VILLAGES ALL IN ASHES
Greatest Danger Lies In Proximity Of
the Outbreak to the Bulgarian Fron-
tier and Danger Of Clash BE.
tween the Two Armies
(By Associated Prcss.)

SOFIA, August 2l.-All the dispatches
received here to-day Indicate that the
revolution in Macedonia ID spreading,
in official circles The most alarming
news relates to the outbreak covering
considerable area In the eastern part Of
the Adrianople vilayet. where the insur-
gents have captured the town OF vasIhko,
They took tho chief Turkish officials
prisoners and brought them to tho Bull
garian frontier, where they liberated
them.
The Turkish Huials. fearing to return
to Vasiliko. sought refuge OF the Bull
gnrian authorities, who sent them to a
hotel In tBurgas. where they are at liberty
10, remain or, depart The insurgents
burned the villages behind vas1iko and
attacked a Turkish military post at the
Monastery OF Elijah, south OF Tirnoyo
The eastern part OF the Adrdanople villa
yet Is d mountainous region. and the VII
lagos are few and scattered. The strength
of the insurgents Is unknown. 1t IS
thought that he outbreak Is not an or
ganized movement, but Is intended as
diversion to draw the Turkish troops
from the other districts.
The peculiar danger OF the latest out
break lies in dts proximity to the Bull
barian frontier thus creating situation
long foreseen and dreaded by the Sofian
government. Tho Turks are now certain
to send considerable force to this terri:
tory to suppress the outbreak. which VII
nccessitate the strengthening OF the Bull
garian troops along tho frontier With
the two armies close to each other under
the present strained relations, the silva
ton becomes extremely delicate. The
Bulgarian government is taking every
possible step to prevent calamity, but
the officials express the greatest con-
Germ. ,
The insurgents completely burned Vasil-
Ike and also twelve villages In the neigh
borhood. The Bulgarian officials ar
ested the insurgents who brought the
Turkish officials at Vaslliko TO the Bu1-
garian frontier.
Severe fighting Is reported to be pro
ceedtng near Gehgele. with heavy losses
on both sides.
Tho Sofia Dnevjnjk declares that al
