Greeks Clearing the Way.

London, Oct. 22.-The armies of
Servia, Bulgaria and Greece continue
to clear their way to their main OBJ
jective points, the Turkish fortresses
of Uskup, Adrianople and Servia, the
last of these a Turkish town on the
Grecian frontier.
Greek armies have crossed the
Turkish. frontier at two points. In
Epirus, at the western end they have
occupied the heights of Grimbovo,
while at the eastern end they are pur-
suing the Turkish troops to their
base at Servia, where an important
battle is expected to be fought. Vic
tory here would carry the Greeks ap-
preciably near to the Monastir and
Saloniki road.
The Servian armies probably are
having the hardest. fighting just now.
They are operating toward Uskup and
Prishtipa, and further north in the
district of Noyipazar, and have to
contend not only against Turkish reg
ulars, but also against the Arnauts,
fiercely fighting Albanian tribesmen.
The Servians have obtained posses
sion of the mountain pass leading to
Prishtina.
The reported intention of the Bull
garian army to avoid Adrianople and
head direct for Constantinople is dis
missed as impracticable by military
men.
Bulgarian Army Forcing Position.
The town of Kirk-Kilesseh is still
held by the Turks, although it was
rumored today that the Bulgarians
had taken the outer positions.
The western Bulgarian army, like
the, Servian army, is fighting against
large bodies of men, assisted by Tur-
kish artillery, and from all accounts
there has been some stiff skirmish-
ing, in which the Bulgarians have
been victorious.
The Montenegrin army apparently
is inactive at present.

city's Surrender Demanded.

vera Cruz, Mex, Oct. ga de-
mand for the surrender of the city
was sent yesterday by General Bel
tran, the commander of the federal
troops. The letter was brought to
the rebel lines by Captain Limon and
was couched in most polite terms. con-
Guiding with the intimation that If
the rebels did ont surrender. duty
would obilge the federal commander
to use force. When the loyal ennis
sary entered the city he embraced
the revolutionary cornet who met
him. They had been schoolmates.
Gen. Felix DiaZ, receiving to the
note, thanked General Beltran for the
polite form of the communication and
said he was sorry the situation would
compel him to offer a forcible de-
fense.
At the same time he asked General
Beltran to fix the longest possible
time for the evacuation of the city by
the non-combatants.
General Diaz then sent copies Of
both communications to the foreign
consuls, asking that foreigners in the
city should make an inventory of the
effects left behind them when they
moved out and promising to indemni-
fy them as soon as possible for the
damage that might be entailed by the
battle.
General Diaz also addressed COM
munication to Capt. Charles Hughes,
commander of the United States cruz
ser Des Moines, saying that he would
conduct the situation according to in
ternational law and specifically say
ing it is unnecessary to disembark
American marines on my account"
The federal commander also ad-
dressed the American consul, saying;
II shall not attack the city before
the lapse of twenty-four hours and
during that time Americans should
seek safety"
General Diaz has since asked Cen
eral Beltran to name the time and
place at which non -combatants could
pass both lines.
Captain Hughes has conferred with
Commodore Azueta, the federal naval
commander, as to what would be his
attitude during the fighting. Com
modore Azueta promised not to par
ticipate nor to fire in the direction
Of the city.

RAPID PROGRESS HAS BEEN
MADE IN CONSTRUCTION
OF THE ROAD.
TIE SHORTAGE EXPERIENCED
Construction Company Expects to
Have Line Completed from City to
the Altamaha River Probably Be-
fore End of Present Year.

