LONDON. Sept. THE latest news from
Sofia as to the situation between Turkey
and Bulgaria Is that at a meeting OF the
Cabinet Of tho latter country, which was
held at Varna and was presided over by
Prince Ferdinand. II was decided to adopt
the most stringent measures to prevent
any movement that might disturb the
present relations with Turkey.
This decision was strongly supported by
Col. Saoof. the Minister Of War, on the
ground Of the enormous expenditure that
would be involved in war with the Porte,
and also because the Powers would pre-
vent Bulgaria from reaping any advantage
II she were victorious in war with Turkey
II Turkey attacked them. the ar Min
lister said. the present forces Of the country
would be able to hold the Turks in check
for few days and the entire army could
be mobilized in from three to twelve days.
The Cabinet also decided to proclaim
martial law In Burgao, Kustendi. Philip
popolis and Sofia upon the first symptom
Of disorder on the frontier.
The Ministers are believed to have ex-
pressed the opinion that the Powers would
soon be convinced that the Macedonian
question could not be decided without
their Intervention.
This prudent decision Of Bulgaria re-
moves one cause Of anxiety in regard to
the situation in the near East. Trust

gre and contradictory.
There is, however, the usual crop OF tales
Of horrors, the correspondent Of the Daily
Mail at Monastir saying that the Turks at
the present rate Of devastation will not
leave a human being alive in two weeks
and then stating in the same despatch that
the Turks are evidently losing heavily.
The Turkish Embassy in London has
issued another categorical denial OF the
stories of Turkish atrocities which have
been published during the past week and
also denial Of the report that the Sultan
