A Surprise to Politicians-The Deposition
the Result of Conspiracy.
LONDON. Aug 23.-The Marquis of Salisbury
returned to London this morning. He had long
interview with the Earl of Iddesleigh. Foreign
Minister. The coup detat in Bulgaria was
complete surprise to both Ministers The secur-
tiles which were affected by the first receipt of
the news from Sofia are now recovering.
A dispatch from Vienna, to the Times, con-
tains the following: prince Alexander was de-
posed by conspiracy. He was escorted to Wild
din, to embark thence on Sunday for Severin, in
Walachia, Roumelia. A dispatch from Bucha-
rest, the capital of Roumania, states that all
news from Bulgaria comes at present through
official couriers and that no private person is
allowed to either enter or leave Bulgaria. Tho
telegraph lines, the dispatch adds, have all been
stopped from operating The story of
the deposition is told as follows:
Karaveloff, the Prime Minister entered
the palace at Sofa, and explained to Prince AL
exander that the public opinion of Bulgaria was
dissatisfied with his policy, and demanded his
deposition. Prince Alexander said: L see no
friends; l cannot resist Public meetings have
been held in Sofa and Rustchuk, and in all of
them the proclamation of the change of govern
ment was received with favor. The people re-
joice over the coup, which, they say, ended an
intolerable situation. The Bulgarians are per-
suaded that Russia will now assist them to con-
summate the union which they think it is Tur-
keys design to Illustrate. Prince Alexander was
taken completely by surprise. He was
astounded at the sudden bursting of the plot
upon him. NJ Karaveloff had managed the
IL e. I.
dication of the storm was the mutinous spirit
noticeable among the troops Prince Alexander
had ordered the circulation of papers among
them which openly declared that he alone was
the obstacle to the union, but his orders in this
regard were not obeyed. The affection Of the
common people for Prince Alexander personally
remains undiminished."
telegram from Bucharest says 'The Rou-
manians are very much excited over the Bulga-
rian crisis. King Charles is personally rsesiding
over special meeting of the Cabinet, hastily
summoned, and Premier Bretano is returning
from Govdra with all possible speed"

publishes article on the Bulgarian crisis,
which is characterized by amiability of express
sions toward Russia and unfriendlness to Eng
land
The Russian press was less surprised at the
deposition of Prince Alexander than it was when
Roumelia revolted In 1885. The newspapers at
St Petersburg generally, for some time past,
have believed that the political tension in Bull
garia foreshadowed catastrophe. The Vedo-
mosti says: Russia must speak her weghty
word if she does not wish to lose control of Bull
garian destinies" The Novosti says it is highly
probable that Russia will intervene directly and
establish a new order of things in Bulgaria, and
adds: 'With Alexander deposed Bulgarian
sympathy with Russia will revive" Most of the
Russian papers observe that the foreign press
manifests confusion of ideas respecting tn re-
lations between the three Emperors.
The Bulgarian governments proclamation an
nouncing the deposition of Prince Alexander
and the reasons therefor declares that ''He rem
dered great services on the field of battle, but
politically, he had too little regard for Bulgarias
position as Slav state and the maintenance of
relations with Russia. His deposition, on this
account, was necessity"
French feeling favors Prince Alexander's dep
osition, because the Prince is German French
men hope that Russia's action in the emergency
may embroil the central European powers.
Nobody in Paris believes that these powers con-
nived at Prince Alexanders expulsion.
The London Globe says: Bulgarian events
touch England very remotely, compared with
Germany and Austria England will not rush
in where others decline to tread"
The London Times, commenting on the Bull
garian affairs. says: 1.-THE Coup must, we fear,
be regarded. SO far as Prince Alexander is con-
cerned, as the end Of the chapter for him. The
general feeling will be one of respectful sympa-
thy. He failed rather because he was too good
for the work fortune had assigned to him. The
event must be regarded as q triumph of Rus
sian diplomacy, and it is a very impressive
event 1t is also, in less degree. reverse fox
Engand's diplomacy. 1t is only too clear that
the Marquis of Salisbury is confronted with all
the dangers and difficulties, in an aggravated
FORM which he had to face on his first accession
to power"
The st. Petersburg Messenger publishes an Of
fetal communication stating that the relations
between Russia and the other powers remain
unaltered. The announcement is made for the
purpose of rebuking the attacks Russia by
papers in Germany, and is regarded as an Of
fetal intimation that the triple alliance is un-
broken.
