TURKS LOSE DEFENSE LINE OUTSIDE CONSTANTINOPLE (Continued From Pago One.) cupied the town of Drama, the Turkish troops in that, region being scattered in all directions. Most of them are said to have surrendered their arms and are returning to their homes. There is confirmation, too, of the occupation oc-cupation in the west of the Turkish town of Alcssio and the port of San Giovanni di Medua, on the Adriatic sea. Monastir, also, where Bothi Pasha has a large Turkish army under him, is said to have been occupied by the allied Balkan troops, but the report lacks confirmation. Thore arc persistent, reports again that Adrianople bas at; last capitulated. capitula-ted. Say Adrianople Falls. The Daily Mail prints tho following dispatch from its special correspondent at Bucharest, dated S:30 p. m., Thursday: Thurs-day: "I have just arrived from Sofia. 1 have grounds for believing that Adrianople Adri-anople has fallen, but the Bulgarians aro concaling the fact, lost the powers, realizing that a decisive point had been reached, should intervene before the capture of Constantinople. "Extraordinary efforts have been made since Monday to prevent news from getting out. Xo thing has issued from Sofia except commonplaces, and the censorship has been extended to letters. At Bustehuk, on the frontier, the censorship is rigid. ''I understand that the, Adrianople garrison, hopelessly stccl-encirclcd, having hav-ing failed in all of its attempted sorties, sor-ties, offered to surrender on Monday on condition that the garrison might bo permitted to march out with tho honors of war. This was refused and tho bombardment was continued. Tho entire garrison surrendered unconditionally uncondi-tionally on Tuesday. Bulgar Loss Big. . "Meanwhile, with the utmost energy and haste, an overwhelming forco is being concentrated with tho object of destroying the last Turkish army and occupying Constantinople, so that intervention in-tervention by tho powers will follow the accomplished fact. The Bulgarians are determined to possess the capital. All available troops aro being rushed to tho front from Macedonia, including includ-ing the Servian troops. "The Bulgarians' loss hitherto has been enormous. Trains throughout Bulgaria are filled with the least severely se-verely wounded on the way to their homes; but it is felt that all sacrifices will bo repaid by the great final coup.'1 throw of the Turkish rlsht center was the Immediate retreat of th whole southern south-ern Turkish battle front, which had been entrenched In that strong: position. "This retreat began in the forenoon of November 5. The army proceeded generally gen-erally alons the railway line In the direction di-rection of SInckll. while the extreme left wins retired by way of Kttnta. In a relentless re-lentless manner the Bulgarian army, especially tho southern Hanking column, pressed after the enemy and soon transformed trans-formed the retirement of the Turks from an orderly movement into a disorderly flight. "Nazlm Pa'sha's attempt to arrest the Bulgarian pursuit by talcing a rear guard position at Slcmcntl ended on November 5 In a massacre." The last Turkish reserves who had been moved up to this point were unable un-able to stand their ground and the Turks tied in masses toward Tchatalja, pursued pur-sued with great Insistence by the Bulgarians. Bul-garians. The seconil great result of the decisive de-cisive attack of the Third army upon Venekcul, says the correspondent of the Relchpost, was that tho Turks' right wing was completely severed from the main force. It was driven from tho heights east of Istrandla Into the forest region by lakc Dcrkos and cut off from tho center, which likewise had been : beaten by the Bulgarian columns advancing ad-vancing south of Istnidla valley. While vigorously continuing1 the pursuit, pur-suit, the Third armv Is now massed for a direct attack upon the northern wing of tho Tchatalja positions. One column was sent through Onnanll against Dcrkos. |
