The official report in regard to the Kochana massacre shows that several officers, a large proportion of the gairiron. ami three civil officials actively participated in the killing of the Bulgarians. The. latest news from the frontier tends to confirm the statement that the military destroyed 11 villages in the Beltane district. An apparently inspired statement states that many of the Albanian tribesmen, when dispersing honjewards, pillaged the tide depots at Prizren. Diakovaspec. Mitrovitza, and Sienitza., and seized altogether 17,000 rifles. Albanian opinion in Constantinople is sceptical regarding the participation ol their kinsmen in the alleged massacres at Billopoleh and Sienitzn. The Governor at Berat telegraphs that the Albanians are dispersing homeward quietly. The Valis in all the European provinces have been instructed to apply throughout their districts the concessions made to the Albanians. Time are indications that the same, measures will be introduced into Anatolia. MONTENEGRO RESTLESS. THE KING WARNED. CETINJK, August 27.
