LONDON, August 81. Authentic dis
patches received from Sophia to-day show
that the deposition Of Prince Alexander
Of Bulgaria, was accomplished during the
night, According to these adviCes one
thoroughly Russisnized regiment Of cav
airy was detained in the city after night
fall when the other troops retired to their
barracks. This regiment, perfectly under
the control Of the Rsvolutonists, sur
rounded the palace about two hours past
midnight, Prince Alexander was in bed,
and the palace was closed. The revoIu.
tIonary leaders, with the assistance OF the
soldiers, forced their way into the build
ing, weRt to the Princes ante.chamber
and had him aroused, They bluntly made
known to him the purpose Of their intru.
sion, He was stunned, having been taken
completely unaware, When he recovered
his sslf.control and realized the utter help
lessness of his situation, he bitterly re-.
preached his captors for their treachery,
What followed Is still rather obscure.
The revolutionists declare that Alex
auder signed formal abdlCation OF the
throne, Others, however, assert that he
firmly declined to sign an abdication, and
that In consequence OF his refusal he was
made prisoner and confined in remote
prison, being told he would bs kept there
until he complied with the demand OF the
revolutionisls, 1t is said that the Prince
was removed from Sophia under strong
cavalry escort long before daybreak. The
people did not become acquainted with
even the fact OF the coup detat until
several hours after the Prince had been
removed from the palace.
Prince Henry OF Battenburg, who Is at
Balmoral, was asked whether he had re-
Ceived any communication from Prince
Alexander, to which he replied: ~ don't
know where my brother Is. l have not
heard from him yet"
Telegrams from Widen say that ad.
vices received there from Bulgaria state
that there is much discomfort among the
Bulgarian troops over the change In the
government, and that large proportion
oi the troops are disposed TO restore Prince
Alexander. All towns in Bulgaria and
Roumelia, except Widen, are in state
Of seige, and seivla has begun to place
her army on a war footing.
RUssEA's HAND IN THE AFFAIR.
Russia has obtained speedy revenge for
the harsh language addressed to her by
the British Foreign Office when she closed
the port Of Batoum by bringing about the
coup d'etat In Bulgaria, which was manag.
cd in RIssla's most approved fashion,
Gold and promises were lavishly used
right and left 10 corrupt the adherents OF
Prince Alexander, and the few OF those
who remained steadlast In their loyalty to
the Prince were carefully sent away, leay.
ing the Prince powerless to resist the re-
volt. Thus the Prince Of Bulgaria pays
penalty OF thwarting the wishes OF the
Gar In allying himself With England and
trying 10 run his little government alone.
The Czar has had feeling OF the tiercest
bitterness against Prince Alexander since
the latter's previous revolt. He has
steadily refused to answer the Princes
personal appeals, and fnally'returned his
letters unopened, declaring he would re.
Ceiye no further communications from
him.
ST. PETERsBuRd, August 24.-The Jour.
nal De 81. Petersburg, commenting on the
Bulgarian crisis, says 1t hopes the politi.
clans Of Bulgaria and Roumelia have the
wisdom to understand that the destinies
Of both nations depend upon the behavior
ot the people. "The Powers, with whom
rests the decisions OF these destinies,"
adds the Journal, "desire, above all things,
peace and the good will Of those Powers
should be secured. The politicians should
abstain from agitation and should not at.
tempt TO hamper their good intentions"
The Russian press generally do not be-
lleYe that any Of tho other Powers will in
teitere with Russia's "direCt pacifCation
Of Bulgaria."
The Nou0e Hrema advocates sending a
Russian dignitary to maintain order until
a successor to Prince Alexander be chosen.
