dSCepleH, the knotty part as 10 the distance 10
which the forces shall retire, Continues 70 be

such solution are so great that many forsigT,

English journals characterize the PROPOSAL as

The Times however, believes that the prin

Anarchy i'm Bulgaria.
LONDON, April 2i.-The Times hopes that the
present condition of Bulgaria may make Rus
Sla more ready to leave TO Europe the task the
dlfnculiy of which seems SO far only TO have
been enhanced by the overthrow Of Turkish
power. Ine situation in Bulgaria is regarded
as very SlSnlhcant, and some papers believe
mat III may accelerate the course of negotla-
lions. III Is manifest that the Bulgarians ara
taking terrible revenge for the Turkish ont.
RACES of 1876, and the whole country NAV fan
again INTO a condition of anarchy, rapine and
bloodthlrSty repriSalS. The MuSSulmen are
goaded TO despair by the tyranny of their for
mer victims. The country is full of refugees
from the scattered armies and diSOanded gar
rlSOnS oi the Turks. These form nucleus of
lnSurrectlon, and they are Joined by the inhab-
ItantS OF MuSSulman villages to carry on a
guerrilla warfare against the native Chris
lahS ana Kdslan troops: Thus though peace
relgns IN Bulgaria, as il did before the war
lhe insurgents are not fighting for Turkey or
against Russia; but, as they say. are fighting
only Tor their own lives and honor The Rus
sian troops are the only organized force IN the
country, and the work of repression of the
disturbances falls on them.
Regarding the situation, the Times, i'm its
leading editorial article, says: while Europe
Is negotiating about securing the blessings of
peace and freedom TO the eastern lands Chris
uanS and MuSSulmen in Bulgaria are fiying
at each others thrOatS. The whole cOunrrV
south OF the Balkans, notwithstanding the
presence OF the Russian army, is i'm the cOndi-
ton which shocked Europe and cOnyulsed
England two years ago. RnsSia, for the mo-
ment, seems as pOwerleSs as Turkey was. and
il is time Europe should again attempt 10 do
collectively what no single power can do
alone"
