Arrest of Macedonian Conspirators
Attributed to Pressure From Rus
sian Court Influence,
New York, Feb. 18. The unknown
factor In tho Eastern question Is the
czar's will, cays the London corrcs
pondent of tho Tribune. The arrest
of Macedonian conspirators In Bul
garia is attributed to pressure from
tne HubSlan court, but there is no de
cisive proof tiiat tho movement for
the emancipation of tho Balkan Ponin-
sula, which received a great stimulus
from tho festivities at Shlnka and So-
fia last year, has been condeintiPd In
St. Petersburg.
Tho principality of Bulgaria, which
was created by tho congress of Dor
lln, remains nominally a tributary
state of tho Turkish empire under
European protection, and tho minis
ters at Sofia are compelled to restrain
the activities of tbo Intriguers whllo
mo Russian and Austrian proposals
tor reform are under consideration
by tho powers. A premature outbreak
would prejudice against tho move
ment when tho sultan has not been al
lowed an opportunity for complying
with the reasonable demands or the
powers.
The Bulgarian ministry is probably
acting upon its own Initiative In sup
pressing tho recruiting of irregular
bands of volunteers, , and in looking
up the noisiest agitators, but It Is not
clear that either It or the Russian gov
ernment has gone further than to de
prive the Sultan of a plausible pro
text for rejecting a pacific mothod of
settling the Macedonian question.
