LONDON, Aug. 26--The British Foreign Office
has been informed that Prince Alexander is both
safe and free and that he Is on his way to his
home in Darmstadt The dispatches state that
after being conveyed out of Bulgaria, the Prince
was set free at Reni. It is believed here that
when Prince Alexander learns Of the counter
revolution in his favor he will at once return to
Sofia His presence there will, it is believed,

country.
single regiment Of troops. with the assist
ance of number of military cadets, accom-
plished the work of deposing Prince Alexander.
Before proceeding against the Prince the revo-
lutionists arrested the commander of Prince Al
exanders regiment, which was at Slivnitza.
The provisional government, seeing that the
populace were violently loyal to the deposed
Prince, resigned Office and liberated the COM
mander. who at once brought his regiment from
Slivnitza, and dsarmed the regiment which had
assisted in deposing the Prince After this the
commander placed under arrest the political
leaders who had managed the coup d'etat. The
powers have recognized the government formed
by NJ. Karaveloff with him as Premier; NJ. Stor.
loft as Foreign Minister, NJ. Panoff as Minister
of War, and NJ. Gueshoff as Minister of Finance.
The provisional government has assured the
Porte that the movement in favor Of Prince
Alexander is not inimical to Turkey, and has
asked the Porte to reopen the railway between
Constantinople and Phiippopolis
The Gear has ordered that Prince Alexander
be forwarded to Kissenoff if he refuses to accept

general rejoicing at the overthrow OF the rebels.
The Czar has permitted Prince Alexander to
proceed to Germany by the way of Odessa
NJ. Nelidoff. the Russian ambassador to Con-
stantinople, has informed his colleagues that, in
the event of serious disorders in Bulgaria. Rus

sary measures for interfering.
The universal impression in London is that the
Gar will take advantage Of the present revolu-
ton and counter-revolution to march into Bull
garia under the pretense of restoring order 1t
is probably for this purpose that he has massed
such body of troops in Bessarahia under the
command Of staff of no less than nineteen gen
erals, not only the Panslavist organs of Mos
cow, but even the more moderate of the Russian
newspapers urging him to do So But, according
to the terms of the convention signed by the
great powers few months ago at CONSTANT
nople, the Porte is expressly authorized, in case
Of revolt, TO march troops not only into East
ern Roumelia but even into Bulgaria. Acting
on this clause, the Sultan has ordered the imme-
has caused levy en- masse of the Mussulman
population throughout the empire. The whole
of the reserves has also been called out. At any
rate, the Turks will not permit single Russian
soldier to cross the Balkans or to enter the prov
ince of Eastern Rounela.
Prince Alexander received the news of the
success of his friends q: Sofa and the devotion
of the Bulgarian army with deep emotion. The
intelligence of the downfall of the provisional
government was conveyed to him while he was
en- route to Darmstadt, and with the news came
the suggestion that he would better return to
Sofia He telegraphed to his father at Darn
stadt that he would visit Darmstadt at all events,
before returning to Bulgaria, and would there
decide whether he wonld return or not. The
Russians at Reni treated Prince Francis Joseph,
Alexanders brother, with great indignity. He
requested his captors to allow a servant to ac-
company him. but was told 'Your brother can
wait on YOU" Prince Alexander has arrived at
Darmstadt.
1t is positively stated that Prince Alexander,
on learning of the result of the loyalist move
ment, resolved to return to Bulgaria. He is ex-
pected to arrive tomorrow at Rustchuk, whence
an army will conduct him in triumph to Sofia
The London Standards Berlin correspondent
says: Emperor William, on hearing of the
seizure and kidnapping of Prince Alexander,
wrote a sharp letter to the Gar, expressing
amazement and Indignation"
When the King of Servia heard of the events
at Sofia, he said ut is the greatest piece of in
fanny ever perpetrated in Europe If knew
where Alexander was would sacrifice all pos
sess to afford him assistance
The report of the arrival OF Alexander at
Darmstadt is now denied.
There is still extreme doubt as to the where
abouts of Prince Alexander. A dispatch from
Bucharest says Prince Alexander's father tele-
graphed to the Russian Foreign Office at St
Petersburg for news Of his son. The Russian
authorities replied that he had arrived at REM,
whence he proposes to start on foreign tour
The Levant Herald contains a statement
which, it says. comes from source of undoubted
authority, to the effect that Prince Alexander
will be detained at Reni till Wednesday next,
when he will be permitted to proceed to Vienna
on parole, under escort of Russian officer. 1t
is believed that unless Prince Alexander consents
on oath not to return to Bulgaria, he will be
bound to return prisoner to Russia.

citement exists in that city, growing out of the
belief that Russia intends to occupy Bulgaria.
