	Macedonia turns back aid convoy but ceasefire holds
		However, a convoy of 26 trucks laden with food and medical kits was turned back by the authorities after waiting seven hours in sweltering heat at the village of Bedinje in an attempt to reach another settlement which is held by rebel forces.
		As a result, engineers seeking to restore water to the nearby town of Kumanovo were also denied access to a reservoir, which lies near the village of Lipkovo behind the rebel lines.
		But Tuesday's cautious test of confidence was thwarted by official reluctance to give in to rebel requests that journalists accompany the aid convoy to check their assurances that Kumanovo's water shortage was due to a technical fault and not to the rebels deliberately shutting off the supply.

		The rapid offensive of the Serbian army, however, took them by surprise, and they were completely overwhelmed at the battle of Kumanovo in northern Macedonia on October 23-4, 1912.
		The Turkish envoys prolonged the negotiations, as was their custom; they naturally were unwilling to concede their European provinces to the despised and hated Greek and Slavonic conquerors, but the delays implied growing hardships for their besieged and starving garrisons in Thrace, Epirus, and Albania.
		A most violent battle ensued which lasted for several days; at some points the Bulgarians, thanks to the suddenness of their offensive, were temporarily successful, but gradually the Serbs regained the upper hand and by July 1 the Bulgarians were beaten.
