SIXTEENTH YEAR. “DONNYBROOK™ IN DENMARK wo Thousand PT?; Make Lively for the Gendarme STICKS AND STONES VS. SABRES. Thing Receives More and Ovations on His Travels— He Tells Why He Abdicated— The Situation Reviewed, Prince Alexander G Two Thonsand Peasants Excited, CorESHAGEN, (vin Havre), Sept. 10, [New York Herald Cable—Special the Bre.|—The situation is daily becoming more explosive, A preliminary battle has taken place at Broendersley, in North Jutland, be- tween 2,000 peasants, armed with sticks and stones, and avout sixty gendarmes, in which the latter were soundly threshed and put to flight. 1t is feared that this may lead to even more serions revolutionary outbreaks in other parts of the kingdom. The gover: ment throughout the kingdom is consentrating troops at different points and making all pos- sible preparations to crush at the outset any further rising. Estrup’s ministry, a few months ago ereated, contrary to the expressed will of the Danish house of representatives, a large corps of gendarmerie who, in gaudy BLUE AND SILVER UNIFORMS, patrol the country as if it were a conquered provin The most bitter feeling exists b tween the population and the gendarmes, The former are boyeotting the latter who, in some districts, have the utmost difficulty in purchasing the necessaries of life, The peas- ants are shunning as they would a pestilence the hirelings, who, they believe, have sold themselves to fight, mnot the enemies of their country, but e people. The origin at the battle of Broendersley is as follows: A fair was being held at the village, during which a workman got drunk and wmade a great noise in one of the tents, By a stupid mistake the magistrate, instead of sending for the ordinary policemen, who in Denmark are armed merely with elubs like in London, sent for one of the hated blueand silver gendarmes, ARMED WITIZ A SABRE. The gendarne tried toarrest the dronken workman, but the sight of the uniform of the gendarmerie corps, whichthe people Te- fuse to recognize as lawfully constituted, ex- asperated them like ared flag waved before a bull. The peasants seized the gendarme before he could draw his sabre and pitched him headfirst into a large vat of dirty water. Six [more gensdarmes appeared and were at once stoned by the crowd and driven away. A detachment of fifty gendarmes then came up and charged the crowd with drawn sabres. The peasants, WNo now numbered 2,000, calmly awaited the attack behind a stone wall on the crest of the hill outside the village. When the gendarmes came within ten paces they were receved with TREMENDOUS SHOWERS OF STONES, Fight gendarmes fell to the ground with se- vere wounds and cut heads. The peasants then, with loud shouts, sprang over the wall and with long sticks and stones completely overwhelmed the gendarmes, who, with torn uniforms and bleeding wounds, ran off as fast as they could. On the side of the people ubout thirty were wounded with sabres. !"U'his is the first time the gendarmes have had occasion to use their sabres against the peo- ple. The government has sent large rein- forcements of gendarmes and troops, but several regiments of the latter are believed to be ready to join the people. At the last mo- ment the government is trying its utmost to discover the LEADERS OF THIS OUTBREAK, but the movement was so spontaneous that there can barely be said to have been any Jeaders. The situation is most critical. Berg, the “Danish 0’Connel,” whose view have been given heretofore, is doing his utmost to prevent a further outbreak and bloodshed. King Christian supports more firmly than ever the Estrup ministery, The recent hurried departure of the Princess of ‘Wales Is believed to be not unconnected with the present strained situation, The blood of both mo! hists and coustitutionalists is now up and lively times may be expected. JUST FROM THE SEAT OF WAR. LATER—Regarding the riots In Denmark, siuce my last telegram [ have seen several eye-witnesses, who describe the encounter as most exciting, The weather was brilliant and the fair in every way a success, The roundabouts were in full swing, the music playing and the young people beginning to grow noisy, when suddenly n gendarme bri through the crowd and is seen hand- ling a half drunken man roughly, The gay scene Is changed in a moment, the uniform of the gendarme working on the peasants Wwith magie effect. The cry is raised, “DOWN WITH THE GENDARMES,” and several of them close around their com- rade. The cavalry make an attack, using their swords like wood cutters’ axes against the thick forest of unarmed men before them. ‘I'his served but w enrage the crowd. The peasants have only sticks but are nothing daunted. They throw themselves against the soldiers and o fearful melee of swords against sticks ensued. The alr is filled with tha cries of the wounded. Tent: animals and men lie seatfered over the ground and the swords play great havoe. But soon the gendarmes fly for their lives, As soon they are ont of sight ordev ed. reactionary papers press for extreme ime: ures against this spontancous outburst of publie feeling and the government is pre- pared to act and accordingly a state of siege has been proclaimed at Broendersley, Many of the wounded were arrested, To-day the elections for one-ialf part of the upper house commence.

Sept. 10,-- [New York Ierald Cable~Speetal to the Bree)--While Prince Alexander was on his way to Pesth he was presented to Pricce Philippe de Bourbon and General Klapka.

