Sofia, Bulgaria, Oct. 12.-The war
Office Saturday ordered the complete
mobilization ef the first and second
classes of reserves resident in the Kos
tendil district and of the Thirteenth
Macedonian infantry.
This step, it is understood, was taken
as a precautionary measure, in view
of the repeated provocative acts of the
Turks on the frontier.
The Dnevik says the authorities are
surprised and concerned at the frequent
aggressions of Turkish troops along
the frontier.
The Bulgarian ministry has formal
ly complained to the Turkish govern
ment on the subject and has pointed
out the ~deplorable results which such
conduct must have on the relations
between the two governments at a
time when delicate negotiations are
proceeding.
1t is estimated that 10000 refugees

$4,000 are in the Bourgas and Varns
districts. The remainder are distrib-

from St. Petersburg, as follows: Rus
STA is not inclined to accept the modns

that the dispute come to war than
yield her claims. A sign that Russia
