Deal with Austria

,uy cable to The Tribune. J

London, July THE Bulgarians are
now lighting against the Servians and
Greeks along a front extending 30O
miles. but conflicting reports from all
sources make it impossible to state
with any accuracy which belligerents
are gaining the advantage. Beyond
doubt the war is being waged desper-
ately and great areas of the country
are being desolated by the armies.
The Vienna "Reichspost" declares
that the Servians have lost more Off
GERS during the last few days fighting
than in the whole Turkish war. Semi
official statements issued at Belgrade
have the appearance Of an intention
disaster. NumberleSs villages are be-
Ing destroyed for strategic reasons as
the armies advance and retreat. the
inhabitants being left without shelter
or means Of subsistence. Thousands
Of refugees are being provided with
some supplies, but there must he thou
sands more for whom no help is 20 be
found
The trail of war is as bloody as and
more remorseless than that Of the war
which swept the country only a few
months ago.
Evidence Of a deal between Austria
and Bulgaria is becoming clearer every
day. II is now stated that Austria
has arranged bargain between Bull
garia and Rumania by which Bulgaria
is to get Salonica in return for terri
torial concessions TO RLmania.

Belgrade. July 6.-The servian govern
ment has addressed a note to Bulgaria,
formally breaking off diplomatic relations
and announcing the recall OF the Min
lister at Sofia.
The Servian troops have VIGOROUSLY
entered Kotchana. A semi official state
ment, however. describing the military
position after five days fighting, makes
for the first time the admission that the
servian arms have not been so uniformly
successful as was previously represented.
But the claim is made that Seryia has
prevented Bulgaria from executing her
political plan Of gaining by surprise at
tack possession OF the Macedonian terri
tories which she wished TO occupy pend

London. July AFTER ten days of
fighting, more severe and deadly in char
acter than anything in the last Balkan
war. little light begins to break upon
the hitherto obscure operations.
Desperate fighting, with fiuctuating
fortunes. is proceedings along the Var
dar and Bregalinitza rivers, which seems
10 be in favor OF the Bulgarians. I'm
purtant news has been received Of the
Bulgarian invasion Of Seryia through
Belosradchyk, about forty-fve miles
northeast Of Nish, Servia's most impoI
tant fortified town. No indication is Civ
cn Of the strength Of the Bulgarian col
'unn at this point. but the Bulgarians
claim TO have defeated the Servians and
captured five guns and a quantity of
other war material, and by the occupa-
tion Of the passes TO have opened the
road to Nish.
There is heavy fighting also between
the Servians and Bulgarians TO the south
Of Istip and in the neghborhood Of
Kotchana, About 100000 men are en-
gagged, and the losses on both sides APP
pear 10 be terrible
Bulgaria's strategy appears TO be TO
hold the Greeks in check. probably with
comparatively small forces, while she
deals with Servia. This assumption. if
correct, would explain the victorious ad-
vance of the Greek army

Unconhrmed reports credit the Bull
garans with victories near KOprili, giving
them the key to Uskup. and with an out
Aanking movement from the south Of
Tahynos Lake, which would cut off the
Greek retreat.
Salonica dispatches continue 10 report
Greek victories. The Greeks are said TO
have captured sixteen guns at Dorian.
Evidence of desperate fighting is found
IN the arrival Of 5000 wounded at Sa-
ionica. taxing the towns accommodations
and resources TO the uttermost.
A conservative estimate Of the men
killed OR disabled I'm last weeks lighting
fixes the number at from 10000 TO 1900.
Thousands Of destitute refugees from the
scene Of the fighting are pouring into
Salonica.
The Greeks have made wholesale
charges against the Bulgarians of burn
ing and pillagirg all the villages they
abandon and Of committing murders, mu-
tilations and other horrors. More than
400 refugees are concentrated at Nigrita
and adjacent villages.

Dear Miss Fairfax.
I am q and am very much in

me very much and we would
gladly marry, the only objection
being a clause of her father will,
which states that she will lose
her legacy of SO. 600 if she marries
before the age of %. She is will
ing to lose the legacy, but ] can
hardly bring myself to the point
of letting her make the sacrifice.
ANXIOUS.
Her fathers last wish was that she
should not marry under the age of %.
and she must consider that, though
no legacy attached.
The five years of waiting will not
be long if you sincerely love each
other, and I trust you love her so
much you will insist after marriage
that her little fortune remain person
ally hers. and not be dribbled away
