LONDON, August 2S,-The Times this
morning has M editorial on the Bclga-
rian atrocities, which concludes rs fol-
lows; "Mr, Bareng's report, and the
testimony Of other official witnesses,
will have much practical value during
the Investigation which must follow at
the close Of the Servian war;. They will
give this country n good opportunity
Of clearly defining the position 1t holds
with respect, both to Turkey and the
great powers. 1t has been said that
the Turkish ministers are careless of
English remonstrances, because they
think that England will and must sup
port Turkey, however ilagrantly she
may be misled, aud hence it is agreed
that she is indirectly accountable for
Bulgarian massacres, but il is difficult
to believe that SO baseless
an idea can mslead the shrewd men
who direct the Turkish empire. They
know little Of this country If they
think il could condone such atrocities
as those Of Bulgravia. Like some
other States, il has interest in Turkey
and ii would be desirable to see her
strong, but she can't be strong with
out being well governed, and she will
never be well governed until she has
revised many parts Of her present sys-
tenn. Turkish misrule means weak
ness, recurring rebellion and foreign
war, and foreign war carries with IL
menace to the whole OF Europe. This
country will be ready to join other
States in devising such reforms as
will protect the christian part Of popu'
lace without regarding the convent
enees of the Porte.

Preliminary reports of the investiga-
ton of The outrages in Bulgaria, ad-
dressed to the minister of the United
States at Constantinople, fully confirm
the worst that has been told of atroci-
ties. Mr.. Schuyler found that much
of the slaughter was done by the regu-
lar Turkish soldiers, and he denounces
the report of the Turkish Commissions
er concerning these 0utrages as mass
Of false reports. He declares that
sixty-fve villages were burned in
these districts and fifteen thousand
men, women and children killed.
Schuyler continues his investigation.
