BATTXES IN MONASTTB. Imperial Troops in Numerous Clashes With Revolutionaries. .CONSTANTINOPLE. Sept. 7.— Official dispatches from Monastir, dated August 31, and September 1. 2 and 3, give details of numerous skirmishes of the imperial troops in. that district. A body of Bul garians I intrenched In the hills between Lake Rodenik and the village of Yelendle was attacked by the troops and lost thir ty-flve men killed. The remainder of tlie band, seeking to escape pursuit, threw themselves, into the lake and were drowned. At the village of Resna twenty-two in surgents were killed and around Fiorina forty others perished. A band of 200 revolutionaries was dis persed at Boussovo, five being killed. In the district, of Vlshanl two strong bands were annihilated. The women and chil dren who were found in the forest were fed and sent back to their villages. At Smlluo a number of fleeing insur gents set fire to eleven houses. A strong wind and the explosion of hidden bombs The banana and potato are almost Iden tical in chemical composition. Hilo Ships Frogs to San Francisco. HONOLULU, Sept. 7.— The frog in dustry In Hilo has risen to the dignity of an export trade, 500 frogs beinjr shipped by a recent steamer to the coast. The batrachlans are destined for th« San Francisco market, where It is hoped they will be appreciated by Callfornian epi cures, with the result that Hawaiian frog legs will soon be an Important item on all coast menus that aspire to be up to-date. The. revolutionaries destroyed the light house near Limanpulevo. The Sofia Vedo most! states that Roumania is strength ening her military position on the Bul garian frontier. The newspaper Poshta asserts that all the villages in the district of Leren are burning. According to revolutionary es timates Turkey has now in Macedonia an army of 175,000 men, with 3700 horses and 440 guns. In an engagement at Simen, Losengrad, the villagers joined the Turks, who were defeated. The Insurgents * afterward burned the village as a punishment to the inhabitants for aiding the, Turks. SOFIA, Bulgaria, Sept. 7.— In official quarters there is a suspicious absence of news from the Interior of Macedonia and also from Adrianople, and it is feared that the conditions there are. steadily be coming worse. The Macedonian organi zations are straining every nerve to force Bulgaria into a war. The large and small bands are crossing the frontier of North ern Macedonia, where General Zontcheff and Colonel Yankoff are organizing the insurrectionary movement, which ls ex pected to break out in the valley of the Struma before the end of the week. The Macedonian committees are prosecuting ah active campaign to raise funds in Bul garia. They are addressing letters to everybody in a position to contribute to the cause. The applications usually do not refer to the revolutionary movement, but ask aid for the starving and home less fugitives from Macedonia. Where wealthy citizens decline to sub scribe the organizations do not hesitate to make strong representations. A rich merchant of Phlllppopolis was recently told that unless he contributed $5000 his house would be blown up. Several fights are reported from the dis trict of Losehgrad. At the Bashi Bazouk village of Sashira the Turks lost twenty men. At Tersidere a band fought 300 sol diers all day. with the result that the Turks lost thirty-seven men and the In surgents lost five. At Prespan, in the Okerda district, fighting has long been proceeding between insurgent bands and an army of 20,000 Turks. The latter are reported to have lost more than 200 killed or wounded. An engagement lasting all day has been fought at Pritylisti, Mon astir vilayet, in which the Turkish loss was given as forty and the Insurgent loss as five. A band led by Yanko Stoyanoff has destroyed the village of Gorinoka ' vieve, ¦ Carlpengrad, a notorious haunt of Turkish brigands. Turkey Has Nearly Two Hundred Thousand Men in Field. FIGHTING IN MACEDONIA. The orthodox Russian observes 1S5 state holidays. NEWPORT, R. I.. Sept. 7.— Bishop Thomas Marsh Clark, Bishop of Rhode Island and by virtue of his seniority pre siding Bishop of the Episcopal church in this country, as well as the oldest Bishop In the Anglican community, if* not in the world, died 'suddenly to-day at his home in Middleton, aged 91 years. In 1898 he gave up the active duties of his diocese to Rev. William McVlcar, who now be comes Bishop of Rhode Island. Bishop Clark became the presiding Bishop of the Episcopal church in this country in 1S99. NOTED EPISCOPAL BISHOP IS SUMMONED BY DEATH CzarJs Troops to Move Out of the Manchurian City on Oc tober 8. LONDON, Sept. 8.— A dispatch from Peking to the Times says that In a note sent to the Wai Wu Pu Sunday M. Les sar, the Russian Minister, gave a promise that Newchwang and Mukden province should be evacuated October 8 and con firmed the Chinese agreement to open Mukden and Tatungkao to foreign trade. RUSSIA WILL EVACUATE NEWCHWANO AND MUKDEN CONSTANTINOPLE. Sept. 7.