STILL IN THE AIR
Not Much Definite information on
Grand Trunk Suspension.

London, Nov. 15.-Turkey has now
formally appealed 10 Bulgaria for
peace, thus forestalling the tardy ac-
ton of the European concert toward
mediation. No armistice has yet
been concluded; difficulties have
arisen about the terms. 1t is said that
Bulgaria demands the evacuation of
Adrianople, Scutari and Monastir as
a condition of agreeing to an arms
tice. Negotiations, however, con-
tinue. The censorship is again ex-
ceedingly severe, and it is difficult to
arrive at any correct idea of the mill
tary position The fall of Adrianople
is rumored from both Servian and
Turkish sources, but this is still I'M
confirmed.
Another report says that the Bull
garians have occupied Hademkeui,
81 miles from Constantinople. If this
is true it is very important capture,
as that town is Nazim Pashas stan
headquarters While the Vienna
Reichspost correspondent with the
Bulgarian army reports what he de-
scribes as numerous fighting" along
the Tchatalja lines Turkish official
reports deny that there has been any
serious fighting there for several
days.
With regard to the other points on
improvement in the weather has per
mitted of the resumption of the Mon
tenegrin attacks against the Turkish
positions around Scutari. with some
success. A battle is imminent OF
! Monastir, where the garrison has en-
! deavored 10 make terms for its sur
I render, but imposed conditions which
the Servian crown prince was unable
to grant. Should an attack on Mon
astir be made the Turks are not ex-
pected TO offer serious resistance TO
the combined Servian and Greek arm
les, and the fate of Monastir is likely
to follow that of Salonca.
The Greeks continue their advance
/ toward Janina. They nave now cap
tured Metzovo, few miles to the
north vest. A report through Bucba-
rest places the Bulgarian losses in
! the war at far greater figure than
| has yet been estimated. According
| to this report the killed and wounded
| number between 10000 and $4,000 out
! of a total of $4,000 men and it is
! pointed out after allowance is made
for holding the line of communicai on
only 100000 effective men are left for
| fighting.
one reason which is considered
likely to induce Bulgaria to consent
to the armistice and to peace settle
ment is fear of cholera Official re
| ports issued at Constantlnople rep
resent that comparatively few cases
are occurring daily, but other reports
say that the epidemic is serious with
/ a high mortality.
There is no new development in
the diplomatic situation. but an Of
/ fical denial has been issued at ST
/ Petersburg to the reports that the
| Russian government has pronounced
itself definitely in favor of Servia's
claim for an Adriatic port, or has
sent instructions to the Russian en-
bassador at Vienna to that effect.
