ROME, Aug:. 10. It is stated here
that there has been an exchange of
views between the powers regarding
the situation in Macedonia, and ap
parently the powers have decided to
support Austria- and Russia, in tae ef
forts to re-esfablish peace. ' j
The reports previously received here
from the Italian Consuls In the Balk
ans predicted the - present revival of
the insurrection which the Consuls
considered to be almost entirely the
work of Boris Sarafoff, the Macedonian
agitator. The plan of Sarafoff, as un
derstood, is to bring: about European
intervention by provoking Turks to
massacre. U !
Sofia, Aug. 10. The Macedonia com
mittee has issued the following-appeal
to jlhe "powers: "The Mussulmans sys
tematic, persecution" has compelled the
Christians in Macedonia to institute a
general rising. They have had re
course to this extreme measure after
exhausting all the' pacific powers to
secure lEe Intervention of Europe. The
sporadic efforts of the powers lo se
cure reforms have failed; they have
refultedmerely in greater oppression.

Y0RAN NOT ARROGANT
EUGENE SOLDIERS COMMEND . HIS
t ABILITY AS AN OFFICER ...
VERY. HIGHLY.
EUGENE. Or.. Aug. 10. The allega
tion of the Roseburg militia boys that
Coonel ; George . O. Yoran is an officer
who dellgbts in showing off his author
iity among the state soldiers is false.;
No One who knows the Colonel would
sccus him of being unduly "inflated
or arrogant in his position.-The mili
tia boys of Eugene resject Mr. Yoran
for' his knowledge of military affairs,
and for his ability as a guardsman.
Other companies in the regiment Just
disorganized speak for his ability as a
soldier, and .field commander. . 4;
, "ThV statement published In. Friday
evening's Telegram from "Roseburg
must have been written by an Irrespon
sible correspondent who did hot sound
the senUment of his , home company
very , deeply.", said one - guardsman.
"There are those who' kick at every of
ficer and at any kind 4 of work done.
Colonel Yorari lias received as few
complaints as auy other , officer- who
has served in the. National Guard as
long as he has. The Eugene officers
refuse to believe that the statement
published is a true fmprint'of (the sen
timent of Roseburgs militiamen.
I "Colonel Yoran's ' acUon in recom
mending Roseburg V the place of en
campment waa entirely unselfish. lie
was under orders to select a place, and
as the companies of. the regiment And
separate battalion could not, assemble
in the same place on account of a lack
of funds, selected- Roseburg because
that. city has not had" the 'enjoyment
of witnessing a military encampment
for a number of years.' c Roseburg
should feel honored for the selection
instead of registering a kick." . I
Captain J. M. Williams, of Company
C. believes that as much- good will
come of the separate battalion encamp
ment as would have resulted In an en
campment of the ste, in one spot. J,
The , companies would have to dd
battalion drill anyway, said' he "and
what is the difference where it Is held
Of course there -would be" more dress
parade and a bigger showing at single-camp,
something the soldier boys
are looking for. of course, but in the
actual benefit to 'National Ouardsmen,
the separate encampments will be of
as much and more value to the com
panies than the single; encampnlent.
