Notwithstanding the warning which Russia addressed to the Bulgarian gov ern, It Is generally believed here that the Russian naval demonstration in Turkish waters will dangerously enoourage the Macedonians who, it Is asserted, will interpret Russia’s actiSfc as being the first step toward Inter- ration in their behalr. The insubordination of the Turkish troops Is regarded as being one of the greatest dangers of the present Bal kan crisis. The lack of discipline among the soldiers is marked. It Is found necessary to humor them in or dsr to prevent conflicts between the soldiers and their officers. F° r Instance, a regiment, while on the way from Uskub to Mbnastlr de manded that the train be stopped at (Monica for 12 hours Instead of for the scheduled half hour, so that ths soldiers might amuse themselves in the town.
