ATROCITIES OF THE BULGARs
Terrible Story OF outrases
Committed Upon Greek and
Mussulman Resi-
dents.

New York.-King Constance OF
Greece, from his headquarters at Hadji
Beilik. near Seres, gave out detailed
account OF the atrocities of the Bull
garians In Macedonia. He declares
that only the precipitate fight of the
inhabitants of the villages and towns
prevented a still greater slaughter.
THE first city to be scourged was
Nigriti. A large number of its people
who had remained at their homes after
the events occurring in the Panghoon
district were massacred by the re-
treating enemy, who did not fail to
light the path of their fight by the
flames of the city to which they had
applied the torch.
THE correspondents of LIE Temps
and The Daily Telegraph who visited
the locality the day after the mas
sacres merely confirmed In greater de-
tail the dispatches of the command
ers of nur troops.
"The precipitate flight of the peas
ants In the surrounding villages is the
only reason why we have not greater
number of victims to deplore. On our
lsft wing 700 Mussulmans of the en-
'ironments of Killkish, a nest of Bull
garian Comitadis irregular troops)
shared the same fate. Two of our Off
GERS, who in a bayonet assault had
been left lying wounded on the field
few steps from the enemys trenches
were found, when the attack was re-
newed, to have had their eyes gouged
out
AT Doiron, before their flight the
enemy dragged the metropolitan and

"The religious ie,sler Of the Mussul-
mans. with tears inslis eyes, told US OF
the spoliations and pillage Of the Bull
garian officers and soldiers.
"At Strumitza. fortunately, the
enemy had time to kill only two of the
persons imprisoned. But all these
things are as nothing compared with
what happened at Dimirhissar, Seres
and Doxato, where everything was
sacked by fire and sword.
"The city of Seres is nothing more
than a mass of smoking ruins, filed
with mutilated corpses of old men and
women and children.
THE consuls general of Italy and
Austria at Salonika. who visited Seres
for the purpose Of establishing to what
extent their, nations had suffered, have
told us that the accounts published in
the newspapers gave but faint idea
of the terrible reality.
AT Dimirhissar the exhumation OF
the mutilated bodies Of the Metro
politan and the leading citizens have
convinced us that oui enemy is not
satisfied to pillage, burn, despoil and
murder. but he rejoices in torturing
/ his victims
'Doxato is no longer anything but

NICARAGUA TO
Be PROTECTED
Secretary Bryan Outlines a
New Policy.
PROPOSAL A BIG SURPRISE.
Exclusive Canal Rights and Ninety
Nine-Year Lease To Naval
Base Among the Pro-
visions.

Washington.-A new policy toward
Nicaragua, involving the virtual con-
trol ol the affairs OF that republic by
the Epised States through protec.
over Cuba, Was Sdtilned Is 81. lsss.
Bryan at private conference with
members of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee.
Mr. Bryan's proposal, coming as a
complete surprise to most of the mem
bers of the committee, has been taken
by many Senators as the first pro-
nouncement of a general policy on the
part of the Administration to extend
American control over the countries
surrounding the. Panama Canal and to
assure the stability of Central Amer
ican republics and the domination by
the United States of their relations
with other great powers.
Secretary Bryan went before the
committee with revised draft of the
proposed Nicaraguan treaty, negotiated
first In the Taft administration by
which the United States would secure
exclusive canal rights across Nicaragua
and new naval base in exchange for
S3,0O0.000 gold payment.
AS a new feature of the treaty, how
ever, the Secretary of State proposed
that language similar, if not indentical,
with the so-called "Platt amendment"
relating to Cuba be injected in the
treaty, giving the United States sweep
ing control of Nicaraguan affairs and
the power to regulate her foreign re-
lations and her finances.
Under the proposed plan Nicaragua
would agree in substance:
That war should not be declared
without the consent of the United
States
THAT no treaties would be made
with foreign governments that would
tend TO destroy her independence or
that would give those governments a
foothold in the republic.
That no public debt would be con-
treated beyond the ordinary resources
of the Government. as indicated by
the ordinary revenues.
THAT the United States should have
the right to intervene at any time to
preserve Nicarsguan independence or
to protect life or property"
"That the United States should have
the exclusive right to build canal
across Nicaragua and should have a
99-year lease to a naval base in the
bay of Fonseca and to the Great Corn
and Little Corn Islands in the Carri
beam with the privilege of renewing
the lease"
