LONDON, April AIN connection with

Agob, between Lamboi and Adrian
ople, correspondent in Macedonia
writes to The Pail Mall Gazette con-
corning the seething condition in the
Balkans. He says:
"Grave consequences cannot be de-
ferred much longer. The whole province
is armed and matters are rapidly drift
ing into open revolution. The people
are drilling for the coming struggle and
the country is virtually in, state Of
siege. Turkish troops have been
pouring into most of the dis
turbed districts, concentrating chiefly
in the north, and reinforcements
are arriving daily. Detachments guard
the Oriental railway from Salonica to
the Servian border, and the garrison
towns are packed with soldiers. There
is widespread impression throughout
the land that momentous events are i'm
pending. There is general feeling of
unrest everywhere, trade is at an abso-
lutte standstill and the Ottomans are
preparing in deadly earnest because they
are convinced that Bulgaria is at the
bottom of the trouble in Macedonia, and
will certainly actively support the ex-
pected rising, encouraged by Russian in
fuence. 1t is estimated that 100, 200 men
are under arms, ready for action in the
immediate repression of the rebellion.

PROBABLY UNCHANGED.

Absence of Advices From Otis Not Wor-
rying the Administration.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-No disap-
pointment was expressed at the war de-
partment because General Otis had
made no report. It was taken to mean
that things were progressing well and
conditions indicated in the last dis
patch continued. War department Off
Gals are firmly convinced that the back
bone Of the instruction is broken, and
that while there may be raids from time
to time by bands of marauders,, the
main body of the troops will surrender.
1t is said that when the Filipinos who
surrender find that they are well treat
ed and fed; that the wounded are cared
for, and food is sent to the suffering,
there will be less inclination to continue
hostilities Those who are SO treated
and sent to their homes, it is believed
will be missionaries among their people
in favor of the United States.

TURKS REPULSED.

They Attacked a Small Outpost on the
Bulgarian Frontier at Kozyl-Agob.
VIENNA, April "A serious collision
has taken place between Bulgarian and
Turkish frontier guards at Kozyl-Agob.
According to dispatch frcm Sofa,
capital of Bulgaria, the Turks attacked
weak Bulgarian outpost, but the
Bulgarians, aided by armed inhabitants,
repulsed their asailants after a four
hours fight. Both sides suffered losses
of killed and wounded.
The Turks, the dispatch says, were
seeking to secure position hitherto
held by the Bulgarians.
Kozyl-Agob, or Kisil-Agasc, is the
railway station nearest the Turkish
frontier in Bulgarian territory, and it
would be an important strategic point
for Turkey if she desired to pour troops
into Bulgaria.
