New York Times 100 years ago today, February 7, 1913:
Bulgars Victorious All Along the Line — Defeat Admitted in Constantinople.
POWERS' REQUEST REFUSED
Bulgaria Declines to Let Foreigners Leave Adrianople or to Provide a Neutral Zone for Them.
    LONDON, Friday, Feb. 7.— A Constantinople dispatch to The Daily News says that heavy fighting has been going on for two days in Gallipoli and that the Bulgarians have won all along the line. The Turks, on their own admission, have lost 5,000 men.
    The fighting began on Tuesday. The Bulgars advanced from Kadikeui toward Kavaka, which the Turks occupied. The fight lasted until evening, when the Turks retired to Bulair. Another Bulgar force on the Marmora Coast occupied Myriophyto.
    It is reported that the Bulgars before leaving Rodosto burned all the military buildings.
    The Grand Vizier, Mahmud Shefket Pasha, at the time of his recent visit to the front, is understood to have met Gen. Savoff, but nothing came of the interview.
    The Constantinople correspondent of The Times says it is believed that the Turkish fleet on Wednesday and yesterday bombarded the Bulgarian positions on the coast near Rodosto. It is reported that the Bulgarians withdrew after burning Rodosto, where the Ottoman troops effected a landing.
