Mustapha Pasha, Important
Town on Turkish Side of
Frontier, is Captured

LONDON. Oct. 19.--Successes OF
the Balkan allies against Turkey were
indicated by all dispatches from the
near-east today.
Most advices were from ahti-Turk,
ish sources and 1t was likely they
exaggerated the advantages the apies
were said to have gained. Also,
though there has been considerable
sanguinary skirmishing, nothing OF
the proportion Of real battle has
occurred.
Reports of the Buigarians' capture
Of Mustapha Pasha, on the Turkish
side of the frontier, were generally
accepted as true. A strong detach-
ment of Seryians, II was learned from
reliable sources, was marching across
the Sanjak of Novibazar-Turkish
soil-to aid the Montenegrins who
have invaded Northern Albania. The
Greek invasion of Turkey was said
thus far to have been unopposed.
Desperate fighting was reported be.
tween Turkish troops and the com.
bined Bulgarian and Servian forces
upon Uskob. OF its result,
nothing had been learned. The Turks,
were said to be holding out against
the Montenegrins at Scutari and to
have captured the town of Blajevo,
Just within the Servian frontier.
Nazim Pasha, Turkish minister OF
war, started for the front today, ac-
cording to message from Constan-
tinople. accompanied BY a bie<retinuc
of foreign military observers and war
correspondents. !.
