THE PRINCE A PRISONER.
ALEXANDER TAKEN IN a YACHT
TO RUSSIAN TERRITORY.
The Bulgarian Army and the People
Declare Adherence 10 the Deposed
Prince-Eneland's Attitude.

BUCHAREST, Aug. "a Prince Alex.
aHder embarked to-day on his yacht at |
Rahova and was landed prisoner on
Russian territory at Reni, in Bessara
bia, at the junction OF the Pruth and
Danube. A majority of the Bulgarian /
army and people have now declared ad.
herence to the deposed Prince, ipclud-
ing gsrrisons at Widdin, Ntcopolis and |
Silistria, while the garrison at Philip.
poplis, Eastern Roumelia, has taken |
arms in his favor. A regiment of in-I
fantry, with band playing, marched |
to the foreign consulates, and gave nc |
tice of their adherence to Alexander.
The officer commanding declared
that the whole Bulgarian army was
opposed to the deposition, and was pre-
| pared to fight and die for him. The ir-
lhabitants fraternize with the troops,
and the provincial population Is fren-
zied in favor of the overthr0wn Prince.
| Colonel Montdoroff, chief of the Rou-
melian militia, has offered to lead the
troops to meet Prince Alexander, escort
him back TO Sophia and replace him on
the Bulgarian throne.
| A second provisional government has
been set up with headquarters at Tir-
nova, the former Capital Of Bulgaria. 1t
is IN opposition to that of M. Karaveloh
and in favor of Prince Alexander. M.
Stambuloff, one of the gentlemen whose
names were printed in the circular is
sued yesterday by M. Karaveloff's
Government to convince the people that
iall the prominent msn of the country
lsupported the revolution, Is president
of the new Government.
The deposition OF the Prince was &C
J complished during the night. One
thoroughly Russianizsd regiment OF
cavalry was detained In the city after
nightfall when the other troops retired
to their barracks. This regiment sur
rounded the palace about two hours
past midnight. Prince Alexander was
In bed, and the palace was closed. The
Revolutionary leaders, with the aesis
: lance of sole iers, forced their way into
the building, went into the Princes
, ante chamber and had him aroused.
tThey bluntly made known to him the
lpurpose of their intrusion. When he
Recovered his self control he bitterly
= Ireproached his captcrs for their treach
ery.
What followed is rather obscure. Tht
. lrevolutionists declare that Alexander
' signed formal abdioation of the throne
q Others, however, assert that he firml.
9 eldeclined to do go, and that In conse
lquence he was made prisoner, confD
!. ed in remote prison and removed
? from Soph Ia under a strong cavalry es
d cort long before day break. Prince Pete
y jKarageorgevics and PriI ce Waldemar
!. Iof DeDmark, are both spoken of a
likely to succeed him on the throne o
Bulgaria. All the towns in Bulgsri
land Roumelia rave Widen are in
IT state of siege The railway service be
6 tween Turkey and Roumella is suspeI
y ded.
