.1 HOSTILE PRESS Macedonian Leaders Say America is Hostile to Them. They Bare This Astonishing Surmist On the Alleged Inimical Tone of the Newspapers. Pres-dent es Macedonian Committee Says Newspapers Have Been Bought by Turkish Gold. Sofia, Bulgaria. Aug. 14. —The Macedonian I ?aders express themselves as greatly disappointed with what they assert is the distinctly hostile attitude of America toward their cause, as manifested in the utterances of the press. Dr. Christo Tartarcheff. one oi the presidents of the central internal Macedonian committee, deciares that his party is convinced that American newspapers had been bought with Turkish gold. “There seems to be no other explanation of the tone of their articles." said be. “they are not only unsympathetic toward the movement, but decidedly inimical to it. It is impossible that such an attitude could arise from ignorance of the true state of affairs in a ro-ntry so intelligent as America, and it is also difficult to believe ths* the impression created by the Miss Stone affair could have so prejudiced the American press. "In reiation to the present situation only real, practical intervention by the powers can stop the fignting of the insurgents. Fa'llng in such intervention the campaign will be prosecuted to the bluer end The band now fighting in the vil’.ayet of Munastir consists of 9.000 to 10.000 men. mostly young and enthusiastic and trained in the use of arms. Their number could be quadrupled were it not that the difficulty of feeding such an army renders its increase inadvisable. The Turkish troops are badly clothed a"d demoralized. They have repeatedly refused to march against the Insurgents. who are well supplied with arms and ammunition, chiefly pun-hasel from Turkish soldiers, who sold their guns for < ash almost within sight of the barracks of Monastir. By the plentiful employment of money, insurgent hands have been enabled to smuggle any quan’ity of guns across the frontier and the highest Turkish officials have readily accepted insurgent gold." Dr Tartarcheff concluded by saying that the committee lived in daily hope that the powers would recognize the justness of their cause and intervene. He said the friends of the cause looked chiefly toward England as the pioneer land of liberty to assist them. BROKE AGAIN. — Edward I— Dwyer Has Got Down to His Last >l5O. New York. Aug 14 —Edward L.
