Belga ria. Dente.' lteaps,nsibliily. London, May 18. -Cabling from Sofia, the correspondent of the Daily Newe says he luta 4104 a long inter- view with Premier Daoeff. The Pre- mier repudiated Bulgaria's responel- bllity for the Macedonian outbreaks, which, be said, were the work of a few irreconeilabtes, rind he protested Indignantly the rhnree that Bul- garia had winked at the revolution - 'tried. Tho Premier admitted that the Bulgarian army was strongly In sym- pathy with the movement ; he said. however, that this sympathy would not be allowed to interfere with Its loyalty. He could not avoid seeing that tome accident might precipitate a war involving Bulgaria, but Ilul- guria would not be the aggressor, and in the event of such a disaster it would not be her fault. In con - elusion, the correspondent quotee Premier Baneff as spying he coun- selled Prince Ferdinand to Issue an append to the powers to intervene in behalf of Macedonia. " Bulgaria hue no ambition to annex Mace• donna," he said, "and the existing reform scheme 1e quite Illusory." Statement. in British House.

London, May 18. -The correepond- cut of the Times at Sofia Buys in a dcepatch: "Some of the worst out- rages during the recent outbreak at Monaetlr wore perpetrated by Jews, who, anxious to show their eympe- thy with the stronger side, joined the Bashi-Bazouks to maltreating Bulgarians. According to official ac - mantle the *Laughter of Bulgarb;ns In neighboring villages was Cunsldereley greater than at first was 1.11pp0,e(1. At Zanarf thirty were killed or wounded, the Bnahf-Bazouks pnrthl- eating in the slaughter.

SIMN BY BaS111-m10UKS, Bulgarians Killed on Streets of Monastir. A PANIC STRICKEN TOWN Monastir, Macedonia, via London, May 18. - Hearing from a ecret sources that something of great Im- portance was likely to happen here, I came from Salontca by train, The predicted movement did not occur, but the unexpected happened. A miniature massacre took place, of which exaggerated aceoduts pro- bably have been telegraphed from the 0oaet. It was begun entirely by Bashi Bazouks, was carried on by them, and wee only stoppe(i by Turktah troops, under the liree- Hoe of the Governor, Ali Rita Pasha. There was a quarrel between a Bul- garian and in Turk. The Bulgar- ian, much to the astonishment of the Turk, was armed, When several Turks came to the rescue of their comrade, the Bulgarlau (drew a re- volver and shot ane of them. Ae the hews spread a crowd collected, and the Bashi. Bazouks, when the outcry to kill was raised, 'swarmed into the Bulgarian quarter, shoot- ing right sad left, and beating the unfortunate persons whom they overhauled. Thirty victims were reported kill- ed and several hundreds were beat- en uhmerolfully, knocked senseless and their bones broken, before the troops could arrive In sufficient strength to drive off the Mussulman population. The troops made It a point neither to kill nor hurt a Mos - fern, but drove Into their hetes all the Bulged ins found on the etro,rts, They (lid rot allow, Turkish 0IVilfa1114 to enter the houses of the Bulger - land, nor did they go themselves. The rioting began at half -past twelve, and was quelled by three o'clock. The bodies were taken oft in carte, as was done in Salonlca. Even the Consuls were stopped by the soldiers from going to the scene of the disturbance and making loves- tigatlona The town fell Into a panie; the shops were shut, and the new branch of the Ottoman Bank closed and strongly guarded, The next day there were a few email out- breaks In other portions of the town, and a few more Bulgarian's were killed. Tho Greek villagers liv- ing In the Bulgarian quarter were warned by their Turkish' friends to leave town, as a general massacre would undoubtedly bo brought on if the committees should begin throwing bombs. There were cav- alry patrols going about the etreete that day, and 4,000 troops were massed in the town. A MACEDONIAN LEADER 7o Murrr'it1 sCnih,ta,,n Well-known lin„li.lt Actress.

Eroldeen, arrived to -night from Ber- muda with a madman In her hold, who has been there for the past 19 days. The Emigrant lett Bermuda for Halifax on the 16th of April, end has therefore been 88 days on the passage. A few days out one of the crew, the carpenter, who had been Milpped at Bermuda, showed signs of Insanity, and got Into the hold, where the said he would etas Ile kept his word for three days, food beteg sent down to him. At tho end of that time he returned to the deck. but crazy as ever. He so an- noyed and alarmed tile crew. that they overpowered him, put halm in (rens, and locked titan to the fore- castle, the crew going aft. Not long afterwards, with oft, perlIuman strength, he broke his fet- ter'', (lashed down the door, and again rushed Into the hold. This was 19 days ago. Every effort was made to capture him, but none of therm were successful. els a last attempt,the mate and one of the crew went down to see what they could do. They beat a retreat and turned when fired upon by the madman, who had, no one knew how, pro- cured a revolver. T1ee crew were afraid to go near him again, and he was allowed to remain. Thle time everybody on board w;ns thor- oughly afraid, so they fastened down the hatches to prevent his coming up and perhaps committing mur- der. Food was lowered to him by nbueket, fence for the first five days the madman helped himself to it. Since then, however, the food has remninee untouched, and no Mgn seen or heard of the fended man. It le poeslble that the has crawler into mine corner and died, or he may have shot himself. The crew to -eight are still afraid to go into the hold, fearing that tate man is yet nllvo, and may use as a pro- tection the empty casks with whicih the, barque is loaded. With a pie - tel In his 11ande he might be nblo to do couslderable damage before being captured. ARTHUR PIERS, MANAGER. M' ill Comeel the tete tie and Atlantic ('. 1'. H. Fleets.
