BULGARIAN PREMIER
MAKES STATEMENT
BEST FRIENDS OF TURKEY ARE
THOSE WHO ADVISE
AGAINST WAR.
TURKISH WEAKNESS SHOWN
~- EsFss! Ssgn
Balkan States Deprec ate War of Ex-
termination Talk and Say They Are
Not Going to Wipe Out the Turkish
Population.
TURKISH WEAKNESS SHOWN

Sofia, Oct. 25.-"If the powers SIN
cerely desire to pacify the Balkans,
peace can be concluded" said Pre-
mler Guechoff of Bulgaria, in an m
terview this morning. He continued:
The best friends of Turkey now
are those who advise her not TO pro-
long this hopeless struggle. The soon
er the Turks submit, the better it
will be for them and for humanity.
All friends of mankind much de-
precate the mischievous talk that this
war is one of determination. The
Balkan states have no intention of
eXterminating the Turkish population
The significance of the fall of the
Turkish stronghold of Kirk Kilisseh
lies in the fact that the Turks na0
gathered there the best troops in
their army and their best generals.
If they have failed to hold this strong
hold, they will scarcely be able TO
resist further south"
The Bulgarian and Greek arm1es
have successfully executed th>Cr part
OF the first stage of the war against
Turkey by the capture of Kirk Kills
sch and the Turkish base in the town
of Seryia. Their allies, Montenegro
and Servia, are now working des-
perately to do their share by over
coming the Turkish hosts at Scutari
and Kumanova.

SENTENCED TO DEATH BY COURT
MARTIAL AND EXECUTION
KEPT A SECRET.
PLEADING FOR GENERAL DIAz
IAz OPENINGS FOR INVESTMENT
Public Opinion So Strong Against the
Captured Rebel Leader, However,
That It is Thought He May Also
Get Death Sentence.

Vera Cruz, Oct 25.-FeliX Diaz.
the rebel leader is to receive treat
ment according to the military code.
and if orders are carried out. Diaz
and his comrades will be executeu.
A temporary writ has been issued
in Mexico City removing Diaz from
jurisdiction of the military court
When Diaz was captured he was
barely saved from lynching at the
hands of the iDfuriated populace.
Two of the captured officers OF teh
staff of Felix Diaz were shot by the
federal troops at 1890 last evening
after being sentenced to death by
summary court-martial. The exc
cution was carried out with absolute
secrecy. Their names were Major
Zarate and Major Cuesta,
The court martial began it's ses-
sions at O'Clock in the evening, and
its judgments must be delivered and
the yerdicts put into effect within
seventy two hours from the time of
the meeting
Major Fernando Zarate and Major
Julian Villas are pleading on behalf
of Diaz, who, according to military
law, is liable to Imprisonment for
from three to eight years
Public opinion against Diaz, how
ever, is so strong that it is thought
sentence of death may be pro
nounced on him as well as on all the
officers and government officials who
Joined his cause and were captured
! The troopers, however. who rebelled
will in all likelihood not be punish
ed.
Felix Diaz is to be brought before
the court martial this afternoon.
Some of the volunteers who Joined
Diaz belonged to leading families of
the city. Those of them who may be
captured will be sentenced to short
terms of Imprisonment, but many of
them have escaped to the country.
Commodore Azueta of the federal
navy, called last evening on General
Beltran, the federal commander in
chief, who received him coldly, tell
ing him that he did not adopt a def
mite attitude during the Dfaz revo-
luton. 1t is reported that the com
modore also is to be court martialed.
The garrison of Vera Cruz consists
of $500 men of all branches of the
service.
The city is perfectly quiet and bus
mess has been resumed
Governor Lagos Chasero has arriv-
ed from Jalapa, and says the entire
state is quiet, except at Tuxpan where
200 followers of Diaz still hold out.
Government troops have been sent
to fight them
Colonel Tapia, chief of the federal
irregulars, will leave tonight for the
northern part of the state to oppose
General Guilar, the revolutionary
leader, who is marching to the south
from Pueblo.
Hundreds Of alleged insurrectos
were arrested today.

GREAT CROWD CHEERS AS
TWO NEGROES ARE HANGED
EXECUTED AT CUMMINGS FOR
CRIMINAL ASSAULT AND
MURDER OF GIRL.


Cummings, Ca, Oct. 25.-This lit
tie city was declared to be in state
of insurrection by proclamation
which Governor Brown signed Th rs-
day morning. This action was taken
by the governor as a precedent to
protect the two negroes, Ernest Knox
and Oscar Daniel, the t2o negroes
who were hanged today for or q ipsl
assault and murder
A crowd Of twenty-five hundred
fathers, mothers and children stood
on high hill overlooking the scaf-
fold and Witnessed the execution. As
the trap was sprung by the sheriff
the crowd cheered and the ct.e.rs
lasted several minutes while the twS
forms dangled in mid air
In order to prevent the hanging
from being Witnessed by the people Of
Cummings and to prevent possible
trouble, high board fence was con-
structed around the scaffold. TITS
fence was set on fire last night AID
was quickly destroyed. Two com
panies Of militia kept the crowd back
several hundred yards from the sea-.
fold, but this did not prevent them
seeing the execution.
