BULGARIA MAY INTERVENE.
More TAX Of Coming 70 Aid Of the
MaCedOnIans.

Special Cable Despatch 10 TINE SUN.
LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE assertion made
recently that Bulgaria had determined that
she would no longer withhold help from
the Macedonians is reiterated with circum
stantial detail this morning in the dispatches
from the disturbed section.
1t is true that Premier petroh and other
Ministers deny that Bulgaria has any in
tention Of mobilizing her army or Of de-
parting from her attitude Of loyalty to the
suzerainty of Turkey, but the English
correspondents at Sofia profess to know
better.
The correspondent Of the Daily Tele-
graph, telegraphing under yesterdays
date, says the Government Of Prince Ferd-
inand has considered the matter from every
point of view.
1t Is we'll aware of the disastrous conse-
quences with which the Powers will threaten
Bulgaria II she intsrvenes. But even il
these consequences were immeasurably
more disastrous, there would be no hesita-
ton, for it had become q matter OF sacred
duty
The Government cannot and will not
any further play the part Of oallous on
locker while whole population is being
done to death.
Writing from Sofa on Sept. 0 the corre-
spondent Of the Daily Mail gives reasons
to support the probability that Servia will
ally itself with Bulgaria as against the
Turks, neither expecting any territorial
concessions as result thereof, but both
wishing to liberate the Macedonians.
Two or three independent reports to-ayd
pay tribute to the excellent conduct Of the
Turkish regulars. The Constantinople cor
respondent Of the STANDARD, who confirms
these statements, tells at the same time Of
the disgraceful conduct of two Albanian
regiments in the vilayet Of Adrianople.
He describes them as being quite out Of
hand, pillaging and burning, but does not
accuse them of any other acts Of violence.
The special correspondent Of the Daily
Post concurs in this and adds that, owing
to the protest made against the Albanian
troops by the French Consul at Kirk-Kilisse,
the Turkish Government has issued orders
that no more Albanian troops be sent there.

TREu0IER, France, Sept. lS.-As was

Ernest Renan, the noted writer, in this,
his native town, led to some rioting because
OF tho feeling between the followers OF
Prime Minister Combes and the Roman
Catholics. The disturbances. however,
were not serious.
M. Combes and his party left Pontrieu1,
where they had spent the night, for this
place this morning in six carriages, es-
corted by four squadrons Of dragons and
mounted gendarmes.
The people who gathered along the route
were mostly those curious to see the Prime
Minister and his party pass.
The crowds were not demonstrative.
but some few Kisses were heard, chiefly from
women, and some cries Of "A bas Combesl'
and "Vive la Gberte!'
NJ. Combes, on arriving here, received
a welcome which, on the whole, was favor
able. In the course OF his speech IN reply
to the Mayors address OF welcome the
premier said Il have heard a few Kisses.
Let me compare these to the flute played
behind the chariots OF the conquerors OF
ancient times to remind them that having
been raised by the people they must be
governed by tho people,
The ceremony Of the unveing OF tho
statue was carried out during a downpour
Of rain. While the addresses were being
delivered there were some kissing and blow
ing Of whistles and anti Combes cries which
the efforts Of the police failed to quiet
Thereupon a company Of sold iers were
drawn up in line and pressed the disturbers
back.
Subsequently, while NJ. Combes was
visiting the old home Of M. Roman there
Was q violent disturbance between rival
parties Of Catholics and Republicans.
The soldiers charged the rioters and dis
persed them by the use OF the butts OF their
rifles. The Baron and Baroness de Ker-
poison were arrested. The baroness had
a loaded revolver in her pocket.
In his speech at the banquet tonight NJ.
Combes defended the action taken by the
Government against the religious congre-
cations, declaring that the Cabinet had
merely enforced laws that had been passed
by tho French Parliament
He expressed the belief that Brittany
would soon throw Off the yoke OF sauires
and priests and would adopt the repub-
lican principles Of liberty Of Government
that was not hostile to religion.
Religion, he said. was entitled to liberty,
but it must not leave its own sphere, which
was spiritual, or interfere with the civil
or political sphere. The Government was
determined to enforce respect for the law.
Speaking Of national AFFAIRS. NJ Combes
declared the French Government was
hourishing, at home and abroad. The
alliance with Russia was becoming more
confident and more intimate.
The friendship with Italy was becoming
stronger, while with Great Britain their
only rivalry was In good methods OF friendly
demonstrations. On all the frontiers Of
France, he said, he saw only smiling faces.
There was peace on the horizon and the
Republic would try to maintain II.

All had constant quarrels with Brown,
who showed no executive ability. Finally.
when Sydney was reached, Brown wanted
to sell the schooner and winter there. as he
said it was too stormy to reach the island.
The American Consul was appealed to
and hs removed Brown, But others gave
Brown another show and the schooner
sailed for Papeete. Brown refused to take
the party to tho mysterious island unless
he was put In full charge so all took
steamer at Papeete and returned.
Brown was kept a prisoner on the voyage
over, but was released hero. He will prob
ably be arrested tomorrow for beating
q Japanese steward.
Brown alleges that Sutton and the others
did not treat him right and that was why
he refused to sail the schooner to the treas
urs island.
At Mr.. suttons homo In New Rochelle
1t was said last night that a telegram had
been received stating that he had arrived

narrow part Of the peninsula from Miami
to Tampa.
No kilograms are In yet from many Of

passengers arriving here from the south
that on the east coast many vessels have
been wrecked, coastwise and others. Above
Miami it Is reported that seven or eight
vessels are ashore and likely to be wrecks.
Five bodies have been washed ashore near
Miami. At the latter place the streets
were washed badly, houses were blown
over and other damage was done. Other
places along the coast probably suffered
severely At Tampa great damage was
done, according to reports received tonight.
Telephone and electric light poles were
thrown down, buildings were destroyed,
the streets washed and one report said that
several lives we're lost.
Telegraph officials here are making strenu-
GUS efforts to open communication, but it
is hard work, as their wires are down for
many miles, with fallen trees and other
debris on them. 1t is feared that many
wrecks have occurred and that the loss of
life may be great. All the news comes
from railroad sources.
1t Ia thought that the hurricane passed
directly through the orange section and
that much damage may have been done
to the fruit trees.
