by Cable to The Tribune
London, Nov. lG.-It is stated in Con-
stantinople that Bulgaria has demand
ed the surrender OF the Turkish army
at Tchataldja as a necessary condition
to any cessation of war and march OF
troops upon the Turkish capital.
From Vienna also 1t is reported that
the Bulgarian terms are so hard that
IL may be impossible for Turkey to ac-
cept them. The correspondent of THE
Daily Telegraph" in that city says the
stipulations consist Of seven points.
Included in the first stipulation Is
the surrender Of the Tchataldja army
and its withdrawal, guarded by Bull
garians.
The second provides for the evacua-
tion by the Turks of Adrianople, Sou
tart MOnastir and Yanina.
The third calls for payment Of a war
indemnity
The fourth demands the surrender
Of conquered territory.
The fifth calls for the internationali-
zatio of Constantinople.
The sixth provides for the opening
Of the Dardanelles and the making OF
Salonlca a free port.
Since Bulgaria alread dy has expressed
a willingness to leave the status OF
Constantinople and the Dardanelles to
the powers. says the correspondent. the
NTH and sixth clauses Of the terms as
reported here appear improbable.
Question Of Constantinople.
A Constantinople dispatch to the
"Koelnische Zeitung" declares that
Bulgaria has abandoned her intentions
to enter Constantinople, being thus ad-
vised by Russia and Great Britain.
Altogether, all indications point to the
fact that an armistice has already been
arranged, and II may be supposed that
the terrible conditions OF famine and
destitution prevailing among the refu-
gees in the neighborhood Of CONSTANT
HbDlt, NillNiA "Nli 'NlNhihN'N w pI'-
vide a hotbed for the spread Of cholera,
may have had something to do with
Bulgarias decision.
The correspondent OF the "Reichs-
post with the Bulgarian forces de-
clarcs. however, that the army insists
upon the occupation Of the capital and
that further negotiations for an armis-
ticc will not be allowed 10 hinder the
military operations. He says further
that the Bulgarian attack on the
Tchataldia lines haze been successful
and that the Turkish defences have
been pierced near Hademkeui and its
defending force driven back.
In view Of the inconsistent accounts
Of the military situation latterly given
by the "Reichspost' correspondent. this
statement can hardly be accepted with
out independent confirmation. which so
far is not forthcoming.
Various reports have drifted in, how
ever, among them that Adrianople had
fallen, that the Bulgarians had capt
ured Hademkeui, the headquarters OF
the Turkish commander in chief; that
Nazim Pacha, the Turkish generals
simo. had capitulated and that the
Bulgarians. either by sea or land, had
reached the vicinity OF kilia, on the
Black Sea coast, a short distance from
'ChaQa rannrtC still
without confirmation.
The announcement that the Bulga-
rians had reached the vicinity Of kilia,
on the Black Sea, came in a single line
telegram from Constantinople yester-
day. Their appearance there shows
that they have managed 10 creep
around behind what is known as the
Forest of Belgrade. on the outskirts Of
Constantinople, and are now in close
proximity To Therapia, the summer re-
sort of the residents Of Constantinople.
F-om Therapia a good road leads to
within few miles of Kilio.
BuIgars Near Bosporus.
Kilia is only three miles to the west
or Cane Rumeli, at the Black Sea en-
trance 10 the Bosporus, and about
double that distance to the northward
of Therapia.
The dash Of the Bulgarian troops
seems to demonstrate that General
Sayoff, the Bulgarian commander in
chief, is not wholly depending on a
frontal attack on the line of fortifica-
tions at Tchataldja.
II a strong Bulgarian force is al
ready at Kilia, on the flank of the
Turkish army. the fate of the Ottoman
troopa cannot, in military opinion. re-
main long in doubt If the Bulgarian
troops decide to enter Constantinople
before a definite armistice is agreed to-.
There is strongly defended fort at
Eilia. but this was constructed to de-
fend the place from attack by sea and
NAV be open to assault OH the land side.
Rsvaees Of Cholera.
Meanwhile another enemy. cholera. Is
doing immense havoc in the Turkish
ranks. Sanitary conditions from
