INCREASE FRONTIER GUARD Clash With Turkish Troops Is Feared When They Arrive to Put Dbtvk. Revelation Many More .Villages Burned.. RUSSIA. TO WITHDRAW FLEET PARIS, Aug. 21. Official advices say the Russian squadron off Inlda Is like ly to leave Turkish urate ra -within tho next few days, as tho Turkish govern- merit has given adequate assurances that It "trill meet all the Eurasian de mands. The -withdrawal -will be chiefly due to Turkey's assurances; hut also to Hues la's dcelro to avoid a step which might appear antagonistic to Bulgaria. SOFIA, Aug. 21. All tho dispatches re ceived here today indicate that the revolu tion in Macedonia Is spreading. The sit uation is causing intense anxiety in Offi cial circles. The most alarming news re bates to an attack covering a considerable urea In the eastern part of the Adrlanople Vilayet, where the insurgents have cap tured the town of "Vasillko. They took the chief Turkish officials prisoners, and brought them to the Bulgarian frontier, where they liberated them. The Turkish officials, fearing to return to Vasillko, sought refuge with the Bulgarian authori ties, who sent them to a hotel In Burgas, where they were at liberty to remain or depart The insurgents burned the villages around Vasillko and attacked a Turkish military post at the Monastery of Elijah. The eastern part of the Adrlanople Vila yet Is a mountainous region, and the vll lages are few and scattered. Tho strength of the insurgents is unknown. It is thought the outbreak is not an organized movement, but is intended to draw the Turkish troops from the other districts. New Danger In Outbreak. Tha peculiar danger of tho latest out break lies in its proximity to the Bui garlan frontier, thus creating a situation long foreseen and dreaded by the Sofia government. The Turks are now certain to send a considerable force to this terri tory to suppress the outbreak, which will necessitate the strengthening of the BuU garlan troops along the frontier. With the two armies close to each other, un der tho present strained relations, the sit uation becomes extremely desperate. The Bulgarian Government is taking every possible step to prevent a commercial amity, but tho officials express the grav est concern. In addition to the danger of a collision "between the military forces, there is no smaller one of popular excitement get ting beyond control and forcing the gov- I ernment to adopt a belligerent attitude. Meanwhile, tho community remains quiet, even the Macedonian part of the popula tion showing no popular anxiety and en thusiasm. Insurgents Barn Village. Tho Insurgents completely burned Vas illko and also 12 villages. in the neighbor hood. The Bulgarian officials arrested the Insurgents who brought the Turkish officials at Vasillko to the Bulgarian frontier. Severe fighting is reported to be proceeding near Gehgele, with heavy losses on both sides. The Sofia Dnevjlk declares all the Turkish vilayets In Macedonia will be in full revolt August 28, and that tho rev olution Is spreading from Salonlca into the districts toward Seres. Several new banda have appeared In the district of Voden, southeast from Monastlr. A gen eral panic prevails in the vilayet of Uskub, where the Inhabitants are hiding their property. Tho Turkish and Chris tian Inhabitants at Kumanovo have agreed mutually to support each other in tho event of an attack either by in surgent bands or Turkish soldiers. At Kratovo, half of the Turkish gar rison has deserted, the men saying they have enough to do at home. The Turkish authorities have mobilized their whole forces in Macedonia, numbering 18,000 men. A largo body of Asiatic troops is ready to move. Twenty-four regiments are only awaiting their marching orders. Rich Macedonian Arrested. The Macedonian revolutionary organi sation is levying heavy assessments on the rich Macedonians resident in Bulga ria. They have drawn up a complete list of names with the amounts to be de manded against each. Russia's move in sending warships to Turkish waters has caused surprise in diplomatic circles and disapproval and regret in government quarters. The fool ing expressed here is that It enn only do harm In Inclining the insurgents who are ignorant of the complications of Eu ropean politics, to the belief that Russia is supporting thoir cause against the Turks. It is also conjectured that. Rus sia having apparently acted without first consulting Austria, some rifts, have oc curred In the concert of the powers. Whatever may "be the explanation, the feeling here is that Russia's movement can bnly have the result of giving a great impetus to the revolutionary move ment. SCORES THEM FOR HUMBERT. Labor 1 Brines Several Officials Into the Noted Swindle Case. PARIS, Aug. 2L Public interest Is growing more Intense as the Humbert trial Is nearlng Its conclusion, and the crowds at tho Palace of Justice were much augmented this morning. Among those who had places near the Judges today was Senora Castro, wife of tho president of Venezuela, who was ac companied by the Venezuelan Minister. Maltre Laborl continued his address for the defense, averring that the larger cred itors had acted through attorneys, who should be held responsible, while the small creditors would have been paid If the Rente Vlagere had not been wrecked through the premature prosecution of the Humberts. Maltre Laborl caused a considerable sensation by a bitter denunciation of M. Cattaul. the money-lender, for prosecut ing tho Humberts, and Incidentally men tioning M. Waldeck-Rousseau's and M. Vine's part in the prosecution. He de clared the political party leaders bad be come degenerate. M. Ville, counsel pointed out, was hired as attorney against Humbert, and afterward became? Minister of Justice, supervising thelr prosecutlcn. M. Cattaul, he asserted, be longed to tho class which is brlnglns dis- honor to France and seeking to gain all through, the use of money, thus corrupt ing the public administration. The charge of Maltre Labor!, although avoiding specific declarations, reflected severely on the chief persons in the De- partrnent ox Justice. He asserted the existence of the Crawfords. and main tained that the prosecution had failed to establish that they and the millions did not exist. The trial was adjourned until tomorrow.

