Serious Fighting Proceeding

Constantinople, october 1.-The council of ministers were stil engaged tonight in debating on the attitude of Turkey towards Greece. The Turkish troops or the Bulgarian and Servian frontiers re- ceived orders last night to take the of fensive and according to official nforma- ton large numbers of Pomaks. fanatical tribes of Mussumen, who in past times have massacred Christian Bulgarians wholesale, crossed the frontier at Kird Chali, about 10 miles to the west of Mus tapha Pacha, penetrating several miles into Bulgarian territory, the Bulgarians retiring.
 All reports received here indicate that serious fighting is proceeding at various points, including the district north of Cusinje.
 The decision of the government to de- clare war Is welcomed with enthusiasm by the Turkish people, as the action of a strong and confident cabinet. The Bull garian and Servian ministers probably will leave here tomorrow. The predica- ment of M. Gryparis, the Greek minister Is somewhat amusing. Finding that he has not received passports like his Bull garian and Servan colleagues, he visited the foreign minister to inquire why he had been treated differently. Noradung- hian Effendi replied that his government had not yet seen the Greek note and was therefore, ignorant as to whether il amounted to an ultimatum He promised to refer the matter to the council.
 There is rumor tonight that Turk ish warships have seized a Russian yes sel transporting Bulgarian reservists from Odessa to Varna.

Ferdinand On Way to Frontier

Sofia, Bulgaria, October liking Fer dinand Is on his way to the headquar- ters of the Bulgarian army near the Turkish frontier. The Kings manifesto to the people proclaiming war will be published tomorrow. A special service will be held in the Cathedral when the archbishop will invoke blessing on the war on which the country Is embarlips. Similar services will be held throughout the country.
 Premier Guechoff issued a statement today on the attitude of Turkey, saying:
 with pride which i'll accords with the miserable role she plays in the European concert, Turkey has just declared the identical note of the three Balkan. states does not merit an answer"
 The premier characteriZes this as comi- cal in view of Lord Swisbury's definition of Turkey at the Berlin conference, as "a power dependent upon the pain of others for it's existence" and adds: Turkey also accuses the Balkan states of lacking deference to great powers. It is ridiculous that government, which since the Crimean war has done nothing but trample under foot its pledges to the great powers upon whose projections it depends, should accuse us of failure to show respect for it's protectors

Mexico City, October 17.-A critical situation seems to have been reached today in the Madero administration. The resignation of the cabinet was de- manded last night by Deputy Moheno in the chamber of deputies, but the president of the chamber refused to permit discussion and the motion will come up again. With General Felix Diaz a nephew of the exiled ex-presi- dent in undisputed control of Vera Cruz, Mexicos most important seaport, reports have reached here also of new uprisings in various parts of the re- public including the city of Pachuca, only 55 miles from the capital. Be- side this the loyalty of the army Is questioned Doubts as to the specific object of the Felix Diaz revolt were revealed when he was proclaimed pro- visional president by Colonel Jose Diax Ordaz, his cousin, and commander Of the Twenty first infantry, stationed at Vera Cruz.
 A train load of troops from the state of Morelos reached the capital last night and will reinforce General Beltran In
 the campaign against Diaz. The day
 before the fall of Vera Cruz the legis- lature of the state of Morelos formally
 protested to the central government against the weakness or the federal forces in that state, and requested reinforce ments in view of the increased Zapatista
 bands operating there,
 The government, however. has deter
 mined to throw all its power against
 Diaz, even if it should become neces-
 sary to ignore for the present, its war
 with the Zpatistas, the factions under other revolutionary leaders, and the rov- ing bands of rebels who are operating
 in many regions independently.
 General Diaz is said 70 be gaining strength in the coast country, and it is believed he will make an effort to oc- cupy the port of Tamplco, although early advces do not indicate a formal move
 ment toward the interior.
 Washington, October 17.-Officials here became thoroughly alarmed today over the imminent danger to Americans in Vera Cruz Mexico, capturai Wednesday by rebels, and Beekman Winthrop. act ing secretary. of the navy, ordered the cruiser Des Moines, now making a tour of Mexican ports, to return to Vera

Scurry l. Terrell said the colonel could not leave the hospital safely until the ex- piration of this period and for that reason it was regarded as out of the question to consider the colonel's de- parture for oyster Bay before early next week.
 Victim of Machine Rule
 All day Mrs. Roosevelt was at the bedside and although her husband jest ingly complained he was the victim of machine rule, she Said he must see no one except members of his family. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., Miss Ethel Roosevelt and Mrs. Nicholas Long worth talked with their father from time to time, but even these family chats were limited to a few minutes on each occasion. Twice during the day, however. Mrs. Roosevelt made excep-

