Summary of Turkish Situation
From an English Standpoint.

London, Sept. The Balkan situa-
tion shows no signs of improvement.
Indeed in Constantinople, it is now
thought that war between Turkey and
Bulgaria is inevitable, but the Tur-
kish ambassador in London insists that
hostilities can only result from an overt
act on the part Of Bulgaria. The Sofia
Government, on the other hand, pre-
serves strict neutrality. as advised by
Russia and Austria. The announce
ment today of Bulgaria's attitude
caused an optimistic tone in the papers
and the market for foreign bonds and
Government securities became much
6rmer. Roumania, too, is enforcing
neutrality, in compliance with the ad-
vice Of Russia, having taken measures
to suppress the Macedonian agitators
within her borders.
The Pope's refusal to appeal to the
powers to act, save in the direction OF
stopping the massacres in the Balkans,
is accepted as evidence that even the
Holy See appreciates the inadvisability
of intervening as this time.
Turkey is largely increasing the
number of her troops in Macedonia,
in spite of her depleted treasury, and
is determined to suppress the revolu'
tion before the Powers can intervene.
In the vilayet of Monastir the rising
has been ruthlessly suppressed, the
Turks having burned many villages ano
committed grave eXcesses.
