TWO FORTS CAPTURED.
Works at Adriauople Captured by Bull
earians-Two Important Positions.

Headquarters of the Bulgarian
Army, Mustapha Pacha. Nov 24.-The
general bonbardment of the forts OF
Adrianople. which began. Friday. has
yielded rich result to the besiegers,
who occupied two more important POI
sitions dominating the Turkish works
at II O'Clock, Saturday morning.
The Turkish guns We're completely
silen'eed and the losses to the garrison
must have been very heavy. seeing
they made no Tower than three de-
termined serties. in the course of
which they displayed the greatest
courage
Despite the rain OF Sneiis from the
Bulgarian guns they advanced again
and again in frantic endeavors To RE-
take the positions previously captured
from them
The Turks counted on darkness to
assist them in the success of their at
tacks. The vigilance of the Bagari-
ans. however, upset their scheme and
their efforts ended in complete failure
The result leaves the garrison %
Adrianople still further depressed and
demoralized, as in the fruitlessness of
their series of carefully organized sor-
ties, the strength of the defenders has
been seriously diminished.
Ammunition is beginning to run short
and no help can reach them from the
outside, but the Bulgarians are in =
position TO constantly increase their
forces.
Yesterdays memorable cannonade
leaves the Bulgarians in possession Of
two positions which will greatly ia
cilitate their future operations and the
Gordon of steel around the beleaguered
city has been drawn still closer.
Now there is another lun. during

the Bulgarians are being consolidated
and preparations are being made for

MERELY PROBATION.
Mobilization of Austra's Troops De-
MED by overnment-Russia Warlike.

Vienna. Nov. 24-The official eX-
PLANTATION of the censorship recently
established here, is that the Austrian
government does not wish unneces-
sarily to alarm the people by the
spread of false or exaggerated re
ports. The reason seems to be that
decisive action has been planned,
should Servia refuse to yield.
While the mobilization Of the Aus
trian forces is officially denied. it is
admitted that precautionary measures
have been taken to bring certain units
up TO a peace strength.
The Neue F'reie Press asserts that
by the retention of time expired men
and the reservists called up for exer
cises, nearly all of the II Russian
army corps located near the Austro
German frontier now approach their
