fainted on learning that the gift was
from thp president of the United

ron in Support of Her Dip
lomatic Endeavors.
WAR IS CONSIDERED INEVITABLE,
The Portes' Attention Drawn to tho
Danger of Permitting the Con
tinuation of Massacres.

An Endeavor to
Avert a Conflict.

powers, according to the latest tele
grams, are directed both at Constanti
nople and Sofia towards an endeavor
to avert war. It is said that all the
ambassadors at Constantinople have
drawn the portes' attention to tho dan
ger of permitting a continuation of the
excesses In Macedonia by the Turkish
troops and Irregulars.

stands that Great Britain has decided
on a still stronger- step in the dispatch
of a British squadron In support of her
diplomatic endeavors at Constantino
ple to put an end to the massacres. It
Is Impossible, however, to confirm or
deny the Dally Chronicle's statement
Most of the special correspondents
In the near east consider war inevlt
able, but think It may yet be delayed,
neither the Bulgarians nor the Turk3
being really prepared for it. Bulgaria
Is not sufficiently armed, while Turkey
does not feel safe until her lines of
communication are less at the mercy
of Bulgarian Insurgent bands.

Ferdinand, of Bulgaria, has sent a,
trusted agent to King Peter, Inviting
Servian co-operation against Turkey.

graph at Sofia says Bulgaria's reply
to the porte's protest against the con
tinual crossing of the frontier by bands
and the smuggling of arms and ammli
nltlon from Bulgaria was couched In
most uncomplimentary language, leav
ing no prospect whatever of an amica
ble arrangement.

Sofia says Prince Ferdinand will grant
an audience to John B. Jackson, tho
United States agent at Sofia.
