A correspondence Kafabunar writes
appalling of the misery OF fu-
gitives from the districts devastated by
the Bashi Bazouks and the Bulgarians.
Thousands of women and children are
homeless and perisbing Tor want OF
shelter, medical attendance and food.
Immediate help is most sorely needed.
1t is proposed TO distribute the fugi-
tives about Constantinople, Adrianople
and Philloppolis. The correspondent
suggests the formation of a city of
refuge on an Island near CONSTANT.
nople under the protection of a neutral
flag, and a neutral guarantee from the
belligerents. The crops are rotting in
the ground, and no provision is made
for winter. The correspondent speaks
favorably of the Turkish regulars, bat
severely blames the Government for
employing or not controlling their ir-
regulars, who commit the most ex-
cesses; even the fugitive women and
children who came for protection to
the Turks have to be guarded by reg.

gether again in the disturbed DISTRICTS:
even Russian sympathisers severely
condemn the Russians conduct in
first instigating the Bulgarians to re-
volt, and then leaving them to the
mercy of the Turks, whose right to
treat them as rebels is hard to ques-
ton.
NEW YORK, August Is.
The Turkish Legation complaius of

flag of truce, and wounding Osinan
Efpndi. Twelve unarmed Mussul-
mans. Of the village of Sou koulou,
neal Eski Sagra, surrendered to the
Russians, and seven Of them were

exclusively Mohammedan, in the dis
trict of Si>tova, 100 houses were burned

1t is believed that only seven inhabit-
ants survived. At Balovan. a Mus
sulman village in the district of

were burned and 100 men and
200 women persisted; one person

200 men and 800 women persisted, only
two PERSONS escaping. At k@siambal,
$50 houses were burned snd 900 men
and 800 women persisted. At Chems,

concludes, from Information received,
that the Russians have adopted a uni
form system TO try to seize defenseless
villages. and after destroying them
with cannon shot, to massacre the I'M
armed inhabitants and carry off the
women for the purpose of o~utraging
their persons. The Russians threaten
the Christian villages with the same
fate if they do not surrender, or if their
inhabitants refuse to be enrolled.
LONDON, August Is.
A Bucharest correspondent tele-
graphs: l have written the following
ash received it, and from the terrible
accounts which fugitives continually
bring over the Balkans, l fear
it must be too true. On July
3lst, the day of the Russian
evacuation of E>ki Sagra, the Turks
ordered that all the Christians men,
women and children, should be shot
as they left their houses, and those
who remained within were burned
alive. An order was given to
burn down and destroy every par
ticle of Christian property; many lead
ing Turkish merchants took part in
the affair. The Turks dispatched a
large number of Bashi Bazouks all
over Tchirpan District. This district
is one OF the richest in that part OF
Turkey. 1t contains a very large pro-
portion of Christians. Over thirty
churches and 500 schools and colleges,
all of which have been burned. The
destruction extended to the villa ges OF
Boghdan, Mabelsi, RAM, and many
others, in all about 90, containing from
$50 to 200 families each, and scarcely
80 persons escaped alive. The Bull
garian fugitives at Gabrova and Sew
estimated that from 1900 to l,50C
Christians have been massacred IN
Eski Sagra and T%chirpan Districts
alone. Soldiers were posted along the
road from Eski Sagra to Kezanlik
with orders to shoot everybody pass.

There Is intense dissatisfaction ovei
