London. July 18-A dispatch to the
Pail Mall Gazette, from Sofia. this af-
ternoon, says that the condition of ex-
Premier Stambouloff, who was murder
ously assaulted yesterday evening
While returning home from the Union
Club, by four persons armed with re-
volvers and knives. is hopeless.
He has fifteen sword cuts on his head
and one Of his eyes has been destroyed.
Although the attempt to murder him
was made in busy street. no one came
to his assistance. Everybody seems to
be convinced that the police were in the
plot to assassinate the ex-premier, as
five members Of the police force who
were near him when the attack was
commenced, made no attempt to inter-
fere. Then again, one Of the Stambou-
loft 8 servants chased one Of the assass-
ins. but the man was stopped by the
police.
NJ. Stambouloff's coachman who. 1t
but missed hitting anybody when the
eX-premier's assailants attacked the
carriage last night, is also believed to
nave been one Of those who plotted
against the statesmans life, as he made
no attempt to whip up his horses when
the attack was made.
The police and detachments Of
cavalry patroled Sofia throughout last
night, but they seem to have found no
trace Of the assassin, except some dag
gers which were found in the streets,
1t developed during the day that NJ.
Stambouloff has long been convinced
that he would fall victim to the ven
geance Of the friend of Major Panitza,
whom he caused to be executed after he
had been found guilty of treason, in
1899, in conspiring against the life of
Prince Ferdinand
Since the refusal Of the government
to give NJ. Stambouloff his passport to
Carlsbad representatives. of the diplo-
matte corps here have frequently called
the attention Of the government to the
fact that they had become aware that
an attempt upon the eX-premier's life
was pending. 1t is strange to add that
not single member Of the cabinet has
called upon M. Stambouloff since the
latter was wounded last night.
