WAR IS PREDICTED Allies' Victory at Tchatalja Regarded as Decisive. ALL EUROPE IS AQUIVER Austria Relieves Fear of General Clash by Agreeing to Join la Transmitting Request for Mediation to Allies. LONDON, Nov. 11. Judging by an precedents in the present war. the news from Constantinople tonight is the her ald of another Turkish defeat at the Tchatalja lines, where a battle has been on for the last two or three days. The Turkish admission that so many wounded are arriving at the capital as to show that the Turks are offering fierce reslstence, has great signifi cance, in view of previous admissions of a similar nature and may be re garded as preparing the public for an other disappointment. It may be quite possible that this will prove the last great battle of the campaign. Balsaria Slay For(v Triumph. -' There are indications that Bulgaria may forego a triumphal entry into Con stantinople. According to some reports Bulgaria will be content with finding suitable Winter quarters for her army. while peace negotiations are going on. The question of mediation has made another step forward in the announce ment from Paris tonight that the Aus trian government has agreed to join with the other powers In transmitting Turkey's request for mediation to the allies and in Inquiring on what terms the allies are disposed to accept medi ation. The revelation of the danger to European peace lying in the antagon Istic interests bf Austria and Servla appears to have quickened the sense of the powers, and probably of the Balkan states also, to the Imperative need of working in amicable co-operation to procure a settlement of the Balkan problems acceptable to alL Winter May Halt War. Another factor making for the speedy cessation of the war is the approach of severe Winter weather, which would give to the campaign an exceedingly arduous character. There is still talk in Vienna of send ing an ultimatum to Servla and other warlike reports, but it is believed Ger many is exercising an ameliorating in fluence in the direction of persuading both Austria and Servla to consent to a postponement of the settlement until the whole matter can be dealt With by the European conference. Diplomacy is active in' all the Euro pean capitals. It Is understood that after his Important mission at Buda I'est is concluded. Dr. Daneff. president of the Bulgarian Chamber of Deputies, will go to the other European courts to explain the views of the allies. Servian Premier Leaves Belgrade. The Servian premier, M. Pa'chitch, after an Important cabinet meeting, left Belgrade tonight for Uskup to con sult with King Peter. The reported mobilization of Austro Hungarlan forces is denied at Buda Pest. Roumania is taking certain mili tary measures with a view to being prepared for eventualities. The war minister has issued an order to all the army commanders that half the con tingent, which was to have been dis missed November 14, be retained with the tolors. No lata news of importance has been received from Adrianople. Scutari,- or other points where the armies of the allies have the Turkish troops in close quarters. The Port of Rodoslov. on the Sea ot Marmora, which the Turkish fleet bom bi ,)ed on Sunday, was reported today fro "Vienna to have been recaptured by the Turks.- This, however, lacks confirmation. Turka Not to Proclaim Holy War. The Turkish authorities, owing to the protest of the foreign Ambassadors, now disclaim any intention of proclaim ing a holy war. They give explanation that the sending of a hundred Moham medan priests to preach to the troops does not really mean a holy war. They say their Intention was to inspire thP Turkish troops with religious fervor. A dispatch from Constantinople pays that In the opinion of European doctors, the disease which has broken out among the wounded Is certainly Ast atic cholera. Several battalions of Servian troops have been re-patriated", apparently on account of. cholera. The dispatch adds that there are 60.000 troops in the neighborhood of Constantinople who have not been engaged In the fighting vet. and as they are better fed. they are likely to give a good account of themselves at the Tchatalja lines. Danger of Maaaacre Leas. The danger of massacre and looting In Constantinople appears to have abated. None of the correspondents of London papers mention it. It is possi ble that the epidemic of cholera Is now causing greater fears, although if the army Is driven into the capital no one can foresee what the disorganized sol diery may attempt. The Daily News correspondent says (Concluded on 2- Appraisers at Port Incensed When French. Dancer's Pearl Are Seen to Be Imitations, Probably. NEW "VORK. Nov. 11.
