Dispatches arrived | to~-day from the disturbed area are exceed- ingly gloomy. From Adrianople comes the news of a Turkish defeat and the ex- | tension of a revolutionary outbreak, from | Monastir the news of Turkish victories, accompanied by barbarous excesses. WOMEN AMONG VICTIMS. ‘While many of the reports remain with- out confirmation, sufficient authentic de- tails are forthcoming to cause the author- ities the gravest anxiety. According to the Sofia Dnevenik, the Turks committed unspeakable atrocities at Krushevo. The mutilated corpses of ninety women and children were found iIn one building; pleces of the bodies had been thrown into the street. Fifteen of the principal mer- chants of the town were killed and their heads exhibited on poles at Monastir, The churches were demolished, ‘the houses sacked and the town is now a heap of ashes. The populace fled to the hills, where they are in a starving condition. The Dnevenik also asserts that a general massacre has taken place in the whole vilayet of Monastir. Nearly all the vil- lages have been destroyed. The treacher- ous murder of eighty insurgent prisoners by thelr guards has made an especially bad impression here. ANARCHY AND WAR. Anarchy exists at Losengrad. Fighting is proceeding everywhere in the nelghbor- hood. Insurgent bands have occupied the strategic points around Malkoternevo. Eight villages to the north of Losengrad have been burned by Bashi-Bazouks. The insurgents attacked two Turkish posts in the vicinity of the same town and killed the entire garrison, consisting of sixty soldiers and one officer. At Almogic sixty insurgents engaged in fighting with 300 Bashi-Bazouks. The result is not known. The town of Bunar Hissar has been burned and a part of the Bulgarian popu- lation was massacred. The rest of the Bulgarians fled to the mountains. At Burgas Maju, after eighteen hours’ fighting, the garrison was killed by reb- | cions of the Turl | by the Russian and who also destroyed the garrisons of klihor and Kalovo.

STREETS. Additional Reports of the Terrible Conditions at Krushevo. SOFIA, Bulgaria, Aug. 24. Turks are reported to have massacred all the women -and children in twenty-two vil- lages of the districts of Florina and Mon- astir and afterward to have burned the villages. They are also alleged to have killed a number of prisoners. The streets of Krushevo are said to be strewn with dead and the survivors are afrald to bury the bodies, fearing to incur the suspi- Following the proclamation of the rev- olution throughout the vilayet of Adrian- ople the insurgents cut ali the telegraph lines connecting the city of Adrianopie with ihe eastern parts of the vilayet. There are unconfirmed rumers here that fighting and massacres are proceeding in the streets of Adrianople. Reports from Monastir, authenticated Austrian Consuls, give horrifying details of the massacres and atrocities, At the village of Armen- sko the Turks destroyed 150 houses out of a total of 157 and massacred every man, woman and child. The women were subjected to the most terrible atrocities by the soldiers. Eight revolutionists, cap- tured at Krushevo, who were sent in_ the direction of Monastir in chains, Were slaughtered by their guards. The sani- tary conditions of Krushevo are described as revolting. The dead are lying in the streets, stripped of every garment, the Turks even taking the vestments off the body of a prie i MRS SR TWO HUNDRED KILLED.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 24.—Tie Italian Embassy has notified the Porte that it holds it responsible for any in- jury which may be done to the Consul of Italy at Monastir and demands the punishment of those who insulted the Consul recently by calling him a “glaour’” (infidel).

Democrats and the Populists in Ne- braska May Unite. COLUMBUS, Nebr., Aug. 24.—Although the Democratic State Convention does not convene until to-morrow evening, intense Interest already prevails, and to-day a large number of delegates and leaders had arrived. It {s confidently expectad that Judge Sullivan, at present an ‘asso- ciate on the Susreme bench, will be re- nominated. There are also two university regents to be nominated and over these places will come the contest should there be any. A number of prominent Democrats have put themselves on record as opposed io fusion, while others still adhere to the policy of joining hands with the Populists and dividing the ticket. While Mr. Bryan | has not made his pesition clear, it s be- lieved he favors fusion and many rely on his influence to secure harmony. GRAND ISLAND, Nebr., Aug, 24.—In- terest in the Populist State Convention, | Which meets here to-morrow, manifested itdelf to-day in the arrival of a number of party leaders, among them former | Senator Willlam V. Allen. The question of fusion is the predominant one and Sen- ator Allen has sounded the keynote of op- position. In a letter written to a Madi- son (Nebr.) newspaper, Mr. Allen takes exception to Mr. Bryan's stand on tle question and asserts that the Populist party must declare its independence. Tle says, however, that Judge John J. Sulli- van, Supreme Court, will be renominated by the Populists. Judge Sulllvan is a Democrat. S—— O ———— Yountville Suffers Loss by Fire.

The Desert Mine Owners' Association, in conference with President Nelson of the Miners' Union, refused to pay more than the old scale, $3 50 for sinking shafts and $8 for sto- ping and drifting, while the union Insists upon a straight $3 50 a day for all miners regardless of the class of work and $3 for shovelers. It is evident that the mine owners in- tend to force matters and it is learned that 200 non-union men are to be sent to | the YeRow Aster at once. It is thought, | however, that it will be some time before operations ean be commenced, as many repairs will have to be made to put the mine again in shape. There are sald to be a number of new cave-ins as a result of the long shutdown. —— Richmond Car Strike Is Off.
