OFFICIAL REPORT
British Consul General Sends Account
of Massacre.
nv Associated Press)


(By Associated Press)
LONDON, August ia dispatch from
the British consul general at Odessa. for
warding the report made by the British
vice-consul at Odessa. V. Bosanquet, who
was sent specially to Kishineff to obtain
the facts, regarding the recent anti-Jewish
riots there, Is published to-day.
Mr.. Bosanquets report. which is dated
July 2S.h. generally agrees with the stories
of the occurrences cabled to the Associated
Pres. 1t says:
"The area OF the disturbances COM
prised two-thlrds OF the town Of Klshi-
nefr. The murders all occurred on Mon
day, the second day of the disturbances.
They were perpetrated by bands Of
rioters In different parts of the town.
Many believe they were the work OF
organized companies, which argues In
favor OF a prearanged conspiracy to ex-
terminate the Jews.
apparently feeling existed among
the lower classes that the Jews ought not
to be In majority In Kishineff. Tho local
authorities took no effective step to stop
the riots. The soldiers were passive, II not
sympathetic spectators. If resolute action
had been taken by the authorities, ! be-
lieve the riots would have been checked
at an early stage"
Mr.. Bosanquet places the Jewish VIC
tins at forty-one killed and sR wounded,
while among the Christians one was kill
ed and sixty-eight wounded. ~

SOFIA BULGARIA., August 1.-THE
Bulgarian Foreign Office has received
very dsquieting news from It's agent at
Uskub. The Mussulmans there are daily
gathering in the mosques, and 1t is feared
that a massacre Of the Christians Is i'm
pending.
Officials here express the belief that the
Intervention of tho powers alone can pre-
vent disaster
The whole Bulgarian Government takes
q decided pessimistc view of the situa-
ton and the officials openly express
their fears that a general massacre OF the
Christians In Macedonia is Inevitable
possibly within four days, and almost
certainly within fortnight Meanwhile
the government continues to maintain It's
peaceful attitude but 1t believes that
sudden development of affairs across tho
border may at any moment render the
authorities powcrless to prevent war.
The reports from Bulgarian official
agents In Macedonia show that affairs
arc rapidly growing worse. The fact that
the Mussulman population Is becoming
excited and congregating in tho mosques
,s regarded as bad feature indicating
tho possibility that a massacre may oc-
cur within very short time 1t is every
where declared that tho present ministry
Is doing Its utmost to check the revolu-

country constitutes q dangerous factor
in the situation. The commercial classes
declare that the present condition OF az
fairs Is no longer endurable

TRY FOR A KINGFISH
Lots Of Fun to Be Had in Tussles With
The Black Bass IF Tho Sea

t1e OIdCk bass OF inc Sea.
t"spealsing of game sea fish," said the
angling doctor, REMINDS me that you
seldom hear much about the kinRiish.
He Is moro nearly the prototype of the
fresh-water black bass than any native
Of the sea, so far as my experience goes.
HE has tho same symmetrical body,
the same untlring spirit and affords the
angler an equal amount of sport He
seldom attains to the weight of his fresh
water congener. in nearby waters 1t is
unusual to hook kingfsh of more than
two pounds. but every once in those two
pounds is flrm hard flesh and muscle
mo sooner does the hook penetrate
his tough mouth than there Is action ait
his end of the line. The difference In
strenuousness Of fish Is never more ac-
curately Demonstrated than when a king
fish Is hooked on weakf1sh grounds. Ono
or two lunges and tho weak6sh Is towed
to the landing net; but after FIVE minutes
play the kingfish still retains the visor
and muscle which he exhibited when he
first took the hook
The kngfsh Is always found on a
sandy bottom Sometimes he resembles
the fluke in his secretlve habits He will
lie in the loose sand at the point Of a bar
In a tide way. completely submerged In
the sand except his eyes, which are con-
t!nually on the alert for the food brought
along by the tide. Sometimes tho king
fish chooses the breakers for feeding
ground, and they are frequently caught
from the Coney Island and Rockaway
piers.
BLACK bass tackle Is aminently suited
to them, but the hook should be a small
Sproat bend and the line should be linen,
as silk rots very quickly In salt water.
The faYorite- bait for. kingfish is shedder
crab or shrimp. Indeed. shrimp Is .unl-
versal salt water bait
Some fishermen make the mistake Of
putting dozen shrimp on a hook, maxi
ing the hook look like pin wheel. The
most successful salt water fisherman Of
my acquaintance uses only two shrimp.
HI hooks these through the tall
"Of course, so small bait MS shrimp
does not conceal the hook. The old no.
ton of absolutely concealing tho hook
has been long done away with by expert
anglers. The main point is to present
your bait In the most natural form to
your prospective victims. Hooking a
shrimp through the tall gives the little
fellow n chance to assume natural ap-
pearance In the water. while looking
him through the body destroys all his
chances for movement.
1.-THE klngfish seems to be a fellow who
does not require companionship. He does
not herd with his fellows, as do the blue
and weakfish, and 1t Is seldom Chat the
angler fills his basket with kingfish alone.
Still they all have a liking for sandy
bottoms and the surf, and where one Is
caught there are sure to be several in
the vicinity.
