TIvoLvs OEAD MAY REAcA sIx.
Two suceumbed and Four others Are
Missing.

The toll of death from the burned
Tivoli, of the Baltimore, Chesapeake
and Atlantic Railway Company, which
was destroyed off Thomas Point, may
reach six. Two persons, Mrs. Eva
Bowdoin, of Crisfeld, and an unidenti-
fed negress are known to be dead.
Four others are missing, and it is
thought that they, too, were lost.
The last ray of hope for the miss
ing was further dimmed when word
was received from Cape Charles, Va,
that the tug Portsmouth, of the N. Y,
P. and N. Railroad, had not rescued
any one from the waters near the
scene of the destroyed Bay boat. When
the list of passengers and crew were
gone over and it was found that four
could not be accounted for, it was be-
lieved they had been picked up by the
tug.

Probable Retirement Of French

Dispatches.

London.-The Serbian main army
having been driven back to the bor-
ders of Albania and-Montenegro, where
they are being attacked by the Austro-
Germans, the Bulgarians, with the as
sistance of General Won Gallwitz's
forces, are now giving their attention
to the Anglo-French troops. Important
military developments may, therefore,
be looked for on the Varda river.
The Bulgars appear to have aban-
doned definitely for the time being
their advance on Monastir in order to
attack the French positions on the
Cerna, where fighting has already been
reported.
Eyes Now on Russians.
So far the French have held their
positions, but dispatches from Saloniki
hint that it may be necessary to with
draw from Krivolak to the southwest,
where British-French reinforcements
are being concentrated. While the re-
suits of these movements are being
watched with some anxiety, news
comes from the northern frontier Of
Bulgaria, where big Russian army is
massing.
1t is reported that Gen. Alexei Kuro.
patkin is to command this Russian
army of invasion, which will either be
sent up the Danube or allowed passage
through Roumania to attack Varna
from the land side. Other Russian
forces are being concentrated al
Odessa and Sebastopoi and will doubt
less be sent either to the Bulgarian OF
Turkish coast.

1t is reported from Switzerland that
the Austro-Germans are sending rein

New York.-A Turkish submarine
stopped the British passenger ship
Barulos in the Mediterranean and
after 25 persons had been drowned as
sisted in rescuing many of the $50
passengers who had gone overheard in
a panic, according to Eleanor Franklin
Egan, an eyewitness, who arrived
here on the steamship New York.
The Barulos, according to Mrs.
Egan, who is a writer, returning from
a six months trip through Southern
Europe, left Piraeus for Alexandria on
October 2. Although the ship few the
British flag, her crew was Creek the
passengers, a majority third-class, be-
ing chiefly Greeks and Orlentals.
When about five hours south Of Crete
the ship picked up three boats con-
tanning the crew of the British steam
ship Sailor Prince, which had been
sunk by submarine a few hours pre-
vious.
The Barulos, Mrs. Egan said,
carried only four lifeboats, each with
a capacity for 80 people. The picking
up of the crew of the Sailor Prince
created a feeling of excitement which
was at fever heat, when suddenly a
+ submarine came to the surface about
; two miles distant and fired shot
: over the Barulos, evidently as a signal
!. for her to stop.
