Reports Adrianople's Fall.

New York Times 100 years ago today, November 8, 1912:
Charles E. Hands Says the Bulgarians Are Concealing the Fact.

    BUCHAREST, Nov. 7.— I have just arrived from Sofia. I have grounds for believing that Adrianople has fallen, but that the Bulgarians are concealing the fact lest the powers, realizing that a decisive point has been reached in the war, should intervene before the capture of Constantinople.
    Extraordinary endeavors have been made since Monday to prevent news from getting out. Nothing has been issued officially at Sofia except banalities.
    The censorship is extended to all letters. At Rustchuk, on the frontier, the censorship is rigid.
    I understand that the Adrianople garrison, hopelessly steel-encircled, having failed in its attempted sorties, offered to surrender on Monday on the condition that the garrison might march out with the honors of war. This was refused, and the bombardment continued. The entire garrison surrendered unconditionally on Tuesday.
    Meanwhile, with the utmost energy and haste, an overwhelming force is being concentrated with the object of destroying the last Turkish Army and occupying Constantinople, so that intervention by the powers will follow the accomplished fact.
    The Bulgarians are determined to possess the capital. All the available troops are being rushed to the front from Macedonia, including Servian troops.
    The Bulgarian losses hitherto have been enormous. Trains throughout Bulgaria are filled with the least severely wounded, who are being sent to their homes, but all the sacrifices are well repaid by the great final coup.
