Washington, Aug. ia rumor more
disquieting to many clerks than the
chronic talk about the probability or
additional indictments was in circula-
tion in the postoffice department dur
ing the day.
1t was to the effect that there Will
be a considerable number of dismissals
Of high salaried employees of the de-
partment who have been closely iden-
tilted with the indicted ex-ofiicials, as
q result of the investigation.
Officials In authority, when asked
about the correctness u this rumor.
said enough to show it had substan-
tial basis.
The postofflce inspectors, In their In
vestigations, have gathered evidence
bearing on the official conduct and pri-
vate habits of the principal clerks IN
the bureaus where there have been ir-
regularities.
This evidence In many instances
shows that certain clerks in highly re-
sponsible positions were not as de-
voted to the interests of the govern
ment as they should have been and
the presumption is strong that they
had knowledge Of the irregularities
practiced, If they did not actually aid
In a quiet way in carrying them out.

the sultan's Macedonian reforms, re-
ports that the young men in all the
bulgarian villages are fleeing to the

compelled by threats to help the rev.
olutionary committees.

appointed vail of Monastir, reports a
similar spread of the insurrectionary
movement In the vilayet OF Salonica,
where, he says, the committees are re-
solved on the same campaign OF mas
sacre, incendiarism and pillage as in
the vilayet of Monastir
kilograms received from Monastir

is still occupied by the insurgents.
Four thousand Turkish troops, with ar
tillery, surround the town and are pre-
pairing to attack and, If possible, re-
take the position

ress in the district of Dibra, where 1t
appears that the Albanians are attack

tate the district of Koritza and have
captured important Turkish supplies
OF provisions.
More or less severe fighting is re-
ported in the districts Of Kastoria and
Florina. Three hundred insurgents

Gieygveli and Yenije. TWenty-slx
Mussulman peasants have been massa-
cred In the village of Zivernini, near
