Bulgarian King Saw Fight.

New York Times 100 years ago today, October 20, 1912:
Turks Blow Up the Railroad Bridge, Cutting Line to Adrianople.
    SOFIA, Oct. 19.— In taking Mustapha Pasha last night, the Bulgarians began operations at two points simultaneously. Gen. Ivanoff's army, with Harmanli as a centre, attacked the right wing of the Turkish forces and occupied the village of Kourtkala, which dominates Mustapha Pasha.
    The Turks were forced to fall back into Mustapha Pasha, and this also they were soon compelled to desert. As they retreated they blew up the railway bridge over the Maritza, cutting off communication with Adrianople.
    The advance on Mustapha Pasha was watched by King Ferdinand, several Princes, and Gen. Savoff, the Bulgarian Commander in Chief from a height of Varmaly Belitza on the frontier. After the fighting King Ferdinand congratulated the troops and decorated many of the wounded men.
    The Bavarian troops have also crossed the frontier at other points and have captured the small towns of Tsarevoselo, Gamia, and Djuma.
    Other columns of Bulgarian troops have penetrated through the passes of the Rhodope Mountains and marched across the frontier into Turkish territory.
    The noted Macedonian leader Sandausky, it is reported from Dubnitza, has assembled 3,000 peasants of the mountainous district of Perim, near the Bulgarian border, and armed them with modern rifles. They will join the allied States against the Turks.
    The Bulgarians have taken the town of Mahomia, in the Razlog district, at the point of the bayonet.
