ALgxANDER's DOWNFALL.

A Prospect OF Civil War In Bulgaria-Sofia,
the Capital in State of Siege-Tho
Army Greatly Dissatisfied with the Pres
ent State of Affalrs-Story of the DEPOSIT
ton of the Prince.
LONDON, Aug. ga Bucharest dispatch
says that the Bulgarian authorities have
forbidden Bulgarians to cross the Danube
into Roumania. There are rum ors that IL
military movement is impending at Wild
din and elsewhere in favor of Prince Alex
ander; also that Stamboulof, the presi-
dent of the Bulgarian char ber heads a
protesting party and is organizinga meet
ing in favor of Alexander. Advices from
Widdin say that the army is dissatisfied
with the present state of affairs and that
the lower classes are still ignorant of what
has happened The Bulgarian Govern
.ment has established d blockade on the
Servian frontier. Sofia is in state of
seige.
The Porte has ordered that universal
Mussulman CONSUMPTION be proceeded with
immediately, and that the reserves be
summoned for service. The occupation of
the frontiers of Macedonia and Roumelia
has been ordered. The Greek and Italian
press universally side with Prince Alex
ander.
The story of the deposition is told as
follows: Karaveloif, the Prime Minister,
entered the palace at Sofia and ex-
planned to Prince Alexander that
the public opinion of Bulgaria
was dissatisfied with his policy
and demanded his deposition. Prince Al
exander said: Il see no friends, can not
resist" Prince Alexander was taken COM
pletely by surprise. He was astounded at
the sudden bursting of the plot upon him. NJ.
Karaveloff had managed the whole affair
with such secrecy that the only intimation
OF the coming storm was the matinous
spirit noticeable among the troops. Prince
Alexander had ordered the circulation of
papers among them. which openly de-
clared that he alone was the only obstacle
to the reunion, but his orders in this re-
gard were not obeyed. The affection of
the common people for Prince Alexander
personally remains undininished.
The new Government has issued proc
lamation stating that Prince Alexander
has rendered great services to Bulgaria in
the battlefield, but that he bad too little
regard for Bulgaria's position as state
and the maintenance of friendly relations
with Russia to longer remain at the head
of the Government.
LONDON, Aug. 24.-The news of Prince
| Alexander deposition was received at the
British Foreign Office Sunday afternoon.
There was great activity at the Foreign
Office all day yesterday, and an almost
continuous Geographic communication
was kept up with foreign capitals.
| The news also formed the principal
| theme of conversation in the lobby of the
| House of Commons. The Parnellites ana
| advanced Radicals hold that diplomatic
| complications must inevitably ensue ar
| guing that it will be impossible for the Gov
eminent to submit to coup d'etat which
so greatly increases the Cars influence
| in the Balkans. The Minsterialists adj
| nit that the deposition of Prince Alexan
| der is matter of extreme gravity, but
they say that even if it be proved that
| Russia instigated the movement, it will be
difficult for England to interfere, because
it is generally assumed that Austria and
Germany acquiesced in Alexander's over
throw. 1t is considered improbable by tie
Conservatives that the Government will
enter a protest in the matter.
