The Populace of the Capital of Eastern
Roumelia Depose the Government, and
Proclaim a Union with Bulgaria-Russia
and Austria Credited with Originating
the Rebellion.
LONDON, Sept. 21.-Dispatches from
Philippopolis, the capital of Eastern
Roumelia. state that the entire populace has
risen in rebellion, deposed the Government
imprisoned the Governor General and pro-
claimed union with Bulgaria. The up
rising was attended with no bloodshed.
Immediately after the revolt a provisional
Government was established. The militia
then took the oath of allegiance TO Prince
Alexander of Bulgaria. The insurgents next
seized all the strategic points on the Turk
ish frontier and blew UP the bridges likely
to be used by force advancing from Tur-
key to rehabitate the deposed Government.
They have also destroyed all telegra phic
communication with Turkey The Bulgar-
ian army has been modified and corps
cent to the Roumelian frontier
The rebellion grew out Of the fong-con-
tinued exactions and expressions of the
Government of the Porte. Added to this
was the great dissatisfaction felt at the per-
sonal rule of the Governor-General.
Prince Alexander, of Bulgaria, has con-
6rmed NJ. Strausky as Provisional Cover
nor of Roumelia. The Bulgarian Chamber
of Deputies will be convoked on Thursday
next. The army of Bulgaria is being
modified, and when united with the Rou-
melian military, will, it is estimated, form
an effective force of $4,000 men. Russian
officers command the bulk of the Roumelian
militia. Bands of Bulgarians, under the
command of Russian officers, are entering
Roumelia.
Adyices from Berlin and Vienna favor
the opinion that peace will be maintained
on the ground that the revolution was con-
certed in st. Petersburg, with the assent
of Austria, under an agreement made at the
Kremsir interview, according to the terms
of which Austria is at liberty to annex
Bosnia and Herzegovina. If the Porte
should threaten to adopt violent measures
Russia, it is said, will intervene in favor of
Roumelia.
The Daily Nelos reminds its readers that
when Disraeli effected the Berlin treaty
Gladstone predicted the present disruption.
Even the present Ministry, the NetUs says,
will hardly venture to use England's influ-
ence to crush the growth of liberty in Rou-
melia.
PHnIPPoPoLIs, Sept. 21.-Prince Alex
an6er has issued proclamation announc-
ing that in accordance with the wishes of
the entire populace he assumes sovereignty
over the two provinces of North and South
Bulgaria. Measures will be taken to pre-
serve peace, and all who oppose the new
Government will be severely punished.
The Prince expresses the hope that the peo-
pie will defend the union at any sacrifice
The proclamation, which was received here
by telegraph, was read publicly amid the
greatest enthusiasm. Prince Alexander is
expected here hourly. The populace is
armed with lances, but perfect order pre-
walls. The depoSed Governor, Gabriel
Pasha, is under guard. He is we'll treated,
in accordance with his rank.
The Turkish and Greek portion of the in
habitants have thanked the Government
here for having taken measures for their
defense, and have offered their services in
resisting Turkish invasion.
CoNSTANTINoPLE, Sept. 21.-A council
of Ministers was held yesterday, presided
over by the Sultan at which it was decided
to appeal to the powers to maintain the
rights of the Porte in Roumelia. Orders
have been issued to collect an army corps
at Adrianople.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept 21.-It is hoped
in court circles here that the signatory pow
ers of the Berlin treaty will settle the Rou-
melian troubles amicably, keeping in sight
the just grievances of the people. Austria,
it is thought will probably annex Bosnia
and Herzegovina.
Eastern Roumelia was created by the con-
gress of Berlin in 1878 and was given an
autonomic Government, although forming an
integral part of the Turkish Empire. The
Governor General was appointed by the
Porte, subject to the approval of the treaty
powers
