THE RUSSIAN PLOT IN BULGARIA.
SENSATIONAL DISCLOSURES.
M". STAMBULOFF AND TEE SULTAN.
Prat Auoeiation.—EUctrie Teltoraph.—
, Constantinople, August 15. M. Stambuloff's visit was made at the request of the jSnltan, who treated him in princely style. The Sultan assured his visitor that he would recognise Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria at the proper moment. Mr. Stambuloff showed the Sultan letters privily seized from the Russian dragoman, Jacobsen, which implicated the Russian Government in the recent attempted assassination of Prince Ferdinand. It is stated that Russia, through the medium of the French Ambassador at Constantinople, requested the Sultan not to see M. Stambuloff. The documents found in the possession of the Russian, Jacobsen, show that M. Hitrovo, the Russian Minister at Bucharest, wrote to the Foreign Office at St. Petersburg, proposing to remove Prince Ferdinand by means of a revolutionary committee, or the use of dynamite, hence the recent discovery of a number of bombs in Rustchuk.. The Foreign Office had previously informed M. Hitrovo that Ferdinand was regarded as beyond the pale of all laws, and that he (Hitrovo) should seek fit tools to remove him.
