The Bucharest correspondent of ''The Times" reports that the - Bulgars have suffered heavy fatalities, largely due to the frequency of bayonet charges, for which they have a strong predilection. Many officers of high rank have fallen, including the famous insurgent chief, Tcherngpeeff. The campaign was designed and carried out by General Boyadjeff, Minister of War, and lias won warm German encommms. ' i Berlin and Vienna have dispatched numerous sanitary missions, and a liberal supply of hospital trains, each containing 30 cars, has arrived. Munificent subscriptions have been sent to the Bulgarian Red Cross Society. Germany undertook to pay to Bulgaria the expenses of her campaign, and the objects of the visit of the Bulgarian Minister of Finance, M. Toncheff, to Berlin and Vienna were to obtain 250,000,000 francs and the option of a loan of 500,000,000 francs; also-to arrange for the immediate payment of 250,000,000 francs. Sofia has agreed, apparently acting on instructions from G'ermany, to waive the national claim to Kavalla and Dobrudja, in order to secure the neutrality of Greece and Rumania. Germany has suggested that Bulgaria should acquire and transfer Doiran and Ghevgheli to Greece, and even Monastir, if King Constantine joins the Central Powers. M. Radoslavoff, the Bulgarian Prime Minister, has, it is believed, agreed, but the Government will be compelled to summon the Sobranje to meet on December 28.
