From the Pesther Lloyd.
some gentlemen who were passing the
Princes palace about two o. clock in the morn
Ing met body of troops marching toward the
kOnak. Soon after they heard shrill cries Of
agony and despair breaking the silence of the
night. After this ali silent again. Several
of the palace guards had been murdered, and
tnelr colleagues then surrendered, finding
themselves too weak to offer further resistance.
All the entrances and staircases of the palace
were occupied by the troops, and the conspira-
tors were then able to enter the palace. The
prince ON Friday morning received an anony
nous letter communicating all the details OF
The plot against HIM, but with his generous dis
position he could not believe that his soldiers
would turn traitors, and he diSregarded the
warning. He showed the letter to Lis brother.
Prince Francis Joseph, and several gentlemen,
and then threw it into the waste paper basket
None OF them entertained any real suspicion,
although Sofia was denuded OF troops except
one battalion from kustendil and two compa.

SO over;,wed them that they saluted him.
Ihereupon Major Grue1, commander OF the
kusiendii battalion, ana TWO other officers,
stepped forward and said to the prince: The
abdicate.'
The prince abruptly declined. but Gruef
insisted, saying the whole army pa,sionateiy
demanded the princes abdication and the pro-
lection OF the car, whom the prince had SO
present AS proof OF his assertion 10 the feel
ing OF the Bulgarian troops. The fact evidently

SchooI .! Cadets was his own creation. Leaning
MS forehead against the window, through which
he could see the troops surrounding The palace,
he said, with considerable emotion: "Well,
draw up your form Of abdicatiUn, and will
sign it. Ii l am deserted 10y the officers and
soldiers whom l bave led to victory, l have
nothing further to do here Write whatever
you like, but quickly
The prince then left the vestibule OF the
courtyard where this scene took place and,
mounting the steps to his bedroom, on the first
floor, finished dressing himself. Gruetf and
several others followed the Prince TO his bed
room, and placed before him the form OF audi-
Gallon they had brought with them already
prepared To the palace. The prince read the
document in silence, and with "a firm hand
slgued it in two lines. Alexander, God save
bulgaria. Grueif Lhereupon pressed Tor the
immediate departure OF the prince, who con-
panied by his brother. The couspirators on the
whole were polite, but in undressing the prince
no longer called him Your Highness," but
simply "knas'-that is Sir"
Walking through two rows OF soldiers, Prince
AieHinder was tnen conducted by Gruef to the
adjacent war ministry, where a little later
Prince Francis Joseph also arrived. The two
brothers were then placed in two carriages
each with two officers and AN armed soldier on
the box, while several cavalry soldiers headed
the procession, toward Berkovitza.
