August 21.-The' correspondent

under yesterdays date:
When the Bulgarian bands en-.
tered Krushevo they occupied the
Greek quarter, hosting their
flag over a Greek house. The
Turkish troops arrived August
II. Allthe Komitajis had already
gone except about 400 local men.
Although no shot was fired from
the town, the Turks commenced
a bombardment which was con-
tlnued throughout August 13.
The shells destroyed 800 houses,
lis shops and all the fine, large
Greek and V1ach (Wallchian)
houses. The Greek churches
and schools were destroyed.
The Bulgarians quarter escaped.
The Turks entered the town
August14, pillaged all the houses,
assaulted many of the women,
stripped many persons naked
and killed about three hundred
local Rulgarians and also sixty
innocent Greeks and Vlachis.
About 5000 people are home
less and starving,
The material damage done a.
mounts to several million francs,
The Turks, August19, massacred
200 Bu1garians who surrendered
at village near Monastir.
, Turkey will go to war if too
hard pressed.

there was no ordinance against

men seemed to take great delight
IN the privilege, that is denied
them in other towns, and use
their whistles to talk to each

seem to use the whistle to save
wear and tare of the safety valve.
All the surplus steam and MANY
hundred pounds that was not

public that they were at the

not to realize that the abuse of
the privilege must result in it's
