O r "o : "W-- ; s Krir-hevo- ' The following letter from a missionary in Turkey, contains the first authentic! nows of the atrocities committed by the Turkish soldiers at tho Backing of Krushovo: Krushevo Is situated on tho summit of a hi!) eight hours Journey to the northwest of Monastlr. It contains nd 10,000 Inhabitants, 8,000 houses mostly AVallachs railing themselves Creeks. There are only about 100 Bulgarian houses, and the owners of The Wallachs are these are poor. prosperous merchants who go abroad on business, leaving their families at Krtshovo, and after making their fortunes by diligence and economy return to spend their wealth on tine houses, furniture, Jewels and vicious Indulgence. The bazaar and market are frequented by the inhabitants of the aurroundlng villages. Its Turkish neighbors have long looked askance at the prosperity of Krushovo. The Macedonian committee, on the other band, had already concerted arrangements with tho Bulgarians In Krush-vo- , with a view to bringing about disturbances there. This became known In July last, when tho Mudlr of Krush-vobserved a certain movement among tho Bulgarians, and warned the Vail of Monnstlr, begging him to Bond to Krushovo sufficient reinforcements, as the garrison of thirty soldiers was inadequate! Tho Valt of Monastlr, having received repentowarnings from tho Mudlr of Krushevo, tho latter, at tho end of July, went In person to Monastlr to consult tho Vail. Sunday, August 2, was the day flxod for tho Bulgarian attack upon Kreh-evo- . On that day four marriages were celebrated in the Creek church there. After the last marriage a KomltaJI, acting In conrert with tho band outside, remained hidden In the church. Tho sacristan locked the doors and departed at ten oclock. In the course of the night the KomltaJI who had hidden himself mounted the steeple, and began to sound an alarm, ringing the bell. Simultaneously a band ot 300, commanded by Petroff, entered the town, firing their rifles. The terrified Inhabitants, remained In their houses. The band proceeded to tee house of Mudlr, which they burned. The garrison of thirty soldiors surrendered and weie massacred. The officials were also killed, but the spared the Turkish harems. On Monday morning the Komltajls established a provisional government, consisting of a police and a municiThey killed ten Christians pality, who they considered had betrayed the plans ot the commlttno. They also railed upon the notables, a list of whom had already been prepared, and compelled them to contribute a sum ol 810,000.

Approaching the bouses, they ordered the Inmates to come out, searched them, stripped them naked, took from them the money and Jewels which the victims were trying to save, then put the women and children aside, selecting whoever among the former appealed to their brutish appetites. Anyone who resisted was Immediately killed. In this connection many terrible Incidents occurred. A father, Nicholas Pouscas, was attempting to protect his daughter from violation, when he was killed by a blow from a hatchet. The earrings were forcibly torn out of the girl's ears, and her hr ml was chopped off to enable the assailants to obtain the bracelets she wore. All tho houses were pillaged, and the Turkish peasants loaded their horses with whatever the soldiers could not carry away. The houses were then set on fire by means' of petroleum. The sack of Krushevo lasted three days, during which the women and children remained without food, shelter, cr mercy on tho part of the soldiers and Basil! Razmiks. It was only on Saturday that the occupation of Krushevo was reported at Monastlr. Tho C.reok bishop of Krushevo, who was absent at Monastlr, arrived at Krushevo on Saturday, and left agiin for Monastlr on tho Monday, having been nnablo to find any resting place.

Nearly another 87.500.000 Is swallowed up by presents, 85.000,000 goes for pocket money and still another 8,0uu,0O0 for the table.
