BALKAN SITUATION AFFECTED
Situation la More Grnrc Than Erer
BulgarlHn. Premier Holds That the
Macedonian Involution "Will
Jfot Be "Widespread.
6T. PETERSBURG. -Aug. 15. A squad
ron of the Russian Black Sea fleet has
been ordered to sail for Turkish waters.
Notification of this move has been tele
graphed from Sevastopol to the Russian
Ambassador at Constantinople.
The dispatch of the squadron is lntenOM
to emphasize Russia's Intention of exact
ing complete compliance -with her de
mands as to satisfaction for the murder
by a Turkish gendarme of her Consul at
Monastir. .
The following telegrams exchanged be
tween the foreign office and Russian rep
resentatives abroad show the first steps
taken as a consequence of the murder of
M. Rostkovoskl. the Russian Cpnsul at
Monastir: .
"On August 11, Count Lamsdorff. the
Foreign Minister, telegraphed to M. Zino
vieft, Russian Ambassador at Constanti
nople that neither the Sultan's expres
sion of regret, the visit of Prince Ahmed,
the Sultan's son, to the Ambassador, nor
the expressions of sympathy by the Grand
Vizier and other high Turkish dig
nitaries was considered to be ade
quate satisfaction for the murder of Rost
kovoski." .
"When M. St. Chberina, the Russian
Consul, was murdered- at Mitrovitza,"
continued Count Lamsdorf. "the Czar
took into account the fact that the mur
derer was an Albanian whose tribe was In
rebellion against the government. The out
rage at 3Ionastir, however; was of quite
another character, and called for the
severest punishment. The Czar, therefore
ordered that no promises on the part of
the Turkish government should bo accept
ed, but that demands should bo made as
follows:
"The immediate severe punishment of
the murderer; the arrest and exemplary
punishment of the -person who fired at M.
(Rostkovoskl's carriage; the immediate
production of positive proof that the Vali
of Monastir has been actually banished:
the immediate severe punishment of all
the civil and military officials responsible
for the murder.
"In addition to these demands. Ambas
sador Zlnovlcff was Instructed as a means
of ceneral pacification in the villayet of
Monastir to make this demand:
"The Immediate severe punishment of
all Turkish officials regarding whose out
rageous behavior a report was made by
the Director of the Russian Consulate at
Uskub after making a tour of the villayet
of Kossovo in company with the Austrian
Consul; the reinstatement of Ishmael
Hakkl. who was dismissed, but whose ef
ficiency was indorsed by Hllma Pasha,
Inspector-General of Macedonia; the Im
mediate releaeo of the peasants on whom,
according to the reports of the Russian
and American Consul, the Turks perpe
trated atrocities; the Instant dismissal
and punishment of the officials of the ad
ministration of Salonlca and Prlsrlend
whoso malpractices have been brought to
light; and. finally, the foreign officials
employed In Macedonia shall Immediately
enroll fresh gendarmerie and police for
the adequate protection of the peaceable
population and' the introduction of legis
lative order."
On August 12, Count Lamsdorff tele
graphed to tho Russian diplomatic agent
at Sofia that the Imperial government
could not obtain adequate satisfaction for
the assassination of M. Rostkovoskl, and
therefore had already taken measures to
secure redress. As on the occasion of the
murder of Consul St. Chberina, the sup
pression of tho Insurrectionary movement
among the Albanians was demanded, so
on the present occasion demands had been
presented to tho Ottoman government for
tho severe punishment of all tho military
and civil authorities guilty of atrocities
against the Christians.
Count Xamsdorff promised tho diplomat
ic agent that it was his duty to seo that
Russia's vigorous attitude toward the
Porte was not interrupted by tho Bulgar
ian committee, as indicating any change
In the political programme laid down In
previous government communications. It
would bo a dangerous error, added the
Russian Foreign Minister, on tho part of
the principality to consider Russia's pres
ent action as fostering the revolutionary
agitation of the Macedonian committee,
whoso continued criminal activity was a
hindrance to the pacification of the villa
yets, and therefore to the Introduction of
reforms. From the Russian Consular re
ports it was clear that tho peaceful Chris
tian population suffered at the hands of
the revolutionary bands ns much as they
did from tho outrages and robberies com
mitted by Turks.
All these circumstances, concluded Count
Lampdorff. proved the necessity for the
most vigorous counter-action on the part
of the Bulgarian government, with a view
to the suppression of the troubles in the
'Balkan Peninsula.
REPORT OX COURT-MARTIAL.
Successor of Russian Consul Who
AVns Slain, Tells of the Trial.
ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. 16. The fol
lowing telegram has been recolved by the
government authorities from Dr. Mandel
stam. who succeeded M. Rostkovoskl, the
murdered Russian Consul at Monastir.
giving an account of the court-martial of
the murder:
"After proceedings extending over four
days, the military court presided over by
lahem Bey today gave judgment. Dur.
ing the trial I exercised the rights and
privileges of a public' prosecutor. In view
of tho circulation of tho outrageous report
that the Consul had insulted and struck
tho Turkish eentrj. and even that he had
shot at him. I insisted that before the
court gave Judgment it should clear up
