    CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 11, (10 P.M.)—The Bulgarians began an attack on the Turkish advanced positions along the Tchatalja line yesterday afternoon. The fighting continued throughout to-day.
    Judging from the number of wounded arriving in Constantinople, the Turkish troops are offering fierce resistance.
    The Porte to-night sent a note by telegraph to the Turkish representatives abroad, inquiring what progress had been made with respect to obtaining the conditions of the Balkan States in the matter of an armistice.
    The Porte is still without a reply to its recent appeal to the powers.
    The number of wounded soldiers reaching the capital is increasing to such an extent that the War Office has decided to send contingents to Brusa, Asia Minor.
    Every possible accommodation in the capital is being utilized for the care of the wounded. Several warehouses, a wing of the barracks, and other buildings have been transformed into hospitals, and two large hospitals in the suburb of Kadikeui were opened today. The Unionist and other political clubs, temporarily closed by order of the Government, have also been converted into hospitals.
    An official bulletin says that in the past twenty-four hours six new cases of cholera, with two deaths, have occurred among the refugees. The usual sanitary and quarantine measures are being applied to shipping leaving Constantinople.
    The sanitary situation of the Turkish troops at Hademkeui is deplorable. One hundred cases of cholera, of which fifty have resulted fatally, are reported among the soldiers.
    It is reported that cholera has appeared among the Bulgarian troops.
