CONFIRMED BY RUSSIA'S COMMISSIONER.
DAILY SPOLIATION AND MURDER
LONDON, Aug. 21
The "Daily Telegraph's" Constantinople correspondent b.as obtained a copy of the report of the Russian Government official who was specially commissioned to investigate the Bulgarian atrocities.
The report bears out the fragmentary tales of horror previously published.
When Adrianople fell, mosques and private houses were despoiled ruthlessly and cart loads of so-called warbooty sent to Sofia.
Numbers of corpses of Mussulmans killed during the night were found every morning and even now the corpses of Turkish prisoners covered with wounds are found in public wells.
While 200 prisoners were being convoyed, Mustapha Pasha, who was sick and wounded and unable to march, was killed.
One group of sixty prisoners set free had hardly gone a dozen paces when the Bulgarians fired on them and fiftywere killed.
