WAR CLOUDS HEAVY INDEPENDENCE OF BULGARIA TO BE PROCLAIMED. FERDINAND WILL BE CZAR Armed Conflict with Turkey Seema Certain to Follow—Austria Practically Annexes Bosnia and Herzegovina. London.—Events which threaten to change the political face of Europe are crystallizing with lightning rapidity. Almost over night the horizon of the near east, which seemed gradually to be assuming a peaceful appearance, has become crowded with war clouds. News has reached here from several sources that two definite strokes are impending which cannot fail to bring matters to a crisis, and perhaps force an Immediate’ war. One Is the proclamation by Prince Ferdinand of the independence of Bulgaria, which will include Roumella, taking for himself the- title of “Czar.” The other is an announcement pf Austria-Hungary of the practical annexation of the provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina as appanages of the Austro-Hungarian crown. Either action will be equivalent to the tearing up of the treaty of Berlin, while Prince Ferdinand’s course seems almost certain to precipitate a war between Bulgaria and Turkey. JJefore these possibilities, the quarrel over the East Roumellan section of the Orient railway sinks into Insignificance. Both armies are reported to be quietly and swiftly mobilizing near the borders. Bulgaria is said to be buying up munitions and horses on an extensive scale. The emperor of Austria, it Is understood, has dispatched a letter to the president of France, setting forth his intentions regarding Bosnia and Herzegovina, although the contents of the letter are kept secret, and he is sending similar notes to the other powers. While Austria’s action with regard to the two provinces may not technically be called annexation, It is believed it will amount to that, whatever It may be called. Apparently the emperor is determined that the destiny of these provinces shall be Austrian, not Turkish. For 30 years they have been administered by AustriarHungary, but they have always remained theoretically Turkish. HURRICANE IN MANILA BAY.
