ton in Macedonia is spreading. The
situation is causing intense anxiety
In official circles The most alarming
news relates to an outbreak covering
a considerable area in the eastern part
of the Adrianople vilayet, where the
insurgents have captured the town OF
Vasiliko. They took the chief Turkish
officials prisoners and brought them to
the Bulgarian frontier, where they lib
Grated them The Turkish officials,
fearing to return to Vasiliko, sought
refuge of the Bulgarian authorities,
who sent them to hotel in Buregas,
where they are at liberty to remain of
depart. The insurgents burned the
villages behind Vasiliko and attacked
a Turkish military post at the monas-
terry of Elijah, south of Tirnovo.
The eastern part of the Adrianople
vilayet is mountainous region and
the villages are few and scattered. The
strength of the insurgents is unknown.
1t is thought that the outbreak is not
an organized movement, but is intend
cd as diversion to draw the Turkish
troops from the other districts.
Two Armies May Meet.
The peculiar danger of the latest
outbreak lies in it's proximity to the
Bulgarian frontier, thus creating q
situation long foreseen and dreaded
by the Sofia government. The Turks
are now certain to send consider
able force to this territory to suppress
the outbreak, which will necessitate
the strengthening of the Bulgarian
troops along the frontier. With the
two armies close to each other, under
the present strained relations the sit
uation becomes extremely delicate.
The Bulgarian government is taking
every possible step to prevent calam-
ity, but the officials express the great
est concern.
In addition to the danger of col
lision between the military forces,
there is no smaller one of popular ex-
forcing the government to adopt a
belligerent attitude Meanwhile the
country remains quiet, even the Mace
DOMAIN part of the population showing
no particular anxiety or enthusiasm.
The insurgents completely burned
vasiliko and also IL villages in the
Reighborhood The Bulgarian officials
arrested the insurgents who brought
the Turkish officials at Vasiliko to the
Bulgarian frontier
Severe Fighting Reported.
Severe fighting is reported to be
proceeding near Gehgele, with heavy
losses on both sides.

district of Voden, southeast from Mon

tants are hiding their property, The

Russia's move In sending warships
to Turkish waters has caused surprise
in diplomatic circles and disapproval
and regret in government quarters
The feeling expressed here is that it
can only do harm in inclinging the in
surgents. who are ignorant of the COM
plications of European politics. to the
belief that Russia is supporting their
cause against the Turks. It is also
conjectured that Russia, having ap-
parently acted without first consult
ing Austria. some rift has occurred in
the concert of powers. Whatever may
be the true explanation, the feeling
here is that Russia's move can only
have the effect of giving a great i'm
petus to the revolutionary movement
