the breaking out of the war with Tur
key, the Bulgarians have captured.
fif% thousand of the enemy, Monte
negrins, fifteen tliousand Servian,
seven thousand. Fifteen thousand
Turks have been killed before Adria
nople, where itlie fighting has been
terrible, and mostly at close quarters,
where most of the dead and woundtd,
bear the marks of the bayoriQ*. So
closely have the contestants been
fighting, that many show powder
burns. The suffering of the wound
ed, is terrible, the engagements be
ing carried on at such close quarters,
that Lt is impossible to care for those
who have fallen. The Turks, can
not hold out much longer, as tJiey
are cut off from all hope of suc
