says Baring's report OF sixty villages
burned and l2,OOOSaople killed in Bul,
garia does not incIudVthe outrages COM
mitted in the district north of the Balk.
ans, nor IN the district of Sophia. Forty
villages were burned north of the Balkan
mountains and 20 south. Schuyler has
not completed his investigation, hut esIi-
mates the number killed at 10000 in the
district of Phillopolis alone. The reg
ular troops were more cruel than the
Bashi Bazouks. No doubt the massacres
were committed with the sanction of the
authorities. The outrages still continue
TO occur and the government of Phiiopo-
lis wants cavalry to quell the Musselmcn.
Schuyler thinks there is immediate dan
ger of additional massacres, and will sug.
gest TO his government the following
measures The hanging Of four leaders
in these atrocities; the disarming of
Musclmen, and the rebuilding of the
burned villages at government expense,
for these measures cannot be lett TO the
authorities. Schuyler will propose for
eign commission to see that they are
executed.
