was so constantly occupied with his
duties as presiding officer of the sem

Intervention Possible

London. Oct. 31.-The Bulgarian
army has completely defeated the
turkish force estimated at 200. 900
men at Lule Rugas after three days
OF terrific fighting. according to
News Agency dispatch from Sofa. The
Bulgarian cavalry is pursuing the re-
treating Turks.
Whatever the result Of the great
battle now being fought between the
turkish and Bulgarian armies in the
eastern part of the Balkan peninsula.
fts conclusion probably will give oc-
caston for the Intervention of the Eu-
ropean powers. Dispatches from vi.
emma asserted the foreign ministers OF
european governments have reached
tentative agreement in this matter.
and IN any event the entry Of the Bull
garlan troops into Constantinople will
not be tolerated by the powers. Even
Russia Is disinclined to permit such
an occurrence. 1t is understood in
diplomatic quarters in the Austrian
capitol that the Balkans nations have
| already made 1t known in an unoff1-
ctal- manner that they are prepared
to accept Intervention by the powers
at any moment.
Special dispatches from CONSTANT
nople are that the Turkish govern.
ment has decided to send out an Ot-
toman fleet with orders to open a
passage for Turkish transports
through the Aegean sea to SaIonika
and Dedeaghtch.
Steps are being taken by the Turk
