state than the eastern, yet does not
fail of being beautiful and picturesque,
guarded, as it is, by grim rocks which
rise like fortresses from the water
at the neck of the harbor. An almost
innumerable number of houses are
springing up at this point which is
called Balboa, and which is to be q

THE BALKAN WAR.
ON EVE OF CONFERENCE CON-
FLICT CONTINUES.
Greeks Refuse Bulgaria's Request for
Even Three Days Truce. News
From Front.

London, July 27.-The Balkan
peace conference is expected to open
at Bucharest Wednesday, but mean
time serious fighting continues. The
Greeks refused Bulgaria's request for
even three days truce and after
heavy fighting have gotten through
Krefina pass, defeating the Bulgarians
at Simekle, capturing three seige
guns and driving the Bulgarians back
on Djuma. The Greeks claim they
annihilated the whole left OF the Bull
garian army and that they have fore
ed the Bulgarians back all along the
Struma valley to Djuma on the Bull
garian frontier. Unless peace is speed
lily is negotiated, another Greek bat
tie is likely to occur at Struma.
There is now report of fighting on
the Servian frontier.
The concert of the powers seems as
powerless as before to adopt any
united action against Turkey. The
porte, however, has disavowed the ac-
ton of his troops into old Bulgaria
and no further advance of the Tur-
kish army has been reported.
The Turks claim that the fort at
Adrianople consists of $50 guns, 5O,-
600 rifles and a supply of corn.
Isset Pasha, the Turkish command
er-in-chief, reports that Bulgarians
murdered 200 Ottoman soldiers who
had been taken prisoners while re-
pocts of Turkish massacres of Armen-
ians near Machda, come from Con-
stantinople.

Transmission). Trustworthy reports
Of appalling massacres and devasta-
tion by Turkish irregular troops come
from districts in Thrace which the
Turks are reoccupying. The country
about Malgara, northeast Of Gallipoli.
according to reports, has been con-
verted into a human slaughter house.
Bulgarians pillaged and burned most
Of the villages and massacred their
inhabitants and now the Turks are
wreaking dreadful vengeance on the
Christian villages which the Bulga-
rians spared.
The Turkish troops at first ad-
vanced committed only a few muir
ders. The irregular Turkish troops
and Kurdish regulars who follow
have worked their will on the Chris
tians of Malagara and Is villages in
the neighborhood
The Turkish government, realizing
the need of the good opinion of Eu-
rope at present, has issued strict or
ders to officers to avoid reprisals by
the troops, but officers have been un-
able to restrain the men.

OF Railroad Men.

Washington, July 22.-Railway rep

to prevent Postmaster General Burle-
son from increasing the size of parcel
post packages transmissible through
the mails and reducing the rates to
become effective August 10. A dele
CATION representing the railroads gem
orally throughout the country laid
their complaint before senators and
representatives and prepared to pro-
test formally against the changes to
the interstate commerce commission.
The movement in the senate itself
to forestall the changes by repeating
the section of the parcel post law un-
der which the postmaster general
claims the right to regulate rates and
sizes further crystalized when Sena.
tor Bryan of Florida introduced a
Joint resolution to repeal the legisla-
tion in question.
Another development Of the day was
the postponement from tomorrow un-
til Friday of the explanation demand
ed by the senate postofilce committee
OF Postmaster General Burleson of his
authority to inaugurate the changes.
Railway representatives said that
at present the roads received so per-
cent OF the pay collected by express
companies for the carriage of pack
ages and claimed they would lose from
$15.00O,O00 to s2O,00O,O0O year
through the reduced rates and in
creased maximum limit on the size of
packages.
The joint resolution introduced by
Senator Bryan was in the exact words
of the bill introduced by him April Is,
the object being to facilitate the pas
sage OF the repeating enactment
through the house, where a resolution
is under lighter parliamentary handi-
caps than q bill.
