    VIENNA, Oct. 22.— A telegram from Sofia received here says that over a quarter of a million troops are now engaged in a great battle before Kirk-Kilisseh, near Adrianople, 120,000 Bulgarians attempting to dislodge 140,000 Turks from their strong positions.
    Up to the present, says this dispatch, the Bulgarians have lost 2,000 killed and 4,000 wounded.
    Euxinograd Castle, on the Black Sea, the Bulgarian King's beautiful Summer residence, which was built by King Ferdinand's predecessor, Prince Alex-arider of Battenberg, was entirely destroyed by the Turkish fleet's artillery fire yesterday. The Bulgarian port of Kavarna was also badly damaged by the bombardment.
