The Bulgarian casualties in the last
days lighting at Adrianople are esti-

The first regiments which advanced to-
the attack lost 30 per cent. of their
officers and men in killed and
wounded.
Shnkri Pasha, the captured Turkish
commander-in-chief of Adrianople,
with his stan and seven other Turk
ish generals, arrived at Sofa, and
were received with fitting honors.
They will reside there during their
captivity.
Although the great powers have

the ultimatums politely and reply that
they agree with them in principle, but

The spectacle Of the six great pow

daughter OF the financier; Professor
BastianelN, Doctors Starr and Dixon
and other members of the Morgan
party were at the bedsire, but for hours
before his death the banker gave no
sign of consciousness.
Mr.. Morgan had spent far from e
satisfactory night. Part Of the time
he was in comatose state and at
another time was semiconscious. He
did not recognize Herbert L. Satter-
lee, his son-in-law,- and members Of
his family at the bedside, Mr.. Nor
gan tried to speak but contraction Of
the throat followed.
Couldn't AssimiIate Food.
Morgan's death was directly due
to lack of nourishment. From last
Sunday the doctors could not induce
the patient to eat because Of the lack
of functional vitality in the nerve cen-
ters. The refusal of the throat mus
cles to do their duty made it i'm
possible for Morgan to swallow. The
doctors resorted to feeding by injec-
ton, but expressed the fear that such
liquid food as could be administered
in that way would not keep him up
long.
He had no illness and suffered no
pain, but wasted away simply because
his body was incapable of nourishing
itself by reason Of the inactivity OF
the nervous system.
