At the TchataIdia Front.
Observers who have been to the
Turkish front agree that the capture
of the Tchataldja lines must prove "
task Of tremendous difficulty. The DAYS
the Bulgarian troops were compelleu
10 use 70. the bringing up OF guns
ammunition and reinforcements were
taken advantage Of by the Turks 10 ais
themselves into intrenchments ana %
place their guns in positions, thus CIV
ing themselves distinct advantage
over the attackers. The Turkish SOL
diers. too who had been so shaken ny
their previous defeats, appear to nave
been steadied, and thus far have maze
q most determined stand.
On the opening day of the engage
ment the Bulgarian troops MADE thei
main attack to the east Of TchataloJa'
their object being to break through a'
the point where the railway TO con-
stantinople makes a loop. The strong
forts. the marshes and the guns OF the
Turkish warships had evidently dis
couraged them from making an at
tempt 10 turn either flank Of the TURK
ish lines.
should the Bulgarians be successful
in their effort to break through the
Turkish left centre Nazim Pacha's
army will be pushed back to the north
east and its retirement upon the capital
cut off.
The Turks seem to have no hope OF
rolling back the Bulgarian forces, but
they still hope to succeed in holding
the lines Of Tchataldja.
Sortie at Adrianople
The Turkish garrison Of Adrianople
lost six field guns and several thou
sands Of their men were Killed or
wounded during a sortie from the fort
ress on Saturday according to spe-
ciaI dispatch received here.
The Greek army is on its way to-
Yanina. the fortress in the southwest
ern portion Of European Turkey, and
the Greek fleet continues busy in the
.Egean. II occupied yesterday the ISL
and Of Icaria.
Acting on the recommendation OF
Italy. the Austrian government is said
TO have modified its demands, and no
longer objects to the construction of a
railway from the Danube through Ser
via TO the Adriatic. she has also aban-
doned her scheme of a customs union
with Scrvia.
on the other hand, Great Britain,
Russia and France are giving counsels
of moderation and Cancellation to Ser
via. The latter still talks of taking
one or more ports on the Adriatic.
Negotiations for Armistice.
While fighting is going on at Tcha-
taldia the negotiations for an armistice
have lost some Of their interest but
have not been forgotten by the bel
ligerents. The Balkan allies continue TO
exchange views on the subject, and II
is expected that their full terms will
be submitted to Turkey in the course
Of a few days. 1t is stated that these
will include a demand for the cession
of all the Turkish territory down TO the
Ergene River and the payment Of an
indemnity Of S12O,OOO,OOO.
At Constantinople everything is
quiet. although the landing Of larger
attachments of marines and bluejack-
cts than had been expected has caused
some perturbation among the Turks.
The most comprehensive measures
have been taken for the protection Of
Pera, the foreign quarter, and on a sig
nal which will be given in case Of the
outbreak of disorder the foreign ma
rines and bluejackets will cooperate
with the Turkish military police. which
enjoys the confidence Of the foreign
embassies. The warships Of the foreign
fleets have been assigned to positions
from which they can command the out
lying parts of the city.
Terms Of Peace Discussed.
According TO the Sofia correspondent
of 1.-THE Daily Mall the Bulgarian
Cabinet sat all day discussing the
terms of peace to be offered to Turkey
in the name of the Balkan League.
Servia insists on acquiring a part Of
the Albania coast including the port
of Durazzo. There is reason TO believe,