tae circumstances of the affair. By reply
ing to a series of questions put by ay.
sell, me court found as follows:
"The sentry did not give the Consul :
military salute. The Consul first beck
oned to him and then left the carriage and
asked the man his name. It was abso
lutely proved that M. Rostkovoskl neither
shot at Hallm (the sentry) nor in any way
insuitec mm. but that Hallm Immediately
fired at the Consul several times, and
when the Consul fell stepped up and fired
again with the rifle close to the Consul's
head, afterward battering bis temples with
the butt end of his rine.
"Hallm waa charged with the actual
murder. Another sentry named Abbas.
who waa charged with having failed to
afford the Consul any protection, and two
other sentries, Seinl and Assln. who were
absent at the time of the murder, but the
former of whom tried to excuse his com.
rade, were brought before the court. The
chief gendarme was charged with having
placed at important posts wild Albanians
who could not even speak Turkish. Sec
ond Lieutenants Ismail Hakkl and "Sallch
Kadri were prosecuted because on the
way to the Russian Consulate after-the
murder, in speaking with Schoolmaster
Misclkoff, they referred to the murdered
Consul in coarse and insulting terms.
Tewflk. a lamp-cleaner, who before the
court contradicted the testimony of the
other witnesses and declared that the
Consul had struck the sentry and had
shot at him. was charged with perjury.
"The court-martial sentenced Hallm and
Abbas to death, Seinl to 15 years and
Tewflk to five years' penal servitude. The
officers. Ismail and Salich. were sentenced
to be dismissed from the army. Assln was
acquitted. After I had signed the Judg
ment it was read to the accused in my
presence. .
"Husseen Hllml Pasha stated that he
had received an order from Constantino
ple to carry out the sentences immediate
ly. The two men sentenced to death were
hanged today. The dismissal of the offi
cers from the army will take place this
evening. The chief of the gendarmerie,
the chief General in tho gendarmerie for
the City of Monastir and the Captain of
.the company to which Hallm belonged
have been deprived of their commands and
handed over to the judicial authorities.
An inquiry has been instituted for the
purpose of discovering who fired at the
Consul's carriage from the military bak
ery." FEARS AO BIG OUTBREAK.
Bulgarian Premier Believes Trouble
Will Be Confined to Monastir.
SOFIA, Bulgaria, Aug. 15. Premier
Petroff has just returned from a visit to
the Macedonian frontier where it touches
the District of Dubnitza, and he takes a
somewhat optimistic view of the situa
tion in Macedonia. He believes that the
outbreak will be confined to tho vilayet of
Monastir, where the Turks will probably
succeed in suppressing the insurrection.
When interviewed today on the conditions,
be discussed the affairs frankly. Regard
ing the reports that Bulgaria was re
sponsible for the outbreak, he pointed out
that the center of the disturbed area is
nearly 200 miles from the Bulgarian fron
tier, and is separated from It by a country
largely inhabited by Turks. Consequently,
he said, it is foolish to say the movement
Is aided by bands from Bulgaria, and It
is equally unreasonable to suggest that
the arms of the Insurgents came from
Bulgaria.
He asserted that as a matter of fact the
guns used by the insurrectionists are all
of French manufacture, and most of them
were bought from Turkish officers and
men who, 'receiving no pay, had resorted
to the sale of their guns and ammunition
to obtain money. The insurrection, he
declared, was entirely a National Mace
donian movement, organized by the Mace
donian Internal Committee which in Itself
was proof of the shocking "conditions of
affairs due to the excesses of Turkish
soldiers who, on tho pretext of searching
for arms, entered Macedonian villages
to plunder and destroy. The situation in
the unhappy villager he thought had been
rendered more desperate by tho refusal- of
the Turks to permit the unemployed to
leave in order to secure work elsewhere.
This goaded the population to the most
desperate measures.
Premier Petroff declared the Bulgarian
government Is doing its utmost to main
tain peace. "Xot only Is the frontier care
fully guarded, to prevent the crossing of
Individual bands," said he, "but a rigid
inspection also exists at interior points
and it Is absolutely certain that no bands,
large or smail, are crossing the frontier
at this time.' A fewndivlduals may, of
course, bo crossing. Little excitement or
enthusiasm is evident in Bulgaria now,
but .should the unexpected happen and a
massacre of Bulgarians occur, or should
tho movement assume alarming propor
tions', the population of Bulgaria would
naturally become greatly excited and,
while the government Is most anxious to
maintain peace, it would, of course, be
forced to consider the Bulgarian popular
sentiment Thus a most critical situation
might arise. It appears now, moreover.
as if the movement would be confined.
notwithstanding the reports of its exten
sion." M. Petroff say's that tho Turks are pour
ing overwhelming forces into Monastir
and that thoy are sufficient not only to
suppress the present rising, but to de
stroy tho entire revolutionary movement
unless the powers Interveno to prevent
Turkey from taking rigorous measures.
Upon the whole, the Premier believes
there is no immediate cause for alarm.
On the contrary, he Is of the opinion that
the situation will soon change for the
better.

