TURKS KILLING ONE
ANOTHER IN FLIGHT
Panic SEXES Ottoman Troops
Fleeing from Uskup, Which
Serbs Capture.

BELGRADE. Servia, Oct. est is
asserted here that the Turkish troops
evacuated Uskup in such haste that
they killed one another in fighting
for places in wagons and railroad
cars.
The Servlans captured IS field guns
and Is howitzers, with a not of rail-
road rolling stock. The Seryian army
pursued the Turks and overlook them
TN this plains beyond the city.
The Serbs inflicted another defeat
on the Turkish forces at Verisovitz,
where the Arnaut tribesmen lost 10
guns and 1000 rifles, while 1000 of
them were captured. The Servian
loss was 25 killed and 6wounded.
WASHINGTON. Oct, 2S.-Ohcial
dispatches from the Turkish minister
of foreign affairs received here today
by the Turkish AMBASSADOR are inter-
preted at the. embassy as news that
the Bulgarians have been ~repulsed
from Kirk-Kil;sseh with heavy loss,
and that the city has been retaken by
the Turks.
A Bulgarian defeat at Marasch also
is reported.
LONDON, Oct. 2S.-No confirmation
OF a report thai the Turkish troops
had recaptured Kirk Kilisseh from the
Bulgarians has beer received here.
The report is believed to be a repeti-
ton of the official statement made in
Constantfnople on Friday that the
.a,,,,-o aF Uy;r1 I-;Ite.nJ, hxy Tho NIL
garians was fiction. No credence is
attached here to the report.
A Rome dispatch says that news
was received there last night that
the Turks had surrendered Scutari to
the 'Montenesrins after several days
of bombardment.
This victory. following the capture
Of Uskup by the Servians and Istib
by the Bulgarians, apparently has
broken the Turkish power in Macedo-
mia and opened the road to Salonika
10 the northern armies of the allies.
In Sofia the capture of Uskup is
regarded as likely to have a greater
moral effect than the fall of Kirk
Kilisseh, as it will have a depressing
effect net only on Turkish troops but
on the whole Moslem population in
northern Macedonia, while 1T will
cause unbounded exultation in Ser
via and nerve the Servian army to
fresh ~endeavors.
According to a dispatch from Sofia,
the Bulgariant eastern army has talk

egic point. sixty miles southeast Of

The Bulgarians intercepted and
ainbuscaded the Turks, who were cut
up and dispersed, leaving their artil-
slery behind. 1t was brand new artil-
lery and Bulgarian gunnersD took il
on to join the besiegers.
Bulgarian military authorities are
confident thas Adrianople can be
starved out In less than two months
The troops are eager to be led to the
assault. but the commanders hest
tate because of heavy losses which
even a successful attack must cause.
The Greek army in Epirus has oc-
cupied the passes of Louros and Pan
~tepigedia, on the road TO Janina.
