Thirty-Five Thousand Said
to Have Been Killed
And Wounded.
ONE WEEKS CARNAGE
Many Contradictory Reports Reach
LondOn-Both Sides Claim Victory
in Bloody Struggle.

Vienna July THE Bulgarian
and Servian troops are fairly ami
hilating each other in the conflict
now raging
The battles are marked by more
bitter and costly fighting than pre-
vailed during the war between the
Balkan allies and The Turks. Fol-
lowing the receipt of advices from
Lieut.. Wagner, correspondent at
Sofia that 1000 Servians were kill
al when the TinTok division was de-
feated Saturday, officials were. pre-
pared to credit early reports of start
ling casualties as authentic.
Ain isAmi- official ladVices declare
that last weeks battles were the
longel:t and hardest fought of all the
battles during the Balkan war. These
reports starred that the Bulgarians
lost 10000 in killed and wounded and
the Servians $1,000. The Servians
were victorious at Kochanra;' accord
ing to latest reports and entered the
city.
In the fighting around the city
three Serviaa regiments were ami
hilated according to dispatch re-
ceived today from Lieut.. Wagner.
London, July Reports of the
Balkan conflict reaching mere con-
t;nued to be hopelessly contradictory
Us 10 whether Servia was successful
over the Bulgarians or the forces of
King Peter were being driven back.
L: was the general belief however
that the Bulsarians were gradually
forcing both the Servians and Greeks
back but rot without the most bit
Ter fighting
1t is estimated that the fighting
covers. an area of 5000 square miles.
More than 100000 non-combatants
are homeless. They have fled from
their homes and are in danger of
starving. Scores OF villages have
been burned.
Diplomatic relations have now been
broken by all Baukan states The
Bulgarian minister left Belgrade to-
day, completing the rupture. The
Servian minister has left Sofia.
Advices from Belgrade are that the
Servians had reoccupied Kvolak. The
Bulgarians, were routed with heavy
losses it was stated. 1t is generally
believed here that the plan of The
Bulgarians is merely to Aep the
Greeks fairly well in hand while
they dispose of the Servans.
There has been desperate fighting
against the Greeks however, as was
indicated when reports here stated
that 5000 woundei had arrived in Sa-
lonika. Thousands of refugees have
also arrived here.

OFT-REPEATED COMPLAINT.
Absence of Names on Alexandria
Streets Annoyance TO Strangers.

The fact that there is nothing on
any thoroughfare in Alexandria to
;nGicate it's name is often the subject
of comment, especially from stran-
gers, has often been alluded to during
tie past third Of century. Counci!
has on several occasions considcrea
this important matter, but resolutions
having for their object the placardine
of streets have died in committee
rooms. A stranger was in .Ale>:an-
dr:a on Saturday anxiously looking
for Duke street and asking the ala
of passersby.
In these days. when tae spirit Of
public improvements is raging, 1t
seems that this important matter
should receive attention.
Alexandria, at present, is like unto
Damascus. It's main thoroughfare Is
he street which is called straight,
and that is about the only one stran'
gers know anything about The others
are unknown except to those natives
and to The manner born.
