eULGARiA's INTENTIONS.
Has No Plan to Send an UItimatum
To Turkey.

Paris, Oct. I'm. Stanchioh, the
diplomatic agent Of Bulgaria in Paris,
Is in receipt of official advices from
Sofia, which deny the alarmist rumors
current here of Bulgaria's purposes.
Bulgaria has no intention of sending
an ultimatum to Turkey or of order
ing further mobilization of her forces
On the contrary the outlook for q
peaceful adjustment with Turkey and
the powers is now regarded in Sofia
as practically assured through the in
ternational conference. NJ. Stanchioff
said he did not give credence to the
bellicose language attributed to the
Bulgarian premier, and explained that
Bulgaria was ready to make what.
ever money compensation was proper
on account of the oriental railway and
eastern Rumelia. He characterized
as absurd the report from Belgrade
of a secret treaty between Bulgaria
and Austria-Hungary.