DIDN'T LIKE rince took oceasion to intimate to the stralian consul at Sofin that it was dis eeable for him while traveling to be ever made the subject of announcements r his arrival at departure from long the route. Notwitustanding immense gathering took place at the railway depot hiere last night, From 7 o'cloek there was in waiting a_crowd mostly made up of tradesmen, largely dressed in holiday attire, of women decorated with flowers, and of students, The train came in at 8:30 p, m. The saloon earriage remained withont the depot and the prince waited ten minutes af ter he stepped ont. THE WELCOMING Yet the specches bidding the prince [welcome had to be made from the platform. One of those to greet Alexander was a Hessian priznce, his countryman, When finally the brince entered an open tincre with his brother aburstof cries, “Long Live the Prince, “Long Live the Future Emperor of Bul- garia,” filled theair. WILD ENTHUSIASM. The carriage was thercupon driven to the Western railway depot, where the pressure of the throng was so great as to endanger the prince’s life. Some men attempted to carry Alexander on their shoulders, but the effort met with only partial suc In the wait- ingz room the prince. partook of supper and lad to decline to reccive several deputations inwaiting. among them one from the Polish under Zagoda. One persistent lady handed to Alexander a coin by way of talisman. Wlen the train left with the prine 45 p. m, his saloon carriage was LADEN WITH FLOWE All the carriages in the depot were crammed with speetators, who sent their enthusiastic good-byes after the prince. The subsequent run to Pesth was a succession of demonstrations, At Presburg a musieal choir met and greeted the distinguished traveler.

OrsovA, Sept. 10.—[New York Herald Cable—Special tothe BEg.]—A deserintion of the real situation seems at present, where nothing is tobe altered for the better or worse, most opportune. The vrince returned from Lemberg in order toaid in the preserva tion of the monarchical principle which had been violated. It was his determination to punish the revolutionists, to restore quiet and order in the land and then to leave Butgavia, although lie wavered in this latter decision on account of the enthusiastic reception ac- corded him by the Bulgarians. The vain at- tempts ata reconciliation with Lussia, and the cousequent exasperation of the Bulza- nans, had nurtured and developed in the hearts of the people a COMPLETE MORAL BEWILDERME Indeed, it is to be wondered tha people have withstood to such a degree these demoralizing influences. The investigation regarding the most recent conspiracics have snown beyond all doubt that, irrespective of those persons who directly participated in the coup d’etat, there were many who were well informed of tive plans, though unwilling to divulge their information to the proper authonties. Men of high positions and stand- iilg have been severely compromised—the complicity of the minister of war, Nikifaroff, to cite an instance not to be doubted. The nly way to restore order in the country was to punish all guilty persons and to SHOOT THE RINGLEADERL, and this the prince firmly decided to do. however, received a note from Russia, € many and Austria wherein he was prohib- ited by the powers from executing even one of the conspirators. Russia aftirmed that should the prince disregard her orders she would immediately retaliate by occupying Bulgaria with Russian troops. Under these circumstances the prince w urally de- prived of every possibility of establishing peaceful relations in his kingdom, inasmuch as the revolutionists, by reason of their im- munity from punishment and by means of well known expedients, could, on the short- est notice, CREATE ANOTHER UPRISING. The interior political condition of Bulgaria would, in conscquence, become unsettled, the discipline of the army would be relaxed, and the powers would continue to deny th ce the authority of restoring pe ac cording to his will. These facts, taken to- gether, compelled the prince to abdicate if b did not wish to subject his country to the dangers of a Russian occupation. Duringhis seven years reign the prince bas derived but little pleasure from his rule in Bulgar He would have long ago relinquislhied all eclaims had he paid regard to personal interest merely. An enduring government, sup- ported solely by England’s platonic symps thy, was an impossibility, considering the upavoidable attitude of mighty Russia to- ward the prince. A CONSTITUTIONATL OBJECTION. somewhat naive constitution, more- over, having granted the yet young and po- litically immature nation too extended rights which it did not know how to employ to ad- vantage, proved an obstacle rather than a wort to the prinee’s political activity, The 11 of the prince by the people after the neful complot indicates at least that the ince understood how to win him ITY FOR IS CAUSE, It was a brilliant act of confidence on the part of the nation, but as the prince was unable to disarm hostility abroad, he consid- ered 1t best to abdicate, and that this could be accomplished with dignity, yes, even with splendor, is fully evidenced by homage such a5 has seldom been awarded to a returning conqueror and never to an expelled prince, The Bulgarian Troops.

Arrest of an ex-Soldier Who Buried Treasures During the War, CnicAco, Sept. 10.—The Times’ New Or- leans special says: Dr. George J. Adams, of Massachusetts, was arrested here to-day chargzed with encbezzlement by a number of persons whom he defrauded out of money to search for a hidden treasure, Adams claims to have been a practicing physician in Massachusetts. When the war broke out he shouldered his musket and joined company A, Seventeenth Massachusetts volunteers, a portion of the command which came with Butler to New Orleans. In a foraging expedition three soldiers of th regiment entered a dwelling on Magnolia plantation, twenty miles above New Orleans, on the right bank of the river, and ecarried off some $30,000 1n gold and silver—$1,500 of it in silver half dollars, $1,000 in dollars and the rest in gold. Being afraid to enter the city with so much money, on reaching a pecan grove about half a mile from the locks at the company canal opposite ireenville, or rather the rend of the ex- position grounds, they selected a tree promi- nent for ifs size and some pecuharities about appearance which made it conspienous, At thie foot of this tree they buried the money and took the bearings, one of the party being a civil engineer, Each of the three mén were furnished with a copy of this and the marauders returned to New Orleans, in- tending® to return after the war and the money. His two companions were killed and Adams desperately wounded soon after, Adains was taken to a southern hospital and left it paralyzed and perfeetly helpless, When he recovered the use of his'limbs only a_month ago, he returned to New Orleans and at once began to search for his tre He foundto his dismay that all the older pecan trees had been ciut down and only the young ones left, and was consequently unable 10 recognize the tree under which the treasure was buried.
