NO UPRISING AT. PRESENT
Balkan Insurgents w - for a
More Favorable I'm
TO strike. - a.

NEW YORK, March 2O-Interesting eide
lights are thrown upon the Balkan situa-
tion in interviews had with Dimity Liapoff
here. says 4 dispatch from Sofia. Bulgaria,
to the Tribune.
According to letters received by Presi-
dent sarafoff Of the revolutionary bands in
Macedonia and by Dimity Liapoff, who acts
as his agent here, the insurgents have de-
cided TO postpone a general movement and
await developments. However, the revo-
lutionists intend to drag Europe by the
nose into interference in the affairs in
Macedonia.
NJ Liopff admitted that the Turks were
controlling themselves and acting under
better discipline than formerly and for
this reason he said it would be a waste Of
men and ammunition to institute a general
uprising. since the representatives OF the
powers would say that the revolutlonists
would not allow the Turks to introduce re-
forms.
He added, significantly, that when
Europe had turned her eyes elsewhere and
the Turk had begun to laugh in his sleeve
at his success in outwitting the powers
and was repeating his old tactics, the
revolutionary bands would resume opera
tions and harass him in the hope OF Great
ing another crisis and producing a moral
shock to the civilized world.

KEENE WILL NOT PAY TAX
New York specuIator starts Legal
Battle that May Have Far
Reaching Effects.

NEW YORK. March 20.-Jamea R. Keene
and the city of New York are engaged in
an interesting legal battle which may have
far-reaehing effects on the question Of the
payment of personal taxes.
Mr. Keene is to be the first man examined
under the new method OF supplementary
proceeding He is to be summoned to court
and examined in detail as to his property.
The corporation counsel contends that Mr..
Keene owes the city S1,T87 for personal
taxes for 1901.
Mr.. Keene has Informed the corporation
counsel that he will not pay this tax be-
cause in that year he was a resident OF
Hampstead, Nassan county.
AS soon as the lawyers of the department
for the collection Of arrears on personal
property heard of Mr.. Keene's defiance they
served notice that II he did not pay the
city would compel him to be examined in
supplementary proceeding.
In reply to this lawyers representing Mr.
Keene called at the ONCE of Martin SAKE
who is at the head Of this branch OF the
tax department, announcing that Mr.. Keene
would fight out in the courts the payment
OF the taxes.