— War be tween Turkey and Bulgaria ls now re garded here as Inevitable. It is even be lieved that the outbreak of hostilities will occur before the end of September, when the reinforcements from Asia will have been concentrated in Macedonia and in the vilayet of Adrianople. It Is not thought that there will be any formal declaration of war. In view of Bulgaria's vassal status, but that some frontier in cident will precipitate hostilities. The Bulgarians and Macedonians resid ing in Constantinople are In terre-r of massacre. A large number of them were arrested a few days ago as a "preven tive measure." and they have not yet been released. The fear of a massacre is probably exaggerated, although, in view of the present excited state of Mus sulman feeling, an Insignificant incident might lead to » massacre. The terrible accounts received regard ing the conduct of the Turkish troops have not surprised European circles here, but many who have hitherto been opti mistic in their views now accept the pre vailing belief that Turkey is on the verge of a catastrophe. A consular dispatch from Salonica says that, according to authentic Information, the Insurrection in the district of Mon astir has been practically stamped out. Bashi Bazouks assisted the regular troops In the work of repression, which ls said to have been carried out with sanguinary ruthlessness, the object of the Turks be ing apparently to exterminate not only the Bulgarian inhabitants but all Chris tians of whatever nationality. Outbreak May Occur Before the End of September. WAR THE ONLY SOLUTION". No official confirmation is obtainable of the Constantinople report that Austria and Russia will ask the signatories of the The Russian and Austrian representa tions regarding the necessary action against Bulgaria reveal the attitude of these powers toward Turkey and the whole Balkan question. They affirm that Bulgaria has been acting in bad faith in giving secret countenance to the insur gents and giving th.em hope of ultimate success, thus rendering Turkey's task of pacification more difficult and delaying yet longer the execution of the programme of reform accepted by Turkey. The language of the joint, proposal assumes that a set tlement of the Balkan trouble is attain able If Bulgaria is forced to cut off all connection between the two sides of the frontier. BERLIN, Sept. 7.— Russia and Austria have proposed that the powers take coer cive dipomatic action at Sofia, with the aim of severing the relations now existing between Bulgaria and the Macedonian in surgents. Germany has assented, but sov eral of the powers have objected and the Russian and Austrian proposal probably has fallen through. Two Powers Favor , Coercive Diplo matic Action at Sofia. RTJSSO-AUSTRIAN PROPOSAL. According to a newspaper the two hus sar regiments recently recruited from the tribes which founded the Ottoman dynas ty and which were presented with colors by the Sultan have been attached to the second division of the imperial guard. The Sultan has appointed as a sergeant in his military suite the son of the cus toms official who was attacked by offi cials in ¦ the Kirk-Kilisseh district. LONDON, Sept. ,8.— The Times, states that masses of Inflammatory proclama tions are again being distributed among the workmen at Odessa, Kief, Baku and other centers bearing the stamp of tne Socialist revolutionary party. spread the fire and many other houses were destroyed. The defeated Insurgents at Kllssura burned the villages of Zopovltch, Jopa lina and Scherchenidga. . . A band of Bulgarians burned th*e vil lage of Ilajidonlshmend, !n the vilayet of Adrianople. and then escaped across the frontier into Eastern Roumania. Revo lutionists who' were intrenched in the Sourssourol Pass, near Raslog, attacked a detachment of troops, but were re pulsed with loss. These insurgents were attired in red uniforms and obeyed bugle calls. Berlin treaty to sanction their Joint mili tary occupancy of the disturbed terri tories, but such a policy is not considered Improbable. SANDUSKY, Ohio, Sept. 8.— The steam er Louise, which left Sandusky for Leam ington, Ont., at 6:30 o'clock yesterday morning, had not arrived at that port at 12:30 o'clock this (Tuesday) morning. The distance is fifty miles and the trip across is usually made in four or. five hours. Telegrams from Leamington at 1 o'clock this morning state that nothing has been seen or heard of the vessel with her 120 passengers. One of the heaviest storm3 in years has raged on Lake Erie during the day. The Louise may have gone Into shelter at one of several points along the route. The Louise ls a large fishing tug and has been in service for twenty years. Crowded Vessel Fails to Reach an Erie Port. . LOS ANGELES, Sept. 7.