Individual Murders, Rapine, Fillage and Incendiarism Are Reported. Many Women Among the Victims. Sofia, Bulgaria, August IS—The Bul garian government has presented a randum to the powers setting out at great length the condition of affairs during the past three months in Mace donia since the Turkish goverr.-:-"': 'un dertook to inaugurate the premised re forms.

Wholesale Massacres Wholesale massacres, individual mur ders. the destruction of v...a.ges the pi.- laging and setting fire to houses, the ar rests, ill-treatment, tortures, arbitrary im prisonment and banishment, the closing end disorganizing of churches and schools the ruining of merchants the CPlltCtiar. .at.., tapes-fru. n-.a-.-v rears. in dum. are among the acts of the Ottoman administration of the vi.iyets of Salonica Monastir, Uskub and Arrlanopie.

The estimates obtainable give for the vilayet of Salonica 900 prisoners; for Vskub, 500; for Monastir. 850. and for Adrianople. 550; a grand total of 2,800. A» information is lacking from many dis tricts in tlfese villages, it is thought that without exaggeration the number of pris oners may be placed at even three times ’ this total Other Acts of Oppression. | Dealing with other acts of oppression, the memorandum states that the Bul garian merchants and artisans living in Constantinople and Salonika •ta ordered to return to their native villages and were not allowed any time, or oppor tunity to dispose of their business or property. Some of these Bulgarians, who with their families, had been established for twenty years or more, were utterly ruined. As the order applied equally to professors and schoolmasters the Bul garian schools w-ere closed before the end of the school year. The authori ties rigorously enforced the same order against the Bulgarian priests, making every effort to paralyze the de velopment of religious and educational work, and deprive the Bulgarian chinch of all its privilege, and force the people to come under the authority of the Greek patriarch. Encouraged by the Ottoman author! ties, the Greek bishops and archiman drites forced their way into the Bulgarian churches and burned the prayer books ..i.u menaced the people. The archiman drite of Salonica declare d in a recent ser mon that the sultan did not want Bul garian artisans in his empire: if they nmaii tiiey would be exterminated. In addition . -th- decree banishing the Bulgarian tradesmen from Conslanti noe'e and Sa a. the porte adopled n,i.a>i:res to rum the traders elsewhere. ■ of J sued ai ■o-r April o' forbidding f go r even t istanti s order was interpreted to prevent Bul garians going to any large ciiy and forcing them to deal only with Turkish mere ants who would gradually ruin and su; ; I.mt them. The provincial adminis tr.'iti -ri empioyed every possit ’ means t :'..-t.i.l mussuimans in the Bulgarian Manges. On the slightest pretext th-. Bul garians were forced to sell their lands to the Turks at any price the latter chose to pay Burdened with taxes liable to perform statute labor for the Turkish i kind owners, the population is reduced • to a state of se-rfuim. Td is one of the . principal causes of discontent, and when kddea the -. xa :. ns < f the tax gatherers. ; is no; difficult b understand why the wit-tell -I p< pie should revolt from a despotic government and servitude, Ottoman Rule Intolerable. In conclusion, the memorandum asserts that the foregoing exposure more condemns Ottoman administrative gov ernment in Europe. It says ' Not long ago the porte denounced these- rovaluiionary movements as being fomented by Bulgaria and tried to put responsil >n this ■ Toda-i it r.-..:.-; ac.know.edge ih.it it is its bad administration which is the only cause for the trouble.. From sad expe rience the porte must learn that sys tematic persecution, cruel injustice and bloody repression do not restore order and peace m a country.

MONDAY, AUGUST 17, 1903. i situation here is the remarkable quietude , with which the people have received the news of the fresh fighting in Macedonia. The whole outbreak came as a great sur j prise, even to the local revolutionary com- • j mittee. which are not prepared for so . early a rising. In spite of the stirring ap i peals of the committees little or no popular enthusiasm is apparent, not even among the 20,000 Macedonian residents of Sofia. How long this condition will last depends largely upon the developments in Macedonia. At present the center of tne | disturbances is Monastir, a long way off. Should the rising spread ! to the vilayet of Vskub and come near ’ i The Bulgarian frontier, it is probable that < the population of Bulgaria will become j aropsed. Albanians Attack Turks.
