Say They Sank 3 Transports.

New York Times 100 years ago today, March 7, 1913:
Turks Assert Cruiser Destroyed Greek Ships Carrying Servians.
    VIENNA, March 6.— A dispatch from Constantinople to the Neue Freie Presse says the Turkish cruiser Hamidieh today sank three Greek transports loaded with Servian troops on the way to Scutari.
    The attack on the transports took place, it is said, near the Peninsula of Hagion Oros in the Aegean Sea. This would make it appear that the transports were proceeding, not to Scutari, but to Gallipoli, where it was planned some time ago by the Balkan Allies, to make a flank attack on the Turkish troops defending the Dardanelles.
    The convoy of Greek transports was, it is stated, a large one, consisting of twenty-four vessels, which carried thirty-four guns. They were encountered by the Hamidieh shortly after they had left the coast. With her battery of powerful 4.7-inch guns she was able to create havoc among the practically unprotected transports loaded with soldiers, according to the report received here.
