NUMBER OF IMMIGRANTS
SHOWS DECIDED SLUMP
In Chief Inspector Dubose's October
Report-Many Mexicans Now Re-
turning to Mexico.

The report to the department or
commerce and labor by the immigra-
tion station of the port of Browns
Vile for the month of October shows
a decided slump, when compared
with previous summer months, in
the number Of applications for entry
through this port. The report was
mailed to Washington yesterday by
H. G.. Dubose, chief immigration in
spector for this port.
The decrease is due, no doubt, to
the fact that the cotton picking sea-
son in South Texas is practically
over. Numerous Mexicans are arriv-
ing in Brownsville daily from the
north, bound for their homes in
North Mexico, where they will re-
main until the next cotton picking
season arrives, unless they have
found other employment.

An extraordinary series of dis

that he had recaptured Bunarhissar
md was still holding his own against
.he Bulgarian advance, were pub
lished in nstantinople today.
In the absence of independent

ions as to the accuracy of the tele-
grams are possible. They may be

stages of the struggle
On the other hand they may
mean that the Bulgarian victory

he Sofia dispatches.
Except for the general statement
hat the Turks are retreating toward
chataldja, fighting rear guard ac-
lions, no details of the battle are
'orthcoming from Sofia tonight.
However, the arrival of 5000
wounded in Constantinople tells its
own story. Despite optimistic re-
