The Dally Telegraph’s correspondent sends a vivid description of last Sunday’s battle in Kresna Pass. It was he says really a series of struggles for possession of Isolated mountain peaks. At one spot two opposing companies ran short of ammunition and bombarded each other with stones at a distance of 15 yards a narrow gully. The Bulgarians were reinforced. There were many bloody bayonet charges, until finally the weary, unvvatered, unfed Greek line was driven back. The Greeks lost 2,500 and the Bulgarians 6,000 men. Commenting on an anti-British outburst in some American papers it is explained in London that Britain’s refusal to participate in the Panama Exhibition is due to the Board of Trade failing to induce sufficient manufacturers to incur the expense of preparing and exhibiting. It is the current opinion that there too many World’s Fairs. The refusal to exhibit has nothing to do with the question of the Canal.
