london. Oct. 25.-The Bulgarians
Greek armies have carried out sue
cessfully, their part of the first stage
of the war waged by the Balkan states
against Turkey by the capture of
Kirk Kilisseh and the Turkish base in
the town of Servia. Their allies Mon

desperately to do their share by over

and Kumanova, which latter is the

Details of the great battle between
the Buiearians and the Turks at
Kirk kilisseh are still lacking. 1t is
said thai the Bulgarians expected the
fortress to mold out longer and its
quick fall is considered by them a
great achievement.
The vieters now expect to cut the
communications between Adrianople
and Sonstantinople and to take the
former city. That. however, will, in
the opinion of military experts, be q
difficult task as the forts of Adrian

are connected by an underground mo-

Washington. Oct. 25.-The serious
situation in Cuba. as demonstrated by
last nights rioting in Havana, is ex-
citing the grave solicitude of the Unit
ed States government. Reports indi-
cate that there are good grounds for
the apprehension that has existed for
some time among officials here that
the approaching election period in Gu
ba would be a most critical test of the
stability of the island republic.
Between now and next Friday, cleo
ton day, many political meetings are
to be held throughout the island, with
every indication that there will be
clashes between the two great parties
like the one at Havana, last night.
Even if the Gomez government is able
to handle these pre- election riots, Of
ficials fear the defeated party will not
abide by the result, but will break out
in open revolution. The Conservative
leaders, it is reported, have already
given warning sof such an intention,
basing their threat upon the allegation
that President Gomez has been favor
ing the Zayistas, or Liberal party, of
which he is representative. although
Zayist himself processes to DISTRICT
President Gomez, with whom he has
had bitter personal quarrel.
In the opinion of the Cuban minis
ter, Senior Rivero. there is no founda-
ton for the reports that President Go
mez is seeking to resign his office al
this critical moment, and he is posi-
tive that the President will maintain
an attitude of strict impartiality.- The
minister himself has been in confer
ence with the state department officials
here in regard to the situation. which
he confidently believes is within the
control of President Gomezs govern
ment.
The general staff of the army has
available a workable project for thu
dispatch to Cuba of sufficient force
probably about $1,000 nen-to take
charge of the island if condition:

New York, Oct. 25.-Police Lieuten-

planning his fight to annul the YER

Becker has lost none of the iron

trial and the ordeal of hearing him
self condemned as guilty if his appear

breakfast summoned his chief attor-

In Maine Endorsing The
National Administration
Predicts Chairman Of The Re-
publican State Committee.


Hon. Warren c. Philbrook, chair
man of the Republican State commit
tee. predicts an old-time Republican
vote in Maine, Nov. 5, endorsing the
present administration and urges the
voters of Maine to remember that
Democratic administration would
mean business conditions for Maine g
hundredfold worse than could arise
from Canadian reciprocity.
Mr.. Philbrook has devoted his entire
time to the Republican cause ever
since the middle of last April and IL
still doing so. which places him in
nosition to have an intimate knoWl-
edge of the political situation and ne
is enthusiastic over the way the Iaft
sentiment is growing in Maine. In
statement, Friday, he says:
THE Republican prospects in this
State are growing brighter each day.
Reports are coming to me from every
quarter showing the splendidly In
creasing momentum of the movement
toward President Taft, SO that by the
time election day comes on we are
sure of an old-time Republican vote
endorsing the present administration.
LET the people remember how
much 1t means for the future prosper
ity of Maine to have the Republican
party continued in power; let them
reflect upon the unparalleled good
times we are having under President
Taft: let them not forget that Demo-
cratic administration means business
conditions for Maine hundredfold
worse than could arise from Canadian
reciprocity, now a thing of the past.
let them make individual and concert
ed efforts to be at the polls on cleo
ton day, and they will be proud OF
their State, proud of the party now In
power and proud of any contributions
of time and labor made toward a good
cause"

wounded. broke out after midnight in
Central park. in the heart of the city,
at the close of an immense outdoor
meeting of supporters of Vice Presi-

date for the Presidency.
The meeting was conducted peace
fully until the last speaker ascende /
the platform, when number of shots
were fired apparently by a group of
Conservatives gathered in front of a
hotel.
Instantly the crowd began to dis
perse and the fusillade became general,
extending across the park and down
the Prado.
For 10 minutes the firing was so
brisk as to resemble the rattle of ma
chine guns.
Strong forces of mounted police ant
cavalry charged repeatedly with drawn
| machetes and firing revolvers. The mol
returned the fire from the windows ant
porches of the house. A crowd of ad
