Turkish Army Meets Defeat at Hands
of 6ulsarians and Their Allies in
Great Battle on the Thracian
plains.

London.-The Turkish army Is In
full retreat on Constantinople and the
Turkish government has asked the
powers to intervene.
An official bulletin was issued by
the government at Constantinople
Sunday night admitting defeat at the
hands of the Bulgarians in the great
battle on the Thracian plains.
Application was made to the en-
bassy in Constantinople Sunday night
for mediation by the powers to end
the hostilities and arrange peace
agreement.
The ambassadors, piror to this, had
asked the porte to grant permission
to each of the great powers to send
warships through the Dardanelles and
this has not been complied with. The
only guaranty of safety for the native
Christians and perhaps foreigners in
Constantinople is to be found in the
defense of warships of the great
powers in the harbor of the Turkish
capital
1t is the general belief that Bulgaria
will insist that Turkey make an ap-
peal direct to the allies without inter-
i ference from the powers.
The powers have not been able to
agree upon the French premier's for

stable where the horse was kept, held
up the man in charge at the point of
a revolver, rode the animal into the
hills and at point five miles from

oats and then put bullet through its
head. Lying down beside the dead
horse, Shipley sent a bullet through