The For eign Offlce officials made It clear to him that Great Britain has taken no action of this character, and It appears as If Italy will also refrain from carrying out her decision to dispatch warships to Tur- wey, as tho Italian Embassy says no re port of their departure has yet been re ceived. This is taken by the Emoassy to indicate that there have been develop ments making the step inadvisable or unnecessary at the present moment, per haps due to the Turkish acceptance of the Russian demands, which was con firmed, at the Turkish Embassy. The negotiations respecting Macedonia are conducted on the Continent, Foreign Secretary Lansdowne and most of the. Ambassadors being away from London. The Turkish Ambassador leaves Lon don tomorrow for the country, where he will remain for some days. The diplomats point out that the scheme for a settlement of the Macedonian ques tion, outlined by the Independents Beige yesterday, could not be approved by the powers, as It Is evident Turkey would never submit to a peaceful occupation olj Turkish official said this could only be done after fighting.

POLITICIANS DISCOUNT ALARM Conditions ia Government Printing: Office' Held Long: to Have Been a Disgrace, Because of Mixing of Business and Politics. NEW YORK, Aug. 21. Speclal. A special from Washington to the Evening Post tonight says: "President Roosevelt's stand on the union labor question is nowhere nearly so dangerous, politically, according to the opinion of advisers- of long experience, as some of the persons who took alarm at publication of his letters In the Miller case would have made him believe. "The conditions In the public service brought to light by the Miller case have long been a disgrace. It has been fre quently pointed out in these dispatches that the Government printing offlce has been so absolutely under the control of the union that whenever unionism and political Influence have come squarely into contact, interesting results have followed. One stubborn man for years pulled a swinging door open with a cord when ever anybody desired to go through, al though he had the capacity of a first-class operative, and -wis drawing the salary of one. He would not join the union he was Southerner and his political pull was sufficient. Southern Senators usually care nothing about union labor except when the question can be snown to affect their Democratic associates In the North. The unions were willing that this man should have the salary to which bis political pull entitled him, but unwilling that be should work at his trade." QUAY'S LAST RACE MADE.

I said so at the Academy of Music meeting In this city, and I still hold to it, but that's an old story. Why don't you ask me something really new?" HIS END IS VERY NEAR.

Sir" Thomas Up ton, his Captains and the. crews of his fleet at Sandy Hook were by no means disheartened today. Sir Thomas was as optimistic as usual, and cheerfully ex plained that yesterday's race was not con clusive, while Captain Wrlnge, of tho Shamrock III, was as good natured and hopeful as" ever. All appeareo to believe that there would be a different story to tell If tho next race- was sailed in a fair racing wind. It was pointed out by an officer of the Erin today that the Shamrock III had never been exceedingly fast- In drifting. j.ne oniy race in wnicn tno anamrocKvi ever beat her was sailed In little better than a calm, and in many cases, under similar conditions, the Shamrock III had been unable to drop her. pacemaker until the wind Increased to five knots or better, after which she showed a remarkable In crease in speed. Tonight the friends of the Shamrock III were hoping for a wind that will enable the boats to sail the race an hour within the time limit.

I have been here now since June, and we never had anything so bad. It was purely matter of luck. The Shamrock got no show from the wind. The Reliance was getting all the wind she wanted to foot away from us with, while the Shamrock was lylngTvithout a breath. Whenever we did get a breeze we lost no time In making up the Reliance's gain, but the luck never lasted with us. "As a matter of fact, the Shamrock came about to come home, seeing it was hopeless to continue when she was get' ting no wind. The Reliance's sall3 were full when our sails were lying limp. The Shamrock while the wind lasted did better work yesterday than the Reliance. Others may say what they like on this matter. but this is my positive belief." England About Gives Up. LONDON, Aug. 21. AH tho press com ment here on Shamrock s performance evidences the-growing conviction that she Is Incapable of recapturing the America's cup under any weather conditions. The afternoon newspapers claim that yester day's race showed nothing of the respect ive merits of tho two boats, but they ad mit that the performance of the chal lenger did not fulfill the expectations of her behavior in a light wind, and say that Captain Barr seems to have shown smarter seamanship.
