(Reuter's Telegrams.)
London, December 12. The Times this morning states that Russia, Austria, and Germany have agreed to abandon the demand recently formulated by them for 'the restoration of the status quo ante in the Balkan Peninsula. December 13. Both Bulgaria and Servia have invoked the aid of 'the European Powers with a view of effecting a settlement of hostilities between the two countries, and the Powers have appointed commissioners to demarcate a zone dividing their territories, and to arrange for a four weeks' armistice. Despite this, however, King Milan reports officially to "the Powers that Bulgarian troops made an attack on Servian outposts yesterday. The account of the engagement further states that after severe fighting the Servians dislodged the Bulgarians from their position at Velikizvor, killing and wounding many of their number.
