secretly to King Peter to urge him to
join Bulgaria in fight against the
Turks, pointing out that this is the
way for him to overcome the difficult
les which are at present besetting him.
The Austrians and Russians have
handed the porte a strong protest
against the barbarous methods of re-
preston used by the Turkish troops in
Macedonia. Austria is preparing a
fleet of warships to sail at a moments
notice, if necessary. An Italian fleet
is also in readiness off the coast of
Sicily.
1t is estimated that $4,000 persons
have been slaughtered in the district of
Leren alone, which is purely Bulgarian.
The Bulgarian government Monday
addressed a note to the great powers
declaring that the porte is systematic

sacring the Christian population.
Further, it says Turkey has modified
her whole army which cannot possibly
be for the sole purpose of suppressing
the revolution. Therefore the Bull
garian government appeals to the hui
name sentiment of Europe to prevent |
the continuance of the massacres and |
devastation and to stop the mobiliza-
ton of the Turkish army. The men,
orandum concludes with the plain |
statement that unless the powers in |
tervene Bulgaria will be forced to take |
such measures as she may deem nee |
essary.
