London. Oct 51-A four days battle in Thrace has ended in the triumph Of the Bulgarian commander in chief, General SavoH. whose skilful strategy has probably brought to @ close one of the shortest and most remarkable wars on record.
 A great Turkish army estimated at over 2OO.00O men has been defeated Snd is in retreat. Constantinople is believed to be at the mercy of the victorious Bulgarian army, and coun- cil sitting at the Porte Is discussing she advisability of suing for peace.
 Such is the news which comes from Constantinople.

 Adrianopie Still Holds Out.
 Adrsnople still holds out. but has kost its importance now that the Turks have met their Sedan at Lule Eurzas.
