A TURKISH MASSACRE.
POpuEation of Kast0rfa Reported to
 Have Been Slaughtered.

POpukA610m or MA@tOrtA Reported to
 Have Been Slaughtered.
 SOFIA, Bulgaria, Sept. 18.-The for eign office here has received reliable in formation that the Turks have de- destroyed the town of Kastoria, thirty six miles south of Monastir, and have massacred the population. a
 The report of the massacre comes from sources admitting of little doubt, though the details are lacking. It has been received with the gravest concern by the officials here.
 The population of Kastoria was about 10000, and the massacre of such a number in one place, if the report is true exceeds anything which has yet occurred in Macedonia. At the present critical moment, when popular feeling is intense, the effect of the report of such stupendous slaughter may beTmost serious.
