bulgaria. AND sERyIA.
No Serious Fear Of An Uprising In
macedonia.


New York, April "a dispatch to tho
Herald from st. Petersburg says: The
Russian consul at Janina writes that it Is
untrue that he has been insulted by the
| Turkish troops, and that this story is
probably Greek invention.
| In reply TO the Greek assertions that
the Macedonians viii rise upon a declara-
tion OF war, the wish alone is father TO
the thought.
Tho prince of Bulgaria and Premier
Stoiloff are resolved that no risings shall
take place If they can help 1t.
1t is perfectly plain that in Bulgaria
there is a certain popular feeling every
spring toward stirring up n Macedonian
agitation, but it is said from thoroughly
reliable source that Stoion Is able to hold
his own against tho opposition party.
He considers that the wisest policy is to
support the prince and staunchly aid the
powers in the cause of peace now, In order
that Bulgaria may have stronger claim
later.
Servia is pledged to follow Bulgarias
lead. Only in case Of massacres taking
place would either of these two powers
move.
II is stated that the new governor of
Crete will be a Spanish official. The Novoo
Vremya pertnently says Russia and
England are agreed but there is once again
fatal delay in waiting for the assent of
the powers 1t Will be necessary to give the
new governor large military and financial
resources
All the details OF the Greek blockade are
arranged The emperor OF Austria's speech
is warmly approved here.
