sofia. Bulgaria, Aug. 1.-THE Bull
earian Foreign Office has received very
6isouieting news from its agent at
1-sk,Ib. The Mussulmans there are
daily gathering in the mosques and it
Is feared that a massacre of the Chris
1ians is impending
officials here express the belief that
the intervention OF the Powers alone
can prevent disaster.
The whole Bulgarian government
takes a decidedly pessimistic view of
the situation, and the officials openly
express their fears that a general mas
sacre of the Christians in Macedonia
is inevitable-possibly within four
DAYS and almost certainly within a
fortnight.
Meanwhile the government continues
to maintain its peaceful attitude, but 1t
believes that a sudden development Of
affairs across the border may at any
moment render the authorities power
less to prevent war.
Massacre Expected.
The reports from Bulgarian official
agents in Macedonia show that affairs
are rapidly growing worse The fact
that the Mussulman population is be-
coming excited and congregating in
the mosques is regarded as a bad fea-
ture indicating the possibility that
massacre may occur within a very
short time.
1t is everywhere declared that the
present ministry is doing it's utmost
to check the revolutionary movement,
but the situation is reaching a point
where circumstances may prove too
strong for the cabinet. The growing
economic depression in the country
constitutes a dangerous factor in the
situation. The commercial classes de-
clare that the present condition of af-
fairs is no longer endurable.
