Conservatives and Liberals in Clash
in Heart of City.


Havana.-More than 20 persons
were wounded here in pitched street
battle between conservatives and lib
erals, in which several hundred shots
were fired. The trouble started at the
close of meeting of liberals, support
ers of Vice President Alfredo Zayas,
candidate for the presidency, and
number of conservatives who favor
the reelection of President Gomez.
The fight was precipitated by the
conservatives attempting to force the
liberals from the sidewalk in front of
the Hotel Ingleterra. The battle ragged
about central park, in the heart Of the
city, until mounted police and cavalry
charged the fighters with drawn mach
etes. President Gomez placed his res
ignation in the hands of the secretary
of state, but he was forced to with
draw it by the conservatives who in
sisted that he stay in the fight.

TURKS ARE DRIVEN
BACK RAPIDLY
Servians March Into Uskup
Unopposed and Adrianople
is Invested.

London.-The swiftness and effic1-
ency of the onward movement OF the
armies of the allied Balkan states Is
making Europe open her eyes. From
the north and all along the line from
Greece on the south they are crowd
ing back the boundaries of the Otto
man Empire in Europe. The often
predicted and long delayed day when
the Turk will have his back against
the wall seems at hand.
The two pivotal points Of Turkeys
defense on the north were Adrianople
and Uskup. The Bulgarian army in
The east has defeated the Turks at
Kirk-Kilisseh, which is the strongest
outpost of Adrianople, and invested
that fortress.
The Servian army in the west walk
ed into Uskup without opposition. The
Turkish garrison there withdrew on
the railway toward Saloniki.
Events about Adrianople are even
more important. The Bulgarians ap-
parently are proceeding successfully
with the investment of the fortress.
The Turkish army which was defeat
ed at Kilisseh did not fall back
upon Adrianople, according to news,
but took the road to the south, where
it could connect with the railway to
Constantinople. The second Bulgar-
ian army followed through the noun
tains, carrying on the fight all day in
an endeavor to cut off the retreating
forces.
The military authorities are asking
how many men Turkey has in Adrian
ople and how long they will be able
to Withstand a siege. There is gen.
eral belief that if the Bulgarian in
vestment is completed and railway
communication with Constantinople
cut the Turks will be starved out
within a month.
In the meantime the Montenegrins
are pushing their attack on Scutari.
The Greeks have entered a few small
towns in the course of their advance
to the north.

developed since Lieutenant Becker

first degree. The men who did their
duty-the judge of the court, the law
yers for both sides, jurors and wit
nesses-cannot walk the streets with
a feeling of safety.

trict Attorney Whitman has received
threats that he will not live to prose
cute another case, and John F. McIn-

no secret of his belief that his life
is in danger.
Friends Of the jurors who convicted
Becker have been getting anonymous
letters and telephone calls, some of
which have been alarming. Justice
Golf, District Attorney Whitman, At
torney Mcintyre and others who dis
like sensationalism, have sought to
minimize the facts that indicate that
men who hire out for assassination
and assaults seek an opportunity to cap
the Rosenthal case with crime more
atroclous even than the killing of Ros-
enthal, but the facts are that vicious
threats have been received and that
precautions are being taken by the
men threatened.
