Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. Is. - The AL

In the vilayet of Adrlanople appear to
be pursuing their usual tactics of burn
ing and plundering the villages and
killing the peasants instead of making
an attempt to break up the insrrgent
bands. Very little news is altering
through from Monastir, but all reports
agree that the position of the Chris
tians is desperate. The Turks are
making a clean sweep of the whole
Bulgarian element. The Albanian sol
diers in the vilayet of Adrianople are
stated to be entirely beyond control.
At Kostursco the influential heys COM
planned to the officers OF the excuses
committed by the troops. The officers
resented the criticism and told the
soldiers that the bAys were friends Of
the revolutionists, whereupon the sol
diers burned the bey's farms TIE

where is fleeing to the forests and

Black sea, was attacked by band and
is reported to have suffered loss OF
100 men. A band led by the insurgent
chief at Amazoff was surrounded by
Turkish troops at Kokushko. After
six hours fighting the Insurgents cut
their way through the soldiers by
throwing bombs. The Turks lost
twenty.
