Instead there was an ominous .silence l isting several hours. A gendarme brought orders for Bartlett to lcavo imme? diately for Constantinople, saying that any hour the Turkish army might be in full flight, as they had suffered a disaster in the night. Instead of obeying, the corre? spondent squared the four guards and returned towards the battlefield. From | an officer he learned the following de? tails: At 1 o'clock in the morning the Bul? garians concentrated their infantry against tin- advanced lines and de? livered a night attack with a decisive effect, the whole works falling int ? their hands M ine result of 15 min? utes' lighting at the point of the bay? onet. This was the disaster to which the Kendarme referred. Having cap red the outer works t!: ? Bulgarians devoted the entire day to a tremendous bombardment of the remaining works. The early morning mist made the Are on the camps ineffective but Inter when the day cleared shooting became painfully apparent among the troops of the tlrst army. A steady dribble of men began to leave the lines making for shelter and soon wfcole battalions began to clear off in masses and the whole army corps showed signs of breaking up and re? tiring in confusion. Throughout the morning the Turk? ish artillery hardly replied to the en? emy's fire being either chary of dis? closing their positions or short ct am? munition. * As to the positions of the combat? ants when hi; left the held Monday. .Mr Bartlett says: "1 he Bulgarians occupy all the ad? vanced works, where their artillery is established and Is engaged m bom? barding the i ? ntr? of the mam llnet of defense around Hademkeui, evi? dently with the Intention of delivering an infantry attack late in the evening, or perhaps at dawn "Should this attack succeed, the fa? mous lines are won. The Turkish army has no alternative but retire? ment to Constantinople. If the army retreats it will bit Ik up altogether. There will merely !>?? a repetition of the scenes after the battle of Luleburgas with the army arriving at Stamboul instead of Tchat? alja." Bartlett was unable to slay unlil nightfall, as he was placed under Mr rest and SOeoftSd to the rear and or? dered to PfOOSSjd under guard to Con? stantinople. He planned, however, to break away in the morning and pro? OOOdod ftOrOM ?be country to wittiest Ult end Of the battle.

DIPLOMATS TO TAKE CHARGE, London. Nov. JO.?The war has shafted for a time from the field of arms to that of diplomacy. It may be that the end ll near. Plenipoten? tiaries for the belligerent powers will meet tomorrow at the village of Hademkcoi, a f?w miles outssde the capital, for a preliminary discussion of the terms of an armtlstice. In the meantime the Turkish, Bul? garian <iei Servian commanders have ordered a ceaeation of hostilities, al? though cannonading) which Naslm Pasha reports ai uninterrupted, oc? curred thli morning. The sweeping terms which the al? lies were said tO have demanded yes terd iy as ? baais for the armistice ap? pear not to have been advanced, it is almost certain that it will be on the basis of the Balkan states holding all the conquered country until a per-' manenl treaty of peace is signed. How saany vestiges of his former power they are prepared to cohce&e the Turk depends largely upon two factors?the strength and supplies of the allied army threatening the gate! of Constantinople and the extent to which the cholers hafl embarrassed their plans. it is certain the Bul? garian army Is hampered by the dis? tance of its base and the rough roads. The cholera Is counted on by the Turk.- to weaken the Bulgarian am? bition for a triumphant march into the capital and the celebration of mass in St. Sophia. But to make assurance doubly sure, the Turk has resorted to the amaslnfl plan Of transforming the mosque Into o pesl house and has crowded J.?. cholera Btrlcken pa? tient-, within Its walls.

Kingston, Nov. 20.?The western end of the island of Jamaeia has been devastated by a hurricane lasting for live days A great tidal wave has swept over both the north and south coasts, practically wiping out Savanna la Mar and Lucea, both towns of con? siderable importance. According to a report brought in by a steamer, 4 2 persons were killed at Montego Bay. All the roads have been wrecked along the southwestern coast and in? calculable damage done. Communi? cation between Kingston and the cen? tre of destruction is not likely to be resumed for a week. One hundred houses were blown down. Telegraphic communication is still suspended. The governor of Jamaica has left on a special train, accompanied by a detachment of ar? tillerymen who have taken with them 300 tents and foodstuffs, as in certain sections the people are homeless and destitute. The gale began November 14 and continued for several days. Vessels reported the wind blew more than 100 miles an hour. Lucea 's a town of 2,000 inhabitants on l : on the northwest coast of Jamaica, while Savanna la Mar Is c seaport with about the same popula? tion on the southwest coast almost directly across the island. The observer of the meteorological station in the western part of the Isl? and sent the following report today "The full force of the hurricane struck here Monday. The observa? tory was partly wrecked." Late reports fay that the entire wharf frontage at Montego bay has been wrecked. by steamer. The porte has applied to the embassies and legations for the removal of the naval contingents, on the ground that their presence Is not necessary. The ambassadors and ministers at a meeting today dis cussed the request, it is understood that they decided to leave the mat? ter in abeyance for the present. Bi 1 c \ks CHECKED BY TURKS. Having Failed in Attempt to Carry Lines They Are Reported as Draw? ing Back. London. Nov. 20.?The correspond? ent of the Daily Mail telegraphs from Constantinople, under date Of Novell - ber 20, as follows: "The balance in the ighting l.t Tchatalja lines today was distinctly In favor of the Turks. "The Bulgarians did not suffer a defeat, but received a check. Their first attempt to carry the lines not having succeeded, they have drawn back. The Turks have advanced their entrenchments. The best the Turks can hope to do seems to be to bring on a condition of stalemate, where they can <nter upon negotiations." TURKS OFT ADVANTAGE. Chronicle Correspondent Sees Turks Gain Fortunes of War at Last Moment. London. Nov. 20.