TURKS STOP 6ULeARs.
Fresh Troops and Supplies Enable
Firm Stand at Tchatalja.

London = Dispatches from Nazim
Pasha, the Turkish commander-in-
chief, show that the artillery duel
along the Tchatalja lines has contin-
ued for two days, but the Porte an
nounced that Bulgaria bad consented
to negotiate, with view to an armis-
tice and to a discussion of peace
terms.
The Turks claim successes against
the Bulgarians, but there is nothing
to indicate that the Bulgarians have
made any serious attempt to pene-
trate the lines. The battle may be
ended at any moment by Turkey ac-
cepting the allies terms for an armis-
tice, which are said to include the
surrender of the Tchatalja lines, Ad-
rianople, Durazzo and Scutari-
There is a possibility, however, that
Turkey may decline to surrender Tcha-
talja. While her western army has
been completely defeated, she still
possesses, according to the correspon-
dents at the front, a homogeneous
army behind the Tchatalja fortifica'
lions largely composed of some of hel
best fighting material from the Asia
tic provinces, which has not yet beef
| in action.
Moreover, the decentralization ant
disorganizstion that followed the Kirl
Kilisseh and Lule Burgas retreats ap
pear to have been remedied and tn
army is now well supplied with foo
and ammunition.

determination on zapalIsIas.
BIT Little Real Roadway Is Made
Insurrectos Demand Heavy Trib-
ure From Landowners.

Mexico City-No fewer than rs viii
lagos have been destroyed in the state
Of Oaxaca in the last ten days by gov
eminent troops. The administration
believes the revolutionists in that vi
cinity have been cowed by the terrible
warfare that has been waged, and
sanctioned orders for the retirement
of the greater part of the federals
from that state.
Five hundred Indians have surren-
dered. but large part of these were
without arms, affording some basis for
the unofficial declarations that little
of real value had been accomplished
towards the subjugation of the rebels,
who it is feared by the residents of
the City of Oaxaca will redouble their
efforts with the added motive of re-
venge.
In spite of the fact that the federals
in all districts containing Zapatistas
have been using the right conferred
by the suspension of the guarantees to
execute summarily, there is little, if
any, improvement in the general stu
alton. In no fewer than 40 engage
ments reported last week the federals
claim victories, but these for the most
part have been insignificant, since the
rebels ordinarily retire as soon as
possible, doubtless to save ammuni-
ton.
Two circulars have been issued,
signed by Zapata. One demands that
the owners of the haciendas unite to
contribute 5000 pesos week to the
rebels cause in certain fixed areas,
the other urges planters to hurry the
work of the poems on their plantations
as much as possible, because Zapats
soon will require all able-bodied men
Destruction of their properties is the
alternative offered.

Eastern Land Show.
Chicago-W ahhah Gun Ia. Chief
Firemaker, the 131-year old Blackoot
Indian from Glacier reservation, is on
his way East to attend the United
States Land show.
Chief Firemaker is believed to be
the oldest human being in the world,
having been born in the region now
known as Glacier National Park in
1881, according to Observation-Disclosures
traditions. He was the first red man
in that territory to visit the Great
White Father, and his journey to the
national capital when President JEFF
ferson was in the White House was a
memorable event in his life.
He is regarded in his tribe as an
oracle. At the time of his birth, SO
the Indian legend goes, the Father OF
All Spirits, standing on mountain,
shot an arrow near his fathers tepee.
The prophecy as interpreted by the
medicine men is that he would live
forever, and assist the gods in their
councils.

insane AsyIums.

The great Greek physicians had de-
voted much attention to insanity, and
some Of their precepts anticipated
modern discoveries. but no lunatic asy-
lum appears to have existed in an
tiquity. In the first period OF the

been opened for the insane at Jerusa-
