MACEDONIAN AFFAIRS

Vienna Fears 1t May Cause
War Between Turkey and
Bulgaria

-.s..aa, Aug. S.-One Of the gravest
features OF the Macedonian situation
rs seen here is the danger that It may
lead TO war between Turkey and Bull
garia. The feeling is so strong In Bull
garia that IL is feared that Prince Fer
dinand might be faced with the alter
native Of declaring war or abdicating.
Tho recent rumors cf q rovolution at
Sofia, Bulgaria. are quite uniounded
but nevertheless Ferdinand's position
is dificult as regards hi1 relations not
only with mis- own people. but with
Russia and Turkey also.
No doubt Prince Ferdinand has cal
culatcd all the risks, and his tempera-
ment Is SUCH MS TO induce him to as
sumo a patriotic role and declare war
rather thar share the fate of the late
King Alexander of Servia. For these
reasons the powers which do not de-
sire the om5roilment of Europe will
seek 20 localize the insurrection TO en-
able Turkey to suppress it, 1t is as