She had hardly departed when two babies twins, who were spending the first day of their lives, were brought in. As there was no possibility of conver- sation between Colonel Roosevelt and the twins, Mrs. Roosevelt admitted them for a moment
 With the aid of a mirror which enabled him to catch a glimpse of the outer world without turning about In bed, Colonel Roosevelt looked out at the street scenes when he was not talking with Mrs. Roosevelt reading. He was eager to be up and out of doors, and spoke longingly of his horse Sudar on which he is aceus- toned to ride each morning when he is at Sagamore Eill. He ate three hearty meals and said that he felt bully

Roosevelt Answers Bryan

Chicago, October 17.-Campaign activi- ties should not cease because of Colonel Roosevelt's attempted assassination, so far as he is concerned; he said tonight
 The foregoing state was issued by Col onel Roosevelt at Mercy hospital in an swer to what MT. Bryan said yesterday in his speech at Franklin, Ind.
 'I wish to expres my cordial agreement with the manly and proper statement of MT. Bryan at Franklin, Ind, when ir arguing for a continuance of the discus sion of the issues at stake in the con- test" he said: The issues of this cam paign should not be determined by the act of an assassin. Neither Colonel Roosevelt nor his friends could ask that the discussion should be turned away from the principles involved. If he is elected President it should be because of what he has done in the past and what he proposes to do hereafter
 T wish to point out, however, that neither 1 or my friends have asked that the discussion be turned away from the principles involved. On the contrary, we emphatically demand that the discussion be carried on, precisely as if 1 had not been shot l shall be sorry if Mir. Will son does not keep on the stump and l feel that he owes 1t to himself and the American people to continue on the stump.
 T wish to make one more comment on Mir Bryans statement. IL is. of course. perfectly true that in voting for me or against me, consideration must be paid to what have done in the past and to what l propose to do
 But 1t seems to me far more impor- tant that consideration should be paid to what the progressive party proposes to do.
 One Man Immaterial
 T cannot too strongly emphasize the fact upon which we progressves insist that the welfare of any one man in this fight wholly is immaterial compared to the great and fundamental issues in volved in the triumph of the principles for which our cause stands.

Talladega, October 17.-(Special. At tachments were issued for contempt by the city court Thursday morning against several prominent citizens of Lincoln, pr. Colvin, Tom Holingsworth and Arthur Chappell.

Johnson on Way to Bedside

Marion, Ind, October Ex-Governor Johnson tonight closed his Indiana cam paign and hurried to Chicago to confer with Colonel Roosevelt tomorrow. Inn portant developments may come out of the meeting between the two candidates. although Governor Johnson did not make public what the nature of the meeting will be. The loss of Colonel Roosevelt for the present practically has thrown the active leadership of the new party on Governor Johnson, and he is anxious to get the colonels views on certain subjects. The meeting probably will take place during the afternoon and later the governor will meet progressive managers who anxiously await the conference oi the leaders that they may know how to proceed in the last two weeks of the campaign.

 So far as my opponents are concerned, whatever could, with truth and propriety, have been said against me and my cause before l was shot, can with equal truth and equal propriety be said against me now, and 1t should be said; and the things that cannot be said now are mere ly the things that ought not to have been said before.

Fighting Ceases

Podgoritza. Montenegro October 17.- Fighting ceased this afternoon temporari- ly. The troops of the Montenegrn center column are concentrating around Tushi, preparatory to a general advance against Scutari Strong bodies of Turks have been dispatched from that city against them and great battle is imminent on ground most unfavorable to the Monte negrin army--the marshy eastern shore of Lake Scutari.
 In event of their being defeated the Montenegrins will be left with their rear unprotected, the small lake of Houms ly- ing behind them rendering communica- tion with the other columns difficult.

Colonel Roose- welt had his doubts us to whether he would like it, and pr. Terrell volunteered to test it. The head rest was fitted to the bed in the adjoining room and the doctor, after testing it, he said, until his back was lame, told the colonel he would change beds with him at any time he de- sired. The change may be made tomoI- row.
 Worn out by her long watch, Mrs. Roosevelt left her husbands bedside at o'clock to retire in her room adjoining. 1t was the first time since her arrival from New York that she had left the patient during his waking hours. Colonel Roosevelt insisted that she have a long sleep to catch up,' and treasured by the reports of the physicians she at last consented.
