a campaign of assassination against Bulga-
ria's public men, from Prince Ferdinand
down. The note demands that Turkey be
compelled to expel the assassins whom
Russia supports on her soil. The note is
supposed to be the precursor of proclama-
ton of Bulgaria's independence from
Turkey, and such a proclamation would
inevitably result in q war. The note 10
considered the result of protection by
Turkey and Russia of the murderers of DE-.

er-in-law of the Servian minister. and OF
the discovery of a remarkable band of con-
spirators living on Russian soil, and suD-'
ported by Russian money.
The intriguing with the Car on behalf
of these conspirators is carried on bv Gen.
eral Ignacioff and other high military men,
who are anxious TO annex Bulgaria and
fight out the unavoidable war with Germany
and Austria at once. The conspIrators
have been encouraged by the Car and the
millions paid by bulgaria to Russia IN con-
nection with the Russian occupation have
been applied to the support OF the conspir-
acy against the Bulgarian government.
The head ofthe conspiracy in the Bulgarian
committee of instruction is In 50. Peters
burg. This committee consists of nve Bull
garian refugees and one Russian, Theohar-

attempts on Stambuloff. the Panitza plot
