TERMS ASKED NOT YET GIVEN OUT LONDON, Nov. 14. With the Turk jsh armies beaten in every battle dur ing tho month's war and now behind the fortifications at Tchatalja defend hiC tho capital of the empire, tbc Otto man government, has appealed to Bul garia for an armistice pending the opening of ucgotiatious for pface, ac cording to au official dispatch received from Constantinople today. What terms, if any, Turkey has pro posed havo not been disclosed. They i must, however, in tho opinion of diplo mats, be unlimited if they arc to prove acceptable to Bulgaria. With tho last defenses of Constantinople almost in her hands, Bulgaria is unlikely to con pent to any armistico except on condi tions giving her full military advan tage. Turkey will have the support of the European powers in her request for a cessation of ltostilities. The represent atives of tho various nations at Sofia havo now'rocoived full instructions re garding .tho, proposal ot mediation and they held a meeting at noon today to discuss tho method" to be adOptod for making the communication of tho Turk ish request to the Bulgarian, cabinet. Tbo armistice asked for by Turkey will affect only the fighting at the Tchatalja fortifications, while the stop tho European powers havo taken .has the object of putting an oud to thewar in all parts of tho Balkan peninsula. Fighting to. Go On. Until the powers succeed in influenc ing the allies in the direction of peace the fighting at Adrianople, Monastir, Scutari and in othor. portions ., of Tur- i .. 1 " ' fiey'fl "European domination will con tinue no matter how Bulgaria regards the appeal made by .Kiamil Pasha. While, therefore. Turkey's recognition of the- realities has smoothed tho path of diplomacy and may result !n Constanti nople, the Dardanelles and perhaps eome other parte of her European possessions being f t to her and prevent a scruinble for thorn by the power.-?, there, still arc omo serious questions to be dealt with. Among these are, notably. thoKe of the position of Albania and of the Servian ambition to have a port-on -the 'Adriatic pea. Albanians Are Active. The Albanians are taking step to mak. their country Independent and besides publishing a proclamation, have Issued a protest against any attempt to Interfere With the, freedom and Integrity of the country, Their organisation also makes the charge that the Servians have se cretly murdered all the Albanian prison ers of war. As to the Adriatic, which, according to a report from Alesslo loda;. the Servians have not yet reached, there Is no official change In tho Austro-Italinu or the Ser vian attitude. A dispatch from Alesslo confirms tho previous reports that the Montenegrin army advancing on that town has suf fered a reverse. The Montenegrins were unable to take the towp owing to" the Mlrdlto tribesmen joining forces with the Turks. The Montenegrins were drlV2a back as far as the Boyana river. CONFIRMS TALE OF SERVIAN CRUELTY BERLIN. Nov. H. The reports of atrocities committed by the Servian troops on the Albanians are confirmed by Captain Porsluu, the correspondent of the Tagoblatt, writing from Uskup. Ho says ho witnessed the burning of Albanian villages and heard from numer ous eye-wltnosses of the rockloss Bhoot Ing not only of men, but of women. The Servians, he adds, admitted thoy were carrying on a war of extermination against tho Albanians, whom Servians say must be swept from the face of tho earth. Tho Albanians In Uskup hospital begged Sisters of Mercy in charge to pormlt them to remain, becauso they were cortaln they would be shot down on th strnr.ls. An Albanian came to Captain Porslus one night and cxcltcdlv narrated that, the Servians had just entered Ihc house where he lodged and had sabered three unarmed Albanians. Evidence, is to bo collected after the war from the nariBh priests between Mltrovitr.a and Uskup to provo that the Servians acted on orders to kill nil men above. IS years and that they often mur dered women and children. HEAVY LOSSES OF TURKS IN THRACE LONDON, Nov. 15. Fighting has com menced at Monastir, according to an Uskup dispatch to the Dally Mall. Tho Servian forces marching through Al bania to the Adriatic are meeting with llttlo opposition, many places being oc cupied without firing a shot. A Daily Mall dispatch from Constanti nople declares that one of the ministers is authority for saying that 300 deaths from cholera occurred in one- Turkish camp at Iladomkcul "Wednesday. An uncensored Daily News dispatch from Constantinople by way of Con stanta says: "The government is flying In the face of providence by bringing cholera -Infected troops from the Adana district in spite-of 'the protests made by the rail way company. They have been sent to Tchatalja where, as elsewhere, tho of ficers mako not tho smallest effort to secure sanitary precautions, even in the camp.

