The Austrian official view was that
SO far as it was possible to draw any
conclusion whatever from the con

slightly to favor the Turks.
The Bulgarians' capture of the
Turkish frontier town of Mustapha

There appeared to be no doubt thai
the Turks have repulsed the Monte
negrins near Scutari and reports
that the Bulgarian and Serviar
forces marching southwark into Tur
key were meeting fierce opposition
were fairly well authenticated. Ru
mors of Turkish advance through
Juna Pass, and by way Of Timrusf
into Bulgarian territory, were also
generally credited.
That the sultan's troops woult
reach either Sofia or Philippopolii
without desperate lighting was any
thing but a foregone conclusion, how
