which they had carefully sown and cultivated after

1t IS not TO be denied however, and unfortunately
must acknowledge 1t, that villages such Otiouk-

by the peasant volunteers from the neghb0rhood.

The Mussuiman population, repeat 1t, knew before

legitimate defence, tnought OF one thing only, the
safety Of the country and tho preservation OF
public order. The Bu!gsrians, who were considered
by them like brothers. and with whom they lived in
perfect harmony Tor many years, suddenly declare
themselves their bitter enemies, act toward them
with tho greatest brutality, and, later, bodli
confess that their object to kill them all. Is 1t
strange alter that tha; there should still remain the
hearts OF those people q feeling OF hatred dstrust

No one, except The rclentles enemies of this conn

Here 1t must be SAID that the attitude of the Bulgar-
ian criminals before the mixed courts, Is not
such as to inspire tho Mussuimans with
ANY confidence. Their confessions, and
the ovcrbearing manner with which they
revealed th.ir plans, show neither repentance nor
regrets; but, fortunately, It is known how much the
entre Bulgarian nation dlsavows that language, and
blancs that naughty behavior which provoke the
