received a charter, and that It now
wished to have them legalized under the
act. DR.. John II. Huddleston told the
committee tnat the maternity warn was
urgently needed.
Another application was from the Har-
lem Reformed Church, founded in 1860, to
establish a general dispensary at No. $50
East l22d street. directly back Of its East
Side headquarters in Elmendorf Chapel.
T.. W. Summers. representing the Har-
lem Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital, ar
gued against the granting OF charter
which would allow the church to spe-
cialize on the treatment Of eye, ear and
throat diseases. but stated that he had
no objection 10 the establishment OF
general dispensary in the neighborhood.
Miss Evelyn NJ. Goldsmith, who went
20 Europe several years ago with the
Moseley commission TO study the care OF
crippled children, applied for permission
10 incorporate a seaside home for Grip
pied children at Arverne, Long Island.

dred crippled children In the public
schools OF the city and that the need for
such work was great.

and Hospital, now in East Sith street,

poration at No. 81 West 5Oth street. under
the name Of the Polytechnic Hospital.

Island Near Entrance to OAR
danelles Occupied.

Athens, Nov. 6.-Forces landed to-
day from a Greek naval squadron occu-
pied the Turkish island Of Tenedos'
near the entrance to the Dardanelles.
Negotiations for the surrender OF
salonica were opened on Friday last
between the foreign consuls and the
military authorities, but the Turkish
commander demanded that his troops
he allowed to march out with their
arms and with all the honors OF war
so that the negotiations fell through.
The civil governor is said to have COM
mitted suicide.
The Greek newspapers in discussing
the proposed general armistice say 1t
can be accepted only on condition that
the Turkish throne be transferred 10
Asia Minor, and that reforms for the
benefit Of the Christian population
there must also be introduced.

Turkish garrison Of Scutari fired on a
steamer on Lake Scutari. on board Of
which the Austrian military attache
and a delegation Of Montenegrins were
conveying a demand for the surrender
Of. the town. The steamer was flying
the white flag at the time.
The commandment Of Scutari has since
apologized for the firing by his troops,
declaring that their action was attrib-
utable to overexcitement
The Turkish commandment refuses to
believe the news of the Bulgarian VIC
tories in the eastern zone Of the war,
while he ridicules also the entry Of the
Servian troops into Uskub.
In reply TO the Montenegrin demand
for the surrender Of Scutari he de-
clared he was fully prepared to defend
the CITY. which could Withstand a
three months siege.
sharp fighting is going on to the
south OF Scutari, near the Busate
Mountains.

AUSTRIAN KAISER SPEAKS
Emperor Hopes for Peace, but
Says His Army Is Ready.

Budapest, Nov. 6.-The desire for
peace OF the Austro- Hungarian gov
eminent was voiced to-day by En-
peror Francis Joseph in replying as
King Of Hungary to the addresses OF
the presidents OF the delegations. After
thanking them for the assurances they
had given OF their loyal devotion, his
majesty said:
"Since the meeting Of the last de'e-
cations grave warlike complications
have broken out in the Balkan penin-
sula which demand increased vigilance,
in view of the fact that important in
terests Of the monarchy are affected by
the conflict
AN early return Of settled political
and commercial conditions IN the Near
East appears urgently desirable. My
government will be ready in agreement
with the allied cabinets, and at the
proper moment TO participate in any
action Of the great powers having as
its aim the restoration Of peace. Dur
ing the last session Of the delegations
extraordinary credits for the army an /
navy were voted with praiseworthy
Through these credits
the efficiency OF our defensive forces
has been strengthened in a gratifying
manner"

TURKISH LOSS APPALLING
twenty-five Thousand Men in
Five Days of Fighting.

Sofia, Nov. 6.-The Turkish army
commanded by Nazim PaGha was COM
pletely crushed in the great battle of
the last two days on the Serai-Tchorlu
line. According TO the semi-oflicial
Mir" the Turks lost in killed and
wounded more than double the losses
at Lule Burgas. The Bulgarians are
now pursuing the defeated enemy.
Regular communication has been re-
stored between Lule Burgas and Kirk
Kilisseh by railroad.
The Bulgarian army in Macedonia Is
advancing rapidly down the valley Of
the Struma. The troops have occupied
the Rupel Pass and are continuing
their march upon the town Of Series.
The Turkish losses in killed and
wounded during the five days fighting
in the vicinity of Lule Burgas and
Bunarhissar are estimated nj $4,000
men. The Bulgarian troops captured
thirty-seven batteries Of quick-fring
guns and took two thousand prisoners.
They also seized four locomotives and
243 railroad cars.
According to statements made by
prominent public men IN Sofia Bulgaria
will reject mediation until Tchataldja
has been captured and Adrianople has
fallen, and, although 1t is said that
entry into Constantinople is no part Of
the allies plan, Bulgaria will not listen

SERVIANS TAKE M0NASTIR
Dispatch from Rome Reports
Surrender of Stronghold.

