    CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 5.— The Grand Vizier, Mahmud Shafket Pasha, who left the capital this morning, visited Hademkeui and returned here to-night. He reported that the Bulgarians burned Izzendenkeui and other villages, afterward withdrawing from Tchatalja. The following official dispatch has just been issued :

    The enemy, part of whose forces are concentrated in the vicinity of Gallipoli, sent a regiment on Tuesday from Kadikeui to Kavak, where one of our detachments is stationed. An engagement ensued, lasting until evening, and terminating to our advantage.
    When night fell, in accordance with a previous arrangement, the bulk of our troops withdrew toward Bulair, but the enemy was unable to pursue them.
    Another force of the enemy advanced and occupied Myriophyto, on the coast of the Sea of Marmora, which was defended only by a few gendarmes.
    The sloop Zea has inflicted serious losses on a force of the enemy advancing in the direction of Charkeui, (to the south of Myriophyto.) This force was unable to-day to advance beyond Xamilo.

    Apart from an hour's cannonading by the Bulgarians on Monday evening, at the time of the termination of the armistice, to which the Turks did not respond, no further aggressive acts of war are reported at the Tchatalja fortifications. On the other hand the reports of the retreat of the Bulgarian right wing and the burning of the town of Tchatalja are confirmed from various sources.
    The object of the retirement of the Bulgarians apparently is to occupy lines further to the north and west in order to defeat any flanking movement which the superior Turkish mobility, thanks to the Turks' command of the Black Sea, might permit. The Bulgarians are reported to have destroyed the bridges and culverts as they retreated, and otherwise to have made the railway unserviceable.
    The bombardment of Adrianople by the Bulgarians and Servians has thus far  not proved very disastrous to the city. Eight inhabitants had been killed up to this morning and fifty private houses had been set on fire.
    Shukri Pasha, the commander-in-chief at Adrianople, reported by wireless telegraphy to the War Office to-day:

    The enemy are bombarding us. One hundred and thirty-eight cannon shells and eleven shrapnel have fallen in the city, killing eight persons and wounding ten. A number of houses are in flames. The bombardment continues.

May Sell Turkish Crown Jewels.
    Reports have been current for some time that the Turkish Government purposes selling come or the crown jewels in order to supplement public subscriptions in aid of the Imperial Treasury. These reports have acquired some substantiation owing to the presence in Constantinople of a representative of some prominent French jewelers.
