THE BULGARIAN SENSATION.

LONDON, August 24-Authentic dispatches from
Sofia show the deposition of Prince Alexander was
accomplished during the night. One thoroughly
RussianZed regiment of cavalry was detained In
the city after nghtfall when the troops retired to
their barracks. This regiment was kept perfectly
under the control of the revolutiOnists who sur
rounded the place about o clock In the morning,
Prince Alexander was in bed and the palace was
closed. The revolutionary leaders. however, With
the assistance of the soldiers forced their way into
the building, went to the princes ante chamber
and had him aroused.
They bluntly made known to him the purpose of
their intrusion. lie was stunned, having been
taken completely unawares. When he recovered
his self-control and realized the utter helpessness
of his situation he bitterly reproached his victors
at their treachery. What followed is still rather
obscure.
The revolutionists declare tlat Alexander re-
signed and made formal abdcation of his throne.
Others, however, assert that he warmly denies
signing the abdication, and in consequence OF his
refusal he was made prisoner, being told he
would be kept there until he complied with the
demands of the revolutionists.
Thence he was removed from Sofia under
strong cavalry escort long before daybreak. The
people did not become acquainted with even fact
of the coup de etat Iuti several hours after the
| prince had been removed from the palace.
Advces received from Bulgaria state that there
is much discomfort among the bulgarian troops
over the change In the government and large pro-
portions of them are disposed to restore Prince
Alexander to his threne.
