Bulgaria Is Now Center of Action in
Balkans.
Paris, Oct. 14.— Advices received
here from French official sources in
dicate that the danger point in the
Balkans has shifted back to Bulgaria.
While there is no confirmation o f the
report that Bulgaria has delivered an
ultimatum to Turkey regarding the
recognition o f her independence in
side of three days, there is reason to
believe that Bulgaria is determined to
make a move if Turkey and the pow
ers persist in their refusal to accept
her independence as an accomplished
fact. •
The danger o f a declaration o f war
from Servia is considered over for the
present. The French government has
decided to leave Servia’s demand for
compensation from Austria-Hungary
to the consideration of the powers.
M. Stanchioff, the diplomatic agent
of Bulgaria in Paris, declared yester
day that the situation in Bulgaria was
grave and tense.
“ A rapid solution is necessary,” he
said. The agent said, however, he did
not believe an ultimatum had been
sent to Turkey.
The Turkish ambassador here,
Nasum Pasha, admits that Turkey is
taking defensive military measures,
but he repeats that Turkey desires
peace.

Few New Cholera Cases.
Manila, Oct. 14.—The number of
new cases of cholera has declined to
about five cases daily and these are
chiefly confined to one or two of the
congested native districts. The health
authorities are vigorously fighting
the disease and, besides guarding and
disinfecting the houses where it oc
curs, are disinfecting the entire city.
The disease is gradually disappearing
in the provinces, but few new cases
being daily reported from Rizal, La
