 Sofia. Bulgaria. Aug. 1s.-General Tzoncheff, president of the Macedonian committee. and his friend, Colonel Jan koff. both of whom are ex-officers in the Bulgarian army, have been arrest ed by the Bulgarian police near the Macedonian frontier under suspicion that they were on their way to join the revolutionists.
