"Th?- Turks have artfully conceal? ed their gun positions and most of their tire is delivered from batteries securely hidden far behind the front "The Turks again attempted a sor? tie today to the eastward. Fighting desperately they strove to pass out by the Turkish cemetery roadway but the Bulgarian gunners and Infantry beat them back into Adrianople. They left rows of dead. The Bulgarians were able to follow the enemy up and move their lines of attack still closer to the ponderous masses of ram I'arts. ba. tlons and trenches.

Bulgaria will renounce entirely . n try into Constantinople. Many persons believe Turkey will yield most points in the hope that Kui ope eventually will undertake (0 reduce the claim.- Ql the allies when pi u e is concluded. Numerous dlAotlltltf remain, how? ever, including the status of the Aegean islandi?. the matter of a Ser? vian port on tile Adriatic, the delim? itation of arc autonomous Albania, the partition of territories; the claims of Itotimanla and the Servian customs administration. Nevertheless it is considered that the situation has become clearer. LOSSES VERY HEAVY. London, Nov. 80.?A Be lgrade dla Datch to The Standard says that in the throe days' lighting at Monastir the losses numbered 20,000, of which 5,000 were Turks. The war spoils were enormous and are estimated to be worth $10,000,000. King Peter, says the dispatch, may make a triumphal entry into Monastir, as the Servians wish to emphasize thtdr occupation. The question as to which State was to possess this city ' was not .ncluded in the allies' conven? tion. Bulgaria may claim it, because it is situated predominantly in the Bulgarian district. The Greeks point out that the lead? ing part of the population is of Greek nationality. Crown Prince Constantine, I with the Greel army, will enter the town. HOLDING OCT. New York.
