Sofia, October 28.—Bulgaria has
been occupying considerable atten

ing to keep the promises he made af

Sofia therefore compelled tbe prince
to Hummou the assembly. That body
would not permit tiie formation ofun
Austrian alliance, but the breach
tween Prince Alexander ami
Russian military ministers, which
had been widening lor some
time, finally came to a head.
The Bulgarian liberals wished the
prince to form a coalition ministry
ami return lo the old consiitior
which lie hud violently abolished,
the Russian generals, according t<
this plan, retaining their posts in tin
new ministry. Ptince Alexander re
jected this proposal, aud after a

special envoy. M. Jon ion, requested
the two Russian ministers, Generals
rt >boh fland Kainbarse, to lay down
their portfolio!, and ordered the Bul
garian conservative leader, M Gre
coil, to form a new ministry. There
upon General Koholetf, acting on the
direct orders from the ezir, called on
the prince and tefused to take his dis
missal. This the Russian fol
lowed up by presenting an ul

of which weie the demission of his
full powers by the prince, the prac
tical dictatorship of the Russian gen
erals, and the convocation of a con
stituent assembly under their aus
pices to draw up a new constitution.
After contemplating abdication and
vainly appealing to the powers, the
prince finally decided to yield,and pri

I’ish a list of tiie names of tlieir pres
ent and former acquaintances, tho
alleged motive for winch require
ment being the finding of compro
mising documents in tlieir posses-
asunder, aud telegraph poles for half
a mile were prostrated. Nothing re*
mained of the magazine, and tiie men
who stood near it, just before the ex
plosion, were missing. Portions of
tiie bodies, including legs, arms,
hands and heads, have been picked
up half a mile distant, but so disllg*
ured as to be unrecognizable. The
names of only three of the victims
are known: George Reynolds, en
gineer; Tice, a brakeumn, ami Ham
mond, a switchman.
The cause of the explosion is en
veloped in mystery, aud as the live
men who might have thrown some
light on the accident are dead, it is
probable that the cause will never he
known. Not far from the scene a
gun was found. It is supposed that
one of the victims discharged it, tiie
concussion causing dynamite to ex
plode.
An inquest was held to-day by the
coroner and a verdict of accidental
deatli whs rendered. Great excite
ment prevails and hundreds of peo
ple have gone tc the sceue of the dis
aster.

Washington, October20 —Lieut.
W. A. Kobhe, of the Third Artillery,
who is stationed at Mount Vernon
Barrucks, Alabama, reported recent
ly to the war department that there
was at that post a white mule, forty-
live years of ago, named
“Mexiquo,”which had boon formally
years in the service of (lie United
Stales, hut which at last had been
ordered sold. The olficers of the
post, Lieutenant Kobbe said, desired
permission to purchase tho animal
ami keep and care for him at. tlieir
u expense. Major F. L. Guenther,
of the Hccond Artillery, to whom the
petition was referred, reported that
the mule in question was originally'
left at Key West barracks in ISIS by
a portiou of the army returning Iroiii
Mexico at tho close of the war.
“During the time,” Major Guenther
says, “that 1 served at Key West,
from 1875 to 18H0, tiie mule did not
inisss a day’s work from any cause.
He is very old, and lias been worn
out by Ids long service in tiie quar
termaster’s department. If thtruis
any way of providing for him I
should be glad to have it done, a^ tiie
expense to tiie government would he
little or nothing.” The petition went
through the regular channels until
it reached Quartermaster General
Holabird, who endorsed it
as follows: “To promote a
sentiment of kindness towards ani
mals that are so intimately associated
witli man, it is recommended in this
special case that this mule he kept in
the department ami left to the cure of
those whose kindly feelings are so
deeply enlisted in its behalf. Gen
eral Sherman submitted tiie case to
tiie secretary of war witli the follow
ing report: “I have seen that mule,
ami, whether true or false, the sol
diers believe it wus left ut
Big Boring, where Mount Ver
non Burrocks now aie, ut the
time Gen. Jackson’s army camped
there about 1819-20. Trudiliou says
it was once sorrel, but now it Is
white from ago. The quartermaster’s
department will be chargeable with
ingrutitude if that mule is sold, or
care or maintenance of it thrown on
the charitable officers of the post. I
advise that it* he kept in tbe de
partment and fed urn! maintained till
death. I think the mule wus at For*
Morgan, Mobile Point, when I w s
there iu 1842 ”
The secretary of war thereupon
made the following order: “Lot. tins
mule be kept ami well cared for as
long as he lives.”