With more than five miles of track
laid, rapid progress has been made
on the local end of the extension of
the Georgia Coast & Piedmont rail-
road, and the work is now being
somewhat interfered with by shortage
of crossties, which has been expert
enced during the past few days.
Those who. have visited the scene
of the construction work have really
been surprised at the rapid progress
made. Though work was started only
a few weeks ago, the right Of way has
been completed almost the entire dis
tance between the city and Dents
rice field, while track has been laid
almost half the entire distance. A
large force of hands has been at
work and track-laying has been push
ed with all possible rapidity.
The shortage of crossties, it is
thought will only retard the work
for a short time, as the construction
company has large force of men
cutting ties in the woods along the
right -of-way and at the same time is
purchasing ties elsewhere.
News has been received in the city
that rapid progress is also being made
on the lagre trestle, which is
being constructed by one, of the large
northern steel mills 1t is not known
exactly, however, when the trestle
will be shipped, but it is expected
early in the coming year. 1t will
take several months to place it in
position after it arrives in the city.
The work of extending the road
from Darien to the Altamaha river,
on the Mcintosh county side, has
been practically completed. 1t is the
intention of the builders to have the
line between Brunswick and the river
banks on the one side and Darien
and the banks on the other side en-
tirely finished and under operation
when the bridge is in position. In
this connection it may be of interest
to state that the owners of the line
are anxious to get the Brunswick ex-
tension under operation at the earl
lest possible moment, and everything
possible is being done in order to
avoid any delay whatever.

New York, Oct. 22.-Campaign
managers are revising plans and alt
ering arrangements for the wind-up
Of the presidential campaign. The
INJURY to Colonel Roosevelt. the vol
untary Withdrawal of Governor Wilso,,
from the stump and the fact that
neither President Taft nor Vice Pres
ident Sherman have taken part in
the active work of the campaign,
have resulted in changing plans in all
three OF the political camps.
The ensuing two weeks will wit

the sections where the respective
campaign managers believe the out
look is most favorable for the cap
ture of disputed ground Governor
Johnson, progressive vice presidential
candidate, is to fill in most of Col

tic leaders are rushing a number of
their chief speakers into Pennsyl-
vania and New York to take up the
work planned originally for Governor
Wilson.
The, democratic campaign will en-
ter into Pennsylvania from this time
forth, according to statements made
here. A score of democratic senators
and congressman who have been
speaking throughout the country will
be sent into the state this week with
the hope of making inroads on here

The republican fight also is to be
quickened in the East with a concen-
tration of forces in New York state.
Secretary of, State Knox is to deliver
a a2number of speeches in eastern
cities, including Buffalo and New
York. 1t is expected thta Senator
Lodge and Secretary Meyer VIII Join

already includes Secretaries Nagel

Adam Bede and John M. Harlon of
Chicago, who followed Colonel Roose-
welt throughout his tntire tour, will
stump New England and the eastern

There are only two ways possible
to provide for this fund; one is to get
a special act passed by the next ,eg-
islature, asking for a constitutional
amendment, allowing a municipality
to refund her bonds; the other is to
levy a special tax sufficient to pay
bonds at maturity. This will work
hardship on the taxpayers and pos
sibly put the tax rate to $190 against
the present $1.45 for the next nine
years. This will not allow any per-
manent improvements. The first plan
is the best, as it will allow the
city to issue additional bonds for
ed permanent improvements, which
is absolutely necessary at the press
ent time.

LOOTING OF SAN FRANC

Business" Bought Gov
Mayors, and
San Francisco, April 8.-What
will be, perhaps, the most remark
able public document of America
soon is to be given to the public.
Abe Ruef, former political boss
of San Francisco, and now felon
in San Quentin state penitentiary,
known merely by a number, is to
write the inside story of his life
and political crookedness and of
the lives and political crookedness
of those who joined with him in
the looting of a great city.
His story will be in detail. 1t
will involve many a member of

involve big Business" men and
politicians from James N. Gillett,
former governor of the state, and
justices of the supreme. court,
down to the meanest of the old
San Francisco ward heelers.
To realize just what Ruef's
story will mean it is necessary to
recall the San Francisco situation.
Other American cities than
San Francisco have been looted;
but none ever was looted more
thoroughly. In no place was the
alliance between big Business"
and the politicians more criminal
ly close.