Britain, will ralso no objection to the de

cate that Russia intends to pursue a
more independent course than heretofore.

squadron will appear before Constantino

for the Good of the Service.
ATLANTA, Ga,, Aug. 15. The Georgia

vestigating tjie whipping of Mamie de

Crls, and that he was led to it by severe
aggravation.

ticular punishment was an "error on the
part of tho warden, who, recognizing that
his usefulness may have been impaired
by reason of the prejudice against him
caused by tho De Cris affair, has volun
tarily handed In his resignation."

CHINA DISCREDITS IT.
Roosevelt Xot Asked to Arbitrate In
the Manchurian Dispute.
PEK3N. Aug. 15. The report that Rus
sia and China will ask the American Gov
eminent to arbitrate all questions aris
ing over the Russian occupancy of Man
churla is absolutely discredited here. It
is believed, nevertheless, that both of
these powers have already arrived at a
mutual understanding on the subject, al
though upon what terms none of the
foreign Legations here have as yet been
able to ascertain. America Is generally
considered one of the last governments
which could possibly be asked to arbitrate
in this case, owing to the position it has
already taken in strongly advising China
to use -every effort to secure the evacua
tion of this northern portion of the empire
by Russia.

STOMAC
The stomach being the measure of man's strength it is
very essential to perfect health to see that this important organ
be strong and vigorous. If it is not, Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters will make it so. No other remedy can do as much for a
weak stomach as this one, because it contains only such ingre
dients as will tone up and strengthen it, Thousands of persons
today take it in preference to all other medicines because they
know it is reliable. A dose before meals will aid the stomach
in its work of digestion, thereby preventing and curing NAU
SEA, HEARTBURN, I IN DIGESTION, DYSPEPSIA,
CONSTIPATION and BILIOUSNESS. Good health will
then surely follow. Don't fail to try it. Here is convincing proof.
