sERvIA AND BULGARIA.
Continuance Of Active AOstIliGies In
the Balkans.

After desperate fighting yesterday the
Servian troops occupied the positions al
Raptcha. The losses on both sides were
heavy. This victory enabled the Servians
to turn the very difficult and rocky gorge OF
the Dragoman pass, and the Bulgarians,
after gallant resistance, retreated to Sliv-
IDA, where an important engagement is ex-
pected to take place, which will probably
decide the fate of Sophia.
Colonel Djuknitch, commanding the To-
week division, drove the Bulgarians from
their intrenchments at Kiela and captured
$50 prisoners. The total Servian loss was
two officers and fifty men killed, and 200
wounded. The official report from Colonel
Benecky says: CATER brilliant charge the
Servians carried four Bulgarian redoubts
beyond Toaribrod. Colonel Djuknitch, with
the Towek division, has taken Kiela. The
Servian troops continue advancing every

killed"

American Foreign Commerce.

Chief SwitzIer of the Bureau of Statistics
has completed his annual report on foreign
commerce. It shows a falling off in foreign
trade during the last fiscal year of $93, 251,-
92I. Comparing the foreign commerce
with that of other nations, Great Britain
stands first, Germany second, France third
and the United States fourth. The most
notable features during the last fiscal year,
as compared with the trade of 1884, were a
DE- crease in imports of merchandise of So
600, 900, and falling off in exports of gold
of $32, 200, 900. The decrease occurred
mainly in imports of sugar and molasses,
silks, woods and manufactures of silk and
wool, and iron and steel and manufactures
of iron and steel. Great Britain only takes
about 60 per cent of American agricultural
and manufactured products, but also a
larger share, amounting to az per cent of
manufactures, than do Central America,
the West Indies and South America COM
bined.

winner of this tournament will be entitled
to receive the whole purse of $4,000 and the
excess of the receipts over the expenses.
1t is expected that the prize will aggregate
over $4,000. The tournament was formally
opened by an address by Judge Gary OF the
Superior Court of Chicago, AS each of the
players was introduced hearty round OF

THE WAR IN EUROPE.
Defeat OF the ServIans by Prince Alex
amdeR's Army.

Defeat OF the SeRvIams ny Prince Alex
amdeF's Army.
The Bulgarians, after desperate fighting,
have carried one of the ServiaE positions,
which were menacing Slovitzna. Prince
Alexander led the Bulgarian columns in per-
son. After the heavy fighting Prince Alex
ander was forced to retreat to Slovitzna.
Both sides lost heavily. A sharp fight has
occurred on the left side of the Servian ad-
vance line, where both forces hold their
positions. The Bulgarian force at Widdin
has blocked the Danube river. An official
report from the front states that the Ser
VANS entered Bresnik yesterday. The town
had been abandoned by the Bulgarians,
who left eight guns. The capture of Bres-
mix leaves that route open to Sophia. The
Bulgarian army of the Widdin district may
be considered completely destroyed and dis
persed.
Further details of the capture of Bresnik
state that the ServiAns carried eight lines
of intrenchments and captured 161 prison
ers, with number of rifles. The Bulgar-
ian commander at Bresnik fed. The Bull
garian volunteers, with their leader, also
fed.
It is almost certain that Greece will go to
war. A captain of the Greek navy has
started for London to purchase men-of-
war.
Troops are arriving at Sophia from Rou-
melia. Twenty : Ave thousand Servians
were engaged near Slivnitza, while there
were only Il, 900 Bulgarians in the engage
ment. The Bulgarians forced the Servian
right wing back at the point of the bayonet
for several kilometers with great losses. 1t
is reported that the Servians fred upon the
Red Cross ambulances. A militia force
from Widdin has made successful inroad
into Servia, capturing 1900 prisoners. The
Servians retreated IN disorder from Bull
chino, Smoltcha and Tuden.
Queen Natalie has received dispatch
from Zaichar announcing the fall of Wild
din. A portion of the Moravata division,
after severe fight captured Radomir. Four
hundred prisoners have arrived at Belgrade
from the front.

IN THE BALKANS.
Conflicting RumOrs of Defeats and
Victories.

