BULGARIAN REPLY
TREATMENT OF PRISONERS
EXECUTIONS DENIED.
(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPiaiOET.) (REUTEK'S TELEGRAM.) LONDON, Ist 'May. .llic Bulgarian Legation at London lins issued a communique denying Colonel Wedgwood's statements. Tho document states that tho number of persons arrested throughout Bulgaria do not exceed two thousand, and six hundred h,ave been liberated. None have been tried yet, still less executed. Regret is expressed that Colonel 'Wedgwood and his Iriends had spent only three days at Sofia. If they had remained longer, tho communique declares, they would have' learned that the rumours to which they had given credence had no foundation in fact. The Agraro-Commun-lst conspiracy did nc<v come from the Constitutional Opposition. The latter including the Socialists, Democrats, and Liberals, enjoy full political liberties and a free Press.
Colonel Wedgwood declared that the Sofia Cathedral outrage was the sequel to a long course of agitation and repression, in which the peasants' and thp Macedonian insurgent movements eventually joined hands.
