Hcndon. Nov l. While Il greaD dis orgoniz2d hord of Mohamtnrdana, madaened 10 faua}i'ism by defeat, are teelia@ back fr m whence h y came before an orderly, lnyelenl.n@ ad vance Of the victorious Rulsaf5 every chaueellery of Eures~ is aWaitia% with gIayest apprehension tonight the Faaic developments tlat tse next few hours my bring.
 The Bulgarians, witt q detarmina- tion 5ha' cannot now b. GeR.ed gro marching on COn8tantino le. But first to the tes of the city will be the .nuti .cl Turkish army and mass&cre f Christians may follow that will have no parallal ill all of Turkeys back-marhed history. Every agency at heir command ha 5 been put in motion by the powers to ,sevelt such q disaster but if ere ! Turks have been surprised by the Bulgarian successes the uoWe"s are more so and ton sht the ministry of Europe realizes thst eleventh hour in erfaption c Il net fc@estall the i'm pending calamity.
 Warships have been q spatcned to | C nstantino0la, SalonilSa and other Turkish ports, but the hundreds Of l seat cred Ghl stan mig sions must go unprotGctad. There is grave fear too, 1 ti-t sigh of theif crushed minions may incite the M3hammedans wltiin ] Gonstantnopla to mereiess attack on those Christian residen for ithe aeliveraree of whom the Balkans have fought. In that event the city will he looted by the semi-barb9rians whose sole aim will be to to leave 10 the eonquering Bulgars a wrecked capi al.
 Representatives of the powers are in conference tonight with represen- tatfves of the Balkans and every for eign office is alert to take advantage of every n.ingency that may open 8 way for bringing the war 10 an end.
 The Turkish congress adjourned this morning after an all night ses- sion but the ministers are in confer- enr'e again tonight The ai' titude or mini sters toward suing the Balkans for peace is mot known, but the length of the conferences indicate that there is strong division of opinion that may not be bridged in time to save the capital.
 Car Ferdinand has said that le will treat for peace with the Sultan alone and in Constantinople.
 Indicating that reports that the Balkans have not considered the ac- cepting peace propositions were pre- mature, d dispatch from Sofia states hat 100000 recruits have been or dered to march to the front.
 While the slow moving diplomatic machinery of the powers was getting in motion today the Bulgarian army was steadily fighting it's way onward.
 The Turks tonight are falling back on Tchatalja, only 25 miles from Constant .inople but whether for the purpose of making last stand there is not known. Only a part of the widely scattered Turkish army can reach Tchatalja before the main Bull garian divisions are upon the forts and military critics here incline to the belief that the broken forces will not carry at any DO nit between them and Constantinople. The Bulgarians are advancing in the line which they have maintained since the final bat tie logan three days ago, always closing in as the peninsula narrows. One dispatch reports that capture of Tch5flu, the position on the left ex- tremity of the triangular Turkish frong It is possible that by skirtinG the rieht wing of the Turkish forced | the left wing of the Bulgarian army will ne able to march down the coast of the Black Sea upon Constantinople practically without opposition.
