O | OFIA, Bulgaria, Sept. 10.—The con- tinuous reports of wholesale mas- Jsacres of the Bulgarian popula- tion and the destruction of Bul- garian villages in Macedonia are causing much excitement in political and general circles here. While Premier Pe- troff’s intimation that Bulgaria would soon be forced into war unless the powers intervene was conveyed in the course of informal conversation with the diplomats in Sofia and in no sense intended as an official communication, it may be regard- ed as an indication that the patience of the Bulgarian people is becoming ex- hausted. Every day brings news of fresh mas- sacres and outrages in Macedonia. The revolutionary organizations to-day pub- lished elaborate statistics, giving the names of 111 villages burned by the Turk- ish soldiers, the number of houses in each, the date of the incendiarism and particu- lars of the number of persons murdered in each case, Official representatives residing here are ) susiciously reticent. but no doubt ex- ists regarding the terrible barbarities practiced by the Turkish regulars and Bashi Bazouks on helpless women and children in Macedonia. The Sofia Gov- ernment has hitherto withstood all at- tempts on the part of the Macedonian committees In an attempt to draw Bulga- ria into a war with Turkey, but the trend of affairs is daily becoming more ecritical and the position of the Ministry more dif- ficult. TARDY POWERS MAY ACT. The official view of the situation con- tinues pessimistic, but in other quarters the belief prevails that the powers will shortly propose a new scheme of pacifi- cation in Macedonia and thus remove the possibility of a Turko-Bulgarian war. Much confidence is expressed that the approaching visit of the Czar to Vienna will result in the peaceful solution of the difficulties. Telegrams from the frontier indicate approaching disturbances In Northern and < Eastern Macedonia.

The great forest of Pirin is burning. The Turks set fire to the forest in four places and the flames are visible at a great distance. Fighting is reported to be taking place near Melnik and another fight is also go- ing on in the vilayet of Monastir.
