    MUSTAPHA PASHA, Nov. 29.— The staff announces the capture yesterday of two divisions of Turks under Taver Pasha, numbering 9,000 men, which have been operating in the region of the Kirjali Mountains.
    It is good proof of the adequacy of Bulgarian military secrecy that the existence of this force was unknown outside of army circles before it was cut off from other forces, isolated, and driven by the surrounding Bulgars to the bank of the Maritza River, where it was compelled to surrender.
    While they were bringing this separate force to bay, the Bulgarians were able to advance their lines on Adrianople. Now they will have additional troops released to aid in the siege.
    Although peace is expected, no official news of it has reached here.
