THE QUESTION OF WATER MAINS
East Lake City Council Considers a
 New Ordinance.

At the regular meeting of the city council of East Lake on Tuesday night the most important matter that was considered was the waterworks ordi. nance, which will be placed on its final reading at the next meeting of the board.

SITUATION HAS
 BECOME CRAVE
Bulgarian Foreign Office Alarm ed at Reports of Disturbances
MASSACRE IS lMMINEN I
Government Takes PesslmlstIe View and Thinks Slaughter of Christians In Macedonia lnevltable-Tur-
 key Blamed for Outbreak.

Sofia, Bulgaria, August 12.-The Bulga- rian foreign office has received very dis- quieting news from it's agent at Uskub. The Mussulmans there are daily gather ing in the mosques, and 1t is feared that a massacre of the Christians is impend- ing.
 Officials here express the belief that the intervention of the powers alone can prevent disaster,
 The most astonishing feature of the situation here Is the remarkable quietude with which the people have received the news of the fresh fighting in Macedonia. The whole outbreak came as a great sur prise, even to the local revolutionary committees, which are not prepared for so early an uprising In spite of the stir ring appeal of the committee, little or no popular enthusiasm is apparent, not even among the 10000 Macedonian resi- dents of Sofia. How long this condition will last. depends largely on the devel- opments in Macedonia. At present the center of disturbances is Monastir, long way off. Should the rising spread to the vlllayet of Uskub, and come near to the Bulgarian frontier, it is probable that the population of Bulgaria will become aroused.

View Is Pesslmlstic.


 The whole Bulgarian government takes a decidedly pessimistic view of the situa- tion and the officials openly express their fears that a general massacre of Chris tians in Macedonia Is inevitable, possibly within four days, and almost certainly within a fortnight. Meanwhile. the goy- ernment continues to maintain it's peace ful attitude, but it believes that sud- den development of affairs across the border may at any moment render the authorities powerless to prevent war.
 The reports from Bulgarian official agents in Macedonia show that affairs are rapidly growing worse. The officials here blame Turkey for the sudden out break, attributing it largely to the action of the porte in instituting a search for arms in the villagers. The Macedonian leaders. finding that their followers were being deprived of guns and ammunition, realized that they might soon be rendered powerless to prosecute a campaign, and decided to rise immediately.
 The government also charges Turkey with doing less to prevent the insurgents from crossing the frontier than Bulgaria, though Turkey maintains four times as many troops along the border. The Turk ish soldiers invariably retire to bar racks at sunset and remain there until sunrise, leaving free egress to the Mace donian insurgents during the night. The Turks fight bravely during day light. but dislike slzirmishing in the dark.
 Ministry Is Active.
 It is everywhere declared that the pres ent ministry is doing it's utmost to check the revolutionary movement, but the slt- uation is reaching a point where circum- stances may prove too strong for the cab inet. The growing depression in the country constitutes dangerous factor in the situation. The merchants are unable to obtain credit abroad and are forced to pay cash. The influx of thousands of Macedonians across the border has dis organized the labor market and has be- come series of great diseontent
 Representatives of the Macedonian com mttee say the Roumanian and the Greek inhabitants of number of villages have joined the insurgents and that the Mo hammedans are taking refuge in the cities and towns.
 It Is stated that Ferdinand will spend next Saturday, the anniversary of his &C., cession to the throne, with his family in Hungary.

TO BE FAIR AND COLD TO-DAY.
No Snow and Slight Freeze Pre-
dicted for Christmas.

Fair and colder weather is promised for
to-day by the local forecaster. The mini
mum temperature last night was above
the freezing point, and it is not expected
it will be much colder to-day. No snow is
in sight. The winds will be fresh and
westerly.
The disturbance that was in the South
west on Wednesday, has moved to the
Lake region. This storm has given general
rains in the Ohio and Mississippi valleys
and the West Gulf States, and snow on
the east slope of the Rocky Mountains.
The temperature has fallen in the rear
OF this storm, but as yet no decided cold
wave has developed in the West and
Northwest. Higher temperature Is re-
Of the Mississippi River and In the north
ern Rocky Mountain region. The lowest
temperature reported in the United States
yesterday was at Lander, Wyo., where
zero.
