SIGNIFICANT SILENCE.

STRENGTH OF THE- OPPOSING ARMIES, ~ BULGARIAN PLANS, j London, October 30. The significant silence on both, sides in i relation to the real situation at AdriaDople, coupled with the detention, Of the First Bulgarian Army there, is interpret, ed in some circles to mean that an ttiS.Miccessful attack was delivered. Moreover, the fact of the Bulgarians suddenly mobilising the rest of their reserves is mented on. ■ . i.. i :; ■ : Tho strength' of the Second Bulgarian Army operating beyond Kirk Kilisse is estimated atjfdur divisions, oT which the doltimns , moving parallel to the coast towards Constantinople consist of cavalry, supported by a mixed detachment. Their purpose is to menace the capital, fceep Nazim Pasha (Turkish Commandex-in*-Chief) on the defensive, and free the Pirst Army from unwelcome attentions while the attack on Adrianople is again being pressed home* " It is surmised that a division and a half of Turks from Krrk Kilisse have reached Adrianople, leaving.behind only a force .whose remnant the Bulgarians are. noiv pursuing. If this is so, tne ' Turks at Adrianople, numbet 50,000. Nazim Pasha's troops, apart from those at Adrianople, number 2.20,000; ' '. , ~• As Adrianople. is short of fobd, Pfazim Pasha has. possibly begun to march thither to relieve the garrison, especially' as the Greeks have captured Grevena, placing the Turkish army m Epirus between two fires. . : .'
