TURKISH BARBARITIEs
LONDON, August pa special from
the Bucharest correspondent of the
Daily Ne,OS, who accompanied Mr..
Schuyler in his tour of investigation,
says that Baripg's report OF sixty viii
lagos burned and twelve thousand per-
sons killed by the Turks in Bulgaria
does not include the outrages COM
mitted in the district lying north Of the
B ,lkan mountains, nOr in the district
of Sophia. Ferry villages were burned
north of Balkan, and seventy south.
Schuyler has not completed his investi
cation, but he estimates the number OF
killed at six thousand in the district OF
PniIippopolis alone. The regular troops
are more cruel than the B9shi Bazouks.
No doub. the massscres were committed
With the sanction of the authorities.
Outrages continue to occur. The gov
ernor Of Philippopolis wants cavalry to
quells them. Schuyler thinks there is
Immediate danger Of additional massa-
res. He will suggest to his government
the following measures: The hanging
Of the four leaders in these atrocities,
the disarming of the Mussulmans and
the rebuilding of the burnt villages at
the expense OF the government. AS
these meas ures cannot be left to the au-
thorities, Schuyler will propose to the
foreign commission to see tnat they be
executed.

sand men, which force is sufficient for
an attack on AleXinatZ Ganeral Tcher-
nayeff having seventy-nine thousand
