London, April 29.-The mystery sur
rounding events in the Balkans is be-
coming deeper. No further news has
been received of Esaad Pasha's ex-
plot in Albania and the situation at
Saloniki is difficult to understand. A
dispatch from Saloniki confirms the
report that orders were given for the
Bulgars to evacuate all places oc-
cupied by the Greeks, but that later
these orders were countermanded and
that official attempts were made to
pretend they were never given.
A Bucharest dispatch to the Daily
Telegraph expresses the firm convic-
ton that Immediately after peace is
signed between the allies and Turkey
new war will commence between
Servia, Bulgaria and Greece.
A Bulgarian correspondent says
that large concentrations Of opposing
troops are in readiness for these new
campaigns and adds that he has heard
from reliable sources that consider
able fighting has already occurred and
that three important engagements
were fought during the last week, con-
corning which the greatest secrecy
has been maintained. Il
He declares fighting with ReaNy
losses on both sides between the Bull
garians and Servians to the northeast
of Monastir April 10, and fighting be-
tween the Greeks and Bulgarians for
a week in the vicinity of Nigrfta, Sc
res and Saloniki.
The Daily Telegraph calls attention
to the fact that, whereas few weeks
ago the Servians were endeavoring to
defeat and capture david Pasha's
army, these operations appear to have
ceased, and suggests that the cessa.
+ ton of the Servian attack is connect
ed with Esaad Pasha's coup. ]

NURSES HOME AT SOHO
HOSPITAL SATISFACTORY

The building committee of the Board
of Freeholders will recommend to the
board at the semi-monthly meeting
today the acceptance of the newly
constructed nurses home at the Soho
Isolation Hospital. An examination
by the committee yesterday proved
the new structure to be satisfactory.
John l.. Hudson, special building in
spector, whose term of duty ended on
April /, failed to make good his asser-
tions that defects in the building had
been passed by the 1912 building COM
mittee over his head. He had called
attention to the cracking of plaster
ing and painting and asserted this
was because heat had not been pro
vided for the building while this work
was in progress
Hurd & Sutton, consulting county
architects, explained that such cracks
were likely to show in all new build
ings. and stated that a. careful ex-
animation failed to show anything to
criticise in the structure.
