HoRRoR FOLLOWS HoRRoR.
Situation in Macedonia Fast Becom-
ing Intolerable.

Sofia. Aug. 24.-With the rumors or
massacres and the murder Of prisoners
in MOnastir now authenticated, the
general situation is considered here as
fast becoming intOlerable. Official and
diplomatic circles alike are concerned,
having every reason TO fear that part
of the horrors enacted in the interior
of Macedonia have not come to light
as yet.
The revolutionary committees are DO
ing their utmost TO force the hands OF
the Bulgarian government, and the
immediate outlook is exceedingly serl-
Gus.
1t appears that the Turks have OBJ
tanned the upper hand in the vilayet OF
Monastir, and the insurgents are plan
ming to remove the center Of their &C
tivity close to the Bulgarian frontiers.
Dispatches arriving today from the dis
turbed area are exceedingly gloomy.
From AdrianOple comes the news Of
Turkish defeat and the extension Of
the revolutionary outbreak; from Mon
astir comes the news of Turkish vic
tories accompanied by barbarous eX-
cesses.
While many Of the reports remain
without confirmation. sufficient anthem
tic details are forthcoming to cause
the authorities the gravest anxiety Ac-
cOrding to the Sofia DneVenik. the
4
at KrushevO.
The mutilated corpses of ninety wo-
men and children were found in one
building; pieces of the bodies had been
thrown into the street. Fifteen Of the
principal merchants of the town were
killed and their heads exhibited on
poles at MOnastir. The churches were
demolished, the houses sacked and the
town is now a heap Of aches. The
populace fled to the hills, where they
are in a starving condition. The Dnev-
enik also asserts that a general mas
sacre has taken place in the whole
viayet of Monastir Nearly all the
villages have been destroyed. The
treacherous murder of eighty insursent
prisoners by their guards has made
an especially bad impression here.
Many rumors are current Of massa-
ores in the city of Adrianople. but con-
hrmatiOn is lacking The situation
there undoubtedly is serious The pop
ulation is afraid to leave the houses.
The prisons are full and the vail has
taken private houses to be used as
iails When the Russian consul pro-
tested at the situation. the vail is re-
ported to have answered that he was
powerless against the fanatical pOpu-
latiOn.
