It is said here that if the United States government wishes the gunboat Machias to go to Constantinople for guard duty it will be wholly a matter between the United States and:Turkey, as certainly France, and probably the othet powers, will Interpose no objection to Machlas passing the Dardanelles. ] A dispatch to the Tempes from Sofla, Bul- garia, confirms. the report that the official journal, Dnevnik, which enjoys the confi- dence of the palace and s the organ of Minister Popoff, had published the sensa- tional Information that a treaty of alliance exists between Russia and Bulgarla. The paper claims to possess a copy of the treaty, the terms of which guarantee that In case of war between Bulgaria and Turkey the former shall have the co-opera- tion of Russ! The Tempes emphasizes the statement and declares that the officlals in Bulgaria timed the announcement so as to give Turkey a final warning of the danger of further menacing Bulgarla. Forced to Take Action. LONDON, Sept. 5.—So threatening fs the Macedonian situation that the pow- ors are belng forced to take ac- tion sooner ' than expected. Emperor Francis Joseph, 1t I8 now. learned, brought the powers to a stage where a declsion 1s about to be reached regarding the character of the intervention ihat should be adopted. It is authoritatively de- nled that the intervention contemplates the cecupation of Macedonia by Austria and Russla. “You may reiterate,” said a diplomat who is participating in the negotiations, to a representative of the Assoclated Pres “that the powers continue to act in har- mony, If is not true that Russia h tered Into a secret alliance with Bulg: Roumania is quiescent, but there s an ele- ment of doubt in Servia, In consequence of the predominance of the military in that country " All the diplomatic adviees avallable here agree fn the statement that order prevalls at Constantinople. The few marines landed there' from the guard ships were merely the n extra precaution in view warning against insurgent D. G. Metaxas, the Greek minister to the Court of St. James, today outlined the Greek view of the situation. He sald: The attitude of Greece is entirely mis- understood. What my government desires is the re-establishment of Greece in Mace- donia. The large Greek population in that rovince is subjected to atrocities by the ulgarian revolutionists. The Bulgarians are worse'than the Bashi-Bazouks. They Pose as liberators, but they really aim to ulgarize Macedonla. Greece seeks the welfare of ths whole Christian population. Tales of War Continue. BOFIA, Bulgaria, Sept. 6.—Reports of the proceedings of the ministerfal council at Varna indicate that there has been no change In the attitude of the government on the Macedonian question. For the mo- ment the dissolution of the Sobranje forms the chief subject of discussion., The council is_supposed to be devoting itself chiefly to internal affairs. The coming eiections will probably afford quite as much excitement as the proceedings of the insurgents. Bands of revolutionaries continue to cross the frontier, but scanty news of fighting in northern Macedonia is recelved here. The Insurgents are belleved to'be walting until & larger force shall have assembled. The latest detalls of the fghting at Sirbinoro state that three insurgent bands, assisted by peasants, were engaged with a battalion of Turkish troops. It is reported that 300 Turks were killed. In a thres hours' fight at Kerikkol, near Malkoternovo, between two companies of Turkish soldiers and a revolutionary band the former lost twenty-five men and two officers. The Insurgent loss was shight The Turkish forces are reported to have entirely devastated the district of Kostear, In the vilayet of Monasiir, and to have burned every village In the district. The Autonomfe states that. the inhabi- tants of fourteen villages around Prospan and Okrida have joined the revolutiondrics and thet bands of lasurgents numbering 1,00 are occupying strong positions in the mduntaths. . The numerous rumors of the mohilization ‘of the Bulgarian army which have beeu in circulation here are declared to be absolutely false. The government is sending -troops to strengthen the frontier guard, which action, according to a dis- patch from Rial, is likely to cause trouble between the troops and the insurgents. BIGELOW ON THE BOUNDARY Finds Ane ® Opportunity to Hit untry & Jolt. (Copyright, 193, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, Sept. 6.—(New York World Cablegram — Special Telegram.) — Poultney Bigelow, writing in the Morning Post on relations between the United States and Canada, says: ““The idea of hostility between Canadias and Americans 1 have never seriously heard expressed. There is plenty of news- paper talk inspired by clashing commerclal Interests, but it goes no further. In many respects Canada s better governed than the United Btates; there is less political corruption, better administration of justice and greater respect for law. 1 should regard it as a misfortune for the United States to annex Canada; there are millions in America, however, who would subscribe cheerfully if Canada would annex the United States.” CAN.
