally the strategists are agreed
that the outlook is at best for few
preliminary victories by the allies in a
war of unexampled ferocity on &C
count of mutual hatred, with ultimate
victory Of the Turks by the sheer force
of overwhelming numbers.

FOREIGN MARKETS SLUMP
Values of Every Description
Fall in Paris.
BERLIN BOERSE PANICky
Leading Bankers Expect Still
Lower Level, but See No
Cause for Alarm.
[By Cable to The Tribune. ]

Paris, Oct. 12-The slump which oc-
Cured on the Paris Bourse to-day
carried values Of every description with
1t, and French rentes sank a fraction
under SO, which is the lowest quotation
recorded since the German war scare
OF 1890 Leading bankers and directors
OF big credit establishments express
the opinion, however, that selling or
ders are likely to continue and that
prices will probably reach g still lower
level. although they confidently pre-
dict that there Is no real panic in view.
The slump, moreover, was due large
ly to economic reasons and to the
overcharged speculative positions as
sumed by petty operators. who stam-
pede like coveys Of cartridges as soon
as sharp falls in prices ensue.
OF course the Balkan war was the
main cause Of to-day's serious shrink

French rentes, but securities Of every

that there Is no real cause for alarm.
although 1t Is quite likely at the next
fortnightly settlement, on October Is,
there may be q sharp collapse In prices

5000, 900, 600 worth Of French capital
is invested IN Turkey, Greece, Bull
garia and Servia, Of which sum about
two-thirds are in Turkey.
Berlin Oct 1.-THE Berlin Boerse was
very panicky to-day, owing TO reports
from Vienna and various wild rumors az
to the Balkan situation. The reported re-
tirement OF Sergius Sazonoff. the Russian
Foreign Minister also had an enervatins
effect. There were many realizations, and
prices fell continually. Canadian Pacihcs
declined sS points.
As the session proceeded the market be-
came so thoroughly demoralized that Off
cial and financial circles were forced TO
interfere. The government sent repeated
assurances that there was no danger OF
complications outside the Balkans, while
the big banks met before tke opening
and decided to try TO check the decline by
giving buying orders.
These efforts prevented the bottom
dropping out of the market entirely, but
did not stop a general collapse. The fall
ranged from TO points in government
stocks, points In bank stocks and from
20 to Is points in Industrial shares. There
was no buying by the general public.

CROWDS CHEER PRESIDENT
When He Reviews Legislation Enact
ed During His Term.

Caldwell, Ohio. May 13.-Although the
weather was cold and raw with occa-
sional showers when Mr.. Taft spoke
here. the crowd filled the station and
frequently appIauded his references to
his administration and his thrusts at
Col. Roosevelt.
The President launched out with re-
view of the legislation enacted during his
term at the White House. His contrast
of deficit in the Golfers of $50.000.000 with
surplus of s40.0O0oo0 drew the first
cheer. When Mr.. Taft said. IF I be-
lieved that mere audacity of statement
would carry this election / would de-
spair of the republic" his hearers app
plauded again. After the review of his
administrative achievements, the Presi-
dent turned to his old line of criticism CT
Mr.. Roosevelt Referring to the coIonel's
continued "misstatement' of his Toledo
speech about government for the people,
Mr. Taft shouted: do you believe that
this is the way for one President to treat
another?'
mo. no. came the cry from the audi
ence.
II believe on this account Mr.. Roose-
Welt ought to be visited with the punish
ment of defeat" continued Mr.. Taft.

of the wild constitutional principles that
he is advocating, has already embodied
in the Pennsylvania platform and VIII
continue to embody in other platforms
and indeed in the national platform, II
he continues the same course that he
now indicates he is going to pursue"
Turning to Mr.. Roosevelts accusation
of Taft alliance with the political
bosses, Mr.. Taft said:
.He says that l am the creator Of
bosses and that every body who is for me
is boss and they are all against him
Well / deny that. l would like to ask

nate a President once again, but only
