WAR NOTES.

LONDON, Nov. "a special dispatch
from Bogot, about eight miles south Of
Plevna, to the Times. has the following:
.'The Gar arrived here on the 9th Of
October. The Grand Duke Nicholas has
his headquarters here. Gen. Todleben
is at Tuchenitza with his staff. The
Prince of Roumania's headquarters are
at Poradin. An attack on Telische sim
ultaneously with the capture of Dubnik
on the Oath ult., was repulsed with the
loss of 1000 men. The loss at Dubnik
was 5000 men. Every brigade and
regimental commander was killed or
wounded, and, as nearly all the officers
of the guards are personally known at
headquarters, the fact that 200 officers
have been placed hors de combat has cast
deep gloom over the members of the
staff at Bogot. The bombardment of
Plevna continues in a desultory way
A special dispatch from Vienna to the
Times says: "The uneasiHess at Con-
stantinople about Osman Pasha's army
is by no means groundless. 1t is true
there are the roads in the direction of
the Widdin and Vratza which do not
appear to have been closed; but these
are of little avail for supplies, and are
very poor substitutes for the Sophia road
in case of retreat from Plevna. While
there were only detachments of Russian
cavalry ranging west of the Vid, and all
important points on the road were held
by the Turks, retreat could have been
effected with tolerable facility, but now
that Muscovite army may be said to be
in the rear of Plevna, and on the most
direct line of retreat, retiring move
ment by the other routes becomes a
rather doubtful matter"
A st. Petersburg dispatch of Nov. l
says an official return of the Russian
Government gives the number of killed
wounded, and missing on the Russian
side from the commencement of hostili
ties to the 25th of October as 1912

the 25th of October, not including the
engagement at Dubnik, were l,S42.
LONDON, Nov. ga special dispatch
from Vienna to the Times has the fol
lowing: 1.-The recent Russian successes
have renewed the war agitation in Bel
grade, but so Indifferent to Servia's at
titude are the Russians now that repor
is current that Prince Karageorgevitch
the Servian pretender, has been invites
to visit the Russian headquarters, AM
was we'll received there Whether thi
is true or not it is certain that Servia'
trimming has injured her position wit
Russia, Turkey, and the Great Power
alike, and she is likely to commit her
self to some desperate measure in tn
effort to retrieve herself"