Two Bulgarian battalions were defeated
in an engagement with Servians on the road
between Bresnik and Pernik. The BuIga-
rians lost 200 men killed and wounded.
The Servians captured sixty prisoners and
quantity of ammunition and provisions.
An account from Servian headquarters of
the battle before Slivnitza states that the
Servians were unable to bring their full
strength into action and were thus defeated
and compelled to withdraw to the Drago-
man pass. The junction of the Danube,
Drina and Shumalia divisions with the sec
ond-cIass reserves will be completed to-day
This will bring forty-eight more battalions
of infantry into action together. The SCI

A violent cannonade is going on at Slavi-
vi, where the Bulgarians are strongly in
trenched. The Bulgarians are advancing
from Sophia in the direction of Pernik to
meet the advancing Moravo division of Ser
VANS, which is heavily handicapped, the
snow making the plain swamp.
The Bulgqrians repulsed the Servian at
tacks on Slavinyi and drove the enemy
back eight kilometers. Subsequently the
Servians opened strong artillery fire from
their right wing. The Bulgarians holly
defended their position, and again repulsed
the Servians. Victory finally belonged to

troops was admirable.
An official Servian report says: The ac-
counts that the troops menscing Slivnitza
were repulsed by the Bnlgarians under the
immediate command of Prince Alexander
are false. The Bulgarians succeeded in ap-
preaching the Servian positions under COW
er of heavy fog, but after sharp fighting
were repulsed. The Servians drove the
Bulgarians to the Slavinyi intrenchments,
and in the whole engagement had 500 men
killed and wounded. A accommodating
force sent in the direction of Slavinyi Skin
mished for two hours with the Bulgarians
and then retired within the Servian lines.
The Balkan Conference met, and it is
stated that one of the results is that Turk
ish envoy will go to Philippopolis under the
Porte's name, but without mandate from
the conference.
Prince Alexander has ordered the remov-
al of State archives from the Treasury at
Sophia to a place of safety. They will
probably be taken to Shumla. The Con-
suls at Sophia are removing their papers
to Rutsch and elsewhere.

The Participants Both Getting Tired
Of the weary War.


of the weary War.
The Servians have become dispirited over
| their recent reverses. The Bulgarians, on
the other hand, have been aroused to the
| highest pitch of enthusiasm by the example
of Prince Alexander and the victories gain
red under his leadership. They have gradu-
ally driven back the Servisn advance line
until the Bulgarian forward line of intrench-
ments is within one mile of Dragoman vii
lage. In the fighting yesterday the Servian
loss was 500 men killed and wounded. One
of Prince Alexander's aides was killed dur
ing the brunt of yesterdays engagement.
Official admissions from Belgrade show
that a panic exists there. The siege of
Widdin has been raised and General Losch-
jarin, who with his division has been carry
ing on the siege, is now marching to assist
King Milan.
After an exchange of dispatches between
Count Kalanoky, the Austro Hungarian
Minister of Foreign Affairs, and NJ. Gar
achy, the Servian Premier and Minister of
Foreign Affairs, the latter has gone to Prot,
to remain with King Milan until decisive
action is taken at SliVinitza. HostiIities
were in allegiance in honor of the feast of
st. Michael. The ServiAn guards conduct
ing prisoners to Belgrade look fatigued and

the fighting yesterday. The right wing of
the Bulgarian army advanced from its forti-
fed position and attacked the Servian posi-
tons between Slivinitza aud Drsgoman.
The center of the column of the Bulgarian
army followed, in order to support the right.
The fighting then became general, and the
Bulgarians not being able to drive the Ser
vians from their intrenchments, towards
noon the left wing of the Bulgarian army
also advanced and assumed the offensive.
An obstinate engagement ensued until six
o'clock in the evening. The Bulgarians
found it no easy task to dislodge the Ser
VANS from their positions. The former
fought desperately, however, and finally
compelled the Servians to retreat to Drago-
man, the Bnlgarians holding all the roads
leading thereto. The latter took 1000
prisoners, including several officers.

The war In Burmah,

The British forces in Burmah have car
ried the forts in the vicinity of Minihla,
and captured the city after three hours fir
ing from the floating batteries, armed
launches and heavy guns on board the
steamers. The British lost four men killed
and twenty-seven wounded. AS Minihla
was the most strongly fortified position on
the river, by its capture the way is cleared
for the British advance to Mandalay, as the
forts at Ava, twelve miles from the Burmese
capital, are only slight structures compared
with those at Minihla.
