the Bulair line of Notifications was
captured by the Allies on Tuesday.
According to this account the Turk
ish fleet, operating from the Dardenel-
les, was assisting to shell the Bull
garians' attack.
The Bulgarians feigned sudden re-
treat and were followed by the Turks.
The Turkish warships, not realizing
the situation continued their borbard-
ment and inflicted heavy loss on their
own men.
The Constantinople correspondent
of the Daily News describes the de-
moralization of the Turks at Bulair,
where, he says, the first fighting
proved the Vaunted Asiatic troops to
be worthless. The correspondent
adds that the Gallipoli armies are go
ing to pieces exactly like Abdnlahl
Pasha's host at Luleburgas. and that
chaos reigns at Tchatalja.
Schefket Pasha, he declares, re-
allies that Turkey is unable to con-
tinue the war.
That relations between Austria
Hungary and Russia are in danger
Gus state of tension was again indi-
Gated today by an alarmist editorial
published by. the Reichsppst, the organ
of the Austro- Hungarian heir appar-
ent, Archduke Francis Ferdinand.
When parliament reassemDles to-
morrow it Is expected a statement will
be made by Premier Asquith or Wins
ton Churchill, first lord Of the admir-
atty, promising a full official inquiry
into the causes of the South Polar
tragedy.
The newspapers here continue to-
publish long letters from experts and
critical editorials analyzing points in
the narrative of the expedition, which,.
it Is said, suggest that through some
grave blunder or worse, Captain
Scott and his companions were sacri-4
feed.
Owing to the small popular sub
scription to the memorial fund, parlia-
ment will be asked to make a grant
from the national treasury.
Incoming transatlantic liners today
reported the heaviest weather at sea
for years. The Baltic, Kaiserin Aug
uste Victorian and La Province wealth
cred gale which reached a velocity
of ninety miles an hour, smashing life
boats, sweeping life-hampers over
board, and battering the rail and bull
warks of the lighter vessels.
With the twenty-four hours truce
drawing to close, the situation
both in Mexico City and the disaffect-
ed provinces has grown worse instead
of better.
An open clash between the Nader
istas and the diplomatic representa-. !
tives of the United States and the
powers. seemed imminent at a late
hour tonight. Madefo, angered at the
movement emanating at the British
legation to put Francisco De La Barra
in his place, served notice on the for
eign representatives that the MaderoI
government expected the diplomats to-
restrict their energies TO the safe
guarding of their own nations. 1t is
limited that, driven into corner, Ma
dero is now eager to win adherents TO
his own personal cause as "the oppon-
ent of foreign interference to the
death"
Several hundred American refugees
were added to those already cared
for at the United States embassy to-
day. The foreign defense corps un-
der Capt. w. H. Burnside, United
States, military attache. was drilled
for several hours today and is under
arms ready to protect the lives of
those sheltered within the building.
President Madero appealed by tele-
gram to President Taft to withhold
Secretary Knox viii re-
ply that Madero must protect Ameri-
cans and other foreigners if interfer.
ence is to be prevented.
Running ashore in dense fog, the
German four-masted bark Mimi is to-
day on the sands, half mile south
of the entrance to the Nahalen bar,
and probably is total loss. The crew
is remaining on board in frantic eff
fort to work the vessel out of its dan
gerous position.
II is strongly intimated that the
special meeting of the senate called
this morning insisted on President
Madero's resignation. Many of the
senators did not attend, as they de-
clared they were unable to traverse
the city.
Minister Lascurin declared after
the meeting of the senate that it was
by no means certain Madero would
resign. The president, he said, was
to end the difficulty in a patriotic
manner, if possible, without further
but this appeared improb-
able.
