London. ootober 27.--A brief Sofia Aispstch tonight announces what may prove to be the most important move of the victorious Bulgarian army SO far the capture of Eski-Baba The dis patch describes this town as an fm- portant position on the main line be- tween Adr1anople ana constantinople. but onaits to say whether the Bulsa- r1ans ars in possession of the railway station. If they are astride the rail- way at this point. they have cut the communications between Constantinopie and saloniki. With 10000 Turkish troops now in Adrianople it had been supposed tho Turkish forces after the fall of Kirx Kihsssh were holding the lins from Kuleliburgas to Lulehburgas, . short distance east of Eski-Baba.
 The Bulgarian plan of campaign, ac- eording to the well informed correspon- dent to the Vienna Rsichspost at the army. will be the complete destruction Of all the Turkish forces along the Marttxa river and those retreating across the Erkene river. He describes General Dimitriefrs army as advancing On broad front tho right flank along . line from Yenidis to EskL Baba, the vestern column to Havia, with the central column already in the vicinity of KaveklL The eastern wing in forced marches, is effecttng great turning movement by way of Bunar- 11issAr, Visa and Serai toward the road from Iuichburgas to Chorlu.

A dispatch from Constantinople at midnight de- cieresf fhat the army Is preraring to take the offensive and that the cabinet has decided to prosecute the war with the utmost energy and prepare for a winter campaign should the present operations result unfsvorably for the Ottoman army.
 There is no indication yet. where the Turks will make a stand. They are everywhere falling back before the vic- torious allies. They evacuated the town of Istip in Macedonia. without resist ance. although 1t occupies strong natural position.
 .f. -k. in London 1t was stated tonight that Bulgaria, far from assuming that the war is approaching conclusion. has summoned another s0,000 reservists to the colors. l.....
 Turkish diplomats do not conceal their disappointment and surprise at the results of the campaign. but they point out that the main Turkish army has not yet been engaged, much less defeated.
