Bulgaria Issues a Note Ap-
preaching an Ultimatum.
Says They Must Call Off Turk
ish Dogs of War.
CAN TAKE NO CHANCES.
Must Prepare to Defend Herself
Unless This Is Done.
Has No Intention of Being
Taken by Surprise.

Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. 15-F'ollowing
are some of the points in a note which
Bulgaria has just presented to the
powers:
What the Bulgarian government had
foreseen as expressed in it's note of June
20. of the development of affairs in Tur-
key has become amply verified. The
Turkish government is Systematically
annihilating the Bulgarian people
THE mobilization and concentration
of such great forces in European Tur-
key, under the pretext of suppressing
the revolution, gives Bulgaria reason to
suppose that at an opportune moment
she will be attacked by Turkey.
THE Bulgarian government can no
longer remain Indifferent to the presence
of such situation which is of a nature
calculated to bring about hostile col
hsion between Turkey and Bulgaria
IF the great powers do not take
measures to give the sublime porte
counsel of wisdom and of moderation
the Bulgarian government will be
obliged to take the necessary steps to be
ready for every eventuality and to not
be taken by surprise"
