Idea of Mediation Opposed

Constantinople. November 7.-Public opinion in Constantinople is strongly op- posed to the idea of seeking mediation or peace. Nazim Pasha, the Turkish commander in chief, has reported to the government that the army is determined to fight until victorious or absolutely de- feated. He regards the reverses sus- tained as unfortunate. but says the brave Ottoman army is confident of ultimate success and that the whole corps of off cers is unanimous in favor of continuing war.
 The principal officers in Constantinople have handed the grand vizier. Kiamii Pasha, signed declaration in the same spirit and the party of union and prog ress promises to support the government in It's policy in prosecuting the war with energy. These considerations are hav- ing weight with the government
 Meanwhile there have been no develop ments at the front Reconnoisances by the eastern army today before Tehorlu failed to show the presence of any Bull garians. but Nazim Pasha reports that Bulgarian reconnoitering party was re- pulsed about fcu miles from Rodosto

Describes Latest Battle

Vienna. November S.-Describing the at tack of the Bulgarian army on the Tchasalja lines. the Vienna Reiehpost' $ correspondent at the front says:
 'The Turks fought under the supreme command of Maxim Pasha with far greater tenacity than has been expected after their preeipitate retreat in the last battle. When the pressure of the flank ing movement by column of the first Bulgarian army coming from the south began to make itself felt, the Turks made a desperate forward movement. with strong force from Kavakli and Bunar against Uzun Hail, in order to break through the Bulgarian center This attack. however. completely collapsed un- der the fire of the Bulgarian infantry and artillery.
 Simultaneously the third Bulgarian army advanced from Baume. west of Istrandia, for decisive attack against the Turks right center, which was lined up to the north of Yenekeui, and threw it back on Tcherkesskeui

Disaster Complete

fThis movement converted the failure of the Turkish attack on rzun Hail into complete disaster. The divisions pushed forward in this quarter were almost an- initiated and it is to this disastrous epl- sode that a considerable part of the awful losses the Turks suffered may be at tributed.
 'The direct consequences of the over throw of the Turkish right center was the immediate retirement of the whole southern Turkish battle front, which had been entrenched in a strong position.
 This retreat was begun in the fore noon of November 5. The army proceed ed generally along the railway line in the direction of Sinskli while the extreme left wing retired by way of KantaA In relentless manner the Bulgarian army. especially the southern fianking column, pressed after the enemy and soon trans formed the retirement of the Turks from an orderly movement into disordered flight
 Maxim Pasha's attempt to arrest the Bulgarian pursuit by taking a rear guard position at Siemenli. ended on the even ing of the 5th in a complete rout The last Turkish reserves, who had been moved up to this point were unable to stand their ground and the Turks fled in masses towards Tchatalja. pursued with the greatest insistence by the Bulga- rians."
 The Turkish staff made no provision for mobilization. according to a Constanti- nope dispatch to the Reichpost Uni forms and weapons were ready for 200 0l0 men, but not for the great masses of troops. Whole battallons were forced to enter action without ammunition near Istrandia.
 The second great result of the decisive attack of the third army upon Yenekeui was that the Turkish right wing was com pletely severed from the main force. It was driven from the heights east of Istrandia into the forest region by Lake Derkos and cut off from the center. which likewise had been beaten by the Bulgarian columns advancing south of the Istrandia valley.
 While vigorously continuing the pursuit the third army is now massed for a di- rect attack upon the northern wing of the Tchatalja positions. One column was sent through ormanli against Derkos.

