 Sympathy with she RsvoIutionisss.
 London, Sept. 1.-The temper of the Bulgarian people and government. lac- cording to telegrams from Sofia, is ris- 5 ing to danger point. All indications tend to show that, however loyalty the government desires to observe a neu- tral attitude, it will be forced ere long, by pressure from the people, into for nal expression of sympathy with the Macedonian Christians. Premier Pet roff's informal intimation to the diplo- mats in Sofia that unless some means of restraining Turkeys terrible meas ures to suppress the uprising in Mace donia is taken by the powers Bulgaria will be forced to depart from strict neu- trality is regarded as a warning in this sense to the powers.
 A committee representing all classes has been organized by the professors of the Sofia university and is sitting daily to discuss the situation Bitter attacks of Prince Ferdinand are indulged in for his action in dissolving the sobranje at such a critical moment, which is char acterized as treason against the people. Resolutions will be submitted to this committee to-day urging the immediate mobilization of the army against Tur- key.
 The Daily Telegraph's correspondent at Sofia in long resume of the situa- ton points out that Bulgaria does not possess sufficient troops to properly cor- don the frontier She has only posts of q five men each at points three miles dis tant from each other, and as the Tur- kish frontier guards always retire when they see Bulgarian bands crossing the latter have an easy task. The corre- spondent thinks that this points to the conclusion that the Ottoman govern ment desires to keep the insurrection alive as pretext for the annihiIation of the Christians, and as the Bulgari- ans are unlikely to remain inactive spectators of the massacre of their brethren the current of popular feeling may easily become too strong for any government to Withst and.
 Even in the Bulgarian army and ad- ninistration there is strong synpa- s LllJ lpt LIlE lAASSoG services there is also large percent age of Macedonians. Hitherto by promising European intervention and sSppressing the details of the Turkish atrocities the government has succeed ed in allaying popular indignation, but such temporary expedients can no longer avail and nothing short of in ternational intervention can dispel the storm clouds now fast gathering. A curious story appears in the Vienna Neue F'reie Presse that the Sheikh of Medina is spreading the report that the prophet Mahomet rose from his tomb and exclaimed in solemn toness All Iah, save thy people, Whereupon the terror. The legend has excited Con- stantinople and is regarded as an in trigue to compel the Ottoman govern ndent to undertake an anti-C Christian campaign
 The Constantinople correspondent of The Standard has reason to believe that Germany is encouraging Turkey to a rigorous suppression of the insurrection without regard to European remon- stances.
 According to Constantinople dis patch to The Daily Chronicle seven Bulgarians who were imprisoned by the grand zaptieh have been massacred by their Turkish fellow prisoners.
 The Sofia correspondent of The Times says concerted insurgent operations on a large scale will occur within a few days. N
