This opinion apparently prevails within

Prompt to Begin Battle.

LONDON. February "A terrific bonn
bardment of the forts around Adrianople
was begun last evening by the Bulgar
iaps and Servians surrounding the city to
tine number of over 100000. Almost at
the moment of the conclusion of the
arrnistice at o'clock siege guns and field
guns from various points commanding
the forts opened fire. Not even the resi-
Dental portion of the city was spared.
There is considerable difference OF
opinion as to how long the fortress will
be able to hold out. One dispatch from
Mustapha Pasha today. which reported
that the heavy cannonade continued
throughout the night. concluded with the
prophecy made by the Bulgarian staff
that two weeks would suffice for the be-
scgers to force the Turks 10 capitulate.
