Declaration of Absolute
Independence.
ConstantinopIe, April 24.-As previous
ly announced In these dispatches, the
Turkish government some days age
called upon Bulgariaas vassal of Turkey
to break off all diplomatic relations with
Greece, and expel the Greek consul and
all Greeks from Bulgarian territory. The
Bulgarian government took the matter
under consideration, and it is now an
nounced, has declined to comply, declar-
ing that she will observe neutrality during
war between Turkey and Greece. This
refusal of Bulgaria to acknowledge her
vassalage to Turkey is regarded a very
important departure, foreshadowing a
declaration of independence on the part
Of Bulgaria.
Ambassadors of the powers, at meet
ing just held, have decided to address
identical notes to the Turkish govern
ment, asking that Greeks employed by
foreign ministers, consulates, and hospi-
tails, and all Greek ecclesiastics, be per.
mitted to remain in Turkey. The ann
bassadors also propose that foreign con-
sulates shall use their good Offices in be-.
half of Greeks who represent the interests
of foreign capital, and finally will recon-
mend that in any case the Turkish gov.
ernment should observe moderation in
carrying out the expulsion of Greeks.
The question is very serious one, as at
Constantinople alone there are 10000
Greeks and throughout Turkey 100000.
Fears are expressed that disturbances
will OCCUR during the Greek Eastertide
which begins today. Nevertheless notices
we're read in all the mosques yesterday
enjoining the Turks not to modest peace
able Greeks, the war being matter be-
tween two armies, and not question to
be considered by individuals.
Izzet Bey was unexpectedly summoned
to Ylldiz Kiosk yesterday and it Is now
supposed that the sultan has reinstated
him rs his favorite and second secretary.
