LONDON, Sept. 2o.-The news from
Bulgaria, which comes through various
channels, now compels the belief that
the Prussia of the Balkans is not merely
seeking.a breathing spell but really wants
peace All the evidence indicates that
she needs it grievously and must have it.

Ferdinand's crown apparently is at stake

The Bulgarian finance, minister and
commander in chief are now on their
