BATTLE A SEVERE
ONE.
Nearly 400000 Men Engaged In
Terrible
Struggle for Days.
(Associated Press Report.)
LONDON' November 2. Graphic de-
scriptions of the seven days' sanguinary
struggle between Turkish and Bulgarian
armies in the southeastern corner of the
Balkan peninsula now are reaching Ixm-
don. It would appear that nearly 4O0.W00
men have been engaxed in the terrific
conflict which according to some ac-
counts still wages.
The fighting on the left wing of the
Turkish army according to one corre-
spondent was terribly severe. In their at-
tack on I.u.eburgas the Bulgarian troops
found Torgut Hhefket I'asha with his
troops In position on the slopes behind
the town.
The Bulgarians brought up six batteries
and shelled the position on Monduy even-
ing. Then they carried out an infantry
attack which was unsuccessful. On
Tuesday the Bulgarian artillery settled
down to a methodical preparatory bom-
bardment to which the Turkish artillery
replied vigorously. In the artillery duel
no superioiity was shown on cither side.
On Tuesday afternoon It became clear
to the Turkish commander that the Bul-
garians were pushing up masses of rein-
forcements into the firing line to give
weight to their attack.
This meant that the position at Lule-
burgas was becoming untenable. The
Turkish advance line fell back in admir-
able order to Torgut.
The town Itself remained unoccupied
by either side during Tuesday night and
throughout Wednesday when it was set
on fire by the explosion of Bulgarian
shells.
Close battle was Joined between the
opposing forces at dawn Wednesday and
raged with equal fierceness along the
twenty-mile front.
The Bulgers began by a determined ef-
fort to take the railway bridge but the
Turkish troops entrenched near th hea.i
of the bridge drove them back with a
weeping fire.
Toward noon the Bulgarian artlllerv
concentrated Its fire on the center of the
Turkisn position as a prelude to an as-
sault. The shrapnel fire was perfectly
timed and the Turkish infantry suffered
heavily. Nevertheless here as elsewhere
on the field the losses were only what
was to be expected from the severity of
the battle.
Long column of wounded were passed
to the rear after receiving first aid on
the field.
No description of the latter stages of
the battle has yet come through but re-
ports from Sofia assert that the Bulga-
rians carried everything before them.
Further dispatches from Sofia say that
the Turkish troops offered obstinate re-
sistance to the Bulgarian attack.
The conflicts continued until late Wed-
nesday night with wavering success.
Eventually however the Turks gave way
along the line the Bulgarians capturing
the railway station at Muradll and thus
commanding the railroad line to Salonlkt I

Qualntince down Injuring her severely.
Physicians pronounced the Injury rupture
and treated the case as such. Peritonitis
developed and she died In June 1904.

would have resulted from the Injury In

was a surprise. The girl continued to
make her home with Colonel Qualntince

Walter Collins Issued Appeal to
Texas Democrats.
(Houston Post Special.)
H1LLSBORO Texas November 1.
Chairman Walter Collins of the State
democratic executive committee today Is-
sued the following address:
"To the Democrats of Texas.
"The election of Wilson and Marshall
by a large majority In the electoral col-
lege appears to be assured and If a full
democratic vote is polled In the Southern
States the ticket will also have a large
majority of the popular vote thereby giv-
ing additional moral Influence to the suc-
cess of the National campaign. I there-
fore sincerely hope that Texas democrats
will contribute their part toward winning
such a victory and will show a greater
Interest In going to the polls and cast-
ing their votes than Is shown In any other
Southern State. I also Join the demo-
cratic National campaign committee In
urging all State committeemen and coun-
ty and precinct chairmen to take special
interest In getting a full vote polled with-
in their respective Jurisdictions.
"In addition to the nominees for the
various offices National State and coun-
ty the ticket In this State contains vtrv
important proposed amendments to the
proposed constitution to be voted on all
of which are worthy of the serious con-
sideration of voters and every voter
should register his will on each of these
measures. The press of Texas has ren-
dered great Bervlce' In behalf of the dem-
ocratic party during the campaign em-
phasizing the great force for the many
important Issues and I feel that I will not
be regarded as trespassing too far upon
its liberality and patriotic zeal In asking
space for this final appeal to the Texas
democracy to rally to the polls next Tues-
day and ad In giving our nominees for
president and vice president the largest
popular vote ever cast for the candidates
of any party for these offices.
"Walter Collins
