Butt of Mobile, who owned the boat say there

are at loss TO account for the burning of the
vessel.
According to Wheat's story the nine men were
dumped into roaring furnace while they were
asleep, and were roasted alive. The boat was
used by men who were engaged In getting logs
out OF narrow places for rafting purposes. 1t
was constructed similar to dredge boat, with
structure for sheltering the machinery and
apartments in which the crew and employees
lived. The fire had evidently been burning some
time when Wheat was awakened. He says he
rushed in and called to the others that the boat
was burning. He does not know whether any Of
the men heard him. He leaped from the vessel
into the river, and a moment later the structure
collapsed the men falling into the blazing hull.

scented by Austria and Russia. supported by

The Minister expressed surprise that the

conditions in European Turkey would continue
as long as the Ottoman government conniVed
with the Greeks in the persistent persecution
of the Bulgarian population If the persecu-
lions provoked an outbreak or led to a mas

consequences, because it would be impossible to
