Rumor That Military Revolt
Takes Place and Czar Ferdi-
nand Has Been Assas-
sinated.
NEWS Is NOT CONFIRMED
Balkan Mixup is Becoming
More Mixed up Each Day
and Becomes q Puzzle
ta Solve.

[United Press Leased Wire Service.l
LONDON, July 12.-Unconfirmed
reports reaching here tonight indicate
that the Bulgarian government is
probably facing a serious situation as
a result Of the crushing defeats suf-
fered by the army in the field against
the Greeks and Seryians. The re-,
ports have come by way OF Vienna,
having reached there from Sofia and
Bucharest. The Sofia reports declare
that military revolt is threatened
but those from Bucharest go SO far
as to state that the revolt is actually
under way and one unconfirmeo
rumor said that mobs had surrounded
the palace and assassinated Czar
Ferdinand There is no verification
of these reports, however. and though
direct news from Sofia was lacking,
1t was pointed out that the telegraph
has been out OF commission the past
week owing to the state OF war in the
Balkans.
Rumors Discredited.
LONDON, July 10. The Bulgarian
legation here tonight discredited SEN
sational rumors emanating from
i Vienna as to a military revolt having
broken out in Sofia. According to
these rumors a mob surrounded the
government offices and many were
killed when troops fired upon the
crowd. Unconfirmed reports were
also circulated that the palace had
been surrounded and Czar Ferdinand
assassinated The legation, however,
received an official dispatch from
Sofia at p m. in which no unto
ward incidents were mentioned as
happening at the capital.
1t is believed here. that If reports
are true. that the outbreak resulted
from the public learning OF the
slaughter OF Bulgarian troops in the
field. Messages received here declare
that the real military situation was
not known in Sofia. The government
suspended all newspapers and the
pnly reports reaching the people are
those issued from the war office which
claims great victories for the forces

Hopes for Peace
LONDON, July 12.-In spite OF re
ports Of disorders in Sofia which
were discredited at the Bulgarian
legation here, hopes for an improve
