Meantime diplomats have made no atop forward since ihe resumption of hostilities ami the ports has made no farther communication either to the powers Of the allies. Should it tum out that Adrlanople can resist for ans < onsld< raid.- time, diplomatic negotiations aro likely t.? remain at a standstill, although In the European < ipit.iis a settlement by diplomacy rather than by arms is still hope.I for.

Otherwise toe foreign consuls there would have con? sidered it necessary to ask their am? bassadors to secure an escort for their foreign residents of the city who de ?ir? to pass through the mines, or protection for those who remain with? in the gates. Shukrl Pasha, the Turkish com? mander who is defending Adrlanople, Is one of the most determined officers of the Ottoman army. He has de? clared that lie will not surrender the fortress until the last of his soldiers has been killed. While there have been some deser? tions from the ranks of the garrison, *hese have been chiefly Christian sol? diers serving with Turkish regiments. Shukrl Pasha still has some lo.OOO men. a number Which is considered quite sufficient to man the forts and hold ;it bay the much greater besieg nig force. The Bulgarians are said to have 560,000 no n in the province of Thrace, 46,000 Servians and a few di? vision* of Greeks assisting them. The greater part of this force is oompelb d to remain in front of T? li it ill i and at Qalllpoll, in order to hohi tin- Turkish armies concentrated at those places, it is possible the al? lies may attack both these positions. Tio winter season is so unfavorable for offensive operations that the allies may decide to let the Turks make tie tifsl toove from Tchatalja. The Ottoman army ;<t Tchatalja has greatly Improved during the armistice The soldiers nre better armed than they were, sickness among them has diminished, supplies have been brought up in great quantities ami fresh troops now man the tsiing of powerful forts.

With Southern Portion of Tchatalja Zone Little Better Than Morass Annies Can Not Meet. Constantinople, Feb. 4.?The Bul? garians,, according to reports received tonight, are retiring from the burn? ing Village Of Tchatalja .especially on the left wing. This is regarded as a strategical movement, possibly with the idea of drawing the Turks into the offensive. The belief is held among military experts her? that no serious opera tions are to be expected at Tchatalja for the present. The condition of the southern portion of the sone between the lines of the belligerents Is such as to render the movement of men Impossible. it is little better than a morass. Only on the higher ground in the northern region can the armies come Into contact, and it seems im? probable that either side will indulge In an attack in force. it Is supposed that the Bulgarians denounced the armistice nut on ac? count of the failure of negotiations, but because they expected Adrianople would tie obliged to surrender within a few days, and an armistice still in operation might have embarrassed their liberty of action. According to the best Information the fortress will be abb- to resist for a long time. Much hj expected by Competent ob? servers of the new h.d, which now is at the head of both military and civil administrations-. burning to avenge the earlier defeats, and the enterprise and daring of nu n like Enver Bey, now for the tir-i time given a chance, it i.= believed, may Burprise tin- allies. The new grand vi'/ler, Mahmoud Pchefkel Pasha, already is showing the organizing nualitb i which won him renown, and gives many hours a day to superintending In person the military arrangements.

Forty now Servian seven-inch guns are bombarding Ad rianople, says a dispatch to The Daily Mail from Belgrade. Fugitives from that town say there still arc com? paratively large quantities of food in Adrlanople and few medical neces? saries. A Bulgarian aeroplane yesterday dropped proclamation! into Adrlan? ople inviting the surrender ??f the town. The Constantinople correspondent Of The Tinos says all attempt! to raise a foreign loan have failed.
