By. Telegraph—Press AssociationCopyright. Received 10.13 p.m., July 3. LONDON, July 3
M. Petroff, Premier of Bulgaria, in an interview with the Times’ correspondent at Sofia, recently complain-1 ed that Turkey was deliberately exterminating Macedonians and Bulgarians. He expressed contempt for the Turkish army’s inability to mobilise under two months, even then it was incapable of rapid movement. The Bulgarians were able to mobilise a quarter of a million, the | majority of whom were armed with Manlichers, five hundred rounds of ammunition per rifle, and with three hundred shells per gun. He did not apprehend trouble on the side of Servia and Roumania in the event of war, and Turkey had more to‘lose and less to gain than Bulgaria! The Kolluische Zeitung declares that Bulgaria is seeking excuses to revive the Macedonia question. It strongly warns her that she will be isolated in the event of a struggle.,