The great value of aeroplanes In war has been proved by the. Bulgarian army, not only In rc" connaiseancc work, but for fire con trol. That the murderous accuracy of the Bulgarian artillery was due to, in a measure, the activity of the airmen la demonstrated In letters received from tho front. Any attempt by war correspondents to telegraph news of the employment of lying machines by the Bulgarians during the operations has met with ncvero cen sorship, but stories arc bcglnnlnc to filter through showing that remarkably effective work has been done by the aeroplanes, Perclval Phillips, special correspondent of the London Express, sends a plctur esquo description or tho flight of a. bi plane over tbe Bulgarian army and the beleaguered city of Adrlanoplc. Ho writes: "The first long reconnaissance tool: place on tho Tuesday following tho occu pation of Mustapha Pasha. A military biplane winged lis way confidently toward the rising sun, mnklnp a wide detour above the troops, who were full of en thusiasm regarding this new and wonder ful sight. Subsequent flights were mado under excellent conditions, thero being no wind. "From a. little cockpit, the trained ob server, with maps and glasses', surveyed the wonderful panorama of war. Botween Muslapha Pasha and Adrlanoplc the country is a corrugated sorics of hills and valloys, effectually shutting off from us here any glimpse either of the enemy or of our first line- To tho aerial scouts, however, these hills were no more than a row of insignificant ridges cut by the broad valley of the winding Marltza, with a crooked yellow ribbon, the great Con utantlnoplo road, a3 the most pronounced landmark." POINTED REPLY IS MADE TO AUSTRIA n-iR!K.KA' Ar?nlcgi-o. Nov. 11. King Nicholas of Montenegro rave a. curt and pointed reply to the Austro-Hungarian minister when he made representations with reterence to Montencgro'a action against Alesslo and tho port of San Gio vanni di Mcdua. His majesty, admitting that he lmd no authority from his allies to give a defi nite answer on the subject, continued: For my part, r at once emphatically reject even the suggestion that the Sorb Kingdoms will not be allowed lo occupy Giovanni di Medua and Alesslo, all the more so as at present neither Turkey nor autonomous Bulgaria exists. I con sequently consldor the communication of the Austro-TTungarian minister null and non-existent." King Nicholas refused to rccclvo a written note repeating tbe communica tion. .To the Italian minister, who made identical representations with those of his Auslro-ITungarian colleague. King iicnoias saio: "The Italian government would be act-In- contrary to Its usual persplcacitv and solicitude for Us most valuable national interests If it persisted in demanding that Montenegro should eliminate from its military operations the port of San Giovanni di Medua and the city of Ales sio." He added: "According to the understanding reached by tho whole of Europe, the territorial status quo has ceased to exist, and consequently Italian engagements ; toward Austria In regard to the political status quo of Albania have elapsed." CHOLERA SPREADS AMONG THE TURKS LONDON. Nov. 15. Either for mili tary reasons or on account of the cholera which Is spreading rapidly at. Hadcm koul, the government, the Constanti nople correspondent of the Dally Tele graph declares, Is prepared lo make large concessions In ordor to prevent tho Balkan armies from entering Constanti nople An uncensorod dispatch, dated Novem ber 12, from Constantinople to the Renter Telegram . company, sayi? the cholera Is extending alaruilnglv among tho troops, The cases are reckoned by the hundreds, while among the refugees there are even more victims. In Constantinople, adds the dispatch the disease Is difficult to control. One train alone brought 160 putlcnts from ban Slcfano. They wero couveved to the lu'aretlo at Bcycos on the" Bos phorus. The bodies of twenty soldiers who hod died of cholera were taken from the same train. Soldiers Exhausted. . Many trains have returned from the front with soldiers who arc not wound ed but are in a stato of physical col lapse owing lo exhaustion due to ex posure and lack of food. The sights at fiomo of the stations near Tchatalja arc unnerving. Cholera victims crawl to tho station for water or in the hope of get ting lo Constantinople. They can be aeon lying about In every stage- of thu Infection. ' The greater danger threatens Con stantinople In that the water supply from Lake Derkoa may become con taminated. Only a few cases havo bc-n i reported up to the present among the people In the capital and it would seem that the diaeaso Is not I he deadliest form of Asiatic cholera, as notwithstanding the unfavorable conditions to which the THIN FOLKS MADE FAT The W?.j Samonc Works Its Wondcr3 Guaranteed by Schranun-JohnGon Drug Company.

The authorities are doing their best to rid the capital as quickly as possible of the Influx of refugees. They are being dispatched at the rato of several thou sand dallv to tho ports of Ghemllk and Moudanla'or by rail to Konieh. Tho ac tlvo interest of the authorities ends with tbo removal of the poor exiles and ab solutely no provluions has ibccn made for food supplies. The refugees are simply rinmnd intn thi! towns on tho coast or in the interior and avc left to find for atro for themselves. Fortunately the Moslem population Is naturally charitable and will share the last crust with the wandering fugi tives. "One thought strikes an observer forci bly at seeing these people migrating back to Us ancient home," says the cor respondent. "Namely, how little' altered after fiOO years arc life wanderers re turning practically In the same manner In which they came lo Europo five cen turies ago the same rough wooden carts dragged by bullocks or buffaloes and covered with straw matting which conceals the household lumber and the female members of the family hunched Into the smallest conceivable space, peering with sad eyc3 at the unfamiliar sights, while tho sheep and goats are prevented from straying by the young sters of the family." Fighting Renewed. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 14. So far the Turkish government has received no notification of the result of the applica tion for an armistice which lias been made at Sofia. Therefore rumors that an armistice Iihb been arranged aro un founded. Until today there has been no fight ing along the Tchatalja lines since Sun day, when the Bulgarians attacked two outlying forts. The commander of tho Turkish battleship Turghut Rels reports that at .1 o'clock this afternoon he bom barded the Bulgarian forces north of Lake Derkos. The authorities here say .that the condition of the Tchatalja lines is satisfactory and that a second line of defense Is bolng established. Tho foreign military attaches have gone to the front. The Bulgarians yesterday occupied Bodosto. A large number of cholera ua tlents have been removed to the various lazarettos. There arc several cases among the wounded. Turks Forced to Retire. RIEKA. Montenegro, Nov. 14, Tho Montenegrin forces have renewed Ihclr attack on the Turkish positions around Scutari which was suspended a few duva ago because of the terrible weather. Heavy gups, havo arrived and the bom bardment began early this morning. The fire was concentrated on the Turkish batteries and did great damage. A few projectiles passed ovor tho town, throwing the inhabitants Into a panic. The Montenegrin commander-Jn-chlcf ordered the ipfantry to advance in the afternoon against the Turkish fortifi cations on the heights of Bardanjolt. In spito of a hall of Turkish shells, the MontonegrlnH advanced across the Klrl river and before evening drove the Turks from the trenches and forced them to retire on the town. Will Try the Greeks.
