A letter in the Meme Wiener Tag
|biatt from the Russian headquar-
ters Of the army Of the Danube
says that the car is very indignant
at the conduct Of the B~ulgarians.
1t was expected that after the Rus
slams had crossed the Danube they
would have been able to organize
a Bulgarian army, the cadres of
which had already been prepared
in Bessarabia. This project has
proved quite impracticable. Alevy
of 10000 Bulgarians was ordered
some time ago, but hitherto it has
not been found possible to collect
more than 1000 recruits in the
country, for the able-bodied Bulga-
rians have all fled to the districts
occupied by the Turks. The col
lection of taxes from the Bulgari-
ans has proved almost equally diff
tcult; it is scarcely possible for the
Russian authorities to obtain pay
ment of taxes from a Bulgarian ex-
cept by selling his goods. But
what most diSgusts the Russians
with the conduct of the Bulgarians
is that these people take every OPP
portunlty of serving the Turkish
generals. They are constantly be-
traying their "liberators," and the
Russians ascribe many of the re-
verses to the treachery of the Bull
garian informers. The car is said
to have exclaimed on hearing of,
several instances of Bulgarian faith
lessness. "These men are without
feeling or conscience, aud do not
deserve hat we should shed our
blood for them.n
