THE BULGARIANs IN HIGH GLEE over the Recent Victories Of Prince AIexander-The Ssrvian Advance Line Driven Back and the Siege of W1ddin Raised.
 LONDON, Nov. 20.-The recent victories gained by Prince Alexander have aroused the Bulgarians to the highest pitch of enthu- siasm. Yesterday his forces repulsed the Servian attacks on .Slavinje and drove the enemy back eight Kilometres. Subsequently the Servians opened strong artillery fire from the right wing. The Bulgarians stout ly defended their positions and again repuls- ed the Servians The Servian force consist ed of three battalions of infantry, one of ar tillery, and squadron of cavalry, the victo- ry finally belonging to the Bulgarians. The latter further repulsed Servian attack on Glintzi, taking several prisoners. The be-
 havior of the Bulgarian troops was admira-
 ble. Fifty Servian prisoners have arrived here. The Servian losses in yesterdays fighting were eight hundred men killed and wounded. The Servian advance line has been driven back until the Bulgarians' line of intrenchment is now within a mile of DfaSCInau village. LONDON, Nov. 20.-Upon receipt of Prince Alexander's call for volunteers for the de- fense of the country great aceessions were at
 once offered from Roumelia. Nothing could
 more clearly show the satisfaction of the
 populace of Eastern Roumelia with the Bull
 garian union than the alacrity of their re-
 sponse to the call to arms. This evidence of
 truly national spirit, together with the
 moral effect of the recent Bulgarian victo-
 ries on the frontier, have given Prince Alex
 ander's government prestige which it has
 hitherto entirely lacked in the eyes of Euro
 pean diplomats. If Widdin resists the Ser
 vian siege the invasion of Bulgaria may be
 pronounced a failure. At last accounts the
 Bulgarians still held the place. One report
 says the Servians have raised the siege and
 retired across the frontier, but this lacks
 confirmation. The Roumelian contingent
 is expected to arrive at Sofia on
 Sunday or Monday and it is believed
 that that place will then be strongly
 enough garrisoned to resist Servian attack,
 even if King Milan succeeds in penetrating
 the advance forces of Prince Alexander, now
 nerved to gallant resistance by the taste of
 victory. Prince A1exanders recent appeal
 to the Sultan for aid turns out to have been
 misunderstood. Instead of an appeal for
 protection against Servia it was formal de-
 mand on Turkey to carry out the provisions of the Berlin treaty and prevent Russia from
 trespassing on Bulgarian soil. This was in
 view of the massing of Russian troops on the frontier, movement which is still reported
 to be proceeding, and which, taken in con junction with similar demonstrations the part of Austria, is the most ominous feature of the present diplomatic situation
 VIENNA, Nov. 20.-The Servian officials at
 Belgrade admit that the recent encounters at Sliynitza. Sayinie and Glintzi 6ra these defeats has had g depressing effect up on the people and the inhabitants of Bel
 grade are panic-stricken. Additional proof of the gravity of the Servian situation is fur nished by the fact that the siege of Widdin has been raised and General Lischjanin with his army is marching with all possible speed
 to the assistance of King Milan.
 LONDON, Nov. 21.-The Times has inform
 ation that King Milan's advisers have coun-
 selled him to make proposition for imme-
 diate peace, whether Sofia falls into the Ser
 vians' hands or not. The paper says that the
 will probably be arranged next week.
 LONDON, Nov. 21.-The Telegraph's special
 correspondent of Belgrade has succeeded in evading the Servian press censorship by
 sending despatch from Seunlin in Austro-
 Hungary, three miles northwest of the
 Servian capital. He says the defeat of the Servians at Slivnitza and Slivinje was due to
 inadequate picketing, which enabled the Bulgarians to approach without discovery; over confidence in their own strength and nder-estimation of that of the enemy. Endorsements are being hurried forward and thirty-two thousand soldiers will arrive at Pirot on Monday.
 The British In Sight of Mandalay. LONDON, Nov. 20.-The foreign office has received notification from General Prender- gast, in charge of the British troops in Bur
 nah, that upon reaching the vicinity of the capital, Mandalay, he issued the proclama- ton customary in the case of such invasions, informing the people that the army had come to protect them from n,isrule and oppression | and that the Empress of India would be theil friend and benefactress. The formal de- mand upon King Theebaw for the surrender of Mandalay and submission to the British forces has also been made. The answer had | not been received up to the time of the for | warding of the foregoing information.
