Under the treaty of Berlin this right Is given the porte, providing no irregular troops are em ployed and no stop is made en route to the frontier. Tho sultan can thus Invade Bul garia while acting on his own rights nnd giving no cause for the powers interfering.

As at present arranged, throe col umns of Turks will be moved north ward: one from Kirk Kiilesse to Burgas. The second from Adrlauople to Sllvn. Tho third from Adrlanoplc to Phlloppolls. All will then proceed northward. The dlspatcu adds the plan will be put Into operation within 15 days. It has developed that Admiral Cot ton at Beirut appealed for permission to land tho marines, but the porte declined to do so, inasmuch as the fighting Is between subjects of the ottoman empire only, and foreign property and life are not supposed to be In danger Long, Terrific Slaughter.
