 arranged by the foreign officers and the foreign consulates also have devised ar engagements to protect their subjects. Two British steamers are lying in the harbor ready to embark British subjects and the people of other countries have similarity been provided for.
 The lack of news from the theatre of operations confirms the views already tel egraphed that the Bulgarans as we'll as the Turks are much exhausted from the fierce battles at Luleburgas and Tchorlu
 Both sides apparently are resting for q few days to recuperate, replenlsh supplies and await endorsements.
 That Bulgaria is beginning to feel the strain of the tremendous effort to defeat the Turks is proved by the facr that several youths who are being edu- oated in Constantinople and who are just 17 years of age, have been urgent ly called to the cQlorS.
 The Turks are utilizing the breath ing spell to prepare for the final eff fort to restrain the Bulgarians al the Tchatalja line. Large numbers of members of the first reserves are arriv- ing from the Anatolian provinces and the government also is dra wing upon the divisions at Ezerum and Baiburt, Asiatic Turkey, which has not been touched.

AL most without exception, the wouded are on the verge of collapse from exhaus- tfon.
 Many have been without attention for several days and a majority of them without food for "A hours.
 The hospitals already are crowded and symptoms resembling cholera have appeared. Those suspected of having the disease are isolated in a special shed. If the dread scourBe should come to Constantinopie where already there is so much distress and suffering among the wounded and refugees, the consequences are too horrible to con template.
