London, November 2o.--The war has shifted for time from the field of arms to that of diplomacy It may be that the war is near 10 an end. Plenipoten- tiaries for the benigerent towers will meet tomorrow at the village of Hadem- keui, few miles outside the capital for 2 preliminary discussion of the terms of an arlnissice.
 In the meantime the Turkish. Bulgarian and servian commanders have ordered z cessation or hostlitties, although cannon adng. which Nazim Pasha reports as un- important. occurred this morning. The sweeping terms which the allies were said to have. demanded yesterday as a basis for the armistice appear not to have been advanced but that plenipoten- tiafies may not know the levels of the { platform until they meet for it's discus sion. and it is almost certain that it will be on the basis of the Balkan states holding all the conquered country until 8 permanent treaty of peace is signed.
 How many vestlges of his former power they are prepared to eoncede the Turk depends largely upon two factors-the strength aud supplies of the allied armies threatening the gates of constantinople and the extent to which the cholera has embarrassed their plans It is certain the great transport difficulties hamper the Bulgarian army owing to the distance from it's base and the rough roads The cholera is counted on by the Turks to weaken the Bulgarian ambition for d triumphal march into the capital and the celebration Of mass in St. sophia But to make assurance donbly sure the Turk has resorted to the amazing plan of transforming the mosque into pest house and las crowded POGO cholera stricken patients within ts walls.

 Throughout Sunday, although exposed to severe punishment, the Turks fought with far more steadiness than at I.nle- burgas.
 Monday l eoald see that the Turkish outer line of defenses had been abandoned and the Bulgars were shelling the second line upon which the Turkish infantry had retired. It soon was clear that the Bulears had mounted guns in the cap tured positions.

 Turkish Line Concave
 '''rhe Turkish line of defense at Teha- talja was semi-crele presenting a con cave surface to an attack. If the center was broken the two wings would be Isolated. This apparently was what was happening. The Bulgarians had captured the outer line of defenses and estab- lished themselves at the center of the semi-circle and were like q triangular wedge being driven into the Turkish lines

 During the day no infantry attack was delivered, the redonbts being carried un- der cover of darkness at the point of the bayonet. The Bulgarians were still hammering away weakening the Turkish defense. and advancing relentlessly on nople.
 sAs night fell an ever thiekening stream of Turkish deserters was leaving the fighting line.r
