TWO SETS OF BULGARIAN BANDS.

Cable dispatches have reported that two dynamite
outrages perpetrated in Macedonia. at the
of Mustapha Pacha. and along the railroad
line followed by the Oriental Express These out
RACES are credited in the dispatches to the "Revo
lutlonary Committee" l. is not generally known
that there are two committees certral one at
Sofia and another in Macedonia. each being the
director of many subcommittee.
Usually when Bulgarian revolutionary commit
tees mentioned the general idea is that refer
ence is made to those formed in the principaty,
and which have caused the insurgent movement IN
Macedonia. Those committees. however, play
secondary part in the Balkan troubles There are
in Bulgaria about 100000 Macedonians, who form
an active and powerful element, inasmuch as they
furnish to the army good proportion of its OFF,
These people dream rather Of a great Bull
garfa'' than of Macedonian autonomy. For a time
the direction of the Macedonian movement was
carried on exclusively py the committees In Bull
garia but an organization Of a similar kind soon
formed in Macedonia itself. The Macedonian
committees of the interior are not composed Of
men who, having taken refuge in the prfncipality,
have derived ideas of great Bulgaria" They
comprise only autochthonous Observation-Disclosures
ters, priests, and those of the people who nave
received some instruction The interior committees
do not care anything about Slavism they are con-
cerned exclusively with the interests Of Macedonia
and are opposed to outside intrusioas They be-
lieve that Macedonians only have the right to de-
eide about Macedonia This is one reason for Rus
sian hostility.
AS the Macedonians peaceful way to
escape slavery, they began quietly to prepare the
population for an upheayal, and. as they needed
material resources they looked for them outside.
It was then that the Bulgarian committees came
TO help them. Similar action has been taken Dy
the central home committee and the high commit.
tee at Sofia but there never was Subordinauon OF
the former to the latter On the contrary, as ex-
plained 10y the Marseies ''Semaphore's' corre-
spoEdent an Constantinople, the home committee
movement. 1t accepts willingly the assistance OF
the outside committee b.t it intends TO be the only
one TO decide the future of Macedonia. With
out its sanction a general outbreak m Macedonia
is impossible and it seems that ii has decided TO
begin the revolutionary movement

TO INCREASE ASIATIC FLEET.
War Department viii Maintain Three
Sauadrons in the Pacific

Washington, April 5-The United States naval
representation in the Orient will be increased
materially as soon as the vessels now under or
ders to proceed to these waters arrive there
The Navy Department in making this increase
contempates squadrons in Asiatic and Phll-
ippine waters under three general heads YES
sells OF line of battle, comprising the battieships
Kentucky, Oregon and Wisconsin. and the mon1-
tors Monterey and Monadnock. all of which are
now there except the Wisconsin, which sails
from Puget Sound about May /; the cruiser
squadron made up of the NewOrleans. which
is already on the Asiatc station. and the Ra-
leigh now in the Caribbean Sea, and the Albany
and the Cincinnati: and the squadron made UP
OF gunboats and small craft designed especially
for service in the smaller bodies of water where
the larger ships becauss of their draught are
unable to go. The idea of the three squadron
formation is a favorite one with many naval
officers who to some extent have arranged its
counterpart with the vessels of the Atlantic fleet
II is said here that the change in the character
of the Asiatic Squadron is due primarily to what
naval experts consider the proper division OF
the navy and was decided some time ago.
1t also is felt be a good precautionary
measure to have "a strong representation in the
Far East ready for service should the occasion
unexpectedly arise.

Asiatic Squadron is on account Of the alarming
reports on the situation in China " excites sur
prise in PelSing. Such reports were not sent by
the United States British legation, which
possess good facilities for judging the situation
in China The only disturbances considered
serious are those in the KwangSe Province (the
southern province of China bordering Tonkin,
where one hundred thousand rebels are said TO
be under arms), which never directed
against foreigners. The latest reports regard
ing General Tung Fuh Slang, the Boxer leader,
and Prince Tuan, the exiled anti-foreigner. who
are at the head of the insurgent forces in the
northwestern province of Kansu, are reassur-
ing. The government claims to have come to an
understanding with them, whereby they agree
to refrain from hostilites. 1t is believed that
the government is supplying them with funds
on condition that they remain quiet.
The officials promise the foreign ministers that
the indemnity bonds viii soon be signed. The
officials have apparently concluded that 1t will
be impossible TO obtain any concession in the
terms OF the indemnity until that formality is
fulfilled
The Empress Dowager and the court started

They will be absent from Peking eighteen days
The cars of the train bearing the Empress Dow
ager and the Emperor have been specially con-
structed and decorated at lavish expenditure
Other trains will carry most of the high officials

railways entering Peking will be practically sus-
pended for several days. The masses regard the
pilgrimage with astonished approval, and pre-
diet that heaven will send disasters.

graphs that the famine in KwangSe Province
