TURKS CRUSHING
OUT BULGAR|ANS
ANNlHlLATl0N THEIR RULE OF
WARFARE
PEASANTS GoADED TO REVOLT
Activity Of Greek and servIan Bands
Reported as Constantly Inereas-
Ing and Situation Daily
Growing Worse

sreclai Cable TO The Herald.
SOFIA, April 23.-There has been a
distinct increase Of late in the tension
between Turkey and Bulgaria, and a
heated controversy is in progress. The
ministerial journal Nov vek openly
charges Turkey with the intention Of
crushing the Bulgarian element In
Macedonia. and declares that pro-
vocative measures have been adopted
by the military and civil authorities
with this object.
However this may be. the military
program adopted by the Turkish au-
thorities in Macedonia would appear
to have been attended with some sue
cess. as reports come from various
quarters of the annihilation Of Bull
garian bands. Annlhilation seems to
be the approved method of procedure
as in the more recent accounts of the
destruction Of the bands there is no
mention of prisoners.
This success, however, is merely tenn
porary. for fresh bands are taking the
place of those which have perished,
while the vexatious measures put in
force against the rural population, the
perquisitions, the arrests, the curfew
system, the closing of churches and
schools. and the continual interference
with individual liberty will sooner or
later drive the peasants to desperation
and precipitate an insurrectionary
movement.
Meanwhile the activity of Greek and
Servian bands is on the increase, and
the situation is daily growing worse,
largely owing to the conduct of the
authorities, who frequently foment the
religious and racial feuds of the Chris
tians. Owing to their connivance and
benevolent neutrality the Greek bands
enjoy practical immunity in certain
districts, and savage reprisals have
followed on the part of the Bulgarians.

VIENNA, April 23.-No little smy-
pathy has been aroused by the tragic
death simultaneously of three sisters
belonging to an ancient and highly
honored Austrian family, the Baron
esses Louise, Cresina and Augusta
Zinn Won zinnenburg, the eldest being
70 years of age. For many years they
had lived at Klagenfurt, the capital Of
Carinthia, in extremely INDECENT cir
cumstances, gaining a precarious liveli-
hood by knitting and fancy work.
The Baroness Cresina died this week
after long suffering; scarcely was she
laid out when her two sisters. Louise
and Augusta, standing on either side
of the bier, shot themselves with re-
volvers at one and the same moment,
both falling beside Cresina, where
their bodies were subsequently found.
Each had fired with determined aim
at her temple and death had been in
stantaneous.
In a note found in the death cham
ber it was stated that the three Sis
ters had sworn together that in the
event of the death of one the two 9TH
ers would not be divided from her
The Zinnenburg family, who had been
twelfth century, is now extinct.

POLISH REVOLUTIONISTS
TO OPPOSE MOBILIZATION
Say Such an Attempt on the Part Of
Government Will Be Signal for
Reign of Terror

Special Cable to The Herald.
WARSAW, April 23.-The Polish So
cialist revolutionary party is making
active preparations in view of sthe
threatened mobilization in Poland, and
it's members declare that they will
make any attempt at mobilization the
sign for such reign of terror as will
make all government impossible, and
thus extort from Russia a constitution
diet in Warsaw.
During the last few months 100000
revolvers of English and American
manufacture have been smuggled into
Poland.
The revolutionary leaders profess to
be much encouraged by the success of
the strike movement, and they intend
to make full use of this opportunity of
pursuing their political ambitions. They
do not contemplate military rebellion
unless a general revolution breaks out
in Russia.
The Polish nobility stand jealousy
aloof from the movement, but the revo-
lutionaries hope to terrorize them into
joining 1t.
They declare that Japan is thorough
ly alive to the importance of the Polish
uprising, and that 10000 rifles discard
ed by European power will be Sc
cretly delivered to the revolutionaries
unofficially Japanese officials.
