Govtrrment crested by the revolution
lists has been oytrihrown. NJ. Clement,
NJ. GroueG, and Nj. Zankoff, three OF
its members, have heen arrested and
thrown into prison and the old Ministry
rtlnstated. The deception practiced
by the circulation Of the report that
Prince Alexander voluntarily abdicated
has exasperated troops and civilians
alike, and the revulsion OF popular feel
ing in favor Of the deposed ruler is as
general as il is intense. A deputation
has started out to find the Prince and
assure him Of the loyalty OF the Bul-
earian people aud the army, and to en-
dosyor to persuade him to return.

RUSSIAN INTERVENTION NECESSARY
ST. PETERSBURG, August o.
Both the horosti aud the Jiedomosti,
newspapers, agree that the state Of an
archy existing in Bulgaria has rendered
Russian intervention more than necessa-
" in order TO prevent It's spread to the
whole Balkan peninsula. The Viedo-
mosh SAYS: We DO not advocate the
occupation Of Bulgaria by Russia. That
is not worth the fresh bloodshed 1t
would entail.

RESUME or THE SITUATION.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, August o.
al communication between Turkey
and Bulgaria has been stopped. The
captain Of steamer plying to Warns
has refused to take thither any more
Passengers. A Russian steamer, which
has arrived st Burgas from Odessa, has
been forbidden to ship either passen-
gers or provisions. Travel across Bull.
gaia on the railway from Rustchuk, on
the Danube, TO Varna, and or the Black
Sea, has been suspended by order of
the Karayeloff Provisional Government,
which has also forbidden all travel in
The interior of Bulgaria. No person is
permitted to leave Bulgarian territory.
Nelidof, Russian ambassador st Con-
stantinople, is said TO have been the
only person who received dispatches
from Bulgaria during the coup detot.
The Porte, it is presumed, win take no
action until instructed by the Powers.
The instructions, it is thought, will be
received by Saturday next.
Five batteries Of artillery and squad
rcns Of cavalry have been ordered to
proceed from PhilippopOlis to Sofia.
Diplomats believe that Russia will not
pemit Alexander to return 70 Bull
gaia, even if the cOunter.revolutionist
troops be successful in his favor. Rus
sia will rather, diplomats argue, insist
that the Bulgarian Assembly shall
choose a new ruler. The Powers I'M
doub;edly desire to locAlze the ques-
tion, but the demand upon the Car to
allow the return of Alexander might
result in making the whole matter an
international affair.
