Turks' Story Of Victory.

New York Times 100 years ago today, October 28, 1912:
Say Kirk-Kilisseh Has Been Retaken and Bulgarians Badly Beaten.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
    LONDON, Monday, Oct. 28.— With reference to reports that the Turks have taken the offensive and recaptured some positions. The Daily Chronicle's Constantinople correspondent, telegraphing yesterday, says:
    "Kirk-Kilisseh has been recaptured by the Turks. The news has just been communicated to me by a high official. He says it is absolutely authentic and will be publicly declared to-morrow. Reinforcements of Hilmi Bey, commander of the reserves, and Broussa Ismid are said to have met the Turkish forces which were retreating from the city. On meeting the new force the retreating army stopped its flight and united forces. With admirable courage they went forward and beat back the Bulgarians, who were driven off and pursued to Tarash. This fort the Turks retook and also that of Baltchiklar.
    "Meanwhile another force under Mahmoud Mouktar Pasha, former Minister of Marine, took the enemy from another direction, and a battle ensued, the losses on both side being enormous.
    "The Turks are full of glee at this great victory.
    "Additional fortifications are being built at Adrianople, and I am informed that its capture is impossible. The morale of the army there is excellent."
    The same correspondent announces that the Sultan summoned an extraordinary meeting of the Cabinet Saturday. A prolonged discussion took place on the grave situation, wherein Turkey finds herself. At the end of the conference, which lasted many hours, the Sultan in a voice which betokened strong emotion and with tears in his eyes announced that he was determined to proceed to the front to share the fortunes of his soldiers. Those who were present described the scene as most moving and pathetic.
