The censorship is again exceedingly
severe. and 1t is difficult TO arrive at
any correct. idea OF the military po-
sition. The fall Of Adrianople is ru-
mored from both Servian and Turkish
sources. but this 10 still unconfirmed-
Another report says the Buigarians
have occupied Hademkeui. twenty one
miles from Constantinople. II this is
true. II is very important capture,

While the Vienna Reichspost cor
respondent with the Bulgarian army
reports what he describes as "mur-
derous hghting" along the Tchatalja
lines. Turkish Official reports deny
that there has been any serious fight
ing there for several days.
With regard to other points. an i'm
proyement in the weather has per-
mitted the resumption of the Monte
negrin attacks against the Turkish po-
sitions around Scutari, with some sue
cess. A battle is imminent at Mon
astir- where the garrison has en-
deavored to make terms for its sur
render. but imposed conditions which
the Serviar crown prince was unable
to grant.
Should an attack on Monastir be
made. the Turks are not expected TO
offer serious resistance to the COM

A report through Bucharest places
the Bulgarian losses In the war at
Gar greater figure than has yet been
estimated. According to this report
the killed and wounded number be-
tween $4,000 and 10000, out OF a total
Of 100000 men. and it Is pointed out
that after allowance is made for hold
ing the line OF communication only
10000 effective men are left for
fighting.
One reason which Is considered like
" to induce Bulgaria to consent TO
an armistice and to a peace settle
ment. is fear OF cholera Omcial re-
ports issued at Corstan,inople repre-
sent that comparatively few cases are
occurring daily. but other reports say
the epidemic is serious with a high
mortality.
There 10 no development in the dip
lomatic situation. but an Official denial
has been issued at ST. Petersburg to
reports that the Russian government
