London, Oct. 6.-Bulgaria has re-
jected the Russian demands and has
sent an ultimatum 10 Serbia concern
ing Macedonia, according to infor-
nation which has reached the Ser
bian Archimandrite Michael, says a
telegram to the Petrograd "Bourss
Gazette" Bulgaria demands a Ser
bian reply within twenty-four hours.
The Russian Minister has notified
Premier Radoslavoff Of rupture Of
diplomatic relations between the two
countries, according to a Reuter- dis
patch from Sofia. Russian interests
in Bulgaria have been confided to the
Dutch Charge d'Affaires. Bulgaria's
reply, says the dispatch, was deliv.
cred at 2:40 o'clock on the afternoon
of October 5.
The Bulgarian Legation here, how
ever, as yet has no information
either of the rejection of the Russian
demands or of the ultimatum to
Serbia. 1t was pointed out that as
kilograms from Sofia require nearly
sixteen hours for transmission, no
confirmation could be expected until
tomorrow.
1t is understood here that tho
British and French ministers at Sofia
have received instructions TO leave
Bulgaria when Russia breaks off re-
lations.
The Russian Foreign Office, accord
ing to a Petrograd dispatch, regarded
the breach as inevitable. Military sc-
tion against Bulgaria, however. the dis
patch says, is not contemplated unless
the latter attcks Serbia or takes other
measures clearly inimical to the inter
ests of the Entente Allies.
The Bulgarian Consul at Petrograd,
NJ. Kamazyref. departed last night By
way of Finland. Many Bulgarians re-
siding in Russia are reported as of
fering 10 enlist i'm the Russian army.
Germany is paying the expenses of
Bulgarian mobilization, according to
the Milan "Corriere della Sera." Mill
tary action by Bulgaria was considered
indispensable in encouraging Turkey
to continued resistance. II also is as
serted that Germany agreed 10 advance
the Bulgarian government sl0,000,000
a month to help the families of reser-
visits, hoping thereby 10 check the tide
Of anti-German feeling which was re-
ported TO be rising.
Bulgaria Disgusting Motive.
That Bulgaria is only advancing tho
Macedonian question as "A blind 70 her
real intentions was the statement OF
Liouba Jovanoyi,ch, Serbian Minister
of the Interior. in ar interview IN the
Petrograd "Novoe Nremya."
"To mask her real aims IN nobiliz-
ing" said the minister, Bulgaria has
again advanced the Macedonian ques
ton which is essentially Slavic fam
ily affair Of secondary importance At
the time of world war. During the

fered Sofia TO make any reasonable
agreement concerning Macedonia, in
addition 10 which the Entente Allies
repeatedly have attempted 70 reach
peaceful solution Of this question in
order to avert the danger threatening
Slavdom.
"All these efforts we're unsuccessful,
because there is no critical Macedonian
question. The question now is German
influence, the complete subordination
Of Bulgaria 10 German interests.
Germany is not interested in Slavic
affairs She is merely using the Mace
9onian question TO promote her hegem

conquest OF the Near East
