BULGARIAN CABINET FOR
WAR RATHER THAN PAY
Members Refuse to Accept Car Ferdi-

mish Reported on the
Frontier.

Paris, Oct. 22.-From Sofia, Bulgaria,
comes the information that the Malinoff
cabinet still refuses to accept the advice
of Ferdinand, who advocates peaceful
settlement with Turkey, and insists that
going to war would be preferable TO
paying an indemnity.
Until the Bulgarian ministry yields
definitely, it is considered by the officials
Of the French government that the dan.
ger of war has not been dispelled.
Reports current in Paris that Baron
Won Bieberstein, the German ambassador
at Constantinople, has been counselling
war at that city, while not confirmed,
caused disquietude, especially as Ger.
many's attitude grows more and more
enigmatical.
A dispatch from Athens states that a
telegram from Salonica says an encouu-
ter between Turkish and Bulgarian
troops has occurred at Djourmaya, on
the frontier Seventy Bulgarans and 10
Turks are said to have been killed.
1t Is rumored that a Bulgarian band
that was trying to enter Turkish terri
