Constantinople. - That Adrianople
has fallen is the rumor here.
II is reported that considerable
skirmishing has been going on in the
region Of Lake Derkos, on the Turkish
right wing, where the Bulgarians are
assembling in large force.
London. -Turkey has now formally
appealed TO Bulgaria for peace. thus
forestalling the tardy action of the
European concert towards mediation.
No armastice has yet been conclud.

terms. 1t is said that Bulgaria de-
mands the evacuation Of Adrianople,
Scutari and Monastir as n condition
of agreeing to an armistice. Negotia-
tions, however, continue.
The censorship is again exceedingly
severe, and 1t is difficult to arrive at
any correct idea of the military posi-
ton.
The fall Of Adrianople is rumored
from both Servian and Turkish
sources. but this is still unconfirmed
Another report says the Bulgarians
have occupied Hademekeuni, twenty
one miles from Constantinople. II
this is true, II is very important cap

staff headquarters.
While the Vienna Reichspost cor
respondent with the Bulgarian army
reports what he described as "mur-
derous fighting" along the Tchatalja
lines, Turkish officials report deny
there has been any serious fighting
there for several days.
