The News-Chronicle’s Sofia correspondent says that Bulgaria’s real Dictator is not evou a member of the new Government. He is Damien Velteheff. a retired colonel, who led the conspirators when they burst into the palace and demanded the establishment of a military dictatorship. King Boris is reported to have offered to abdicate rather than submit, but the conspirators persuaded him to change his mind. The conspirators are mostly officers who served under Velteheff. He refused a post in the new Government, but dominates it.
King Boris has lived in virtual retirement since tho putsch. No news of any kind is given out from the palace.
