Paris Report Disquieting.

Paris Sept l1.--Reports received by
the foreign office here from CONSTANT
nope say there is renewed agitation
among the Mussulmans within the city
and fears are expressed Of possibl,
Mussulman attack on the Christian
population. This agitation followed the
appearance In the Turkish papers of
accounts Of the Bulgarlans dynamiting
trains and blowing up the steamboat
Vaskapu, The government considered
that official sanction of the publication
OF the news was the best means to
avoid exaggerated stories OF the ey-
plosIons, as the government had rigor-
ously suppressed any mentions OF ex-
poslons during the past 20 years tho
recent publication caused widespread
agitation. The official report says the
Mussulmans are eager to avenge the
outrages and states that the feeling Il
80 intense that II the Bulgarians CON-
nit any further destruction the Mus
sulmans are likely to take redress by
attacking the Christian population.
Earnest representations on the subject
have been made TO the porte which has
given assurances that all precautions
VIII be taken. and has reiterated IT'S
confidence that It will be able to con-
tr0l the situation,
