Bulgars Said To Have Kilios.

New York Times 100 years ago today, November 16, 1912:
Report of Capture of Town Near Constantinople Not Confirmed.
    LONDON, Saturday Nov. 16.— Indefinite reports of important events in the field of war have reached London during the last twenty-four hours, but the censorship is so severe that little actual news is available.
    One story came from Constantinople that the Bulgarians, either by sea or land, had reached the vicinity of Kilios, on the Black Sea coast, only about twelve miles from Constantinople. There is no confirmation of this report.
    If a strong Bulgarian force has reached Kilios, the fate of the Ottoman Army is sealed, for it means that the Bulgars have managed to creep around behind the Forest of Belgrade on the outskirts of Constantinople, and are now close to Therapia, the Summer resort of the residents of Constantinople.
    A Sofia newspaper reiterated the report that the Bulgarians had captured six forts near Tchatalja, two being regarded as important. Still other dispatches asserted that the Bulgarians had captured Hademkeui, the headquarters of the Turkish Commander in Chief, and that Nazim Pasha, the Turkish Generalissimo, had capitulated. For all these reports there was no confirmation.
    A Constantinople dispatch to the Cologne Gazette declares that Bulgaria has abandoned her intentions to enter the Turkish capital, being thus advised by Russia and Great Britain.
    Reports from Bucharest that an armistice has been arranged have not been confirmed, but all the indications point in that direction, and it may be supposed that the famine and destitution prevailing among the refugees in the neighborhood of Constantinople, which are calculated to provide a hotbed for the spread of cholera, may have had something to do with Bulgaria's decision.
    A report received at Berlin asserts that disorders are occurring at Salonika, Bulgarian and Greek soldiers are said to be plundering and maltreating the Mohammedan inhabitants, who are besieging the foreign Consulates for protection.
    The Turkish Government has issued a batch of dispatches signed by war correspondents of the Paris Temps and Journal des Desbats, the Berlin Lokal Anzeiger and Tageblatt, The London Daily Mail, and other European papers, all denying reports of atrocities alleged to have been committed by the Turkish troops.
