eign Affairs.
BERLIN, August 27th.-DeGiers. the Rus
sian Minister of Foreign Affairs. yesterday
issued circular from Frazensbad Bohemia,
explaining the Russian connection with
the Bulgarian coup d etat. DeGiers declares
that Russia could never approve of the cir
cumstances attending Prince Alexanders
addiction. Bulgarians who favored the
deposition of Alexander DeGiers contin-
ues, undoubtedly followed their natural
feelings, thereby removing the obstacles
which disturbed the close reunion of the
Bulgarian Liberals by their hearty and I'M
selfish sacrifice, and kindness to the Rus
sian people, The circular then contains
the following: From the moment when,
with genuine astonishment, we learned
how the deposition was misunderstood, we
instructed our agents in Bulgaria to secure
a reversal of what had happened and not
leave train of suspicion that Russia's ac-
ton had any influence in the affair. The
Bulgarians, by their attitude in the
deposition, manifested the greatness
Of their sympathy with their liber
atOr, but by following our will in
overcoming the provisional Government
and recalling Prince Alexander, they have
severed their deep devotion TO Russia.
What Bulgaria did or not in the moment
of unretlecting excitement has been paid
through 1uSSldn lDHueuCe. Suall not NIT
tiers therefore be now settled III a definite,
legal, loyal form? May | not even enter
tain the hope that Alexander, whose high
faculties we are willing 10 acknowledge,
who unhappily became the puppet of IN
fluences he was unable sufficiently to re-
sist, will, from regard for the facts, and
soberly judging the situation, renew of his
own accord, without pressure, the act of alb
dicdtion, forced from him under conditions
which we were The first to regret and the
only one to rest.re. We shall, acting in
concert with the friendly powers, be en-
abled 10 restore, in a fair and just manner,
the balance between conflicting interests in
the East and secure eur rights in Bulgaria
from further eventuGliGies, 3ud be able 10
place the peace Of Europe on a new and
solid basis, and surround il by the further
strong guarantees of our friendships with
ueighboring States and with European
powers generally"
Russia Misled.
LONDON August 9th Although the
Bulgarian Revolutionists have been for
moment snuffed out, the reserves have
been called out. Military activity is mer
cenary, and the fresh developments of
Russia's plans, necesstating armed inter
vention are believed to be immi-
nent. The loyalist uprising in East
ern Roumelia, as well as in Bulgaria,
has completely disconnected Russian
diplomacy. The Government was misled
by the reports of its agents, who repre-
sented that an overwhelming majority OF
the troops would declare for Russia as soon
as the Prince was deposed NJ. de Giers
attributes the whole affair TO irresponsible
enthusiasts, who thought they had a sacred
mission to put stop 10 the Princes mill
tary plans.
EnSlsnd's Suggestions Approved.
LONDON, August 27th.-England has
suggested to the Powers that it wonld
be unwise to infict further injury
upon Prince Alexander by indorsing
! the conspiracy or any of the acts of the
evil-doers at Sofia, pointing out that Alex
ander has shown himself TO be in
accord with a vast majority Of his
subjects, and therefore it would be not only
unfair but highly impolitic on the part Of
| the Powers to interfere with his reinstate-
ment. In this the Powers have acquiesed
and unless Alexander has strong personal
| objections TO again rule over the Bull
garians, he will make his triumphal entry
| into Sofa next week.
Prince Alexander's Whereabouts.
LONDON, August 27th.-Authentc infor-
nation has at last reached here in regard
| to the movements Of Prince Alexander, of
bulgaria. lie laQueu AT KEN, IN husSla,
province of Bessarbia. Wednesday, On
leaving the yacht in which he had been
! transported to that point, lie made q brief
| farewell address to the commander and
| escort. In this he expressed his regret at
leaving Bulgaria. He declared he would
never cease to take profound interest in
Bugaria's happiness and prosperity, and
towards this end he had labored with his
| whole heart. His earnest wish in the
present juneture was that Bulgaria should
choose another Prince to rule over her
who would be devoted to the welfare Of the
country. Alexander was expected TO ar
rive at Limberg yesterday evening, where
delegates had been sent from the army and
the people to represent to him the situation
in Bulgaria, and invite him back to assume
the reins of the Government which were
Waiting him. The BulCariaUs are unani-
nous in their demand for the Princes
return to Eustehnk. As result of the
understanding reached by the adherents of
Alexander at Sofia and Tiernova, Council
of Regency has been formed.
BERLIN, August 27th.-Prince Alexander
has reached Berlin.

PARIS, August 27th-The recall Of the
