A Weat series of battles then began, ex- ending Over an area of about -15 miles. The fighting continued for more than 48 ipurs without cessation.

FJ with great..obstinacy, but eventually Save way all along the line and retreat- ed in disorder. The news of the victory was received in Sofia without public rejoicing. “Fears are expressed that in. the hour of tri- umph Bulgaria may now, as in 1885, be deprived of the reward of her: victory. Rumors of the imminence of Austrian and Roumanian mobilization gain ground and no great confidence is felt that the powers of the triple entente will secure fair play for those who risked everything in the cause of freedom. The. importance of ‘the victory, the correspondent says, is fully understood. With the rout of Nazim’s army the cam- paign is believed to be practically over and nothing is now needed but the fall of Adrianople to make the Bulgarian triumph complete. Theré is no confirmation of the report that Nazim Pasha, the Turkish Minister of War and Commander-in-Chief ‘in Thrace, has either been shot or -taken prisoner, but the report received gen- eral credence in Sophia. ⸗ Within a few days momentous de- cisions will be taken by the Powers and the peace of Europe will be at stake. Whether the European concert holds -the ground or breaks up, there is reason to believe that the allied states will hold firm to their program. They already have undergone enormous sac- | rifices apd are prepared to face every eventuality. Wounded Arrive in Thousands. Only those who have been brought into close contact with the terrible real- ities of this war ean estimate the ex- tent of those sacrifices. In: Sofia the } wounded are arriving in thousands. All the larger public and many private {| buildings have been transformed into hospitals. Even at that some have to be laid on the bare floors. The wounded from the last great bat- tle have yet to arrive. How arrange- ments can be made to accommodate them it is hard to say. 3 TURKISH WARSHIP |
