Hilmi Pasha, however, is following the linos of his predecessors, and the greatest excesses that have ever been committed have happened, since his arriv?l. Throughout the vilayet of Monartlr the Turkish sol diers are dally perpetrating almost inconceivable atrocities. They dishonor the young girls In the presei.ee of their parents and pillage ard murder every. where. They Even Rob the Corpse. Even funeral precisions are halted and the corTPS stripped' of the new clothes in which they are dressed, according to the Macedonian burial custom. The priests' vestments are seized. and the soldiers sell all their pluxder openly, the officers apparently consent ing. The informant of the Associated. Press says the Christian Inhabitants are terror-stricken, hourly fearing a jrmiercl massacre by the Mussulmans, whose fanatical hatred of the Christians has reached tbe highest point. The shops are e-Iosed In Mona stir, busineh is suspended and the streets are deserted. Consul Dare Not Leave Home. Even the consuls do not dare to venture outside their homes. The country people are afraid to come to the city, lest they should be robbed and murdered on the way. Europeans desiring to see the burned villages are prevented by the authorities on various excuses. The British consul wanted to go to Smilevo, but Hilmi Pasha in formed him that he could not guar antee his safety as the revolutionaries had plotted to kill him. Starvation In Front of 70,000 People. The informant continues that it is estimated that there are over 70,000 people in the fields without shelter and starving. Hilmi Pasha has promised the consuls that he will assist thedestitute people, but he has done nothing. even refusing to allow them to enter the town and beg fcr goods. Craeltlee Charged to ChrUtlaa. Many cruelties perpetrated by Chris tians are attributed to Greek spies beaded by a Greek bishop, who with the Greek consuls, it is said, are paid by the porte for their services. The Greeks are accused of inventing reports for the purpose of fanning the ' Mussulman hatred of the Bulgarians.
