The Bulgarian Disaster Many Lives Lost Panic-Stricken Population Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. SOFIA, April 20. Details emerging from devastated Bulgaria show that it was the most terrible earthquake in European memory. There were fifty severe shocks to-day, making 150 in three days, It has been definitely established that 120 persons have been killed and 400 injured, but it is impossible to calculate the number beneath the ruins.
