Sultan Sanctions Reforms. SOFIA, Sept. 24.—The diplomatic agents of Russia and Austria-Hungary have in- formed the Bulgarian government that they have been Instructed to communicate that thelr governments, in agreement with other great powers, are resolved never to depart from the published program of re- forms in Macedonla, and that Bulgaria must not count on any support for any other purpose. The agents further an- nounced that the same declaration would be made at Constantnople. ‘The imperial Ottoman commiesioner has informeg the Bulgarian government that the sultan has promulgated an irade sanc- tioning the program of reform which is to be carried out by & mixed commission, and that he has deputed Hilmi Pasha to su- perintend the work, with orders to suspend the persecution of the Bulgarians. As no tndication is glven concerning the constitu- tion of the mixed comm'ssion, or as to am- nesty of political offenders, demanded by Bulgeria, there is no disposition here to belleve that the negotiations will be effec- tive. When the Turkish diplomatic agent this morning communicated the sultan’s irade to Premler Petroff the latter is re- ported to have answered that so long as Turkey docs not withdraw its troops from the frontier and does not fulfil all its prom- ises, Bulgaria is justified in belleving that Turkey s talking merely for talking’s sake. The Sofla press refers to the irade in simi- Jar terms and declines to consider it seri- ously. According to unconfirmed reports the fn- | murgents have captured the town of Melnlk, sixty-five miles from Salonica. fighting is also reported from the nelghbor- hood of Nevrokop, while telegrams from Burgas describe the the thousands of refugees who h: there. arrived ulet in Bulgaria.
