2 DAYOFCRISESIN' BALKANSBROIL Anniversary of Bulgarian Inde pendence Expected to Bring Declaration of War. VIENNA, Oct. 5. -This is the day of crises in the Balkan situation. Aus- : trfan diplomats anxiously awaited news from Bulgaria that they predicted would determine peace or war between the allied kingdoms and the Moslem empire. The anniversary of Bulgarian Independence was celebrated at Sofia today and fears were openly expressed here that Czar Ferdinand and his ad visers would use the occasion to pro claim war on Turkey, appealing to the patriotic spirit of the Bulgarians. One diplomat thus summed up the sit nation today "If actual war Is not proclaimed by night we can itope for the best. Even if war is declared there will still be a chance, but a slight one. The powers may have Influence enough to prevent hostilities if they act In unison.” Austrian railway officials declare war is absolutely certain and all shipments for Servla and Turkey that come In Switzerland were held up at the Aus tro-Swlss border today. Turkish People Clamor for War CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 5 Frac tical confirmation of the reports that Bulgarian troops have crossed the Turkish frontier were secured here to day. The war ministry announced that there had been skirmishes between Bul gars and Turks on Turkish territory There was no information available, however, that the main Bulgarian army had moved into Turkey Grand Vizier Ghazi Pacha declared that the Ottoman government would do everything compatible with dignity to avert war, although he declared that Turkish outposts had also reported the invasion of Turkish territory by Greek and Servian troops, and that It would be necessary for the government to maintain Its prestige by force of arms if these reports wore true Although the grand vizier said that conservatives in the government are opposed to the Young Turks' demand for Immediate declaration of war, the spirit of the people must be reckoned with and the populace Is almost as a unit in calling for war. A remarkable feature of the public demonstrations here is the great num ber of women who take part in them. Hitherto women have remained in the background when affairs of moment were tn the balance In the Turkish cap ital, but in this Instance they are moved either by patriotism or the twentieth century spirit of e unrest. The Turkish government is declared to be in a position to carry on hostili ties on an extensive plane. The war with Italy cost but a fraction of the money it has cost Italy because the Turkish government was unable to ex pand its operations beyond Tripoli. The Turkish war chest |s said to be so well filled that a loan is not needed. But even If money were needed, ft Is expected that a large indemnity fund from Italy would be forthcoming with in a very short time.

The four companies of picked na tional guardsmen who have been in Cumming for the past three days are back In Atlanta today and the prison ers they had been guarding from possi ble mob violence are in the Fulton Tower. The militia boys we e tired, footsore and dirty, but they were happy in the knowledge that they had been com mended warmly, not only by Judge Newt Morris, of the Blue Ridge, but also by the law-abiding citizens of Cumming who wished to avoid repeti tion of the scenes several weeks ago when a negro was lynched. After being on guard constantly from the time they left Atlanta until their return, the soldiers were glad to throw down their guns and blhnket rolls and once more don civilian clothes. In Cumming they were not allowed to mingle with the residents at all. Regu lar military rules were observed, and the men proved efficient and ready so real warfare at any time. Men with drawn bayonets and loaded guns guarded the cells in which the prisoners were kept and even in the court room the guard was maintained. A cordon was established about the court house and through this no person not provided with a pass was allowed to come No trouble of any kind was raised between the troops and the citi zens. though it Is said that the large number alone overawed the mountain people and that a single company would not have been sufficient to avert trou ble. Ernest Knox, one of the negroes w ho was sentenced to hang on October 25. begged the troops to give him an op portunity to run so that he might bo shot and killed, but Oscar Daniel, the other convicted negro, showed more concern for his life Both will hang on the same day.

He was re turned to the Tower and will be tiled at a later date. The negress, Jane Daniel, will be released today, as the evidence showed that she was forced to be a witness to the assault.

S. MARINES SLAIN IN BATTLE Six Others Are Wounded in Capture of Rebel Strong hold in Nicaragua. WASHINGTON. Oct. s.—That the long expected battle between American marines and Nicaraguan rebels was fought yesterday at Barranca hill was the information received at the state department today in a cablegram from Minister Weitzel, at Managua. This stated that American marines charged up Barranca hill and dislodged the forces of General Zeledon, the rebel leader, which were intrenched at that point. The minister reported that several American marines were killed and that General Zeledon had been fatally' wounded. The battle lasted for 37 minutes and was fiercely fought. An earlier dispatch received by Min ister Castrillo, of Nicaragua, from the minister of foreign affairs at Managua, stated that four American marineshad b?en killed and six wounded in the fighting. Barranca hill is located near the tow n of Coyotepa, which was afterward occupied by the American forces. Rebels Ordered to Vacate. Previous dispatches to the- state de partment said that the American com mander in Nicaiagua. Admiral South erland. had given General Zeledon 24 hours’ notice to vacate Barranca hill and allow the passage of the American forces. The time limit of this ulti matum expired at 10 a. tn. yesterday, but nothing had been heard as to the outcome until the receipt of today's dis-patches. A later cablegram to the Nicaraguan legation here says that 100 Nicaraguan government troops were killed and 200 wounded. General Zeledon was fatally wounded and captured eight miles from Masaya, while retreating from Barranca hill, and died shot tly afterward. Rapid Fire Guns Effective. The use of rapid fire guns on both sides of the hili is supposed to have done fearful execution among the reb els at the top. According to the re ports received, the marines opened up yvlth their rapid fire guns for fifteen minutes and during that time silenced the fire of the rebels. Five hundred men were stationed on one side and 400 opposite them. The reports state that the marines soon got the range of the intrenchments and swept the hill with a terrific cross fire. Thera was no opposition of a serious nature when the charge up the hill was begun. “The Kind That Mother Makes” makes the lightest, most wholesome and delicious biscuits, cakes and pastry.

It ploughed along for several rods be fore the driver could bring it to a stop Neither Hughes nor the mechanician, Ed Pullen, were severely injured, al though they were pretty badly shaken up. They jumped from the machine, put on a new wheel, got the ear on the track and started again. In the seventeenth lap Bragg was leading by 1 minute and 39 seconds Hughes went out of the race in the f*eventeenth lap. He broke a gas tine anc? could make no repairs. Tire Trouble Puts Bragg Third. Tire trouble bothered Bragg at the end of the twenty-second lap. Tetz iaff and DePalma passed him. and when Bragg got away again after 3 minutes and 59 seconds he was trundling along in third place.
