BELIEVES POPE
DIED Of CANCER
DR.. Carderelli Takes Is
sue With Vatican
Physicians.
Publishes Long Article to
Prove Correctness Of
His Views.

ROME, Sept. 10.-Professor Carderelli,
the eminent physician, who is a member
of the Senate, publishes in the Rivista
d'Italia to-day a long article to demon
strate that Pope Leo XIII died of tuber-
culous cancer or right hydrothorax. He
fortifies his statement with arguments
based on his own experience and that OF
authorities such as Trousseau, Barth,
Frankel and Zagari, to show that all the
symptoms of the illness of Pope Leo as
stated in bulletins by Drs. Lapponi and
Mazzoni lead to the conclusion that the
late Pope was not affected by pleurisy or
pleuro-pneufonia. Professor Carderelli
aff1rms that from the moment blood liquid
appears in the pleura and Is found
through thorscentesis, especially when
the fluid gathers deceitfully without pain
or fever or manifest cause OF pleurisy,
the diagnosis of pleurisy must be exclQd-
ed, and that when the liquid forms In
the right pleura it usually indicates can
Ger or hydrothorax in aged people. There
are forms of senile pleurisy or pneumonia,
he continues, in which fever, pain and
cough are lacking, but these are almost
without exception of tuberculous ma
ture The declaration that the post NOR
tenn examination confirmed the diagno-
sis made by Drs Lapponi and Mazzoni.
the professor declares, is not sufhcient'
as only careful microscopic examination
In these cases can establish the real az
fection of the pleura.
The professors statement consludes as
follows:

sis without having seen the patient and with

composition of the liquid taken from the pleura.

Sofia Government
Cannot Restrain
Populace.

p ONDON. Sept. 1.-THE temper Of
the Bulgarian people and Govern
IL ment, according to kilograms from
Sofia. is rising to the danger point
All indications tend to show that however
loyalty the Government desires TO OBJ
serve a neutral attitude il Will be forced
ere long by pressure from the people into
a formal declaration Of sympathy with
the Macedonian Christians. Premier Pet
rof1s informal intimation to TIE diplO-
matte corps in Sofa that unless some
means Of restraining Turkeys terrible
measures TO suppress the uprising in
Macedonia be taken by the powers Bull
garia VIII be forced TO depart from strict
neutrality is regarded as a warning in
this sense 10 the powers.
A committee representing all classes
has been organized by the professors Of
the Sofa University and is sitting daily
10 discuss the situation. Bitter attacks
on Prince Ferdinand are INDUCED IN for
his action in dissOlving the Sobranje at
such critical moment, which is charac-
terized as treason against The people
Resolutions will be submitted to this
committee urging the immediate mobiliza-
ton Of the army against Turkey.
The Daily Telegraph's correspondent at
Sofia in a long resume Of the situation,
points out that Bulgaria does not pos
sess sufficient troops TO properly Gordon
the frontier. She has only posts Of five
men each at points three miles distant
from one another. and as the Turkish
frontier guards always retire when they
see Bulgarian bands crossing the latter
have an easy task. The correspondent
thinks this points TO the conclusion that
the Ottoman Government desires to keep
the insurrectiOn alive as pretext for the
annihilatiOn Of the Christians. and as the
Bulgarians are unlikely 10 remain mac
tive spectators Of the massacre Of their
brethren the current Of popular feeling
may easily become too strong for any
Government TO withstand. Even in the
Bulgarian army and administration there
is strong sympathy for the Macedonians,
and in these services there is also a large
percentage Of Macedonians. Hitherto, by
promising European Intervention and sup
pressing the details Of the Turkish atroc-
ities. the Government has succeeded in
aIlaying popular Indignation. but such
temporary expedients can no longer avail.
and nothing short OF International inter-
ventioR can disDel the storm clouds now
fast gathering.
A curious story appears in the Vienna
Neue Freie Presse that the Sheikh Of

POWERS ENCOURAGE TURKEY.
Mohammedans Are ClamoTing for
Vengeance Upon Bulgaria

LONDON. Sept 1O-"Europe is stand
ing on the edge of a precipice," said
diDlomatist who is participating in
the international negotiations in connec-
ton with the Balkan question. land no
one can tell but that tomorrow may see
Turkey and Bulgaria plunged into war
in spite Of all the efforts made to prevent
il. and though the powers separately have
made strong representations to Bulgaria
to desist from aiding the insurgents and
are on the eve Of making joint demand
for the observance of a policy of strict
neutrality. In the meantime Turkey is
becoming encouraged by the attitude of
the powers toward Bulgaria. and there is
strong feeling among the Mohammedans
that the opportunity is at hand to take
summary vengeance on the Bulgarian
people. The Porte has been warned
against engaging in war, and We believe
hesitates to embark on a move which
may result in the armed Intervention of
Europe. The only encouraging sign in
the situation is the understanding between
the powers, all of which we are sure are
upholding Russia and Austria in their ef-
forts TO maintain peace.
All Of the advices, official and otherwise,
received here agree in saying that the
Turkish Government has now restored
quiet at Beirut and that the Porte appre-

States'M Minister Leishman.
So far as can be learned, though the
powers are prepared to send ships at a
moments notice to Salonica, in compli-
ance with the reported request of the Con-
suls, no orders for warships to sail have
yet been issued. Confidence is expressed
that should such action be taken it will
be in concert.
No confirmation has been obtained Of
the report published by Die Zeit of Wen
ma to-day that Turkish troops have been
ordered to cross the Bulgarian frontier Of
Eastern Roumania. on the coming full
moon nights ia order to surround all the
insurgent bands in the vilayet of Adrian
ople but IT would not be surprising If, in
spite of orders to the contrary, Turkish
troops pursuing insurgent bands should
cross the frontier, and this would precipi-
tate a conflict between the Turks and Bull
garians.

Porte Heeds Demand Made by
America and Other Powers.


BERLIN, Sept. 1O.-A dispatch received
from Constantinople says Maxim Pasha
has been formally appointed vail Of Beir-
ut, in place of Reshid Pasha, who has
been dismissed.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 10.-United
States Minister Leishman presented a
demand to the Turkish Government for
the dismissal of Reshid Pasha, vail of
Beirut. on the ground that, 50 long as he
is retained in office. the lives and prop
erty of Americans in Beirut were in
secure.
The dispatch of Nazim Pasha to Beirut
from his post at Damascus is considered
to be a preliminary step toward a set
tlement. Maxim Pasha received an en-
thusiastic reception upon his arrival at
Beirut, a crowd at the railway station
cheering him repeatedly. The town was
then perfectly tranquil.
Beirut advices received here late yes

vailed among the Christians there and
that the exodus to the mountains con-

1t has long been the theory of military

A European merchant who left Monas-

Europeans desiring to see the burned

wanted to go to Smilevo but Hilmi

Consuls that he will assist the destitute,
but he has done nothing and even refuses
to allow them to enter the town and beg
for food
Many cruelties perpetrated by Chris
tians are attributed to Greek spies headed
by a Greek Bishop who. with the Greek
consuls, 1t is said, are paid by the Porte
for their services. The Greeks are ac-

the same offense to three and a half
years Imprisonment. Minister Leishman
promptly protested against this violation
Of the rights of an American citizen.
Minister Leishman reported also that
the French ambassador had demanded
the removal of the Governor OF Beirut.
and that other foreign representatives
probably would do the same. Lelshman

Porte to replace the Governor with some
one more capable of preserving order and
Of giving more efficient protection to
American citizens and interests. In this
course he has the approval of the State
Department.
