ON EDGE OF A paEcIpIcE.
Turkish-7n'sarian War May Come In
Spite Of Efforts to Prevent II.


Spite Of Efforts to Prevent II.
Europe is standing on the edge of
precipice." declared in London on
Thursday diplomat who is partici-
pating in the international negotia-
lions in connection with~the Balkan
question, "and no one can tell but
that tomorrow may see Turkey and
Bulgaria plunged in war in spite of
all the efforts made to prevent it, and
though the powers separately have
made strong representations to Bull
garia to desist from aiding the insur-
gents, and are on the eve of making
q joint demand for the observance of
a policy of strict neutrality. In the
meantime Turkey is becoming encour-
aged by the attitude of the powers to- :
ward Bulgaria, and there is a strong
feeling among the Mohammedans that
the opportunity is at hand to take sum-
mary vengeance on the Bulgarian
people. The porte has been warned
against engaging in war and we be-
lieye hesitates to embark on a move
which may result in the armed inter-
vention Of Europe The only encour-'
aging sign in the situation is the I'M
Outstanding between the powers, all Of
which we are sure are unfolding Rus

peace"

mussuLMANs THIRST FOR BLOOD
Feared That They May Attack Chris
tians in constantinopIe.

Reports received by the foreign Of
fee in Paris from Constantinople say
there is renewed agitation among the
Mussulmans within the city. and
fears are expressed of possible Mus

lation. This agitation followed the
appearance in the Turkish papers of
accounts of the Bulgarians dynamit-

boat Vaskapu. The government con-
sidered that official sanction of the
publication of the news was the best
means to avoid exaggerated stories of
the explosions. AS the government
had vigorously suppressed any men,
tion of explosions during the past
twenty years. the recent publications
caused widespread agitation.