Rome, Nov. 6-The Turkish strong
hold Of MonasEr surrendered at 2
o'clock this afternoon to the Servian
troops, according 10 a dispatch from
Belgrade to the "Tribuna."
The whole Of the 9Th Army Corps,
commanded by Fethi Pacha, was sta
toned at Monastir, and many Turkish
troops fleeing from other posts in the
province have taken refuge there since
the beginning Of hostilities. The dis
patch does not say whether this great
Turkish army surrendered TO the In
vaders.
Monastir has been the scene OF many
massacres. Half Of its population OF
1000 processes the Christian faith.

Constantinople, Nov. 6.-The Council
Of Ministers sat until II o'clock to-
night discussing the military situation
and the question of mediation. Several
prominent generals were invited to give
an opinion on the position of the army.
Comprehensive measures have been
adopted for the protection Of the city
and the fear Of disorders is decreasing,
particularly since the foreign warships
have arrived.
The public is astonished and dunn
founded at the repeated Turkish re-
verses. 1t is now recognized on all
sides that the end has come.
The Mussulman population of the
towns along the Dardanelles, although
depressed, maintains calm. Some anti
Greek incidents Of small Importance
are reported from the outlying viii
lagos
Fear Nazim Is Dead.
A persistent rumor is current that
the Turkish commander, Nazim Pacha,
is missing. and it is feared that he has
been killed or made prisoner.
The blockade Of the Bulgarian coast
will be abandoned, as the ships are
needed for the defence of Constantine
pie.
II is reported that preparations have
been made for the Sultan to proceed to
Brusa, in Asia Minor, If the Bulgarians
capture the Tchataldja lines.
The threat Of the Turks to abandon
Constantinople entirely is believed to
have been prompted by desire TO
stimulate the action OF the powers IN
the matter Of Intervention between the
belligerents.
The Turkish headquarters stan has
decided to take up its position immedl-
ately behind the town Of TchataldJa
and to await there the coming fight
with the Bulgarian troops.
The left wing and centre of the re-
treating Turkish army are said to have
made their retirement in good order
but the troops forming the right wing
were in a state Of panic and demorah-
zation. They achieved considerable
success in the fighting, but finding
themselves without food fed to the
south, abandoning everything.
It is hoped by the Turkish staff that
the flight Of the fugitives will be
stopped at Tchataldja, to which place
many trainloads of bread have been
dispatched since Sunday.

TURKS RECOGNIZE
THE, ENDHAS COME
Astonished and Dumfounded at Repeated Re-
verses-Sultan May Leave Constantlnople
for Brusa, Asia Minor.

The Turkish soldiers place much Oh
the blame for their non-success on the
use of searchlights by the Bulgarians'
who were thus enabled to carry OUT
night attacks. The soldiers learned dur
ing the fighting to dread the rays OF
the searchllght.
Five transports conveying Turkish
troops which were sent TO Midia last
week were unable to land owing 10
the rough sea. They returned here yes
terday and the men were disembarkea
and sent to the Tchataldja forts
The government appears at present to
be able to control the local situation.
Vigorous measures for the preservation
of order have been taken by the
authorities The patrols in the streets
have been strengthened by til arrival
Of a large number Of military police
from the cities Of Ismid and Brusa,
about fifty miles from the capital, in
Asia Minor. These are helping to keep
the people in check.
Government Warns kurds'
A meeting oe Kurds was held yester-
day at ST. Sophia, at which various
questions affecting the war were dis
cussed. It was also suggested that
brigade of volunteers should be formed.
After the meeting the military gov
ernor Of Constantinople summoned the
leaders of the Kurds and warned them
that they would be held responsible II
any of their followers were in any way
concerned in starting trouble in the
capital.
Further troops have been sent to
guard all the approaches TO CONSTANT
nople so as to prevent the ingress OF
fugitives.
Notwithstanding these measures and
the arrival Of the foreign war vessels
the public is still unsettled, and nu-
merous families continue to leave for
abroad, while many Of those residing
in the suburbs are coming into the
inner city.
The medical authorities Of the city
have been notified TO prepare TO re-
ceive 10000 wounded from Lule Bur
gas and Visa. 1t is officially stated
that these are in addition to the $1,000
wounded men already in the city All
hospitals, including those Of the for
eign colonies, are crowded, and most Of
the schools and university buildings in
STEAMBOAT have been converted into hos
pitfalls.
