THE ST PETERSBURG CONFER-

ENCE.

BULGARIA UNDECIDED:

London, June 17. "The Times'" Sofia correspondent says that' M. Criieschoff's resignation is duo to Russia's change of attitude towards the Serbo-Bulgarian treaty. Russia persuaded Bulgaria to desist from the attack on Chataldja, promising to induce Servia to" respect the treaty; but after the signature of peace she urged Bulgaria to modify the treaty.

M. Gueschoff resigned to enable a coalition Cabinet usder Dr Daneff to deal with.the crisis. The situation is still dangerous. Although Bulgaria and Servia accepted the Czar's arbitration, the attitude of neither towards the treaty has changed.

The two armies are so inflamed that a conflict may occur before tho St ! Petersburg conference assembles. i The "Daily Mail's" Sofia correspon-

' dent says that Bulgaria will refuse to \ attend the St Petersburg conference unless Servia is pledged to abide by the conference's decisions.
