STAMBOULOFF ASSAULTED
The Bulgarian ex.Premier In a Preca.
riOus Condition
Attacked by Four nen With Pistols and
knives-His Recovery Is Very
Uncertain

SOFIA, July 16.-Ex- Premier STAN bou.
loft was murderously assaulted yesterday
evening while returning from the Union
club. by four persons armed with revoI-
vers and knives.
The condition of Stambuoloff this even
ing is such as to give but slight hopes
that he may yet recover from his wounds.
M. Stambouloff has made a state
ment to the public prosecutor. who has
ordered the arrest of Tufektchieff. This
man was formally charged with the
murder of M. Bellcheff, the Bulgarian
minister OF finance, assassinated in
March, 1891. while in company with M.
STAN oouloff. Nine. Bellcheff, it will be
recalled, was inclined to believe that M.
Setam bouloff was the murderer of her
huaband and a warrant was issued, but
never executed, for his arrest.
A man who witnessed NJ. STAN bouloff's 8
coachman pursue the assassin, states
that be saw a policeman strike the coach
man because Of the latter's refusal to give
up the revolver with which he was
chasing the criminal, and to whom the
policeman was not paying attention. NJ.
Stambouloff has long been convinced
that he would fall victim to the ven
geance of the friends of Major Panitzav,
whom he caused to be executed after he
had been found guilty of treason in 1890
in conspiring against the life OF Prince
Ferdinand.
Since the refusal of the government to
give M. Stambouloff his passports to
Carlsbad, representatives of the dlplo-
matte corps here have frequently called
the attention of the government to the
fact that they were aware that an at
tempt on the minister's life was pending.
Not a single member of the cabinet called
on M. STAN bouloff since the latter was
wounded last night.
