MATCHING OF THE CONSPIRACY.
There Is reason to believe that the con-
spiracy is the outcome Of a revolutionary
programme recently planned by the Pam
Slavic committee In Roumeia. Accord
ing to this a revolution was to have taken
place in Roumella next year. 1t was to
have been preceded by n street or palace
revolution In Sofia, which would have
overthrown Prince Alexander In favor Of
Prince Nicholas Of Montenegro, or of the
latter's sOn-in-law, Peter Karageorgivic.
The outbreak at Sofia would have been
the signal for another in Servia, and King
Milan having been swept from the throne.

Tor union OF Bulgaria, Eastern ROume-
liza, Old Servia and Macedonia under one
sceptre, that OF Peter Karageorgivic.
HOW THE PLOT WAS BETRAYED.
The Pan Slavist intriguers, however,
made mistake and took in Karaveloff,
the Bulgarian Prime Minister, into their
confidence relying upon the old sentiment
of animosity which he used to cherish to-
wards Prince Alexander while he was
living in exile, but NJ. Karavelog. since
he has been in Office, has become very
friendly with the Prince, and whether out
of sincere devotion towards the latter, or
because he saw way TO make a great
career for himself. he not only revealed
the conspiracy to the Prince, but per-
suaded the leading conspiratOrs to pre-
clpitate the movement and execute II in
favor OF Prince AlexandeS. 1t is said
that the Pan Slavist committee had the
backing OF Russia IN their original
scheme.
