No person is permitted to leave Bulgarian
territory. M. Nelidoff, the Russian ambas-
sador at Constantinople, is said to have been
the only person who received dispatches
from Bulgaria during the coup d. etat.. The
Porte, it is presumed, will take no action un-
til instructed by the powers. The instruc-
tions, it is Thought, will be received by Sat
urday next. The powers undoubtedly desire
to localize the question.
Both the Novosti and the Viedmosti of st.
Petersburg agree that the state of anarchy eX-
listing in Bulgaria has rendered Russian in
tervention more necessary in order to pre-
vent its spread to the whole Balkan peninsu-
la. The Viedmosti says: ''We do not adyo-
cate the occupation of Bulgaria by Russia
That is not worth the bloodshed 1t would en-
tail.''
The following proclamation has been
issued:

Long live Alexander
The news of Prince Alexander's deposit
ton provoked great Indignation among the
citizens and soldiers at Philipp0polis. A
mass meeting was at once held in which
both soldiers and citizens participated. The
meeting adopted resolutions affirming the
loyalty of Eastern Roumelia to Prince Alex
ander. During the entire night professions
marched through the streets shouting, Long
live Prince Alexander" Soldiers every
where throughout Roumelia are declaring
for Alexander, but so far there has been no
disorder.
The direction of affairs at Sofia has been
intrusted to Mayor Panoff The fall of the
rebel cabinet at Sofia is confirmed. 1t is re-
ported that the leaders of the revolution are
fleeing to Servia.
The towns of Bulgaria are decked with
flags and there is general rejoicing at the
overthrow of the rebels. Meetings are be.
ing held everywhere in Bulgaria in favor of
Alexander. If he does not return to Bulga-
ria without delay regency will be pro-
claimed.
The Car of Russia has permitted Prince
Alexander to proceed to Germany by way Of
Odessa.
The Standard Berlin correspondent says
Emperor William, ON hearing of the seizure
and kidnapping of Alexander, wrote sharp
letter to the Car, expressing amazement and
indignation. When the King of Servia heard
of the events at Sofia, he said, 'It is the
greatest piece of infamy ever perpetrated in
Europe. If | knew where Alexander was 1
would sacrifice all possess to afford him as
siStance."
