Are Negotiations On?

There is no confirmation of the report
that the Turkish government has opened
direct negotiations with the allies. Tur-
keys immediate object appears TO be to
gain time, hoping for something from the
rivalaries of the European powers. She
is also making urgent diplomatic effort
to prevent the Bulgarian troops from
entering Constantlnople. In this connec-
ton there is an idea prevalent in Sofia
that some important diplomatic action is
afoot to this end.
With regard 10 the difficulty between
Sorvia and Austria, the Vienna Peichs-
post, In denying that and common action
by the triple alliance in Belgrade is IN
tended says Austria has no egotistical
plans regarding Albania, but is only anx-
ious to preserve Albanian national and
political freedom, and In this object has
the support of Germany and Italy. But,
the paper adds, there mere assurance by
Servia that she would not fortify her har-

Initiate French Revolution

Another revolutionary document, OBJ
tained by the police from Zapatista pris-

to reveal the intention of the zapata
brothers and the leading insurrection
chiefs, whose names are signed, to imi-
tate the French revolution. Promises
are made TO the insurgent army. to which
the document is addressed, that guillo-

that the heads of many of the rich will
fall. 1t also promises that "others will
end their days in the Mexican bastle"
Notwithstanding the failure of the
Zapatatstas to take Cuernayaca, activ-
tiles in the states of Morelos, Guerrero
and Mexico continue, and the government
is planning to. resume the extermina-

few months ago with some success.

POWERS PLANNING TO
SAVE THE CAPITAL
Unconfirmed Report Has it That Mo-
nastir Has Fallen-Turkey
Object Is to Gain More
Time

London, November 1o.-The Bulgarian
attack ON the Tchatalia lines goes on un-
relentingly. According to a correspondent
at the front, further Turkish positions
have been captured, but their location
has not been Indicated, in accordance with
the invariable Bulgarian plan never to
reveal information to the enemy,
There is another unconfrmed report
that Monastir has been captuT ;. This
end the capture of Dibra, am nportant
town in Albania, by the Ser1 ans after
heavy hghting, constitute all ae military
news of Importance since yefserday.
Some idea OF the bloody nature OF this
war may be formed from the fact that it
is now estimated that 10000 men have
been put out OF action on both sides since
the opening of hostilities The Turkish
government clearly has little hope of hold
ing the Tchatalja lines. The dispatcn
of 100 Ulemas to the front with the
avowed intention to stir up religious
fanaticism in the army is interpreted as
the counsel of despair.

prisals. A freight train was stopped near
Peubla hsa,a band last night. The con-
1uctor was stabbed TO death, the engineer
was stabbed and though not killed, was
thrust into the fire box OF the locomotive
and the door closed.
Reports are current of a new plot by
well known army officers who had a con-
ference with the Orozco adherents with
the object of organizing all factions of the
rebels. The government has been unable
to locate General Aguilsr, but asserts that
he has no following worth mentioning.

part of the state of Peubla, and that he
has several hundred men with him.
