Bulgarians have been subjected to il
Macedonia reveals a state of affairs
similar to that which existed in Armenia.
1t says that village after village has been
surrounded by the Turkish army, that
wholesale arrests have been made and
that tbs prisoners have been subjected to
unheard of fortunes. The note further
gives list of the villages and tho names
of the victims to whom torture has been
applied School masters, it appears, have
been the special object of fortunes. The
following tortures are recited in the official
document, and in each case the name of
the victim is given:
Hot irons thrust into mouths; legs
broken; splinters driven under the nails;
naked feet placed on hot stoves; hanged
by the feet for fifteen hours; tied to
horses tails; beaten to death; hanged by
the feet over fires.
A priest of the village of Zernovtzi was
hung by the feet for three hours and than
by the arms for fourteen hours. A cowl
was bound tightly around his head. All
the prisoners at Kumanovia were beaten
until their flesh flew off in strips. The
women were outraged.

The horrible explosion on the battleship
Maine, and the mystery surrounding its
cause recall wildly the explosion at
Bremerhaven, Germany. on Dec. II, 1876.
The North German Lloyd steamer Mosel
was lying at her wharf, about to sail for
New York. She was laden with freight
and had embarked her passengers, whose
luggage was just coming aboard. AS she
was about to move into the sea, q cart
containing four cases and barrel was
unloaded for shipment, and suddenly the
terrible explosion occurred. The wharf
was thronged with people, and nearly
every one was either killed or wounded.
The air was filled with fragments of
human bodies; the ship was smeared
with blood, the cabins were torn open and
the skylights and port windows smashed;
and even the iron plates on the ships side
were wrenched or bent. On the spot
where the wagon had been unloaded a
hole was torn in the wharf about seven
feet deep. Not less than 1876 persons were
killed and Sc wounded, including thirty
who were MANNED for life.
An investigation showed that a man by
the name of William King Thompson,
who was generally known as Thomassen,
was responsible for the shipment which
had apparently caused the explosion. On
his arrest confession was drawn from
him that he had procured heavy insur-
ance on goods to be shipped in the Mosel
and that he had concealed in one of his
larger pao kages an internal machine con-
tanning large quantity of dynamite and
n clookwork apparatus SO set as to explode
the package after the ship was about three
days out He had ordered the barrel in
which the internal machine was packed of
a cooper, whose testimony was SO corrob-
oratiye of Thomassen's as to leave no
doubt of its truth. The police found also
a mechanic named Fuchs, who had made
the clockwork for Thomassen on the rep
resentation that Thomassen was silk
manufacturer and that the machinery was
intended to shred silk fibres.
Insuring and destroying cargoes was
Thomassen's regular business. and he had
caused several less serious explosions be-
fore. He committed suicide. and in that
way escaped the gallows. The curious
feafure in Thomassen' makeup was his
great domestioity. His wife was refined
and accomplished woman of high social
Dosition in Jleipsic and Dresden, and to
her and her children he had always
seemed intensely devoted
