SITUATION" IX .MACEDONIA. .London, Nov. iO. •Salonika's latest news ol the Serbian army is almost alarming. The Bulgarians, considerably reinforced, at'cmptcd a flanking moveinent westward of .Babouna Pass from the Totovo region, tlireatening Prilep and thus eventually Monastir, and it is reported that the French were compelled to retire at two points near Gradskc. It is evident that the situation in 'Macedonia is developing rapidly and requires urgent counter measures. The rorcign diplomatists in Serbia art' proceeding to Scutari instead of to Monastir.
