TO PUNISH THEM
PROMISES MADE TO AMBASSADOR
BY SULTAN.
ABOUT THE BALKAN SITUATION
Sultan Said to Be Firmly Resolved to
Avoid a War-Expresaes Regret at
Excesses Committed by Turkish
Troops.

LONDON-The Balkan situation
presents few new features. The Ger
man emperor's influence at Vienna is
said to have been thrown in favor OF
allowing the sultan the utmost free
dom in suppression of the insurrec-
ton. Both Turks and Macedonians
claim the victories in the daily en-
counters. A report from Sofia states
that Bulgarian military preparations
are reaching the state of perfection
that will enable the concentration of
100000 men on the frontier within a
sions. weapons and ammunition are
rapidly becoming efficient
According to a dispatch from Con-
stantinople to the Daily Telegraph the
sultan is so firmly resolved to avoid
a war that on the report that France
was sending a fleet to Turkish waters
and again when it was stated that
Bulgaria was mobi!izing, he drafted a
decree forbidding massacreS in Mace
donia and conforming more extensive
local administrative pledges than had
been demanded by the insurgents
themselves, but on each OCCASION find
ing the rumors unfounded, the decree
was rescinded. 1t is believed, how
hot ch tar
a demonstration in Turkish waters the
decree will be signed.
The Servian newspapers are discuss
ing the probability of a reconciliation
with Bulgaria on the basis of free
trade between Servia and Bulgaria
aud a defensive alliance against the
Turks.
A dispatch from the monastery of
Ria, adds the Daily Telegraph's cor.
respondent, sacs the Greeks are join
ing the revolutionists in the district
of Menlik.
CONSTNTINOPLE-In an audience
with NJ zienoff. the Russian ambassa-
dor, Friday, the sultan expressed his
regret at the excesses committed by
the Turkish troops in the villayets of
Monastir and Adrianople. He said
that orders had been sent to the au-
thorities concerned to prevent their
repetition and he gave the Russian am
bassador to understand that the guilty
parties would be punished
The German ambassador, Baron
Marschall Won Bieberstein, also had
ea audience with the sultan, who
showed himself most optimistic The
latter declared that the insurrection
was drawing to close; in fact, it
had ALREADY been suppressed in some
districts and the porte would, there
fore. Immediately issue proclamations
announcing the resumption of the ap-
piication of the reform scheme.

THE SOURCES OF PLUCK.

Regarding the sources of pluck a
iew words are in order. 1t may be
iue to the last straw approaching and
n desperation it is fought Off and a
lew kind of pluck acquired. 1t may
come by anger or righteous indigna-
ion. 1t may come by better care of
he health, and a clearer view of the
goal. Danger. love, hope. ambition
md prayer invite pluck to come and
.emain Just before great battles
some Of the most successful COM
nanders in history have increased
heir pluck by appealing to their Crea
pr for help and fayors.
