troops. has followed up his victories and is driv-
lug the Servians slowly but surely, from Bull
garan territory. The latest dispatches say that

Prince made a triumphal entry into the city,
and was received with enthusiasm by the popu-
lace.
The Servians are continuing their retreat, and
the main army is now in Serviau territory. The
troops seem to be demoralized and since the re-
capture of Tsaribrod by the Bulgarans they
have fallen back without resistance to the vic
| torious Prince Alexander. The Bulgarians have
occupied all the positions recently held by the
Servians in Bulgaria, and are advancing to the
| frontier. The Servian headquarters are now at
Prot After completing the massing of his
| army King Milan will head final attack on the

'"The Servians are retreating in great disorder,
and are trying to make their way across the
frontier wherever they can. The Generalization

| General Jovanovtch late commander of the
Danube division, who was dismissed from his
| command for disobeyine ORDERS has committed
suicide by shooting himself with a revolver. The
recent disasters to the Servian army from the
| defeat before Sivnitza down to the reoccupation
of Tsaribrod by the Bulgarians, are attributed
to his failure to carry out the orders given him.
The Journal de ST. Petersburg to-day says:
Upon Russias initiative the powers are promot-
ing scheme for the suspension of hostilities in
the Ealkans, but hopes are entertained that Ser
via and Bulgaria, although incapable of resisting
the promptings of their passion will become
sensible enough to see that it is to the popular
| interests of both countries that they. on their
own accord, sheathe their swords"
