nothing can prevail against it. Prepa
rations for a great rising are pro
ceeding quite openly Four hundred
officers in the Bulgarian army are ask
ing for prolonged leave. which viii

rising In Macedonia. II Is reiterated
that seven bands, aggregating 5000
men, already have been formed The
three largest bands are led by Colo
nels Yankof. Sarafoff and Sontohef
respectively These bands will spread
throughout Macedonia under daring
leaders. and it is calculated that they
will soon be reinforced a hundred fold
The unusually mild weather now
prevailing in the Balkans is held to
favor an early outbreak. the only DIFF
ficulty being the lack of funds. which
1t is intended to overcome by the
forcible levy of patriotic tax on
Macedonians. II is further assorted
that if Bulgaria is unsuccessful she is
assured of Russian support

BULGARIA APPEALS.
Asks Powers to Procure Cessation of
Turkish Military Activity.

IuVk'Sn MIltary ACTIVITY.
Sofa, Feb. 1O.-Having received Of.
fcial information regarding Turkeys
decision to mobilize two army sorps at
Adrianople and Monastir the Bul-
garian government has addressed rep
reservations to the powers. invoking
their good offices at Constantinople to
procure the cessation Of the Turkish
military preparations.
It is felt here that while Turkey s
reinforcement of her troops in Mace
donia may be justified. in view Of the
internal situation and the Austro-Ser-
Wan military preparations, the mob
ilization at Adrianople can be regard
ed only as menace to Bulgaria. 1t
is stated that the government will re-
frain from any counter demonstration
and only mobilize the Bulgarian army
in the case of extreme necessity, it be-
ing fully realized that even success
ful conflict with Turkey would mean
financial ruin to Bulgaria.
Paris, Feb. 10.-The Turkish embas
sy here has issued a statement saying
it is authorized to formally deny the
reported mobilization of troops in the
European provinces Of the Turkish
empire

TiAL TREATMENT.
PROTOCOLS ARE UNSIGNED
Mr.. Bowen Refuses to Honor Docu-
ments With His Signature Until
They Are Relieved Of the Objection
tives Believe Their Foreign Offices
Have Misunderstood Phases of Case.

Washington. Feb lO.-Although Mr..
Bowen and the other negotiators are
closely guarding the provisions of the
several protocols, it is understood that
the demands which are known to ex-
ist in the German and Italian agree
ments as they are at present drafted.
which Mr.. Bowen cannot agree to.
concern an increased payment by
Venezuela prior to the handing down
Of The Hague's decision regarding the
allies contention for preferential con-
sideration in the settlement OF their
claims. 1t is reported that Germany
asks that she receive in addition to
the $27 500 cash that Mr. Bowen has
agreed to pay, certain percentage Of
the customs receipts until the remain
der Of the $4,000 demanded in the
original ultimatum addressed by Ger
manv to President CastrtOsast autumn
is paid.
Italy, 1t is believed, is insisting on
similar demand, though the amount
asked for IN her ultimatum was over
$500000. Both Germany and Italy
suggest that this money be paid in
monthly installments out of the GUS
toms duties, but even unGer this ar
rangement it would require eight
months for the payment of the entire
sums.
Objects to the Principle.
II is the principle. however. to which
Mr.. Bowen so strenuously obpects. and
which he has informed the German
and Italian envoys he cannot sub
scribed to. Until their protocols are re-
lieved of these Objectionable demands,
Mr. Bowen says that they must remain
unsigned. He contends that Germany
and Italy are insisting on preferential
treatment. a question which they agree
in their protocols shall go to The
Hague.
| 1t is the firm opinion Of both the
italian ambassador and the German
! minister that the insertion in their
protocols OF these demands is the re-
suit of serious misunderstanding on
the part Of their foreign Offices of Ger
tain phases of the negotiations which
were supposed to be settled. They
are using every effort to have thi;
misunderstanding cleared up and have
informed Mr. Bowen they hope to sub
NIT their conventions to him in a few
days.
Mr. Bowen has made it plain to th'
allies representatives that he is viii
ing to consider any reasonable re
quests they may advance but that h
will not yield to the extent of sisnin;

think the matter was properly before

Senator Lavayea maintained that it
was not the intent of the trainers of
the constitution to have districts made

no trades, nor was he approached with
any offers. The Fifth district had not

segregated from the Fifth and added
to the Sixth. He hoped the report of
the committee would be adopted.

on one side and Salvador and Hondu-
ras on the other.
According to previous dispatches
from Panama. Guatemala and Saliva
dor were on the point of war at the
beginning of this month. The Saliva
dorean and Guatemalan armies, com.
manded by their respective presidents,
Generals Regalado and Cabrera. were
on the frontier. accompanied by revo-
lutionary refugees. Troops were con-
stantly leaving the capital of Saliva
dor, San Salvador, for the Guatemalan
grontier. Nicaragua was actively help
ing General Regalado, president OF
Salvador. The Nicaraguan cruiser
Momotombo had landed at Acajutla,
Salvador, 1900 rifles and 100000
rounds Of ammunition, which Presi-
dent Zelaya of Nicaragua had sent for
the Guatemalan revolutionists. Hon
duras also was said to be acting with
Salvador and Nicaragua in opposition
to Guatemala.
It seemed that the movement. ac-
cording to the Panama dispatches,
was the outcome of the congress OF
the Central American Republics at
Corinto, Nicaragua, last year. at which
a treaty was drawn up and subsequent
ly signed providing for arbitration Of
every disagreement between the re-
publics. While the congress was be-
ing held,

! but that Guatemala had refused to
participate.

reported to be aimed against Guate-
mala in consequence of her attitude
at the Corinto congress. and against
| Costa Rca. which is supposed to
sympathize with Guatemala. Central
American union would be the osten-
sible object of the expected war, the
real motive for which. according to
Panama advices, was that the presl-
dents of Salvador, Nicaragua and Hon
duras wished TO follow MeXico's pre-
cedent and establish federative re-
public of the Central American states
The Central American situation is
further complicated by the interven
ton of Guatemala on one side and

while Nicaragua and Salvador insist
that the retiring president of Hondu