--Martin H. Don ohue, telegrahplng to the chronicle from Hademkeui under date of No veil!ber 18, says: "The fortune of war proverbially variable, has now turned decidedly in favor of the Turks, who have gained the first advantage in the conflict at their last stand. "The Bulgarians were unable to hold the advanced positions they hud stormed at much cost the previous day. As they retreated, the Turks shelled them, thus reversing all pre? vious experience in the campaign. All redoubts taken by the enemy were r - occupied by the Turks. "It is probable, however, that the Bulgarians regard it merely as a re? connaissance to test the strength of t h ? Turkish works." ' The Turks were lighting a life and de? h battle, :ind Xazim Pasha realis? ed the seriousness of his position. If the Bulgarians succeed In break? ing through the left and turning the Turkish flank, the enemy Could pos? sess the main road to Ban Stefano, thus cutting ?ff the Turk': from the capital. ?"The Turkish lines of d< fense at Tchatalja was b semi-circle pres. tit? ln:; a concave surface to nji attack, if the centre was broken the two wings would be isolated. This apparently w is what was happening. As night fell an over thickening .-triam of Turkish deserters was leaving the fight line. NATIONWIDE RAID Is MADE BY THE POSTOFFICE DEPART? MENT. Misuse of the Mails is the Charge? Plans for Many Arrest? Extending Over 22 suites Were Carefully Made and Carried Out with Clock* Uke Precision. Washington, Nov. 20.?In a na? tionwide raid involving 173 persons in the principal cities of the country was made today by postolfice inspectors and United States marshals upon doc? tors and drug concerns, charged with misuse of the mails to solicit crim? inal medical practice or to dispose of medicines and instruments connected with such practice. The raid?the most active and f? reaching ever made by any de? ment of the government?was ui. the personal direction of Postmaster General Hitchcock and Chief Inspec? tor Robert S. Sharpe of the postolhce department. So carefully had its de? tails been guarded that until the first of the arrests were made at Indian? apolis early in the day, practically nothing was known of the govern? ment's contemplated action. Working with clock-like precision, the inspec? tion force spread over 2 2 States car? ried out the prearranged plans, and at an early hour tonight the postof fice department ha. received word that nearly all of the designated per? sans had been arrested. The results of the crusade are still being received tonight by the inspec? tors' divisions of the postoffice in the form of dozens of telegrams from va? rious divisional headquarters. In isolated instances it was found for various reasons to be impracticable to effect the arrests, but the suspected persons against whom warrant have been issued are under surveillance and probably will be unable to escape. Chief Inspector Sharpe and a large part of the force of S90 inspec tors had been engaged for seven months, under the orders of the postmaster general, in working up the scores of individual cases in which arrests were made today. Many of those taken Into custody were members of promi? nent wholesale and retail drug con? cerns or physicians well known in their own communities. The government will pros<? ute the cases vigorously, according to a state? ment by Postmaster General Hitch? cock tonight. "The work of the postoffice Inspec? tors today is the culmination of the crusade Instituted more than two years ago against the fraudulent and unlawful use <.f the mails," said Mr Httchock. "In that comparatively brief time we have wiped out of exist i nee concerns which have mulcted the people of this country out of more than $100,000,000 by frauds perpetrat? ed through the use of the mails, and the courts have sent many of the pro? moters of the first fraudulent schem? es to the penitentiary, where they .are serving time. The wide publicity given to the arrests made today will do more to put an end lo this sort of criminality than any other process." Approximately 90 of the persons ar? rested already have been Indicted by United states grand juries in various parts of the country; und the cases of the others will be presented to grand juries now sitting us rapldl) as may be feasible. Strict enforcement of municipal and State laws in the Bast was said by the postal authorities to account for tho comparatively few arrests in the lar^e cities in that part of the country. While it was declared that violations of the law are frequent In such cities as Boston. New Vo:k, Philadelphia and Baltimore, the accused persons, it was asserted, have been pursue i closely by the state and federal ofH ! dais. Postoffice Inspectors said the hot? bed of this class of criminality is ii the Pacific coast Stab s. In San Fran? cisco, it was claimed, n fictitious name was used by several well known physicians who employed a woman to do the neecssary advertising and clerical work. Cases were solicited by correspondence and by printed cll culars sen! through the mails Scorci of complaints have been received by t>ie department from respe table \\? - men. complaining of th< rec<?ipl of this ( lass oj matter. Approximately 20 p< r ? ? ul of those arrested today are socalled "pill dot tors" men who idvcrtlsed their practice I > correspondence or oth< r? u is, and sent to their patients com pounds in the form of pills or posi deis. Careful analysis of these com? pounds by the government authorities is said lo have disclosed that ?ome ol 'them are wholh Innocuous, arhtb says OTHER ANNOUNCEMENT! may BE DISREGARDED.
