The Macedonian committee has urgently appealed to Prince Ferdinand to show greater interest in the Macedon- ian situation, saying if Macedonia is not soon liberated the position of Bulgaria will become exceedingly critical. The Dnelvik prints to-day what pur- ports to be the accurate details of the train outrage near Kulell Burgas. It says a package was placed in the restaurant car of the train at Budapest containing a bomb, with'a clockwork attachment, which was timed to explode as the train was crossing the bridge at Maritza. It was intended to destroy the bridge and cut off communication between Adrian- ople and Salonica. There is no foundation for the report published in Vienna that the police here have discovered a tunnel leading under the palace of Prince Ferdinand, which is believed to have been constructed with the intention of blowing up the palace. The Porte is not losing time in adopt- ing the strongest measures to suppress the outbreak in the vilayet of Adrianople, Makir Pasha, commanding the artillery, and Sadik Pasha, commanding the infan- try force, have started from. Adrianople for the center of the disturbance at Kirk- Kilischi. Reports from the frontier indicate that increased numbers of recruits are cross- ing in small parties into Macedonia. CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 28.—The Porte has communicated to the embassies of Austria and Russia a memorandum describing the doings of the insurgents in the vilayet of Adrianople. The Russian squadron, which was re- cently at Inlada, European Turkey, has now returned to Odessa. ATHENS, Aug. 28.—Five thousand Mac- edonlans demonstrated here as a protest against the action of the Bulgarian revo- lutionaries, No disorders occurred.

SANTA CRUZ, Aug. 25.—The Advent Christian Conference to-day pledged $550 toward home mission work, and decided to send Rev.

Seven battalions of Turkish troops which arrived at Neveska ;hl- morning are now bombarding the de- ense. SOFIA, Aug. 28.—The Government has dispatched two regiments to the frontier to strengthen the guards and enable them to exercise greater vigilance in view of the anticipated attempts of additional bands of insurgents to enter Macedonia. CONSTANTINOPLE; Aug. 28.—Consid- erable forces of troops have been sta- tioned in the various suburbs of Constan- tinople as a precautionary measwre in EUROPEAN NATIONS OBSERVE WITH INTENSE INTEREST THE ADVANCE OF UNCLE SAM’S MEN-OF-WAR TO THE SHORES OF THE T A S A No Distrust Felt in Paris Concerning America. e Gy ARTS, Aug. 28.—1It is officially stated here that if an American squadron should go to Turkish waters the ac- tion of the United States will not be regarded by France or the other European powers as having any po- litical significance in regard to the near Eastern situation. It is pointed out that the United States has always refrained from taking part in the near Eastern troubles, thie European powers assuming the burden of that situation. An official here likened the presence of an American squadron in Turkish waters to the de- mand made by the British and German warships in Venezuelan waters, the pur- pose in each cdse being to command re- spect and enforce the collection of de- mands not having any connection with the general political conditioms. The latest official advices received here show that the Russian squadron, which was at Iniada, off the east coast of Tur- key, was withdrawn to Sebastopol, where it is awaiting further orders. Italy has one warship, Austria pne and France one in Turkish waters, but in each case large squadrons are held in reserve for action if the situation shall become acute. The increasing gravity of the conditions in Turkey is further shown by an official report just recelved from Philippopolis glving details of the revolutionary plot to blow up the Oriental express. One of the plotters had been designated to sacrifice his life by boarding the train and throwing the bombs. This plot prob- ably was connected with the dynamiting of the omnibus train at Kulell Burgar, but the Philippopolis report establishes the fact that the original plan was aimed against the leading trans-European ex- press for the purpose of impressing the world with the magnitude of the disorder. The reports received here from the French Consuls at Salonica and Monastir are still more reassuring. They say they have no further fear for their lives unless the Turkish goldiery become more lawl The reports add that forty-nine Tur battalions have been withdrawn from Al- bania and concentrated around Salonica, as the Albanian disorders have been crushed. The most remarkable feature of the reports discloses the fact that the Turkish force, which totaled 50,000 men when the troops entered Albania six months ago, has been reduced to 35000 men. Few of the soldiers died of disease. The loss was chiefly in men killed while crushing the Albanian uprising. @imiiei it @ view of the appearance of insurgents less than a hundred miles from the capital. A trainload of troops was dispatched yes- terday from this city to the Scherskekoli, vilayet of Adrianople, near which place three Bulgarian villages were recently at- tacked by Circassians and their inhab- itants massacred. The troops sent to re- inforce the garrison at Kirkkilisseh, thirty-two miles from Adrianople, were routed by insurgents, whose numbers in the vilayet of Adrianople are estimated to be 60,000, WARSHIPS UNDER WAY.
