THE TURKS DECLARE war
OTTOMAN EMPIRE ORDERS HER

Five Balkan States Unite in War
Against Turkey-Short War
Is Expected.

London, Observation-Disclosures that
Bulgaria, Seryia and Greece had de
clared war against Turkey was Civ.
en- to the British foreign office by
the representatives of these countries.
The only lormalty now lacking is
the declaration of war by Turkey
against Greece, which the Ottoman
government has appeared reluctant
to do.
This, however, is not delaying the
movements OF the various armies. The
Turkish and Bulgarian forces are
both advancing. Probably they will
meet near Mustapha Pasha, one of
the few passes through the mountains
leading from Bulgaria to Macedonia
The Servian army is on the way to
Uskup, where another big battle is
anticipated.
In northern Albania, where the
Turks and Montenegrins are striving
for supremacy, there is lull in the
fighting. Military authorities believe
the Montenegrins have been checked
both to the north and south of Lake
Scutari, or that they have fGHnd it
necessary to give their men a rest
after hard and Continuous fighting
Athens.-Thl Greek fleet has re.

All the retail stores in Athens are
closed and the people fiocked to the

which prayers were offered for the

THE CRUISER DIES MONIES HAS
ARRIVED AT VERA
CRUZ.
BATTLE is NOW EXPECTED
Rebel General Diaz Visits the Ship
Arrival of Curser Relieves the
Anxiety of Foreigners.

Vera Cruz.-The United States
cruiser Des Moines, in command of
Capt. Charles F. Hughes, steamed into
port here. An officer from the war
ship visited Gen. Felix Diaz, and ar
ranged an interview on behalf Of
Captain Hughes. General Diaz then
visited the Des Moines, where the
American captain and the leader Of
the new revolt had long conference,
the nature of which has not been di'
vulged.
While the Diaz revolutionists hold
the city and the Federals have taken
up positions on the outskirts, there
has been no coming together of the
two opposing forces as yet.
The feeling of anxiety among for.
eign residents has been considerably
relieved by the arrival of the Des
Moines, and it is considered probable
that a battle, if it is fought, will
take place beyond the city limits,
The Ward line steamer Segueranca
on her arrival here was warned by
Commodore Azueta, in command Of
the gunboat still loyal to the MeXl.
can government, not to disevharge its
cargo. Captain Jones of the steam,
ship was ordered by the company to
unload and declares his intention Of
doing so. The Seguaranca has on
board arms and ammunition for the
government, which will be seized by
General Diaz if landed. Great inter
est centers in the attitude which Com.
mOdore Azueta will assume in con
nection with the discharge of the car
go and what measures will be adopt.
ed by the Des Moines.
The soldiers of the Twenty first bat
TALON garrisoning Fort Uluca, located
on an island in the local harbor, have
revolted and Joined the revolutionary
forces of Felix Daz.
The gunbOats Brave and Morelos
opened fire on the refugees, killing
several and wounding others.
The soldiers of the garrison re-
NAMED inert, refusing to return the
fire of their comrades. The situation
at the island is especially SERIOUS, as
Fort Luluca is also used a peni-
tertiary.
Until the fire was opened by the
ISg pes d Morelos following the de.
ia atteof the garrison at Fort Uluca
it was difficult to understand the at
titude of the gunboats. Commodore
Azueta, commanding the warships
still loyal to the government kept his
guns and searchlights trained inces
sanity on the city, allowing no COM
munication between the boats and
shore
General Diaz has sought official
recognition for his propaganda by the
United States government. He said
he has represented his cause to the
authorities at Washington through the
American consul at Vera Cruz, claim
ing that his possession of two i'm
portant esaports and an army of ap
proXimately 1000 men entitled him to
proper recognition.

Represented Idaho for Nine Years,
Noted for Hostility to South.
Washington.-United States Sena-
tor Weldon Brinton Hepburn of Ida,
no died at his apartments here after
a lingering illness. He was 60 years
old and had been in the senate nine
years.
A complication of diseases inyolv
ing the heart and kidneys caused the
senator's death. The doctors thought
he was slightly improved, but death
came suddenly.
Senator Hepburn had for years
been a conspicuous figure in the sen
ate. He was most widely known, per
haps, for his unyielding bitterness to.
ward the South and frequent denun.
Citations of Southern Civil war lead
ers. He called the placing of Lees
statue in the capitol an insult to the
nation and in discussing this and
many other incidents engaged in &C
rimonous debates with Southern Dem
Ocrats.

little and big, and it is said that there

though many of the ladders are of

SLEPT SIX WEEKS.

When the strange case of the Iowa
woman who had slept constantly for
43 days was reported, many people
who could not sleep at all wished that
they might have a similar experience.
You would be surprised to know
how many people there are right
around here who hardly ever get more
than two or three hours sleep at
night, owing to bad health. general
weakness and worn-out condition.
Miss Louisa Ludwig. Newark. n. j..
who went through all this has written
a letter saying:
Having felt weak, tired and badly
rundown, with little appetite, and in
ability to sleep we'll, / began to take
Vinol which l had heard was the best
remedy for that condition. 1t has done
me great good by building up my
strength. improving my appetite and
enabling me to sleep soundly."
If you are worn out and weak and
want new strength SO you can eat
well. sleep we'll, and be we'll. Vinol.
our delicious cod liver and iron remedy
is what you need. and we guarantee
it to satisfy you. Leo II. Fihe, drug

Its Riot" the act of Milt Adams,
Winnie Hartleigh and Jack aRemy
which is playing at the Murray this
week. Their billing accurately des-
cribes just what one might expect
which is not always the case-a little
bit of everything including some piano
playing, singing, dancing, talking and
comedy. There is much of all of those
and then some more They will get in
good humor and keep you there for
thirty minutes, for you will not want
their act to run short of that time. AS
a comedian Jack Remy is all that
might be expected of leading come
dian in a $3.50 attraction. He is hui
morous, witty, original in all of his
work and has ample opportunities to
display his histronic ability. Miss Hart

cious entertainer and excells in her pi-
ano playing. Mr. Adams possesses a
musical voice and lends class and
bearing to a splendid act.
This act with the Umholt Bros, De
