Full power to declare the resump- \tion of hostilities against Turkey was \€elegraphed to Dr. S. Daneff, leader jof the Bulgarian delegation, and his jcoleagues by the Bulgarian premier | |J. S. Guechot, who told them to exer jeige it whenever in their opinion tur | {ther peace negotiations became use | Jess. | | The representatives of the Balkan! allies will therefore directly notify | \General Savoff, the Bulgarian com- | mander-in-chief, that the armistice has | {oome to an end as soon as it becomes {apparent that there is no hope of the peace plenipotentiaries reaching a2 mu tually satisfactory arrangement. Hos tilities will then commence four days afterward. Misled as to Adrianopie. The Bulgarians new have discovered | that they have been completely misled im regard to the conditions prevailing | in the beleaguered Turkish fortress ot | |Adrianople and consequently have de | leided that a prompt change in their | policy is necessary. Two weeks ago they were informed that the fall of the fortress could be ‘expected hourly, but a recent council jer war, held at Mustapha Pasha, un- der the presidency of King Ferdinand, | eame to the conclusion that Shukri|} Pasha, the Turkish commander in| Adrianople, had been able to econo | mize the supplies in the fortress ta | such an extent that the garrison} might be able to resist for several months. Shukri Pasha, it appears, deluded ithe Bulgarians by means of false re | Ports spread by supposed deserters ‘who reached the Bulgarian lines (@rawn around the city.
