INSURGENTS TAKE VAsitlko.
Officials Captured, Taken to bulgarian
Frontier and Liberated.

Sofia, Aug. 22.-All dispatches re.
ceived here indicate that the revolu
ton in Macedonia is spreading. The
situation is causing intense anxiety in
official circles. The most alarming
news relates to an outbreak covering
considerable area in the eastern
part of the Adrianople vilayet, where
the insurgents have captured the towE
OF Vasiliko They took the chief Tur.
kish officials prisoners and brought
them to the Bulgarian frontier, where
they liberated them. The Turkish
officials, fearing to return to Vasiliko
sought refuge of the Bulgarian author
tiles, who sent them to hotel in Burr
gas, where they are at liberty to rel
main or depart. The insurgents
burned Vasiliko and twelve other vil'
lagos, and attacked Turkish milts
tary post at the monastery of Elijah,
south Of Tirnovo.
The peculiar danger Of the latest
outbreak lies in its proximity to the
Bulgarian frontier, thus creating a sit.
uation long foreseen and dreaded by
the Sofia government. The Turks are
now certain to send a considerable
force to this territory to suppress the
outbreak, which will necessitate the
strengthening of the Bulgarian troops
along the frontier. With the two
armies close to each other under the
present strained relations, the situa
ton becomes extremely desperate.
The Bulgarian government Is taking
every possible step to prevent a calst
amity, but the officials express the
greatest concern.
In addition to the danger of a col
lision between the military forces,
there is danger of popular excitement
getting beyond control and forcing
the government to adopt a belligerentv
attitude.
A Sofia newspaper declares that all
the Turkish vilayets in Macedonia will
be In full revolt August 2S, and that
the revolution is spreading from Sa
lonica into the districts towards Sores.

HEAD WAS PARTIALLY SEVERED.
Clinton Man, Murdered in Minnesota,
Was Stabbed from Behind.


Clinton, August 22.-Further partic-
ulars received here relative to the
murder at Winona of Newton Hellyer
of this city, are in effect that the man
was pounded on the head with some
blunt instrument and that his head had
been partly severed from his body,
presumably with a pocket knife, from
behind. 1t is thought robbery was
the motive, as no valuables were found
on his person.
There is no clue to the perpetrators
of the crime. It was two weeks ago
yesterday that Hellyer left his home
in this city. He did not say where
he was going. He was not heard from
again until the message was received
bearing information Of his tragic
death.

Sir Thomas and Hotel Manager
4ngrg OUer False Report.

Sir Thomas Upton seldom gets excited or DIS
plays any temper. but he was thoroughly
worked up yesterday concerning the published
report that he ordered down an Irish flag that
formed a part of the decorations at the dinner
given in his honor at the Oriental Hotel at
Manhattan Beach, e few nights ago
ii is a lie from beginning to end said Sir
Thomas, hotly. The first 1 ever knew of 1t
was when newspaper man showed me the
story in a paper this morning. How can they
print such things when 1t would have been so
easy to have found out from the hotel just what
happened? 1t would have been piece OF i'm
pertinence on my part after being invited to
dine in a mans house. to criticise any part
of the decoration of anything else If man did
that in my house he would go out of 1t and
never come back. Besides, you all know could
not do such thing. 1 wouldn't do it. I'd rather
cut off my right arm than do it, Besides, love
the Irish flag as we'll any in the world. Why
shouldn't 1, when many of my best friends are
Irish?"
Here Sir Thomas sent for silk Irish flag pre-
sented to him by Miss Finnegan.
There said he look! There is an Irish
flag given to by pretty young lady the
other day. Isn't it pretty. with it's harp and
Erin Go Bragh' on it? No. you say for me.
and make it strong, that such incident ever
happened"
Manager ]. P. Greaves of the Oriental Hotel
was asked last night what foundation there
for the story. You may say from me- said he
that no such thing happened either be-
fore or during the dinner to Sir Thomas There
never was a Irish flag in the room. The only
decoration was the Stars and Stripes and the
English flag. The story a lie, and If
catch the penny-a-liner who wrote it he will
make more trouble for any Of US It's a
shame that paper will print such trash with
out an investigation, and am extremely sorry
If Sir Thomas has suffered any inconvenience
from it,
After the races Sir Thomas intends to go to
Chicago for short time. He received from
Governor Francis of Missouri yesterday a tee-
gram informing him that special car had been
provided to take him from here to ST. Louis
