ASSOCIATED PRESS pIsPATcH1 LONDON, Feb. 5.-The Daily Tele- graph publishes a long uncensored dispatch from it's correspondent at Constantinople. which says the Fur kish people are in such state of misery and Restitution that they are completely indifferent to the fate of Adrianople.
 There is not a cent in the treas ury." says the dispatch, ''and the country is drifting to ruin and bank i ruptcy"
 From a military and economic standpoint Turkeys position is that of her people. Nothing can prevent even worse misfortunes, except the i immediate acceptance of the inevit- able
 The Bulgarians are devoting their chief attention to the bombardment of Adrianople and an attempt to capture the Galipoli Peninsula, so as to take the Turkish forts from the ' rear. An official dispatch issued l from Constantinople indicates the Bulgarians have been successful in their first operations in the latter quarter. and according to Sofia dispatch the capture of Gallipoli is the chief object of the Bulgarians for the ] time being and serious attempt will be made on the Tchalja lines. l The same dispatch says the Bull garian attack on Gallipoli was sup ported by the Greek navy in the gulf of Aros. Fifty thousand Bulgarians | landed along this coast last Novem- | if he during the armistice this force was strengthened by artillery. Should the Bulgars capture the Turkish forts nothing, can prevent the Greek fleet l from entering the Dardanelles, where, 1 in the opinion of naval officers, they could easily defeat the inferior Fur 1 kish fleet, in which case ConstantI- | ncple would be at the mercy of the allies.
 l The ConstantinOple correspondent | of the Standard sends strange | story, reporting the remnant of tine | Turkish army at Monastir, which has never been precisely accounted for. | is still operating in that district and | has captured the important town of keritza, less than fifty miles from l Monastir The statement attributed | to Greek Premier M. Venizelos that peace will speedily be concluded. tends to confirm the report current l in European capitals of recent days
 to the same effect. although there has been no evidence in the shape of
 fresh diplomatic movement to sup port it.
 The Turkish government is. how
 ever. evidently in dire straits for
 money, even attempting to dispose or 1 the crown jewels, and is making de-
 spairing attempts to place the treas ury bonds of Turkey and Egypt among the Moslems of India. It an
 nounced that the ambassadors in con | ference in London arrived at an
 agreement upon the formula settling upon a plan under which the Balkan states allies will take over a portion
 of the ottoman public debt and set ting also the allies liability with regard to the ottoman railroads.
