cry. The revolutlOnists declare that
Prlnee Alexander signed a formal abdi-

proportion are disposed to restore Prince
Alexander.
RALLYING TO THE PRINCE.

majority of the Bulgarian army, as well
as majority of the Bulgarian people,
have already declared adherence to Prince
Alexander. Col. MontdOroff, chief of the
houmelian military, offered to lead the
troops TO meet the Prince, escort him
back to Sofia, and replace him on the
throne. NJ. Stambuloff, President OF the
TiTnova provisional government. acting
IN concert with MontdOroff, has summon
ed the militia of Bulgaria to serve in the
interest of Prince Alexander. A depu-
tatlon of peasants from the interior OF
Bulgaria, expecting that the Prince, on
his way to exile, would pass through
Bucharest, have arrived here to tender
their fidelity to his fortunes.
DISORDER AT SOFIA.
A Bucharest dispatch says that disor-
der prevails in Sofia and that the outly-
ing garrisons are awaiting the signal to
march on the capital. The only news re-
ceived from Darmsta6t is that Prince
Alexander passed Vartisa on Sunday and
landed at NIkopOiis or Grahova on Mon
day, and was escorted thence to a place
as yet unknown.
A PREVIOUS PLOT.
1t transpires that an attempt was made
to depOse Prince Alexander at Burghas
about the middle OF the summer, but the
plot failed. Prince Alexander's father
has received no news relative to the
Vienna bourse rumOr that Prince Alex
ander had committed suicide.
The Morning Post denies that Turkey
was party to the deposition.
GERMAN OFFICERS DRINK TO ALEX.
ANDER.
BERLIN, Aug. 24.-When the deposition
of Prince Alexander was announced at
the mess dinners at the barracks on SUM-
day the officers drank Prince AleXander's
health with great enthusiasm.
A LETTER FROM THE PRINCE.
A letter from Prince Alexander, writ
ten at Sofia few days before the coup
d'etat, has been received In THIS city. In
the letter Prince Alexander SAYS: "My
position is becoming exceedingly diff
cult. The people are alarmed at the Ser
Wan arnaments and the presence of the
Turkish Commissioners. In order to re-
assure the people, who have been worked
upon by Russian opposition, l
requested Count Kalnoky three weeks ago
to induce Servia to agree to resume diplo-
matte relations with Bulgaria. Count
Kalnoky consented, but SerVia has not
replied, but she has continued to fortify
her frontier. leading us to expect a re-
sumption of hOstilities. The Ministry
have asked me to order an advance OF
troops, which l have refused to do, know
Ing the seriousness Of the first slips in
such a case.
ENMITY OF THE PRESS.
Son the other hand, the press attacks
me on account of the appointment OF a
delegate to the Turkish Commission. 1
therefore am anxious to be absolutely
free with regard to Servia, In order that |
may devote myself entirely to the Turkish
question. The excitement is so
great against the commission that
an attack upon the delegates is probable.
You see how l am beset with troubles.
Nobody here wishes war. On the con-
trary we would thank heaven for the res
toration of our relations with ServIa so
that O. conflict might be avoided"
