TURKS'ATROCITIES
General Situation in Macedonia
is Considered at Sofia as Be
coming Intolerable.
OUTLOOK IS EXCEEDINGLY SERIOUS
Mutilated Corpses of 90 Women and
Children Were Found in One
Building at Kroshevo.
Fifteen of the Principal Merchants of
Monastir Killed and Their Heads
Exhibited on Poles Other
Outrages Committed.
Sofia, Aug. 25. With the rumors of
massacres and the murder of prisoners
In Monastir now authenticated, tho
general situation, is considered here
as fast becoming intolerable. Ofllcial
and diplomatic circles alike are con
cerned, having' every reason to fear
that only a part of the horrors, enacted
In the interfor of Macedonia, have
come to light as yet.
The revolutionary committee are do
lng their utmost to force the hands of
the Bulgarian government and the Im
mediate outlook Is exceedingly seri
ous. It appears that tho Turks have ob
tained the upper hand In the vilayet of
Monastir and the Insurgents are plan
ning to remove the center of their ac
tivity close to the Bulgarian, frontiers.
Dispatches arriving Monday from the
disturbed area are exceedingly gloomy.
From Adrlnople comes the news of a
Turkish defeat and the extension of
the revolutionary outbreak; from Mon
astir, the news of Turkish victories ac
companied by barbarous excess.
While many of the reports remain
without confirmation, sufficient authen
tic details aro forthcoming to cause
the authorities the gravest anxiety.
According to the Sofia Dnevnik the
Turks committed unspeakable atroci
ties at Krushevo.
The mutilated corpses of 90 women
and children were found in one build
ing; pieces of the bodies had been
thrown into the street. Fifteen of the
principal merchants of the town were
killed and their heads exhibited on
poles at Monastir.
At Monastir the churches were de
molished, the houses sacked and the
town is now in a heap of ashes. The
populace fled to the hills, where they
are in a starving condition.
, The Dnevnik also asserts that a gen
eral massacre has taken place In the
whole vilayet of Monastir. Nearly all
the villages have been destroyed. The
treacherous murder of 80 insurgent
prisoners by their guards near Monas
tir has made an especially bad lmpres
slon here.
Many rumors are current of massa
cres in the city of Adrlnople but con
firmation Is lacking. The situation
there, however, undoubtedly Is seri
ous. The population Is afraid to leave
the houses. The prisons are full and
the vail has taken private houses to
bo used as jails. When the Russian
consul protested at the situation, the
vail is reported to have answered that
he was powerless against the fanant
Ical population.
BIG FIRE IN BUDAPEST.

Buda Pest, Hungary, Aug. 25. Fire

fourth floors. Only the work peoplo.
near tho doors were able to escape.
The residents above, seeing their es
cape cut off, clung desperately to the
windows, screaming for help. Tho
firemen held out sheets of canvas and
called to them to jump. Fifteen per
sons were saved in this way but many
missed tho sheet, 13 being killed on
the spot, Including two children. Eight
persons were mortally and 'nine were
seriously Injured.
It is known that 120 people perished
in the flames. The damage Is esti
mated at 4,000,000 kronen, mostly cov
ered by Insurance,
