The Daily News of Wednesday gives some further extracts from
the alleged secret Russian documents that are being given to the world by M. Stambouloff's organ, the Svoboda. According to these, M. Hitrovo wrote on January 20th, 1888, to the Asiatic Department that "the Bulgarian Govern- ment is so suspicions and so vigilant, that the endeavours of the two emissaries are likely to be as fruitless in the future as they have been in the past. He adds that only dynamite will be of any use, and asks for some cartridges to be sent to Rustchuk. where Prince Ferdinand was expected." It seems incredible that any diplomatist could join in suggesting the use of dynamite, but apparently the Svoboda insists upon the authenticity of the documents. Another of the documents contains the conditions upon which Major Panitza agreed to remove Prince Ferdinand. This is corroborated, says the Berlin correspondent of the Daily News, by a contemporary diary kept by one of Panitza's friends, which the correspon- dent has seen. The diary shows Panitza formulating to his friend exactly the same conditions as those contained in the alleged forged documents. More disclosures are promised by the Svoboda.
