New York Times 100 years ago today, November 7, 1912:
Turkish Commander Kills Himself When His Terms Are Rejected.
By Marconi Transatlantic Wireless Telegraph to The New York Times.
LONDON, Thursday, Nov. 7.— The Daily Mail correspondent in Athens says that steamship passengers from Salonika report that terms of capitulation of the city were about to be signed when Mandar Pasha, the Turkish Commander, insisted on the withdrawal of the Turkish troops with their arms. This proposal was rejected, and forty-eight hours were given by the Greeks for capitulation, which is imminent. On the rejection of his terms Mandar Pasha committed suicide.
The Greek fleet seized the Island of Tenedos in the Aegean this afternoon.
