THE TABLES TURNED.

| ALEXANDER "Caued Back'-The SOnsplra'
tors Fleeing to Servia-Premier Stambu
| lofts Proclamation.
PHILIPPoPoLIs, Aug 25.-The news OF
Prince Alexander's deposition provoked
great indignation here among the citizens
and soldiers. A mass-meeting was at
once held in which both soldiers and Cit
liens participated. The meeting adopted
resolutions affirming the loyalty of East
ern Roumelia to Prince Alexander. Dur
ing the night professions marched
through the streets shouting: "Long live
Prince Alexander" Colonel Monthour-
| off, commander of the Eastern Roumelian
troops, has issued proclamation sum-
| moning "patriots to defend the honor of
| Prince Alexander and Bulgaria" Sol
| ders everywhere throughout Roumelia
! are declaring for Alexander, but so far
| there has been no disorder.
THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT OVER.
THROWN.
LONDON, Aug. 25.-Sofa dispatches
say that the provisional which has been
formed to administer the affairs of Rou-
mclia, after the deposition of Alexander,
has been overthrown, and Minister of
Foreign Affairs M. Clement; Minister OF
Finance, NJ. Zankoff and NJ. Groueff, and
other members of the provisional gov
ernment have been arrested, and that the
karayaloff ministry, which is in favor of
Prince Alexander, has been reinstated.
A deputation has been sent in search of
the dethroned Prince to ask him to re-
turn to the Palace and reassume the
direction of affairs.
LONDON, Aug. 26.-The deadlock here
on the Balkan revolution has at length
been broken sufficiently to permit of
some official action. After more than
two days. delay, involving the greatest
anxiety in the minds of the Ministry, the
government has received a meager teie-
gram from Sofa announcing the arrest
and deportation of Prince Alexander of
Bulgaria. No particulars or reasons are
given, but the bare fact will doubtless be
enough to warrant the opposition in
worrying the Ministry with ques-
tons as to what they are going
to do about it, and whether
Russia alone or with Austria and Ger
many, as the case may be, will be allowed
| without a dignified protest to administer
to England such a decided slap in the
face as this Bulgarian move undoubt-
edly is. In diplomatic circles the con-
viction deepens that the affair was pre-
meditated between the three emperors,
and that the policy is aimed against En-
gland. Turkeys position in the matter
is ridiculous. While holding nominal
suzerainty and issuing empty
circulars to the powers, she
is, of course, utterly helpless,
and is just now completely subservient to
TIL saI,
itself in ability. 1t has been reported
took the management of foreign affairs
entirely into his own hands. If this be
true he has proved that Russian diplo-
macy-which means Russian duplicity-
is as inherent in the reigning family as in
its ministers.
PRINCE ALEXANDER.
LONDON, Aug. &C., A. M.-The best
information amid the conflicting Bull
garian kilograms leads me to say that
Prince Alexander, ignorant of the counter
revolution, has started for his home in
Darmstadt, but will, doubtless, get It'd
ings of it and return to Sofia. The revo-
luton has ludicrously collapsed. The
Prince was pressed by fourteen disaffect-
ed officers to sign an abdlcation, and
was promised that if he signed it he
would be allowed to leave the
country unmolested. Neither that
nor the threats which fol-
lowed could induce the hero of Sliv-
nitZa to put his name to the abdication.
The Prince never hesitated one moment,
but, daring his aggressors to do their
worst, cast from him the document that
was to have secured his freedom. He
was taken to Rahova, where a small
yacht was in waiting. This craft was
manned by a'crew not exclusively COM
posed of Bulgarians. There seems to
be some doubt as to the nation
ality of the yacht, but the river
side population declare it sped alon.
with greater rapidity than any Danube
steamship. A detachment of Bulgarian
troops, with fixed bayonets, was seen on
board. When the yacht passed Rustchuk
and Silistria Populations had already ar
rived there from the Karaveloff govern
ment to hail the vessel and receive tn
Prince when he should land. No motto.
was taken of the signals they made.
CONFIRMATORY.
The direction of affairs at Sofia has
been entrusted to Major Panoff. The
fall of the rebel cabinet at Sofia is con-
firmed. 1t is reported that the leaders of
the reVolntlon are neelng to SerVia. The
ministerial ViontsU states that Russia
forbade Alexander to land in Russian
territory.
The Rustchuk garrison has declared it's
loyalty to the Stambuloff cabinet. Meet
ings are being held everywhere in Bull
garia in favor of Alexander. If he does
not return to Bulgaria without delay
regency will be proclaimed.
A PROCLAMATION.
TIRNOvA, Aug. 26.-The following
proclamation has been issued:
s'In the name of Prince Alexander and
the Bulgarian Parliament 1 hereby de-
clare that l have assumed the direction
of the provisional government OF Sofia
