Attempts at Corruption.

COLOGNE, oct g. New York Herald
Cabe-Speca TO the BEE,l-News of the
most serious character has Just arrived from
Bulgaria General Kauibars is making open
attempts to corrupt the officers of the Bulga-
rian army. Yesterday Herr Saterchin,
brought into prominence by the prince re-
cent letters to the czar, visited at Ruschschun
Lieutenant Colonel Filof, in command there,
and showed to him a letter addressed by Cen
eral Kaulbars to Fllof, in which the
Russian envoy commanded Filoff TO set
at liberty without delay the whole
of the officers who had been taken INTO GUS
tody at Rustschuk on the charge of high trea-
son. General kaulbars added that he should
hold Filoff personally responsible for carry
ing out the order Saterchin pressed the mat
ter home, but Filotf eneTgetically refused to
commit the act of trelchery AGAINST the gov
ernment required of him, and promptly re-
ported the attitude of kaulbars to the au-
thorities.
ANOTHER SEDITIoUs ATTEMPT.
In the previous day SaterchiI attempted to
incite against the government, the COM
mander of three regiments stationed at
Shumla. Captains Dickotf, Lutz-kano and
Kosasoff-the commander referred tore
fused to take any part In rising, but allowed
themselves to Oc persuaded to address letter

of war with Russia and advising the gov
ernment to consent to the demands of
General kaulba,s. Mikalaieff, the war min
lister, sent a dispatch in reply to the com
municatOn, threatening the three officers
with arrest, whereupOn they endeavored to
excuse themselves on the ground that their
letter was purely confidential and expressed
SIMPLY their own private opinion. They
promised unconditional obedience to the
government.
CIRCULAR TO THE POWERS.
The Bulgarian government is about to
send TO the powers circular in which they
will show the European world how General
Kaulbarsis seeking, in accordance with
regular plan, to bring about insurrectionary
disturbances in different parts of Bulgaria.
KAULBAR'S COOL RECEPTION.
A dispatch has just been received from
Wratza giving the particulars of the recep-
tion there of General kaulbars. The affair
was without significance, scarcely thirty per-
sons attending to meet the envoy of the czar.
Kaulbars fairly RACED at the Zankovists, who
had pictured Wratza as very fortress of
Russophieism. The generals intention
seems to be not to return to Sofia but to pro-
eeed to st. Petersburg, probably to report
there on tue state OF affairs in Bulgaria. Ru-
mors are going the round in Sofia that the
Russian government disapproves of the en-
voy's aggressions, and that scarcely arrived,
General Kaulbars is about to be recalled.
BAD WEATHER FOR ENGLAND.
The demonstrative reception of the French
admiral, MaZussac, gives politicians at the
Golden Horn chance for all sorts of COM
ments, since it las been regarded as sign of
bad weather for England. The admiral was
received with princeIy hopofs like the Duke
of Edinbur.h, but was treated even better
than the latter, for while the sultan made the
duke wait several days for his reception, he
gave reception to and banquetted the French
admiral on the very day of his arrival. More
over, the French ambassador, Count Monte
BELLS, who in brief time has displayed
great activity. is already in possession of the
order of the Osmanli.
