FROM COTTON AND LElsHmAN.
Navy and State Departments Receive
Cableqrams.

Washington, Sept. 9.-Cablegrams
were received at the state and navy
departments during the day from Min
lister Leislman at Constantinople and
Admiral Cotton, commanding the
American squadron now in Turkish
waters, respectively, giving an account
of the riot which occurred at Beirut
Sunday. 1t was stated at the navy
department that no new instructions
had gone to Admiral Cotton in conse-
Quence of the days reports. 1nstruc-
tons SEN to Minister Leishman con-
template that he keep the state de-
partment constantly informed as to the
situation that the department may
know to what extent protection is be.
ing afforded American citizens. The
president has been advised Of the
facts reported to Washington.
Minister Leishman says that a riot
occurred Sunday at Beirut, in which
seven Christians were killed and sew
eral wounded. Two houses occupied
by Christians were pillaged by the
soldiery. The panic was general.
Admiral Cotton says violence and
bloodshed between Mohammedans and
native Christians occurred at Beirut
Sunday. Six Greek Christians. two
Mohammedans and one Turkish sol
der were killed; three Greek Chris
tians, three Mohammedans and three
Turkish soldiers were wounded serious

SAND EULCARlANS.

London, Sept. 9.-Everything seems
to point to new and terrible develop
ments in Macedonia. On top of the
appalling accounts of the results OF
the Turkish methods of restoring or
der in the vilayet of Monastir comes
the threat by the insurgents to resort
to reprisals on the same scale. The
porte's anxiety to suppress news by
expelling newspaper correspondents
from the operations is held to have but
one meaning. The morning papers
comment upon the significance of the
news that Russia and Austria are
seeking to persuade the powers to
coerce Bulgaria, as showing a belief
that war is inevitable.
No further news regarding the out
break at Beirut has been receivedhere.
The Daily Telegraph correspondent
at ST. Petersburg says he is assured
on excellent authority that Russia,
when she submits proposals to the
porte for the p~acification of Macedo-
MIA, contenlplates the dispatch OF her
Black Sea squadron to Turkish Wa
ters, where it will make a much long
er stay than recently, in order to over
come the suItan's objections to her
recommendations.
A Monastir dispatch to the Daily
Mail says the great military drive in
the mountains to the southeast of
Monastir toward Lake Prespa by a
force of 5000 Turkish infantry with
twelve guns resulted in the escape of
all the revolutionary bands. Though
the latter we're practically surround
ed not n was captured.

APPALLING ATROCITIES.
Turks Massacre Over Fifty Thousand
Bulgarians.

Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. 9.-The Ma
cedonion interior organization esti-
mates that 100000 women, children
and old men are hiding in the noun
tains and forests of Macedonia. The
Turks are burning the forests in the
district Of Leren and Kostur, and
killing fugitives who attempt to es-
cape to the plains.
All reports from the vilayet of Mon
astir agree in describing the situation
as appalling. Between 10000 and So
600 Bulgarian inhabitants are be-
lieved to have been m%assacred by the
Turks and every Bulgarian village in
the vilayet has been destroyed. The
revolutionary headquarters estimate
that 10000 Bulgarian men, women and
children have been killed, while at
least the same number of refugees are
slowly perishing of hunger. In official
circles these figures are regarded as
an underestimate and officials incline
to the belief that the number of the
maSSacred exceeds sc, 1000.

BRILLIANT FEAT OF ARMS.
Small French Force Defeats Large
/: Body of Moors.

Paris, Sept. 9.-Disnatches from
Oran, Algeria, show that the recent
defeat of the insurgents by a French
force neal Almoungar, in which the
French lost 81 killed and AZ wounded,
was n Of the most brilliant of the re-
cent feats of the French army in AL
geria. 1t appears that the insurgents
intercepted a convoy, the escort of
which, consisting of 120 men, resisted
the attack of between 5000 and 1000
Moors for eight hours. The little
French force suffered greatly from
thirst. but after inficting heavy losses
on their assailants, succeeded in re-
pulsing them. The French relieving
force found the Moors' line Of retreat
scattered for a mile with dead and
wounded.

eLAMEs THE UNITED STATES.
German Press Comments on Out
breaks at Beirut.

Berlin, Sept. 9.-The morning news
papers, in commenting on Sundays
outbreak at Beirut, throw the blame
for the occurrence on the United
States. The Lokal Anzeigar says:
Nov that the Americans have their
dead they will make inquiry whether
they were responsible for the effer-
vescence in Beirut. By the unprece-
denied action Of their minister in
Constantinople and their naval demon
stration the yearning of the United
States to mix up in European politics
has found some Justification"
The National Zeitung says:
j., ut can be seen how serious it is, in
view of the excitement IN the Near
East, to spread incorrect or bad
translations Of cipher reports"

ABOLISH EQUIPMENT BUREAU.
Radical Change Proposed in the Navy
Department.

Washington, Sept. Establishment
Of the bureau of equipment Of the
navy department and consolidation of
its work under the bureaus of naviga-
tion and construction and repair is
the radical change proposed in a plan
which has been submitted to Secre-
tary Moody for approval and which it
is believed will meet the ideas Of the
secretary. According to the plan the
electrical work now in charge of the
bureau Of equipment, including wire
less telegraphy, will be transferred to
the bureau Of construction and repair,
which in reality has under it's control
a large part of the electrical work on
ships under the present arrangement.
To the bureau Of navigation will be
transferred all matters relating to
purchase and storing of coal and the
location of coaling stations. The 9TH
er duties of the chief of the bureau of
equipment will be divided between
these two bureaus.

ed by Admiral Cotton in his dispatch

Some Christians of the city of Bel

visions in the mountains and even
contemplate a winter campaign. The
suffering to the women and children
thereby entailed would be appalling,
but the insurgent leaders believe that
the ill-clad Turkish troops will suffer
more than themselves, owing to their
inability to obtain supplies in a de-
vastated country with Interrupted
communications.
He continues: "Any active inter-
ference On the part Of the powers
seems past praying for. Russia and
Germany are urging the sultan to
adopt more vigorous methods of re-
pressions, while the other powers have
apparently no advice to offer and con-
tent themselves with an attitude of dis
interested SDectatOrS,"
