THE BRITISH POLICY.
Willingness to lid Measures for
Just Government.

London, Aug 1O.-The Balkan situation has
assumed a more serious aspect in the eyes OF
British officials the result of the murder of
the Russian Consul at Monastir No authori-
tative statement as to the British attitude can
be obtained pending the receipt Of information
regarding the length to which Russia will go in
exacting reparation for the deed. It is expected.
however that the Russian demands for the
punishment of the murderer and the responsible
officials Will be followed by others of greater
international interest and affecting the general
Balkan question
It was stated to-day by a diplomat in a Pc
sition to know the Cars policy, that the En-
peror had no intention Of precipitating ard
that before dealing with the international sit
uation in Turkey. Russia would communicate
with Austria and acquaint the other signatories
of the Berlin Treaty with. at least, part Of her
plans.
The state of affairs in Macedonia was brought
UP in the House Of Commons to-day. but the
Premier, Mr.. Balfour, declared he was unable
to give any satisfactory assurances regarding
the situation. The latest news was far from re-
assuring.
Mr. Balfour acknowledged the i'll success of
the efforts Of Europe III the Macedonian ques-
ton since the singing of the Treaty of Berlin;
but he thought that the critics of European
diplomacy should not forget the extraordinarily
complicated difficulties of the task. There were
grave grievances arising from deepset disease
Re deplored the failure of their efforts 10 deal
with the situation but he was still hopeful that
the plan recently designed by Russia and Aus
tra would prove the best way of dealing with
the problem. It therefore the duty of the
rest OF Europe to support them as long their
efforts were directed in no ambitious spirit to
the aelioration Of the lot of the people OF Mace
donna.
1t must sorrowfully be admitted. continued
the Premier that the revolutionary bands them
selves were one of the chief obstacles TO the sue
cess of Europe's efforts. The picture drawn of
the condition of Macedonia by his interrogation
Mr.. Bryce. was not painted in colors any too
dark. Between the outrages deliberately
planned by the revolutionists and the license
OF the Turkish troops truth required him to say
that the balance of Criminality lay rather with
the revolutionists than with the Turks.
Mr.. Balfour said every thing possible would be
done 10 impress the Porte with the necessity of
keeping its troops well in hand, and every as
sistance would be given 10 the Porte in carry
inG out that object. He believed that the Forte

MACEDONIA TO POWERS.
FAILURE OF REFORMS.
intention to Fight Until a Change
of Rule Is Obtained,

SOFIA Aug. 1o.-The delegates here of the
Macedonian Committee addressed the FOLLOW
ing statement 10 each of the representatives
of the powers:
Your FxcelIency: The delegates of the Mace
DOMAIN Committee have the honor TO bring to
Your notice the following declaration, with the
request that you communicate 1t to your gov
eminent:
The Mussulmans' systematic persecution
has compelled the Christians Of Macedonia and
the viayet.of Adrianople to institute general
rising. They have had recourse to this ex-
trenae measure after exhausting all pacific
means to secure the intervention of Europe to
enforce the provisions of the Berlin Treaty.
At the present moment this intervention is the
only means of remedyng the evil and stopping
bloodshed. The sporadic efforts of the powers
to secure reforms having failed. they resulted
merely in recrudescence of Turkish fanat-
iciSm and government oppression.
1T is evident that reform measures to be
eficacious must include the appointment of
Christian governor general of Macedonia-soma
one who has never held office under the Porte,
and who must be independent OF the Turkish
Government in the exercise Of his functions
and the further appointment by the powers Of
JOINT permanent administrative board wltn
full powers to deal with any disturbances.
Having published the foregoing facts to the
civilized world. and made known the causes
which have driven the Macedonians to despair,
the committee for the Macedonians now in
arms proposes to continue the fight till the OBJ
ject of their uprising has been attained.
t''Signed for the committee). Drs TATAR-
TCHEFF, Christie and MATOFF."
The delegates have published statement
saying that the number of insurgents in the
district of Monastir is 5000, and that they
armed with rifles purchased in Greece. 1t
also states that August 5000 insurgents
destroyed three detachments of Turkish troops.
numbering altogether 100, and attacked the
town of Kitchevo but failed to occupy it. The
insurgents destroyed the Turkish village of
Drougovo whose inhabitants had come to the
assistance of the garrison of kitcheVo. The
statement further says that three Christian
villages-Smilevo KrouChe and Bolno-near
Monastir. have been completely destroyed by
the Turkish troops.
