HideOuS Stories Become More Terrible as the Details Slowly
 Diyulged.
MURDERS ARE MANY
MutiIatiOn Is PraCtiCed on a Scale in Manner too Appalling to
 Describe.

LONDON, Nov. .. - The feelings of horror and fury which have been aroused here as hideous stories Of Bulgarian atrocities become known, are proving more intense every day Little is published in the newspa- pers. A full recital of the details is impossible, and even watered accounts would cause too painful an impression. Gradually however the public is becoming acquainted with the reyolting manner in which the Bulgarians are behaving.
 Those who know them and whose memory recalls earlier instances of their ferocity find nothing new in their barbarous conduct now. The wholesale murder of prisoners is on a scale so vast as to be incredible One of the last horrible crimes charged against them is that mutil- ation has been practiced on a scale and in manner too appalling to describe. The bodies of soldiers are maltreated in a most shocking way. and not only soldiers, but also old men, women and children are
