London, Sept. 9. Spoclal dispatches
from tho near East, published hero th's
morning add httlo fresh nows regard
ing tho situation In tho Ualkana. All
tho corrospondonta at Constantinople
emphasise tho apparent danger of war
wjth Bulgaria, while the Sofia corros
pondonta are equally insistent as to the
prudent and correct attltiulo of Prince
Ferdinand and his government.
Accounts from both Turkish and in
surgent sources of the operations in
Macedonia show that tho work of ex
termination is proceeding unchecked,
and, although apparently emphasising
the danger of a conflagration, the pow
ers are making Httlo effort to inter
fere. It is believed that nothing of a
serious nature will bo dono until alter
the meeting of tho csar and Emooror
.traucis Joseph at Vienna, when it may
be too late.
The Inaurgenti are now said to num
ber 2,600 well armed and efficiently
commanded men. Their leaders will
atop at nothing to secure resources for
their equlpmeut.
The Sofia correspondent of the Dally
Telegraph says:
"I am in close toncb with the in
surgents and am sble to affirm emphat
ically that unless acceptable proposals
shall be mrde within two or three
weeks, Kurope will bo startled by a rec
ord of deeds unequaled In the blood
stained history of thn'East."
Tho .Morning Leader's correspondent
at Sofia says;the Turkish policy is to
draw tho Insurgents into action at all
points. The bands, however, are
avoiding conflicts nntil theh prepara
tions shall be romplotod. Thoy nro
gathering in masses at various stratcgin
points with a view to comprehensive
movement inside of 10 days.
An unconfirmed report from Vionn
states that the Bulgarian exarch has
been shnt up in his palace because of
his refusal to Issue a further pastoral
letter asking the Bulgarians to lay
down their arms.
