RUSHUL S. GRUISERS OFF TOTURKEY T0 GLARD AMERANS ‘Tennessee and Montana Now at Philadelphia, Will Start To-Morrow. WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.—Two big ar- Mored cruisers, the Tennessee and the Montana, have been given rush orders to Proceed to Turkish waters to look after the interests of American citizens. ‘The vessels wre now in reserve at the Philadelphia navy yard, the Tennessee being the flagship of Rear-Admiral Aus. tin M. Knight. They should be ready ,to sail within twenty-four hours, and under ordinary conditions should reach Constantinople about Nov. 2% if they proceed with despatch. The first disposition of the State De- partment had been to refrain from send- ing any American warstvips to the Bos- Phorus for the double reason thut their appearance might be taken as an evi- denoe of American participation in the &reat political qu # Involved in the Present Balkan war and its settlement; also that so rapid has been the prog- ress of the war that probably the ships could not reach Constantinople in time to be of any service. Since the President's return from Cincinnati, however, and after a confer- ence with the State Departinent officials, the fact was demonstrated that A can Maval vessels could be employe: places of refuge for American citizens in Turkey in case of general anarchy, the existence of conditions of disorder, beyond the contro! of the military com- manders on both sides. There is ample precedent for doing this without laying the Government open to the charge that any political purpose is to be served, or that there !s any intention to inter- ven@ between the bellige: even to ine extent of participating in an interna- tional naval demonstration before Con- stantinople. The formal explanation of the issue of these orders is as follows: “In view of rumors of possible disturb- ances in Turkey, the President has or- dered two ships to proceed to the Medi- terranean, with a view to relieving any apprehension that might be felt’ by American missionaries and educators, who are in great numbers, especially at Beirut and Smyrna, The American embassador at Constantinople is under nstructions to confer with his Euro- pean colleagues, wh wovernments are nore immediately interested, and are understood to be prepared to take what ineasures might be necessary if by any chance conditions of ¢ » affect- ng the safety of for should arise.” CHRISTIANS LED ASTURASH CHES SHEAR TOFGTON (Continued trom First Page) of the city and making @ the complete encir he Goes not con forced conquest of t The Bulgarians’ first army captured the heights of Chatalja yesterday and the third army broke through the Turkish right wing at Delyunus, ac- cording to @ special received to-day by the Reichspost from the Bulgarian army headquarters. “Constantinop| last bulwark 1s gone,” concluded the message. ‘The Relchspost’s information of the progress of the Balkan struggle has been so nearly accurate thus far that to-day’s news was accepted here as hav- CAPITAL AT MERCY OF THE BULGARIAN ARMY.

AUSTRIA AND ITALY WILL MAKE A DIVISION, Regardless of Servia's wishes, It was answered here, Austria and Italy intend to divide, Western Turkey between them.

CONSTANTSA, Roumania, Nov. 8 ‘The situation in the Sultan's capital been growing desperate since the Turks were driven back to Chatalja line of defenses, according to latest advices. The Government has done its utmost to prevent the people from learning how hopeless Is the army's position, but the news has leaked out until to-day every one knew, not details, indeed, but that! the city was in imminent peril of cap- ture, Only the fact that so large a propor- tion of the male population is at the front has prevented the native quarters ting completely beyond control .

The native Chrisi will not be ughtered without a fight, however. respondents wh~ have suggested that Christians wer likely to be cut down sheep apparently have not taken into @ecount fact that they are if anything more numerous than the Mo- hammedans in Con itinople, that they have been in arms at the front, just as the Mohammedans have, that they till have thelr weapons and that they are sure to put up @ desperate fight if at- tacked. If disorders break out in Con- stantinople, as seemed more than likely to-day, they will not take the form #0 much of @ massacre as of a desperate battle in the street, in which more than 1,000,000 men, women and children will be involved.

One report received from Sofia last night said that the Bulgarians had oc- cupled the Chatalja line but this re- mains without confirmation, It probably arose from a despatch sent by Lieut, Wagner to the Vienna Relchspost, in which he sald the Bulgarians had occus pled the town of Deliyunus outside the fort of the same name which forms one of the Chatalja defences. The same correspondent added that a fresh battle had started and was | Spreading along the Chatalya line, the fall of which might be expected at any moment. While the Turks have another and | more modern line of fortifications be- | tween Chatalja and Constantinople, there is little chance in the opinion of military experts that they will make a stand there if they are defeated at Chatalja. It 1s reported, however, that the famous Damascus regiments of the Turkish army have been reserved for this last effort to save the capital. —o——- | RUSSIA KEEPS ARMY ON WAR FOOTING. ihe SBURG, Nov. &—The Rus- sian Gov nt has decided to retain all the time-expired aoldiers of the Russian army in active service with their regiments until next spring. This places the Russian army practically on | a war footing, as the order affects sev- | eral hundred thousand men whose places | would in the ordinary course have been taken by the samme number of recruits who have just been called up. tthe Government has taken this step as the best means of preventing war and it Is thought that this can only mean that the Govern- ment foresees the possibility of com- | plications arising out of the Balkan situation. The detention of the time- 8T. PET expired men will entail @ cost of many millions. nein SULTAN AT MOSQUE, MAY BE FOR LAST TIME. BERLIN, Nov. 8.—The Sultan to-day paid his usual Friday visit to the mosque, according to a message from the Turkish capital, for the last time, |probably, that he will ever do so in Constantinople. | His Majesty was received by the roops, {t was sald, with the shouted | 1a th" which the ( ‘oman ruler a pects when he shows himself lin public, but Jt was suspected here that \the demonstration was ‘rgely perfune tory.
