It is semi-officially stated in Sofia that the question of making Bulgaria independent of Turkey has not been occupying the attention' of the Bulgarian Government, and that the railway seizure did not arise from the slighting by the Porte of the Bulgarian agent, M. Gueshoff (who did not receive from the new Turkish Government the usual diplomatic invitation). It is further stated that tho Bulgarian Government will endeavour to find a basis for satisfying the claims of tho owners of the railway, who on more than one occasion have expressed their readiness to sell their rights.
