Bulgarians Defeated in Battle With Greeks

LONDON, March 12. - A Saloniki dispatch to the Times gives further details of the fighting at Nighrita between the Bulgarians and Greeks over the possession of that town. The fighting, which began on Wednesday, March 5, continued on Thursday and Friday. But on Friday night the Bulgarians retreated across the Karasu river. They were followed by four companies of Greeks, who burned the bridges. The Bulgarians then hoisted the white flag.

The Greek losses are reported as fifteen killed and forty wounded. One hundred and twenty Bulgarians were taken prisoners.
