LOSSES OF WEEK TO TOTAL
BETWEEN 10000 AND 100000.

London, July 8.-After 10 days of
lighting, more severe and deadly in
character than anything in the last
Balkan war, a little light begins to
break upon the hitherto obscure OPP
Srations. ...n \
In the first place. the Servlans have
lost more men thar in the whole pre-
vious campaign and the semiofflcial
statements issued at Belgrade have the
appearance of an intention to prepare
the public for news of a disaster. ..-5.
desperate fighting, with varying for
tunes, is proceeding along the Vandar
and B~regalinitZa rivers, which seems
to be in favor of the Bulgarians. I'M
portant news has been received of the
Bulgarian invasion of Servia through
Belogradichak, about as miles north
east of Nish, Servia's most important
fortified town. No indication is given
Of the strength of the Bulgarian column
at this point but the Bulgarians claim
to have defeated the Servians and
captured five guns n q quantity or
other war material n by the occu-
patton of the passes, to have opened
the road to Nish.
There is heavy fighting also be-
tween the SeRvians and Bulgarians to
the south Of Istip and in the neighbor-
hoOd Of Kotchana. About 200, 900 men
are engaged and the losses on both
sides ppear to be terrible.
Bulgarian strategy appears to be to
hold the Greeks in check. probably
with comparatively small forces. while
she deals with Servia. This assump-
tion, If correct, would explain the VIC
torious advance OF the Greek army.
A conservative estimate of the killed
or wounded in last weeks fighting
fixes the number at from 10000 to 40
900: Thousands of destitute refugees
from the scene Of lighting are pouring
into Saloniki.
The Greeks made wholesale charges
against the Bulgarians of burning and
pillaging all the villages they aban-
1oned of committing murders, mutila-
tons and other horrors More than,
1000 refugees are concentrated at Nj
grita and adjacent villages.
