which was recently seized by the insur-
gents. A force OF 1900 troops besieged the
place and bombarded 1t with artillery.
The fighting with the revolution.sts Is still
proceeding outside the town.
Consular adviccs from Monastir and Sa-
lon!ca indorse the belief that any overt
movement in those towns on the part of the
revolutionary committees will lead to mas
sacre Of the Bulgarian inhabitants by the
Mussulmans.
The panic continues at Monastir. where
the shops are closed.
A settlement of the indemnity for the
murder of NJ. Rostkovski, the Russian Con-
sui at Monastir. is imminent. The Govern
ments offer of $4,000 to the widow APP
pears to be satisfactory to Russia.
Dispatches received by the Porte give par
ticulars of number of encounters with in
surgents. The latter attacked the village OF
Gumenke. throwing bombs in it. but the
eign Office has demanded from the Porte
protection for the Consuls and foreign resi-
dents at Monastir. The Grand Vizier has
promised effective measures of protection.
The MUSEUM in the disturbed area are
perSistentiy demanding arms and anmuni-
ton 10 protect themselves against the
Christians. This is considered a dangerous
factor in the situation.
