Sofa. Bulgaria. Sept 13.-With the
arrival Of new and sensational reports
OF the wholesale massacre of Christians
a in Macedonia, the situation here is
hourly becoming more alarming.
II the latest messages, which state
that 5000 Bulgarians have been slaugh-
tered in the districts of Okrida and
Lerens, should be confirmed, NO doubt
exists that the government will be
forced to order the mobilization OF the
army.
According to information brought to
the revolutionary paper, Autonomye. a
force of Albanians. assisted by Turkish
forces acting under orders from Yil-
diz Kiosk. massacred the entire Bull
garian Christian population Of the
Okrida and Lerens districts.
Fearful descriptions are given of the
sights seen there, the soldiers slaught-
ering men. women and children In ev-
cry direction. displaying a barbarism
Of killed Ia not stated In the courier's
dispatch, hut according to reports from
other sources the total number OF the
victims Will reach 5000.
Ohicial circles are SO far without in
formation regarding the reported mas
sacre, but in view Of the character of
the latest advices from Macedonia 1t is
feared the news is only too true.
Rumors are current that at a coun-
Gil of the ministers to-day 1t was de-
cided to mobilize Immediately the First
and Second army divisions.
This is oftcially denied. but we'll in
formed persons do not doubt that the
cabinet, which is meeting in council
