 LONDON, Nov. 24.-The war news from the Balkans tonight is meagre. Seldom has there been war in which all Europe was directly interested of which it was so diff cult to learn what movements were made Everything up to last accounts was unfavor- able to Seryia. Her attack upon Widdin by the northern division of the army was re- pulsed, the central division was being stout ly resisted before Slivnitza and the southern division had been presented by Bulgarian strategy from forming junction with the central division now in active engagement. The engagement which is probably now be- ing desperately fought around SliEnitza will be the decisive one of the campaign. Tur- keys request to King Milan to cease hostili- ties is on the way and will check operations in case of a Servian victory, while the pow efs will certainly call halt should Bulgaria win the battle. The only effect of the bat tie, therefore, whichever way it goes, will be 8 moral one on the final adjustment by the powers.
 BELGRADE, Nov 24-The latest dispatches from the front show that the Servians are still retreating and that the Bulgarians are advancing toward the frontier The Servian rear is continually threatened by Bulgarian cavalry, but no serious encounter is yet re- ported. The Servian general headquarters have been moved back to Pirot in Servian territory, twelve miles from the frontier, whence they were advanced to Tzaribrod last Sunday. A state of semi panic exists at Belgrade and the Landsturm has been summoned to prepare immediately for active service.
 LONDON, Nov. 25, 4 a. m.-A dispatch to the Standard from Pirot states that the Ser vians are evacuating in great disorder and trying to make their way across the frontier wherever they can. The demoralization is complete. Discipline is gone and the officers have almost lost control over the men of their commands. The com properly guarded and there is almost total lack of ambulance to carry off the wounded. The retreat therefore involves great suffering and must result in terrible loss of life. The people of Belgrade are enraged against King Milan for his wanton sacrifice of his soldiers lives. The name of his hereditary rival, Prince Peter Karageorgevitch is on ev- which was discovered on the 9th inst. is deemed very probable.
 King Milan has decided to abdicate the throne of Servia. The country will be tenn porarily occupied by Austrian troops if such 8 course is deemed necessary to prevent the accession Of Prince Peter Karageorgevitch.
