TURKS RESUME
WAR ON BULGARIA
Seek to Retake Adrianople-Ch Charges
and Counter Charges of at
trocities Continue

LONDON, July 1.-THE Balkan
states appear to be again in the melt
ing pot. There is no sign of peace at
present. Greece and Servia have de-
clined so far to agree to an armistice.
The Turkish army is advancing by
forced marches from Tchatalja and Bu-
lair, apparently with the consent of
Greece and Servia, to attempt the re
capture of Adrianople and Thrace Ru-
mania is said to be proceeding to oc-
cupy much larger extent of Bulgarian
territory than she previously claimed,
and Greece is burning to avenge the
Bulgarian massacres, concerning which
horrifying details continually appear
in the official reports issued from Ath-
ems and Salonica. According to the
reports, ears and fingers of Greek wo-
men still bearing earrings and rings
were found in the pockets of Bulgarian
prisoners.
There is still talk of Russian inter
ference, and it is reported from ST.
Petersburg that the powers in concert
have notified the sublime porte that
they will not permit military opera
tions beyond the Enos- Midia line fixed
by the London conference. But the
European concert is slow in moving.
No fighting is reported and it appears
that the rumors regarding a revolution
in Sofia are without foundation.
The Bulgarian government accuses
Greece of circulating false reports of
Bulgarian atrocities with a view to
preparing the ground for future terri
torial claims, and expresses itself as
willing to submit the whole matter to
an international investigation. An ac
tive campaign of recrimination regard
ing which idebegan the hostilities and
of accusations and denials of atrocities
is going on between Bulgaria on one
side and scrvia and Greece on the other.
In Bulgarian official circles in London
it is announced that an agreement has
been made with Turkey to regard the
Enos- Midia line as a provisional from
tier, sending final delimitation by the
international commission.

FREIGHT CAR BLOCKED TRACK.
Left Rails at Bellows Falls Bridge
Trains Sent Through Keene.

Trains on the Boston & Maine rail
road were sent around through Keene
Saturday afternoon, the track between
here and Bellows Falls being tied up
on account of am accident on the
singie-track bridge a few rods south
OF the station at Bellows Falls, a
Grand Trunk freight car jumping the
rails. The car was on q south bound
freight and was but few feet on the
bridge when the forward trucks left
the rails and landed on the ties The
wheels chewed into the wood and broke
it and the car was pulled off the
trucks, but tire train was brought to
a stop when the rear wheels hit the
forward trucks which were resting at
right angles to the rails. The car lay
diagonally across the bridge and had
struck with such force that the strong
uprights of the structure were bent
and twisted and the top and right s. lie
of the ear, which was loaded with lum-
Der, were torn off for more than half
its length.
Three empty wooden coal ears in the
rear of the wrecked car also jumped
the rails, but were pulled back with
out trouble.

NEW YORK, July 14.-Destitnte
Americans are arriving in the United
States on every boat from Mexican
ports Many of them face financial
rum IN consequence of the series of
revolutions which have paralvzed com
hefelal and industrial enterprises and
they are leaving the southern republic
with reluctance. American consuls ara
empowered to draw upon the state
department at Washington for funds tn
brlng Americans out of the various
danger zones and in some instances.
notaply at Torreon, Ambassador Henry
Lane wilson has sent money to be ex-
pended by consuls and consular agents
to relleve actual hunger.
Before Mexico passed throuqb tbc
travail which began with the Madero
revolt against the Diaz regime, more
than two years ago, most of the now
INDECENT Americans were epoaoed in
prosperous ranching and mining enter
Erises or other pursuits. While the
United States government has repeat
ediy warned them to flee and depend
upon the government of the United
States to guarantee a settlement Of
their claims against Mexico the fear of
delay IN adjustment of their claims
and the hazard of the loss of destrue-
ton OF all their property has made
hundreds take the risk of remaining in
the revoiutlon-torn country. Within
the last month"; however, between 400
and 800 have been brought to the
United States at government expense.
