SEEIOUS; ALLEGATIONS.
Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. London*, July 17. M. Stambuloff lost one eye, and had fifteen ghastly wounds on hi 3 head caused by the knives of the attempted assassins. He was only just recovering from an attack of diabetes, and this it is feared will prevent his rallying. It is supposed that the driver of his coach slowed down in order to allow the assault, and that he was in league with the perpetrators of the crime. Several further arrests have been made. M. Stambuloff's heart action has been stimulated by means of injections. The Government had previously refused to allow the exPremier to return to Bulgaria, as it was long feared that an attempt would be made to assassinate him.
July 18. European opinion holds that Prince Ferdinand's Government is responsible for the attack on M. Stambuloff, and it is believed that serious events will follow.
Sofia, July 16. M. Stambuloff is in a comatose state, and his condition is regarded as hopeless. Ministers assert that he was the victim of hie own imprudence in refusing special protection. M. Stambuloff recognised two of his assailants as men implicated in the murders of Beltchoff and Vulkovitch.
It is reported that the police are backward in pursuing the assassins.
