BULGARS REPULSED
IN GREAT BATTLE
Constantinople. Turkey will not
accept peace on the terms laid down
by the Balkan allies, according to an
official announcement and a great bat
tle between the Bulgarians and Turks
is on all along the line of the Tchatal
ja fortifications.
Unofficial reports say the Turks
have gained a great success. The
Turks succeeded after some hours of
fighting in defeating the right Bulgar
ian wing and in repulsing the left
wing. They captured 12 guns and
8000 prisoners. The Turkish warships
contributed largely to this success.
The opening of the battle was a
wonderful spectacle. The black face
of the Bulgarian position sparkled
with flashes. Some of the Turkish
heavy guns fired black powder. The
bursting of heavy shells soon raised
a curtain of smoke which, mingling
with the morning mist, rolled majest
ically down the valley between the
combatants.
Constantinople, at the gates of
rblch the Bulgarians are knocking, Is
a city of sick, wounded and hungry
refugees. With the thousands of
wounded, in addition to cholera pa

OUR RIGHT TO

American and British Statesman Who

Magaiin. Article,
In u article In the Scientific Amer
ican Secretary of War Stlnisou take
strong ground not only on the nbsolutu
right of the I'nlted States to fortify
tho Panama ciin.il. hut on tho need for
such defense a a mutter of gtvnt na
tional exiieillenoy.
Secretary Stimson denies that the
fortification of the canul would be a
vMnll'm of this country's obligation to
Great Britain uuder the lluy-rauuce-fote
treaty, lie thus summarises the
let:" I situation:
"lu the Clayton llul wer treaty of
1S.TO the I'nlted States and Ureal Hrlt
tain expressly agreed not to fortify or
assume any dominion over any utrt of
Central America, where the canal
might lie made. The first draft of the
llay Pauncefote treaty of Feb. 5, IllOO,
contained a similar prohibition to the .
effect that 'no fortlllcutloii nIH lie
erected ttiiuiiianilliiK the canal or the
waters ailjaceut.' This ini"ed treaty
In this form was rejected by the senate
for the very reaanti that It did not give
the l ulled State suuVlcnt lllierty of
action In regard to the canal. The
present Hay Tnunecfote treaty was
Iheu negotiated, whkh In Its first ar
ticle entirely abrogated the old Clayton-
Hulwer treaty and also omitted the
rsMtrlrllons against fortification which
hail teen contained In the Unit pro
posed Hny-Panncefote treaty.
"The memorandum which Mr. Hay
aent to the senate with the second
Hay l'auneefote treaty, containing the
mrrctHndcnr between himself and
Lords Puuncefnto and Ijinsilowne.
shows that these rhnuges were made
for the express puriHiee of permitting
tho I'nlted States to fortify and do
feud the rnnnl and that Lord Ijiiim.
downe fully understood and recognis
ed this right ou our part
Lsnsdowne's Statement
As to this Lord Lunmlowne express
ly said:
"It Is mtut Important that no douht
should nut as to the Intention of lh.
contracttna- parties. Aa to this. I under
stand that by lh. omlsalon of all infer
ence to thu maltrr of di'f-niw tho t'nllrd

power of taking mea.ur.a to pnitM-t the
cannl at any time whrn lh I'ntted State

age at the hands of an enemy or ene
mies.
"The congress of the fulted Sutra
then proceeded ths following year In
the Spooner not (section B) to authotizo
the president to enter Into the con
tracts for tho construction of the ca
uul nnd Its 'defenses.' And In the fol
lowing year, two, Mr. Hay. the sumo
statesman who had negotlntiil the
IIny-1'iiuiicefiite treaty, negotiated a
treaty with the republic of Panama by
which Panama granted to the United
States for the purpose of the ennui tho
use. occupation nnd control of the pres
ent i'muiiiui en mi I zone n ml nlw grant-
ed to the T'nlted States fur the protoe- '
tion of such canal the right to use Its !
Innd and naval forces and to establish
fortifications. (Hunuu Varllla treuty,
article 23.)
"Tho Hay-Paiiiicefiite trenty nnd the
Bminu Varllla treaties are the only ex
isting treaties entered Into by the Unit
ed States which nffect Its rights over
the Piinnma canal. It is perfectly
clear, therefore, from the foregoing
facta that none of the statesmen, ei
ther of .Great Britain or 1 'ami inn or
the United States, who were concern
ed at the' tlmo In the negotiation of
these trcuties or the enactment of leg
islation to make them effective had
any doubt as to the right or purpose, ot
the .United States to defend uud forti
fy the canal."
Necessity For Fortification.
As to the necessity for the fortifica
tion of the ennui for the protection of
tho United States In time of war Sec
retary Stimson Is fully convinced. He
says:
"It has been earnestly argued that
the safety of the cnmil can bo better
and more cheaply nssured by an ngreo
meiit between the lending nations,
making It a neutral waterway and for
bidding it from ever living blockaded
or seized. In time of war. It U argued
that such a course will relieve us from
the expense and burden of defending
tho canal and that It will ut the samo
time accomplish every result which we
could accomplish by defending It our
lulves. "This Is an entire misconception. It
loses sight of the vital difference be
tween an American cimnl nnd an lnteN
national cannl. It loses sight of the
fact that It is of vital Importance to !
this country not only that the canal I
shall be open to our fleet In case of
war, but that It shall be closed to the
fleet of our enemy. An International
cnnul, kept open and defended by !
agreement between the powers, from
Its very nature would have to be open
to our oppenent as well as to our
selves." Secretary Stimson finally gives an
outline of the character of fortifica
tions he deems necessary for the prop
er defense of the canal.
