week ago was fiourishng and en-
tirely Crack township OF 5000 inhabi-

reeking heap of smouldering ruins, and
the acrid stencil of burning human
flesh and bones overpowers the nostrils.
George Nlakos, the only surviving eye
witness Of the atrocities committed by
the Bulgarians, mentions how he left
Nigrita and was captured with boy
whom he had overtaken They were
beaten. robbed and ordered TO be shot.
The sentries fired, but. seeing they did

them with bayonets. Vlakos continues;

Chief Lying in State.

Reports That Riva's Friends
Plan Vengeance and That
Asbert May Be Rescued.

Havana. July 9-Not since the death
Of Maxine Gomez have there been such
widespread manifestations of grief as at
tended the announcement this morning
that General Armando Riva, chief OF the
Cuban national police, had died during
the night The body was escorted at
noon to the Council Room of the Mu-
nicipal Palace, where II lay in state.
Thousands, passed through the chamber
with spectators who uncovered as the
body and escort passed.
President Menocal. in officially an
nouncing the death, issued a decree that
all honors due to a major general dying
in action be accorded at the funeral cere-
monies tomorrow afternoon
The Supreme Court is still discussing
the mode of prosecution OF the assail-
ants of General Riva, the impression
being that the court will decide to ex-
clude the contention OF congressional I'M
munity in the case of Representatives
Arias and Senator Vidal Morales and d.
rect that their trial be held before the
ordinary courts II is probable, how
ever. that Governor Asbert will be ar
raigned before the Supreme Court.
The Vice-Presdent Of the republic, En-
rique Jose Varona, has issued g. mani
festo to the Conservative party. Of which
he was formerly the leader, urging
prompt prosecution and declaring that
the constitution never intended that legis-
lators should be immune from prosecu-
ton except on charges based solely on
their official actions. The intent Of the
constitutional provision, he points out. was
only TO protect legislators in the discharge
Of their public duties.
