Show FORCES ADVANCING. London, Oct. IS. Turkish and Bulgarian Bul-garian forces are both advancing to-ay to-ay and it thought probable they will meet somewhere In the vicinity ot Mustapha Pasha, one of the few passes pass-es through the mountains leadiug from Bulgaria to Macedonia. At the same time the Servian arm is on tho way lo Uskup, whore another big battlo is expected. A report has rcae'iod hero from VI . enna that the Montenegrin army suffered suf-fered a bad defeat at Podgontza on Montenegrin territory loda. Military authorities express their belief that the Montenegrins have been checked both to the north and eouta of Lnlo Scutari, or that thoy have found it ncccssar.v to give their men a rest after the hard and continuous fighting In which the have been engaged since tho outbreak of hostilities. It Is also likely that a delay in their ad-, vance has been necessitated b the lack of ammunition and provisions i which the primitive transport of the Montegrln troops has been unable to keep up to the requirement of the army -in the field. Notification that Bulgaria, Sorvia and Greece had declared war against Turkey was given to the British foreign for-eign office today bj the representatives representa-tives of those countries. They handed hand-ed to the foreign secretary copies of the notes which had been dispatched to Constantinople. The only formality now Inching Is the declaration or war by Turkoy against Greece, which the Ottooman government has appeared reluctant to do. This llltle detail, however, is not delaying the movements or the vari-, ous armies. |