DIAZ WILLING TO
TAKE ANOTHER TERM

NEW YORK, March General
Porfiro Diaz, ex-president of Mexico,
who sailed into exile from Vera Cruz
on May 31st of last year, is willing to
come back to Mexico and lead the
people out of their present difficulties
if "a strong CALI is sent to him. Such
was the statement made by him in a
letter of recent date to former
trusted lieutenant and official under
his government, who is now in New
York.
General Diaz is now living in retire
ment with his son, Colonel Porfiro
Diaz, Jr. at Cape Dali, near Toulon,
in the south of France.
The former president of Mexico ex-
pressed his willingness to return TO
the land over which he ruled as die
tator for thirty-seven years in the fol
lowing words:

if the Mexican people needed me,
would come again. Should the people
involved in the present difficulties

"THE LEAP FOR LiFEn

SAN FRANCISCO. February %
THE leap for life wasn't in It to the
daredevil feat performed Ivy a Jap

Francisco looked so good TO the little
brown man that he risked his life in
a fruitless attempt to evade the mex
orable decision Of the immigration
authorities that he return to the land

afflicted with trachoma.
While the Shinyo Maru was casting
off her stern lines preparatory to leav-

cry of horror went up from the on
lockers as the Jan. taking a run along
the deck, hurled himself into space. It
seemed that he would be crushed by
the impact, but evidently the son of
the Mikado was familiar with jiu iitsu
or some sort of Japanese art involv-
ing high and lofty tumbling, for he
landed on his feet little the worse for
his jump of twenty feet from the tow

He perhaps thought that this was
all he had to do to make good his
getaway, but the alert steamship of

clapped their hands on him and he
was escorted up the main gangway to
gaze sadly back over the rail at the

COLONEL MANSFIELD IS
BACK FROM HIS ILLNESS
Machine Gun Platoon---Capt. Babcock
Leaving Transport Service--Capt.
Macnab His Successor

Colonel Francis w. Mansfield, Sec
ond Infantry, who has been on sick
report for some weeks at the Leile-
hua reservation, has so far recovered
as to report at the brigade adjutant's
office and again assume command of
Schofield Barracks.
During the illness of Colonel Mans
field Colonel WILDER e. Wilder, Fifth
Cavalry, was commandant of the res
ervation. The lineal list of colonies
has to be carefully examined to as
certain Just which colonel is the
ranking one according to regulations.
Only Colonel D. Cornman of the
Infantry list ranks Colonel Mansfield,
and that only by four days. Colonel
Cornman's colonelcy is dated August
s. 1903, and Colonel Mansfield's Aug
ust IL, 1903.
Machine Gun Platoon.
The machine gun platoon of the
Fifth Cavalry, commanded by Cap
tain George B. Rodney of that regi-
ment, are again "at home" at their
station at Schofield Barracks on Sat
urday.
Captain Rodney has had his entire
machine gun platoon on a camping
maneuver for ten days. Camp was
struck near Fort Ruger, Diamond
Head, where good drinking water
from the artesian wells is to be had
for men and animals in that pleasant
vicinity.
For ten days the machine guns

Cured. Captain Rodney is thoroughly
in earnest in his work and will en-
deavor to bring his special platoon
up to very high standard. There
is no doubt felt or expressed but tina
he will succeed. He is an office
born.
In the long march to and from tn
Leilehua reservation the machin,
guns were loaded in service wagon

of the platoon were mounted on thei

mander in the Seventeenth Infantry,
and has gone from the California post
to Fort Mcpherson, Georgia, for sta
ton. This popular transport quarter
master will be sincerely missed not
only aboard ship but at every port
of call where Captain Babcock, by his
courteous manner, has made and kept
friends these many years" at every
place a tToopship stops.
This particular detail in the army
seems to be a sort of human will, or
a separator, by which an officer as
signed to the duties of captain and
quartermaster either stands or falls,
officially. In other words, it either
makes for the future record of an
officer in the army or, as has been
the case in a few instances, the Off
Ger does not make good,
The situation aboard ship as cap
tain and quartermaster is not the
most delightful detail imaginable. 1t
is so hard to please all that consti-
| tute the travellers of an army trans
port. Every complaint, real or mag
mary, is taken to the quartermaster's
Office and the poor man there in
charge is supposed to adjust all
wishes to the liking of each. 1t is a
hard job. Still, there are officers in
the army today who have made a
grand success and left only friends
to tell of their good deeds while in
charge of an army tronsport's office.
Succeeds Captain Babcock.
Capt. Alexander j. Macnab, quar-
termaster's department, has taken
Captain Babcock's place on the U. S