— Unless Colonel Griffith J. Griffith tenders his resignation as a member of the Board of Park Com missioners by to-morrow. Mayor Snyder will officially notify the City Council that "he has removed him from office. This announcement was made this even ing by the Mayor and serves In a meas ure to show the depth of feeling which pervades the community as a result of the shooting of Mrs. Griffith in Hote* Arcadia at Santa Monica Thursday night. As yet the resignation has not been forth coming, but It may be in the mails, Col. Griffith having refused to discuss the matter although his manner showed that he keenly feels the implication which this action carries with it. The Griffith case will be called in the police court to-morrow for the purpose of arraignment and the date of the pre liminary trial will be set at such a* time as Mrs. Griffith will be able to appear if she recovers, which, despite the fact tha^t she has shown a decided improvement to' day, is by no means certain. Colonel Griffiths ball will remain as It is unless his wife dies In which event he would of course be rearrested and held without bail on a charge of murder. He is being closely watched by those who have interested themselves in his behalf. The tremendous strain to which he has been subjected ls telling on him, and to guard against possible rashness his friends do not leave him alone at any time during the day. His extreme ner vousness is increased by the fact that for days prior to the shooting he had been drinking heavily and it would not be surprising to his friends if he were compelled to take to his bed. He is be ing kept off the streets as much as pos sible and denies himself to all except intimate personal friends. Special Dispatch to The Call. The insurgents are now said to number 25,000 well-armed and efficiently com manded men. Their leaders will stop at nothing to secure resources for their .equipment. The Sofia correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says: I am in close touch with the insurgents and am enabled to affirm emphatically that unless acceptable proposals shall Ik? maoe witnln iv^x or three weeks. Europe will be startled by a record of deeds unequaled in the blood-stained history of the East. The Morning Leader's correspondent in Sofia says the Turkish policy is to draw the insurgents into action at all points. The bands, however, are avoiding con flicts until their preparations shall be completed." They are gathering in masses at various strategic points with a view to a comprehensive movement within ten days. An unconfirmed report from Vienna states that the Bulgarian exarch has been shut up in his palace because of his refusal to issue a further pastoral letter asking the Bulgarians to lay down their arms. A dispatch to the Times from Monastlr, dated September 5, says: In Turkish circles war with Bulgaria ls con sidered to be imminent. Hlltnl Pasha, In spector general of Macedonia, says !)• sees no other solution. The final reserve* are be ing- warned to hold themselves In readiness, and orders have been issued to the principal towns to supply horses and money and other wise to aid the military preparations. In the feverish attempt to stamp out the insurrection in this quarter so as to release the troops for operations elsewhere, there ls, unfortunately every reason to suspect that an attempt ls being mado to produce the Indis criminate slaughter of the Bulgarian element, in which Christians of all denominations are in danger of being treated alike. Should this prove true there can be no hope of saving the greater part of the Christian population in the remote districts of Western Macedonia. Accounts from both Turkish and Insur gent sources of the operations in Macedo nia show that the work of extermination is proceeding ; unchecked, and. although the powers are making, some' effort to in terfere, it is believed that nothing of a serious nature will . be done until after the meeting of the Czar and Emperor Francis Joseph in Vienna, when It may be too late. LONDON, Sept. 8.— Special dispatches from the Near East published this morn- Ing add little fresh news regarding the situation in the Balkans. All of the cor respondents in Constantinople emphasize the apparent danger of war with Bulga ria, while the Sofia correspondents are equally insistent as to the prudent and correct attitude of Prince Ferdinand and his Government. - .

LAKE STEAMSHIP HAS DISAPPEARED LONDON, Sept. 7.— As an outcome of the disclosures made in the report of .the South African War Commission It ls ru mored that the resignation of Lord Lans downe, the former War Secretary and present Foreign Secretary, may be ex pected shortly. It is added that he will be succeeded as Foreign Secretary by Brodrick, the present War Secretary, and that Wyndham. the Irish Secretary, will be made head of the War Office. A meeting of the Cabinet will be held shortly for" the purpose of discussing the fiscal questions now before the country, but it is generally believed that the atti tude of the people with respect _to the findings of the War Commission, as shown. by the proposal to send a monster petition to King Edward for Lord I-ans downe's dismissal and by the publication of cartoons illustrating his lncompetency, will be considered and that something will be determined upon as necessary to stem the tide of indignation now flowing against the Ministry. .
