Belgrade, Oct. iS.-The cabinet
counsel has drafted Servia's reply to
the Russo Australian note and it will
be delivered. tomorrow. The reply ex-
presses regret at Servia's inability to
comply With the terms of the note,
because Russo.Austrian proposals fail
to provide guarantees for the execu-
ton of the proposed reforms.

this reply a memorandum will be pre-
sented to Turkey, demanding auton-

troll of the Balkan states.
Sofia, Oct 13.-Bulgaria's reply to
the Russo Austrian note was present.
ed to the diplomatic representatives,
tonight This note and one addressed
to Turkey are couched in moderate
terms. The Bulgarian government
says it is most anxious to do nothing,
which will aggravate the present pre-
carious situation. The reply points
out that the wording Of one of the
most important clauses of the Powers
note is not clear, and, as Bulgaria is
anxious to avoid all misunderstanding,
asks the Powers to state precisely
what the doubtful clause really means.
In conclusion, the note declares the
delay has been due to the fact that
the note of the Powers was addressed
to all the Balkan States and that
therefore it was necessary for dis
cussion of it's contents by the states.
Most of the Bulgarian towns have a
deserted appearance. Only old men,
boys and women are to be seen.
Practically all business has been sus-
pended.
