BALKAN TROUBLE
 AROySES EUROPE
Greece and SGrVIa J1in h
 Threatened War on Turkey.
TO MOBILIZE ARMY AND NAVY.
RuIaaria Also Joins Uprising Against Ottoman Empire - Servian Minister Will Leave ConstantinopIe if Turkey Does Not Comply With Demand.

Will Leave ConstantinopIe if Turkey
 Does Not Comply With Demand.
 Dispatches from all the lesser states of southeastern Europe indicated that the Balkan situation had assumed a most menacing aspect. It appeared that Greece, as well as Bulgaria and Servia, had joined the general plan to mobilize armies.
 Diplomatic officials of the powers were more pessimistic in their views of the possibility of restoring peace In this they but followed the more out spoken tone of the continental news papers, At the same time concerted effort of the powers was expected to have some effect in restraining the warlike spirit of those clamoring for revolt against the Turk.
 The news from the centers most con cerned in the Balkan imbrOgliO is meager. A late dispatch from Athens confirms the earlier reports that Greece has come in line with Bulgaria and Servia and orders an immediate mobilization.
 The order affects the Greek navy as well as the army. The reported no Utilization of the Montenegrin fighting forces has not been confirmed.
 Athens has been all excitement since ;I definite order to mobilize the army was issued. The decision to issue the order followed long conferences be- tween the Greek foreign minister and the Bulgarian and Servian ministers.
 The official reason given for the mo- bilization Is that Greece Is actuated by her membership In the Bulgarian Servian-G Greek entente, and the three governments concerned fear that the mobilization of the Turkish army and the disQuieting Internal conditions in Turkey may result In Turkey attack ing the neighboring states with view of finding an issue, for her own diff culties.
 While the porte has professed opti- mism in regard to the Balkan situation, the diplomats were no more hopeful for peace than they were. AS an Instance of this the Greek minister at Constantine pie, M Gryparis, Is quoted as saying that matters have taken serious turn and that Greece has ordered all Greek ships to leave Turkish waters and re called the Greek officers who are on leave.
 The Servian minister has handed note to the porte, and the manner of its presentation and the nature of its text practically amount to an, ultima tum from Servia. Servia asks Turkey to decide within forty-eight hours whether to allow the detained war munitions to go to Servia or to be re- turned to the manufacturers in France.
 It is understood that If Turkey does not comply with the demand the Ser vian minister will leave Constantino-

 "Is anybody surprised|' was his only comment
 What is the moral of the result in New Jersey?" was the next question

Will Thos. B. Fielder, OF Atlanta, attor-
ney for the former dispensary winding-up
commission, be arrested in South Caro-
lima, on his way to the National Democrat
ic Convention, to which he is delegate?
Governor Blease says he has issued in
structions to the sheriffs of Greenville and
Spartanburg counties to arrest Fielder
should he pass through their territory.
Sheriff Lyon, OF Abbeville, has received no
direct Sinstructions from the governor,
but says that if the opportunity presents
itself he will make the arrest should the
Georgia lawyer select the Seaboard route
via Abbeville for his journey to Baltimore
1t will tbe remembered that an indict-
ment was sworn out in this state against
Fielder, but the governor Of Georgia, upon
the recommendation Of the Bar Associa-

Baltimore Convention and that he will go
with the Georgia delegation.

night, near Due West. The convicts wer @
In charge of Mr. John Wardlaw. Lem Say
age and Horton Fuller have since surren-
dered, and the sheriff and rural policemen
are hunting for the others.
All the conyicts were chained together
and the chain fastened to stake which
was driven into the ground. The stake
was pulled up and the convicts carried off
two axes with them with which they cut
the chains loose. There is no night guard
on duty and Mr.. Wardlaw, in charge Of
the gang, was sleeping near by and knew
nothing Of the escape until daylight. The
convicts had been gone too long for the
dogs to track them, and they could not be
used to any advantage.
Sheriff Lyon is sending photographs OF
the escaped negroes to sheriffs and other
officers and it is believed they will be cap
tured.
