London, Feb. 8.—News from the seat of war is meagre. Vague reports of fighting in Gallipoli and at the Tcha- talja lines have been received, but no, details enabling one to judge of the| character of the operations. i Bulgarians Move Positions. The fact that the Bulgarians appear to be moving their positions westward | along the Tchatalja lines seems to show that they realize there is a pos- | sibility of an attempt fo outflank them, but so far there is no confirmation of the rumors that the Turks are moving troops by sea to the neighborhood of Dodosto and Meda. Turks Meet Reverse. The reports indicate that the Turks | have met reverse in the Gallipoli pe- | ninsula, but no word has been received | as to whether the main forces have yet been engaged, and it assumed that the Turkish lines at Bulair and across | the neck of the peninsula are well de- fended by modern works, which ought to offer effective resistance.

Permier Guechoff declined to accede to the request. He said in explanation that there was no precedent for for- cigners leaving a besieged place under similar circumstances, and there were weighty reasons why Bulgarian head- quarters could not grant such permis- sion. Nor could a neutrzd zone be established, as no guarantee could be given that shells would not aecident- ally fall within the zone, and conse- quently great difficulties would be created for the troops engaged in the | operations. { Turks Lose 5,000 Men. London, Feb. 7.—A _Constantinople despatch to the Daily News says that | heavy fighting has been going on for two days in Gallipoli and that the Bulgarians have won all along the line.

BEACH ABSOLVES HUSBAND FROM BLAME. SLASHED HER THROAT Was Too Terrified to Scream Immedi- ately—Beach Denies His Guilt—Sev- -eral Character Witnesses Testify. Afken, S. C, Feb. 6—Frederick O. Beach of New York today took the ! stand and swore that he did not com- mit an assault upon his wife. Mrs. Beach also testified that her husband did not assault her. Tomorrow the jury of Aiken county farmers before which Beach is being tried on a charge | of assault is expected to decide wheth- | er he did. All the evidence in the case was in when court adjourned this evening. Three hours’ tomorrow have been al- lowed for arguments. Mysterious Witness Appears.

Beach and his wife at great length and called their attention constantly | to statements they are alleged to have made previously, differing in some de- tail to their testimony today. They would not admit that any part of their narrative today was Incorrect. Mrs. Beach said she was assaulted by a “gingerbread colored” approached her on p ing a message for a negro servant She declared the negro slashcd he: tHroat and hit her on the side of the head with a stic at she, was {00 frightened to scr the first at- tack, and that when she did scream her husband came promptly to her assistance as the assailant fled. Denied Alleged Conversation. At no time, Mrs. Beach said, had she entertained» any idea that the negro’s motive was robbery. Beach did mot remember any con- versation with his wife in the mayor's office, neither did Mrs. Beach. Both indignantly denied that there was any suggestion of fastening the crime on any known person. Although her voice trembled Mrs. Beach delivered her narrative calmly, deliberately, and with an amazing memory for details of all that hap- | pened -except during those few mo- | ments when she was struggling with her assailant. Mrs. Beach Defiant at Times. “The life was terrified out of me,” she said. “I could not utter a sound, then suddenly I found my voice and I velled and screamed hysterically.” Her manner was almost defiant at times. “I'm sure I don't know,” was her favorite answer at such times and she would repeat the phrase over and over, whenever the prosecutor would press for an answer. Beach Deliberate in Testifying. Beach seemed to grasp the import of some of the questions put t> him the matter had had time to revolve fully in his mind. When the prosecutor would remind him that certain points in his testimony were at variance with the stories he had told at the time of the assault he would insist that the way he told it related it differeiny. Many Character Witnesses. A large part of the afternoon s was taken up by the defense with the introduction of character witnesses. | Men of high and low degree, men who had known Beach in New York and in Aiken for years-—he has spent 17 winters here—testified as to his rep- utation for being quiet and orderly. There was every indication tonight that the trial would end tomorrow. WILL INTERFERE WITH GOVERNMENT STATION Mareoni Company to Establish a Wire. less Plant at Honolulu.
