capital
The Balkan allies, however accord

the Balkan allies to the powers.
While Turkey is believed to be en-
deavoring 10 secure European inter

with victory the Bulgarian troops are
reported to have control Of the situa-
ton, and even were their own states
men DESTROYS of bringing the hostilities
to an early conclusion, such wishes
would probably be ignored until the
armies Of the allies had installed them
selves in the Turkish capital.
A Vienna diplomat, who received his
information from Bulgarian headquar-
ters, says that the powers have already
taken a preliminary step toward me-
diation. Turkey seems inclined to &C
cept It, but Bulgaria, he added, has
sent no reply.

TURKISH CRUISER SUNK
Greek Torpedo Boat Steals oy
Night Into Gulf of Salonica.

Athens Nov. 1.-The Turkish cruiser
Feth-I-Bulend, 2,s06 tons, was SUNK
during last night in the Gulf OF SAXON :
lea by a Greek torpedo boat. Inc ureeh
commanders daring enterprise was
carried out under the guns OF the IurA-
isb forts without being observed, ana
the torpedo boat escaped unscatheu'
The cruiser was not Of great value
but II was considered better 10 Sink
her than 10 leave her free to do what
ever little damage she might nave
done.
Lieutenant Vothis, commander OF the
torpedo boat which last night sank t'e
Turkish battleship Feth-I-Bulend al
Salonica, to-day sent the following re-
port Of the incident to the govern
ment:
THE forts OF Karabun were flashing
their searchlights increasingly between
the estuary Of the Karavofanare and
the mouth OF the Vardar River, but l
passed safely in. Making full steam
for Salonica, ! arrived at 1l:2O O'Clock
in the evening.
II discovered a Turkish cruiser at
the left extremity of pier. At the
right extremity were other vessels, in
Guiding a Russian warship. | man9u-
vred cautiously, escaped detection and
launched a torpedo at a distance of loO
metres from the starboard side Of my
vessel. Then turning slightly to the
left | launched another from the port
side. Then l steamed away at full
speed to a safe distance and again
turning | discharged a third torpedo
at the breakwater.
Then such an explosion was heard
that we thought a cannon had been
fired on land. After the first explosion
we noticed lights moving about on the
cruiser and heard whistles being blown,
The officers quarters were lit up by the
explosion, which occurred at a spot a
little forward Of the right funnel.
Dense volumes of smoke poured
from the funnel and the vessel lurched
forward by the bows. ! then departed
at full speed, passing In front of Kara
bun, which certainly had been apprlZeu
of the event from SalOnica as the fort
ress blazed all OF its searchlights.
AS we passed, unnoticed, I carried
out a promise previously made by
gunners and fired a shot at the fortress
from a range Of $500 metres"
Constantinople. Nov. 1.-The com
mander of the Feth-I-Bulend tele-
graphs that almost all the crew Of the
warship was saved. He reports that
the Greek torpedo boat entered the
harbor Unexpectedly at midnight and
launched two torpedoes at the stern
OF the Turkish vessel, which began 10
sink Immediately. The commander,
three engineers and four bluejackets
were thrown into the water, where
they were rescued by fishing boats.
