A BIG VICTORY REPORTED
LATE NEWS FROM GALLIPoLI,
HOWEVER, BELIEVED TO
BE INCORRECT.

London, Feb. S.-A sensational re-
port that the Turks suffered a crush
ing defeat at the hands of the Bull
garian troops in the Peninsula OF
Gallipoli and lost $4,000 killed and
10000 prisoners, which was publish
ed in Berlin tnis morning received no
consideration or support from any
other source today.
It is doubted here whether such a
battle could, have been fought and
such a victory won without Bulgarian
headquarters Fastening officially to
notify the world.
A telegram received from the Bull
garian capital this afternoon made
no reference to any fighting. 1t
merely mentioned the departure of
King Ferdinand for the field.
Montenegro, ike all the rest of the
belligerents in the Balkan war, is
badly in need of funds. The gov.
ernment at Cettinje is now trying
to place a small short term issue
here, but the financiers have barred
their doors and resolutely refuse to
give assistance which might prolong
the fighting.

RIOTING BEGAN YESTERDAY
WHETHER OR NOT ANYBODY
WAS KILLED is NOT KNOWN
IN CHARLESTON.

Charleston, w. Va, Feb. S.-Goy-
ernor Glasscock, Adjutant General D.
D. Elliott and other state officers
awaited with anxiety this morning
information from Mucklow concern
ing the fate Of Sheriff Bonner Hill
and 25 deputies of Kanawah county,
who, at an early hour, were reported
to be facing an angry mob of strlk-
ing miners in the little mountain vii
lage.
With Sheriff Bonner Hill and his
men were L. Guy Levy and a small
party Of mine guards and it was their
belief that they could maintain their
position for an indefinite period.
They are armed with modern rifles
and a rapid Ire gun.
Sheriff Hill asked the governor
early today for troops, but at the
executive office it was stated that
no action would be taken until the
details of last nights rioting had
been received here
At II o'clock today Sheriff Hill re
ported to the military authorities
here that he and his men had been
unable to enter the miners camp and
up to that time had been unable to
ascertain whether the firing last
night had resulted in death or in
jury to any of the campers. The
miners and their sympathizers oc-
cupy strong positions guarding all ap-
proaehes to the camp The Chesa-
peake and Ohio railroad sent a num-
Der of men to the scene to protect
its property. Governor Glasscock has
not yet acted on the sheriff's request
for troops.
The situation took on a more ser
ious turn soon after noon when Gov
ernor Glasscock instructed Adjutant
General Elliott to assemble the three
Huntington companies, two Charles
ton companies and the Fayetteville
company of the First regiment, West
Virginia National Guard, in their ar
mories. According to the order the
men are to be held under arms.
The legislature VIII assemble at 8
o'clock this afternoon, when, it Is
stated, the governor will send 10
both houses a special message say
ing the situation in the coal country
is before them and asking them to
formally declare martial law. Should
the legislature refuse to take this ac-
ton the governors friends say he
will order the companies now unier
arms into the disturbed district. In
any event the soldiers should be on
duty by midnight.
Information this afternoon from
Mucklow is that the miners have de-
serted the camp and gone into the
mountains. Similar news came from
Eskale. where large camp Of min
ers was established several months
ago. It was also stated that before
the rioting yesterday all the women
and children hal been SEN from the
Mucklow camp. The military author
tiles express the belief that the strik-
ers are gathering in the mountains
for night attack upon some point
on Paint Greek.
