London, Nov. 20.- Altho no of ficial cnu ilrmal Ion has been re ceived of the report that the Bul garians have captured Monasttr, in southwest Sd'hia, little hopo Is felt iii Kiigland that the announce ment Is premature. Accepting It as true tho Impression Is grow ing that the allies arrived too late lo give any service to the Ser bians. The Serbian military situation Is growing from bad to worse. In the north the main Serbian ar mies are giving way slowly boforo the battering Aiistio-Gerinnn forc ch, which probably would movo more rapidly jf weather conditions were better. It Is established Hint the Bulgarians fire In Perlepe and have made Monusllr untena ble. The Anglo French armies based at Salonikl seem to do nn mom than hold lliolr position. Optimistic feeling in regard to the diplomatic, situation In Greece still porslsls In KngUnd. Tho reason for I Ills optltiilntn seems to be obscure. DRAMATIC DETAILS OF THE ANCONA SINKING .New York.

The MariulH of Lansdownn an nounced the government asked Karl Kitchener to visit the eastern Medit erranean because, In Its opinion, tho report of Sir Charles Monro and tho evidence accompanying It. did not seem siinicleni to enable government to coiiie lo a conclusion upon the great ciiosllon of policy Involved. The announcement of the Marqnl: of Laiisdowne was nnVde In response lo Baron ItlhhleHilale question wheth er General Monro favored the with drawal of the British army from tho Dardanelles. Karl Kitchener was re ported as leaving Mudros for the Gal llpoll peninsula.

The independence of Serbia, he de clared, was one of tho most essential objects the alllo hud In view in Hie near east, which already had be come a new and very Important thea tre of war. This was not the time to talk pein e. They had entered upon a great Hi niggle sod Intended to car ry It to a successful Issue. The situation In Greece, said Ixird Laiisdowne, was extremely perplexing and, he might add, disquieting. This was In reply lo a request for Infor mation as to the progress of negotiations.
