following statement to the Sofia, Bull

IF I could send my troops across the

word from the commander of our troops

moving toward the frontier, and on the
frontier itself I have placed military
guard. If the brigands were on our ter.

them. Ours and the Turkish troops are
now searching in the Perrin mountains,
where, unlike Bulgaria proper, there
are no villages and only few scattered
houses in the mountains If my troops
find the brigands we will make short
