Foreign War Notes,

LONDON, Nov. 18.-The British forces in
Burmah have carried the forts in the
vicinity of Minhla and captured the city
after three hours firing from floating bat
%teries, armed launches and heavy gum on
board Of the steamers. The British lost
four men, and q wounded. Minhla was
the mostly strongly fortified position on
the river, and by its capture a way is
cleared for the British advance to Msnda-
lay, as the forts at Ava. IL miles from the
Burmese capital, are only slight structures
in comparison with these at Minhla.
The Bulgarians. after desperate fighting,
have carried one of the Servian positions,
which was menacing Slivitzna. Prince
Alexander led the Bulgarian columns
in person. An official report from
the front states that the Servians
entered Bresnik yesterday. The town
had been abandoned by the Bulgarians,
who left eight guns that they captured at
Bresmik. This leaves that route open to
Sofia. The Bulgarian army of the Widdin
District may be considered completely
destroyed and dispersed. A dispatch
relative to an engagement near Slivintza
said that after heavy fighting Prince Alex
ander was forced to retreat to Slivintza.
Both sides lost heavily. A sharp fight has
occurred on the left OF the Servian ad-
vance line, where both forces hold their
positions. The Bulgarian force at Widdin
has blocked the Danube river.
Tho Presidents Strong Foreign
Policy.
New YORK, Nov. 1S.-A Washington
special says: The President has called on
the State Department for a full statement
Of our relations with Germany and Aus
tria, in regard to the treatment of natu-
rallied citizens of the United States in these
countries. 1t is understood the President
is determined that the United States shall
no longer remain inactive upon this ques-
ton. In the event of Germany and Aus
tria ignoring our protest it is believed that
u severance of all diplomatic relations
with these countries would rapidly bring
about a crisis. 1t is not probable that the
President will mention the trouble in his
message, but he will mako powerful sug-
g~estions about the need of a new navy and
the alarming condition OF our coast de-
lenses.

visions which he intends to submit for
