LONDON, Oct. 16.-The Servians crossed

oclocK yesterday afternoon. They are adj

Dragoman pass. King Milan is in COM
ihand: A panic prevails at Sofia. Four
0atalilons OF infantry have gone to defend
Dragoman pass. They have with them
only two batteries of small fhId
guns. There is no Bulgarian heavy
artillery nearer to the scene of the dis
turbance than that at Sistona and Rutschuk.
IL IS expected that Sofia will be captured
by coup d'main. Austria has warned
hlng Milan that whatever may be the issue

and the Danubian Navigation company
nave been notified to prepare for
the transportation of troops and mu-
nltlons of war. Delegates from the
oervlan Red Cross society have arrived
at Pesth and Vienna. They are commits
Sloned to purchase hospital wagons. It is

suea calling out all the reserves for active
service: Prnce Alexander has inspected

garla, Servia and Greece more strongly
than ever to remain quiet. The porte;s
note regarding the armaments of Greece
and Servia gave the powers ground to pro-
test against their warlike attitude. The
report that Greece had offered to

dors have adjourned their sittings. but will
reassemble shortly, when it is expected that
they will have received further Instructions
from their respective governments in rela-

ordered to advance in the direction of
Mlssa. A battle between the Serviaps and
Turks IS imminent. The Journal De St.
Petersburg to-day, in commenting on the
Bulgarian 81 question, shows signs
Oh lmpatlence at the DELAY

Russla will not submit to the dictation
OF NJ Karveloff, the Bulgarian prime minis
ter. 1t the warning of the ambassadors TO
fllnce Alexander to pacify Roumelia at the
FISK OF losing the union does not make
bulgaria return to reason, the fresh con-
ference to assemble shortly will settle the
ol1ncuity on the same basis as the starting
polnC IN the present course of action.''
