ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
LONDON, August 24.-Authentic dis
patches from Sofia show that the deposit
ton Of Prince Alexander, Of Bulgaria,
was accomplished during the night. Ac-
cording to these advices n OF the thor
oughly Russianized regiments of cavalry
was detained In the city after nightfall.
When the other troops retired to their
barracks this regiment, perfectly under
the control Of the revolutionists, surround
night. Alexander was in bed, and the
Palace was closed. The revolutionary
leaders, with the assistance of soldiers,
forced their way into the building and
went TO the Princes a~nte-chamber and
had him aroused. They blunt!y made
known to him the purpose Of their intru-
sion. He was stunned, having been taken
completely nawares When he recovered
his s~elf-control and realized the utter help
l~essness of his situation, he bitterly re-
preached his captors for their treachery.
What followed is still rather Obscure. The
revolutionists declare that Alexander
signed q formal abdicstion Of the throne. |
Others, however, assert that he firmly de-
clined to sign an abdicstion, and that in
consequence OF his refusal he was made a
prisoner and confined in a emo prison, |
being told that he would be kept there I'M.
til he complied with the demands of the
revolutionists. It is said that the Prince
was removed from Sofia under cavalry es-
cort before daybreak. The people did nos
become acquainted with the fact Of the coup |
de etat until several hours after the Prince
was removed from the Palace. kilograms

from Bulgaria say there is much discon-
tent among the troops over the change in
the Government, and that q large proper
