Aftermath of Assassination of
 General

Belgrade. Jugoslavia, Oct. 7.-tP, The Jugoslav minister to Sofia has been authorized to inform the Bull garian government that unless effective measures are taken to dis band Bulgarian groups operating in Macedonia. the Jugoslav govern ment has no other course but to re- call him and to break off diplomatic relations.
 The protest over the activities of the Bulgarian Comitadjis, or irregu- lars, came as a result of the as sassination yesterday of Brigadier- General Michael Kovachevitch, one of the best known officers in the Jugoslav army at Istip, the crime being attributed 10 Comitadjis.
 The Serbian Bulga ran- Macedon- ian frontier has been closed by Jugo- slav government troops and gen. darmes who are haltlng all traffic excepting transit in Macedo onia, un- der the martial law measures taken as result of the assassination. Advices received in Belgrade this afternoon said that band of Bull garian Comitadjis. attacked the Macedonian frontier village of klisura carly this morning, throwing nine bombs In government buildings and later fighting the gendarmes with rifles and hand grenades.
 The attacking party. the adviccs stated, finally was repelled after a pitched battle lasting from one o'clock this morning until daybreak. The casualties were not given in the message.
 The territory of Macedonia. now divided between Greece and Jugo- slavia, has long been a source of grave friction in the Balkans, Bull garian Macedonians never reconcil- district between Greece and Jugo- slavia after the World war.
 Forces of Bulgarian irregulars, known as Comitadjis. alleged at times to be in the pay Of Macedonian eXlles, have made numerous raids along the borders of Bulgaria's three immediate neighbors. JugoSlavia, Rumania and Greece.
 The Bulgarian government has consistently disclalmed any connec- ton with these irregulars and has asserted that it was doing everything possible to compel these Mace donian revolutionaries" to cease activities likely to create hostility be- tween Bulgaria and her neighbors.
