BULGARIAN ouTRAGEs.
LONDON, August 23.-A special from
Bucharest's correspondent Of the Daily
Ners, who accompanied Schuyler in his
tour Of investigation, says Barring report
OF the sixty villages burned and 10000
persons killed by the Turks in Bulgaria,
does not include the outrages Committed
in the district north OF the Balkan nor in
the district Of Saphia; 40 villages were
burned north OF the Balkans and 70 south.
Schuyley has not completed this investi.
cation, but he. estimates the number. .oi
killed at 10000 in the district OF Philip
popalis alone. The regular troops are
more cruel than Bashi Bazouk's. No
doubt the massacres were committed
with the sanction Of the authorities. The
Governor Of Philippopalis wants the
cavalry to quell the MusSelmans.
Schuyler thinks there is immediate
danger Of additional massacres. He will
suggest to his government the following
measures: The hanging Of the four
leaders in these atrocities; the disarming
Of the Musslemans, and the rebuilding Of
the burnt villages at the expense Of the
government. As these measures cannot
be left to the authorities, Schuyler will
propose to the foreign commission to sec
that they are executed.
