 in a dispatch from Belgrade in which it is reported the Servians are be- ginning to declare that the autono- nous Albania, which was agreed upon before the war started, has now be- come invisible. In the dispatch the Mussulman Alabanians, who fought against the Servian troops are blamed for the change in the Seryian attitude. Instead of the 20-mile stretch of the Adriatic coast hitherto claimed by Servia the same dispatch says that Servia now wants more and that Mon tenegro is to get more than her al lotted third share of the district of Novipazar. The correspondent remarks further:
 The Emperor of Russia will be taken as arbitrator between Servia and Bulgaria in regard to those conquests which were not foreseen in the orig inal agreement between the allied forces"
 The Bulgarian troops in the mean while in the vicinity of Tchorlu are preparing to resume their advance on Tchatalja. After four nights of contin uous fighting around Luleburgas the Bulgarian soldiers were given two days rest. This period expired this forenoon. The troops now probably arc on the march The Bulgarian army near Tchorlu is being reinforced with troops taken from the investing forces around Adrianople, whose places in turn have been taken by Servians.
 Second Army on> March
 A second Bulgarian army, command. ed by General Kutintchef is march ing along the coast of the sea of Mar mora to effect sweeping juncture with the Bulgarians, commanded py General Dimitrien at Tehatalja TO get on the move so quickly the Bull garian troops must have worked hard on the tablelands. They have thous- ands of wounded Turks and Bulgarians to care for They have had to burn or bury a large number of killed. It is officially reported in a Belgrade dispatch that the Servians having an- n!hilated the Turks in Macedonia were ordered to assist the Bulsarians. Greeks and Montenegrins. A large through Sofia on the way to Adrian ople, the bombardment of which con tinues without cessation.
 Nothing has been heard of the post tion of the Turks at Tchatalja, but it is believed that that part of the army | managed to get behind the positions there. They are in poor condition as besides the host of wounded, thous- ! ands of men dropped from the lines ex- hausted from want of food and most of these threw away their rifles ant accoutrements They have had two days in which to rally.
 Bulgarian advances probably will be slower than heretofore as highways are in poor condition from heavy ralrs. This will cause difficulty in bringing up artillery.
 It is reported that the Greeks made premature attack on Saloniki and were repulsed but this lacks conhrina- ton. A combined attack on that city by Greeks, Seryians and Bulgarians is expected shortly
 Another report which is both unlikely and uneonhrmed comes from Vienna to the effect that Great Britain has warned Bulgaria against attempting to enter Constantinople. Great Britain's chief in- terest in that city at present is to prevent massacres by the wholesale It Is said Turkey will ask each of the powers to send another warshp to the porte.
 Dispatches from the Turkish capital say the Ottoman papers is taking the situa- tion calmly with the exception of tie Hilali Osman edited by the notorious Sheik shawish which publishes violent article against the powers. The organ is being eagerly bought by the public.
 The British attitude was explained in the house of commons by Sir Edward Grey. foreign secretary. He was loudly cheered, when in reply to question he said:
 No one will be disposed 10 dispute the rights of the Balkan states to formulate the terms on which they are prepared to conclude peace. Do not think that the great powers are more slow than other people 10 adjust their known views to the march of events. The powers are ex- changing views in regard to the position in the near east but It must be a very delicate matter for them to interfere be- tween two powers unless they do SO at the request of bOth.
 Asked whether Great Britain could not follow the precedent of MT. Roosevelt in the Russo Japanese war Sir Edward Grey didn't reply. Referring again to the war he added nothing untoward at Contsantinople had occurred. He denied that Great Britain had given warning Of any character to Bulgaria. The movement of British ships and their intentions were precisely similar to those of the other powers, namely, an extraordinary move- ment to protect lives, he said. The secre- tary said it was in accord with the ideas n the poWprg.
