London, Dec. 22. Arrival of a Rus- sian expedition oil the Bulgarian coast is reported by the Athens correspond- ent of the ICxchango Telegraph Com- pany. He says:

"A Russian cruiser and two destroy- ers which are convoying sixteen trans- ports tilled with troops have arrived off the Bulgarian coast, and are bom- barding Varna vigorously."

The Bulgarian port of Varna Is on e Black Sea a few miles south of

the Rumanian border, It is a railroad terminus. This city and Burgas. rHfy miles further south, are the principal Bulgarian Black Sea ports.

On several occasslons since the be- ginning of the Teutonic drive through Serbia it has been reported that the Russians would attempt an invasion of Bulgaria from the sea, and it has been said forces were being concentrated for this purpose at Odessa.

Previous despatches reporting Rus- sian naval demonstrations before Var- na or Burgas presumably preparatory to an effort to land troops were not borne out subsequently.

London, Dec. 22.—When the British forces withdrew from the positions at Suvia Hay and Anzae, on the western shore of the Galllpoli peninsula, their total eausualties were three men wounded, according to an official an- nouncement made this afternoon.

Six guns which were destroyed were left when tho British withdrew from the Suvia position, it was added.

LONDON, PEC. 22.—When the Brit- ish forces withdrew from the positions at Suvia Hay and Anzac,, on the west- ern shore of the Galllpoli peninsula, their total casualties were three men wounded, according to an official an- nouncement made this afternoon.

BKHLIN, DEC. 22.—Via London — A success against the British in an operation near Hulluch on the front In France southwest of Lille, is announc- ed by German army headquarters In today's official statement. On tbe east- ern front a movement by which the Russians were driven from a village before the German lines near Wldsyd- sy, is reported. The statement says:

"Western theatre of war: "I'.ast of Hulluch a German division

captured a British sap and repulsed counter-attacks made during the night. There was lively artillery ac- tion at various points along the front Otherwise no events of ImpOItanie oc- curred.

"Eastern theatre of war: "During the night of December 10-

20, an advanced Russian division bad occupied the village of Dakachl, south- east of Wldsydcy, which Is located near our front. Yesterday the Rus- sians were driven out. South of Lake WigonowlkoJI and near Coscni.howka, northeast of Csartorysk, enemy recon- nuitoring divisions wcro repulsed.

Evidence is now in the bands of 0. S. government officials which tends to show that the German government, through its secret ageil, Franz von Hintelen, spent huge sums of money in an attempt to emproil the United States and Mexico.

Von Hintelen is now held by the English government as n German spy. A careful search of bis baggage brought to light several letters from promi- nent society women in this country, and the Information gleaned from these letters has materially aided tho British secret service agents iu this county.

Von Hintelen is now in tbe Tower of London awaiting execution, lie has such a fund of valuable information that his deatli has been postponed from time to time in the hope that be would confess to save bis life. But he has stood lii'tu and says that he isn't afraid to die.

The dear boys refer to some of the Ayden people becoming violent- ly exercised' over the matter, and we cannot well determine the nature of the violent exercise, unless it was that some indulged iu a little violent exer- cise of laughter over the project. But as the project Is not such a bad one, suppose the dear Free I'ress call a special meeting of the Legislature, and several Mass Hidings, and prob- ably the desired localities will be an- nexed to the county of I.enoir by an overwhelming majority."
