Sofia, Nov. "details thus far of
the rout OF the immense Turkish army
by the Bulgarians show that the Rul-
garian forces were numerically ia
inferior. The Turkish army is re-
ported to have aggregated 200,OGf
men. 1t included the garrison that had
retreated from the fortress of Kirk
Kilisseh as well as the main body OF
Turkish troops that had advanced
from Constantinople. 1t comprised
practically the whole OF the Turkish
troops remaining in Europe apart
from the garrisons at Adrianople, Sa'
loniki, Monastir, Janina, Scutari and
a few other towns.
This great army was under the per.
sCnal command of Nazim Pasha min
lister of war and commander-in-chief
who was assisted by some of the
abest Turkish generals.
The fight opened with the discovery
by the Turks of number OF Bulgar-
ian cavalry scouts. The Turks
brought in their outposts and those
were followed by lines of Bulgarian
skirmishers, who were succeeded by
the main Bulgarian army in fighting

The battle, which was destined to
last several days and result in the de-
feat Of the Turks, was soon in prog.
fess along the line.
The Bulgarian troops repeatedly de.
livered fierce attacks, some times at
one point, some times at another,
along the Turkish line extending from
Lule Burgas to Serai.
The Turkish troops offered desper-
ate resistance but were unable to
Withstand the onslaught of the i'm.
petuous Belgians, and finally they
turned and fled in great disorder to-

The losses of the Ottoman army are
reported to have been enormous in
dead, wounded and prisoners as well
as ammunition and other supplies.
The capture of third Turkish mill
tary train near Lule Bergas before
the battle was an immense advantage
to the Bulgarians, as it furnished
them with more facilities for the
of their troops and sup
plies to the district where the fight
ing took place.
Kustendje, Rumania, Oct. 31.--(By
wireless from Constantinople Oct 81.
1 p. m.)-The defeat of the Turkish
army under Nazim Pasha opens the
way to Constantinople for the Bull
garian troops. This will, in the opin-
ion of diplomats, bring about Euro.
pean complications.
The most immediate danger con-
Germs the position of this city. Most
agree that no real defense
3an be made along the Tchatalja line,
to protect the capital.
In the event of hordes of beaten and
soldiers falling back on
he capital, it is difficult to foresee
What could save the city from sack
md pillage. This fear is present with
he inhabitants who realize that the
ate of the Turkish empire hangs in
he balance.
1t is reported that secret meeting
vas held recently in the Mosque Of
'atieh the most fanatical quarter of
tamboul, where inf1ammatory speech
s were delivered by Mussulman
riests. who advised a rising against
he Christians.
