Officials Do Not Fear For

Safety of Two Office Build

ings or the Congressional

Library.

Armed guards are patroling

the Navy Yard tunnel to protect

it against depredation by bomb

plotters. This became known to

day following the announcement

yesterday that special guards-had

been detailed to jwatch thejitunnei

leading into urrrorrotaiion.

The necessity for guarding the

Navy Yard tunnel was realized by

railroad officials when rumors of

designs on the passenger traffic

tunnel running under the Capitol

were heard. The Navy Yard tun

nel is regarded as of equal im

portance because of the fact that

all freight coming into Washing

ton from the South, or going to

the South from Washington has

to pass through it.

It also became known today

that extra precautions have been

taken to guard the Long Bridge

spanning the Potomac, and which

is the connecting link between the

North and South. Damage to this

bridge would seriously interrupt

passenger and freight traffic to

and from the South.

PRECAUTIONS NATION-WIDE.

Every ton of rail freight carried

from the cotton belt nnd steel and Iron

sections of the eastern part of the South

la transported over l.ons Hrldgo and

around thn city through the old Navy

Yard tunnel nnd the old tracks former

ly used by the Pennsylvania railroad.

Hallway officials said today that dis

covery wan recently made that the two

tunnels and bridge here had not been

guarded us closely as they should have

been. Orders were Issued recently for

the establishment of extra guards In

the I'nlon Station tutncl. Navy Yard

tunnel, and Lontr Ilrlain ns a part of

a notion-wide scheme of piecautlonnry

measures the railroads deemed neces

sary to -idopt and at great cost.

EF.ery terminal, every bride, every

tunnel of consequence, and everv vital

section of the railway lines In all sec

tions of the country, thev claim. Is be

ing subjected to the same surveillance

which will bo continued until further

orders.

Denies Warnings.

Superintendent Kcnpel. of the Wash

ington Terminal Company, was not In

the city today, but Chief Clerk Tolson.

of the superintendent's offlre stated

that no letters or warnings have been

received by the Terminal officials re

garding projected outrages on an" of

their property. Mr. Tolson reiterated

the statement that tho precautions

taken hero am simply part of a big gen

eral scheme to give an extra measure

of safety to rallvvav traffic.

Tho condition of the two great public

buildings under the care of tho super

intendent of the Capitol, the Senate

Fresh Attempt on Southern City

Expected Ten Thousand

Killed in Engagement.

LONDON'. Nov. 53 -Ten thousand

Tlulfnr have been killed and wounded

In fighting for Monastlr.

The Rulgar forces attacked the town

on Saturday. Salnnlkl advices say. It

was learned here today for the first

time that the assault was repulsed. Re

peated earlier reports were to the effect

that the town had fallen.

The Serbs, driven southward from

Babuna pas and Prllep, rallied before

Mohaatlr and fought desperately. The

struggle was at -close quarters. The

Seihs were heavily outnumbered, but

their reckless courage,, turned the tide

of baffle li their favor.

' Awmlt Biff Battle.

On Srnday the' Rufgars were In re

thev ms.de a stand. This position they

still, held at latest accounts.

That Monastlr will now hold nut Is

believed In London today British troops

are pourlnr In from Salonlkl to help

th Serbs, big guns arc being mounted

antT the town's defenses are being

strengthened heavily.

A fresh Ilulgar attempt at an advance

Is looked for hourly. The Bulgarian

have been rc-enforccd from the north

but theiMonastlr defenders are now in a

strong postlon. A big battle is expected

A Uulgar repulse with the loss of WO

captured Is reported at Vodoto. Just

north of Vrama. All pmvlous advices

have Indicated no large Herb bod re

mained in that district The French

have been operating in Its direction tut

to have reached It they must clthor

have taken Veles, which has not been

claimed, or passed It by a detour to tho

east.

Counter At Veles.

Tho Serb counter-attack which forced

the liulcars back to tho northward fol

lowed the desperate Hciblan rally In de

fense of Monastlr. The Scros fallowed

their advantage with furious Impetu

osity, driving the invaders before thero

for more than twenty miles.

The restored line places the Serb right

wing In touch with the French before

Veles and clears a thirty to forty mile

widt. strip of southern Serbia of the

enemy.

Kven though the arrival of Ilulgar re

enforcenients should compel another

Serb retirement, the all es are confident

now that an ordorly retreat Is assured

together with the maintenance of com

munications between the Serbs, French

and British and the elimination of dan

ger that the Serbs will bo expelled to

th sniithwcstward In'o Albania.

The news that the Serbians have won

an Important victory over the Bulga
