Bulgars Repulse Turks At Tchatalja.

New York Times 100 years ago today, February 9, 1913:
Sofia Reports a Threefold Attack by Moslems Was Defeated by Bayonet Charges.
HEAVY LOSSES BY THE ENEMY
Great Turkish Defeat In the Gallipoli Peninsula Is Rumored, but Not Credited.
    SOFIA, Feb. 8.— All attempts of the Turks to assume the offensive at the Tchatalja lines have been repulsed.
    A semi-official dispatch, giving details of yesterday's fighting, says that the Turks advanced in three columns.
    The first, consisting of six battalions, supported by the guns of Fort Gjaurtabia and the warships moored in Biyuk Chekmeje Bay, attacked the Bulgarian positions at Arnautkeui, but was driven back by a counter attack. The second column of two battalions was forced to retire beyond the Karaiu River. The third column of one regiment was routed with great slaughter by bayonet charges.
    In the Derkos district attempts of the Turks were also repulsed, and they withdrew to their original positions.
    The bombardment of Adrianople continues.
