understood here, fs to bring about European intervention by provoking the Turks to a massacre, and the murder of the Russian consul at Monastic. M. Rostkovski, is considered here to have played into the hands of the revolutionists in this respect. M Rcstkovskl is reported here as having been a very arrogant official, who. upon occasions, boxed the ears of soldiers and police whose conduct displeased him. Bulgaria Looking On. Sofia Aug. 11. —It is believed here that the Turkish government provoked the present Macedonian rising, for not only has Turkey failed to execute the promises made to the Bulgarian government for the amelioration of the condition of the Bulgaria® Macedonians. but she has increased her persecution and maltreatment, thus exasperating them. If the Turks should try now to suppress the rebellion by the massacre of innocent people the Bulgarian government would be obliged to intervene. Dynamiters’ Plans Go Wrong. Constantinople.
