Has Summoned All Classes
of Reserves - Gives Tur
key Three Days to Rec
ognize Bulgaria
SOFIA, Bulgaria, Oct. 13. The Bui
garian government at the direction of
Czar Ferdinand, today summoned all
classes of reserves, which means that
tho whole army of the country will
tuko the field in support, of the threat
to declare war unless Turkey recog
nizes officially the independence of Bul
garia within three days. Active prepara
tions for actual warfare are being rush
ed today in all part of the country.
Although Bulgaria has not as yet
taken any official recognition of the
fact that the Turkish forts in the straits
ot Bosphorus fired upon the new flag
of Bulgaria, still tho insult was taken
by Ferdinand na. a declaration o war,
but he has awaited tho time when he
could mobilize his forces so ns to prop
erly carry on the war nnd not. be hand
icapped by any lack of preparation.
Tho populace of Bulgaria are loud in
their threats against. Turkey and are
continually urging their newly made
czar to give the word which will let
taem nt the throat of the sick man of
the east. There seems but little doubt
but t hat. war will result and as long
as Bulgaria can obtain money nnd sup
plies the war will be carried on.
It is now seen that Ferdinand wait
ed until the affairs in the Turkish em
pire were in studi n state ns to make
liis declination of tho independence of
Bulgaria come at a time when it would
be difficult for th? Turks to wage suc
cessful warfare.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 13. The
Turkish government has as yet given
no indication as to what its reply will
be to tho demands of Bulgaria to rec
ognize the latter 'h independence. It
is reported from official centers that
Turkey will wage war and not nllow
the newly created province to gain its
independence without a at niggle. The
recent action of tho Turkish govern
ment in granting tho dnimuidr. of the
Young Turk party has strengthened the
crown, and if war be declared Turkey
will not, be torn by internal strife.
DOUBLE ROMANCE IS

today to the effect that Maxine Elliott,
former lending worn mi and wife of Nat

mining man, who wns until recently
engaged to marry Edna floodwla, the
lending woman of the (ioodwin com
pany. The story says that Ooodwin
has gone to Europe to Marry Edna
(ioodrieh. ( lose friends nf the actor
claim that the remarkable allaged
double romance is true, nnd point to
the fact that (ioodwin left Nevada Innt
week immediately after -obtaining a di
vorce from Maxine Elliott. Ooodwin
hurried f rom Nevada, immediately the
divorce was secured. A rich ntrilce of
ore on his mine near Coldfleld would not
detain him. M acM illan 's friends pay
