Greeks and Bulgarians Face
Each Other in Battle
Array
SEVERAL CLASHES
OCCURRED TO-DAY
Bulgarians Are Reported to Be the
Aggressors- Military Circles in Sofia
Expect Outbreak of Hostilities Be
tween Bulgaria and Servia.

SALONIKI, May 2S.-The most Sc
we're tension still exists between the
Greek and Bulgarian armies facing
each other some distance north of this
city. Several clashes occurred yester-
day and today, and the Greeks accuse
the Bulgarians with being the aggres-
sors. The Bulgarian commanders are
apparently preparing to attack Ele-
ftheria with a view to getting com
plete occupation of the dominant po-
sion of Mount Panghaion. The belief
of the Greek generals is that the Bul-
garians are Systematically creating in
cidents and eudeavoring to drive the
Greeks toward the sea, and to then
seize the position vacated by them.
In the fights between the Greeks and
Bulgarians it is stated that the former
have sustaind losses as follows: Three
officers and 90 men killed and three Of
ficers and l34 men wounded.
1t was thought that the arrival OF
King Constantine would have bene
fetal effect on both sides, but this does
not appear to have been the case.

attorney, Campho could not remembe

Two English Women Headed
Party Searching for Fabled
Millions
TO COCOS ISLAND
IN THE SOUTH SEA
Months of Work With Pick and Shovel
Unrewarded and Fortune Hunters
Have Returned to San Francisco
other Expeditions Have Failed

SAN FRANCISCO, May 28.-Failure
OF another expedition sent in quest of
n legendary $lS,0OO,000 treasure cache
on Cocos Island in the South Seas was
recorded when the British steamship
Melmore put into port last night.
These tabled millions, according to
a daring sailor, were buried on Cocos
Island by officials of the Peuvian
church early in the last century. Mrs.
Barry Till and Miss Davis, English wo-
men, were told by the sailor on his
death bed of his knowledge of the To-
cation of the cache and he supplied
them with charts. The women succeed
ed in interesting British capitalists and
the Melmore was purchased for the
expeditions. Mrs. Till and Miss Davis
accompanied the party and directed
the operations of the fortune hunters.
After many weary months of labor
with pick and shovel, the searchers
gave up their quest and started home
ward. The MelmOre put in at Panama
where the two women and others of
tho party left the vessel to proceed
homeward by the most direct route.
Within the last 80 years, half a doz-
en- expeditions equipped with ample
funds have been dispatched to Coeos
Island to search for gold.
