Prince Ferdinand Has
Skipped From
Bulgaria
Boss Might Find Good Job by
, Applying Forthwith
at Bulgaria's
Capital
Dolgrnde, Servla, July 24. Prince
Ferdinand of Bulgaria, accompanied
by his chlldron, passed here this
morning, bound jfor Vienna. Tho
prlnco'B departure from his kingdom
has given rise to the belief that there
Is trouble In Bulgarlai One report Is
that he lied to envo his life. Bulgaria
Ib much more disturbed than It has
been for somo time. When the Bel
grade tragedy occurred tho discon
tented In Bulgaria openlv ndvoratod
following tho example. The newspa
per Temps says tho Servian railway
administration has been requested to
send a special train to Trarlbord for
Ferdlhaild, who, It Ib stated, never In
tndB to return to his kingdom. It
says the condition of affairs In Solla
Ih so highly critical that the prince
lied on tho advice of his counsellors,
who have dlscovored a widespread
plot to assasslnato him. The police
and military have been patrolling the
palace and neighborhood.
London. July 24 Tho fact that
neither confirmation nor denial has
followed tho report that King Ferdl
nnnd of Bulgaria has abdicated his
it. winn in tho nrnsont case, amounts
almost to a confirmation, as Indicated
by the Bulgarian consor having stop
ped all messages from Sofia. It Is not
considered probable In official circles
bore that much bioouBiieu oceurreu,
but it Is generally belloved that For
dlnnnd. alarmed by threats of assas
sination, fled. Ho may possibly hnve
gono to Vienna to. obtain the support
of tho powers to strengthen his seat
on tho throne. Any revolutionary
movoment In Bulgaria will bo regard
ed jvlth tho gravest alarm, as tondlng
to open the Bnlkan question, and the
Bulgarian armyt onco out of hand,
would declare war on 'Turkey, and en
deavor to relieve a lot of tho Sultan i
Christian subjects.
Vienna, July 2 The nowspa'per
Korrospondenz Wllholm says It Is au
thorized to state that Fordlnand of
Bulgnria. has not abdicated, but Is on
a visit to the gravo of his fathor, at
