Berlin, July 20.-(Copyrighted 1895 by
the Associated Press.)-The news of the
murderous assault upon NJ. Stambouloff,
the distinguished Bulgarian statesman,
fell like live bomb in the midst of a
state of political calm reigning here for
some time, depressed the bourse and
caused general CONSERVATION.
Some idea of the effect of the startling
news from Bulgaria may be gathered
from the fact that high official of the
foreign Office said to the Associated Press
reporter today:
within month war may break out in
the Balkan peninsula. Be that as it
may, it is feared that the murder of the
eX-premier of Bulgaria will lead to grave
complications In the East. Many of the
German newspapers are very Outspoken
an the matter and attribute the crime to
Russia"
Emperor William was in Sweden when
M. StambOuloH was attacked, and in ad-
ditiOn to being kept fully informed re-
garding the situation by the means of dis
patches sent to him twice daily by cour-
iers, two officials of the foreign office were
sent to Sweden on Thursday with special
messages. On Wednesday, it appears,
the emperor wanted to return to Berlin
and was with some difficulty dissuaded
from doing so by the plea that his hasty
return might, in the present disturbed
state of political affairs, have an effect
beyond which was intended.
Many dispatches relating to Bulgaria
have been exchanged between the foreign
office of Germany and Austria.
