COMPLICATED PROBLEM. The Bulgarian Government Surely Has Its Hands Full. Sofia. Aug. 13—The government charges Turkey with do ng less to prevent the insurgents from cressing the frontier than Bulgaria, though Turkey maintains four tin es as many troops along the border. The Turkish , foldlers invariably retire to barracks at sunset and remain there until sunrise, leaving free egress to the Macedonian insurgents during the nights. The Turks fight bravely during daylight. but dislike skirmishing in the dark. It is everywhere declared that the present ministry is doing its utmost to check the revolutionary movement, but the situation is reaching a point where circumstances may prove too strong for the cabinet. The growing economic depression In the country constitutes a dangerous factor in the situation. The merchants are unable to obtain credit abroad and are forced to pay cash. The influx of thousands of Macedonians across the border has disorganized the labor market and has become a source of great discontent. To the commercial class the present conditions of affairs is no longer endurable. Even war. whatever might be the result, would be preferable, as it would be followed by a period of rest. The ministry is certainly confronted with a complicated problem. The return of Prince Ferdinand is quite indefinite. It is thought now that the premier will visit the Prince in Hungary after returning from his inspection of the frontier posts. f.’chammedans Taking Refuge.
