PLANT UNEARTHED
In Shoemaker's Shop in Sa-
lonica, Connected Under
ground With Bank.
PLAN TO BLOW UP THE TOWN
Principal Districts Had Been Mined Pre-
paratory to Simultaneous Destruction
Two Hundred Turks Killed In Battle at
Logodasch.

Salonica. European Turkey, May 4.
The number of Bulgarians killed
during the recent dynamite riots is
now estimated at 100
A complete bomb making plant has
been discovered in a shoemaker's shop
communicating by an underground
passage with the Ottoman bank. II
is feared that the presence of the
three Austrial warships which have
arrived here will encourage the Bull
garians to irritate the Turks, who, up
to the present time, have behaved
well.
Paris, May A dispatch received
here from Salonica says the police in
their search for persons suspected of
being concerned in the outrages there
discovered that the revolutionists had
mined the principal districts of the
town with the intention of blowing
them up simultaneously but circum-
stances forced them to act before their
preparations had been completed and
the planned disaster was averted
The Turkish population, however,
is dangerously infiamed. 1t is esti-
mated that 500 persons are dead as
the result of the outbreaks. One
thousand arrests have been made.
Vienna, May Alt is said here that
in consequence of the Salonica out
RACES, the Turkish government will
address a memorandum to the great
powers, accusing Bulgaria of respon-
sibility for the recent happenings in
Macedonia 1t Is further asserted
that Turkey will bring forcible pres
sure to bear against the principality
~ mt aid tho rpVOltY-
tionary movement.
On the other hand the Bulgarians
declare that their government has
been deeply affected by these out
RACES, which it feels have damaged
The Macedonian government but that
it is poweriess against the Macedonian
desperadoes.
In official circles here indignation is
expressed at Turkeys negligence in
falling to take precautions to prevent
the outrages, particularly as the au-
thorities had been warned that some
thing of the kind was expected.
London. May A dispatch to the
Morning Leader from Sofia describes
a battle between Turks and insurgents
at Logodasch. The Turks were de-
feated with loss of six officers and
200 men killed.
London May 4.--Owing to the ex-
listing censorship it is still impossible
to obtain reliable news from Salonica.
The reports of general massacre
there probably are exaggerated, but
the statements that several hundred
were killed emanated from various
points including Constantinople, where
it is alleged also that Turkey has de-
cided to send an ultimatum to Bull
garia. Two Italians warships have
arrived al Salonica, and the porte,
fearing that foreign troops will be
landed mas requested Austria to
withdraw her squadron.
1t is reported from Uskub, Euro
pean Turkey. that the Turks are hold
ing meetings in the mosques and dis
cussing a general massacre of the
Christian population in the event of
dynamite outrages, which, according
to prisoners in Salonica, have been
planned 10 occur at Constantinople,
Uskub and Adrianople.
Albaniaus have plundered several
Servian villages near Prizren, Tur-
key. The Turkish troops made no at
tempt to hinder them.
